A few of you already know from following me and my forever excited train of thought on Twitter, but yesterday I finally managed to get myself another internship. I'm going to be interning at Debenhams' Press Office for a few weeks in March which is really exciting! I graduate in May (well, I finish my studies, and graduate properly in November) and so far, I've had experience in both fashion journo and beauty PR, so I'm excited to add to that and see where my interests really lie. Got another internship interview type thing coming up as well, which I'll talk about if it goes well!
It's feedback week at Uni this week, which evidently means going in to Uni for 5 minutes a day, if that. Got my first module grade back on Tuesday, and I received an A1, which is 100 marks. One hundred(!!!) Out of one hundred. I've never been more shocked or proud in my life, so promptly skipped out to town, and picked up some beauty essentials as recommended by the beauty blogosphere: so far, I can easily advocate that both the VO5 Miracle Concentrate Elixir and Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection concealer are worth their pennies and the traipse around a sullen Southampton! Included my new Shu Uemura eyelash curlers in the photo as well: would also recommend those! (Also, you can still get 15% off orders at Beau XOXO with my code 'DAISYBUTTER', if you're after one of the glitter bows that I'm wearing above.)
Other than that, I'll leave you with some miscellaneous photos from my day so far: I'm off to watch this week's Glee episode, finish my Graze box, and find something new and red to wear on Monday (Chinese New Year)! ♥
PS. Voting for the longlisted Marie Claire Blog Awards closes tomorrow, so I'll finally be shutting up about that ;) Wish me luck?
oh how i could do with a graze box right now!amourette

ReplyDeleteI recently got my first Graze box.. not too sure of what I think about it so far!
congratulations on your grade, that's amazing! Everyone raves about the collection 2000 concealer, I've been meaning to try it for ages now xx
ReplyDeleteFull marks! That is absolutely amazing. Keep it up :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting 100/100! Good luck with your internship!
ReplyDeleteWell done on your 100 marks! I totally agree about the collection 2000 lasting perfection concealor, I've repurchased it like a million times, I love it that much! x

Congratulations on the Debenhams internship and your grade, you obviously work really hard and deserve to do well. Fingers crossed this good streak will continue through for the MC blog awards too! x
ReplyDeleteCongrats on top marks you little star! So happy for you! & congrats for the Debenhams placement, I bet it'll be great fun and you'll learn loads too! xx
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your A1 mark! Top of the top! I am dying to try that Collection 2000 concealer. Overall, I've heard such wonderful things about the line. I really wish that a lot of UK brands were sold over here. x
ReplyDeleteGOOOOOOOOOOOD LUCK for Marie Clare tomorrow, really hope you get shortlisted. You totally deserve it (bum sucking you much?!) BUT SERIOUSLY though!
ReplyDeleteAnd also good luck for your other intern interview thing.
AND CONGRATULATIONS, AND CELEBRATIONNNNS, for your A1 Mark (you clever egg) and your intern. It's so exciting for you!! The most exciting thing that I get congratulated on lately, is tidying the bedroom (I find it super difficult!)xx
Such a great idea (:
ReplyDeleteThank you Nicola, I'm seriously over the moon! I'd definitely recommend it, used it last night and I can already see a difference in how manageable my hair is!
ReplyDeleteThank you Carina! It's a bit of a mixed bag with Graze, the 'snacks' aren't as healthy as I would've thought, and I might just stick to eating fresh fruit instead! xx
ReplyDeleteThank you Victoria, I'm so pleased with it (: I didn't believe the hype, but I look seriously well rested today after using it this morning!
ReplyDeleteThank you Helena, so excited! xx
ReplyDeleteThank you! (:
ReplyDeleteEeek thank you Laura! I can see myself repurchasing it a lot too ;) although I'm after the Bobbi Brown creamy concealer when I'm out of Uni and in a job haha! xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Erin, it's been the craziest of weeks, so pleased with how things are going atm, fingers crossed for tomorrow :P xx
ReplyDeleteThank you Lauren! Such a little geek ;) I'm excited for the placement, I haven't worked in fashion PR yet, so I'm excited to give it a whirl and learn a bit on the way! xx
ReplyDeleteThank you Alyse, I literally died when I saw my grade! I'm so proud that I did that! There are plenty of US exclusive brands that I'd love to try as well, I wish shipping charges weren't so expensive. xx
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the a1 mark Michelle that is truly amazing! Things are definitely going your way and you deserve it :) x
ReplyDeleteD'aw thank you SO much Katy! I've been keeping everything crossed, although it's not the end of the world if I don't, I'm up against Coco's Tea Party and BeFrassy for God's sake ;) I'm such a bloody geek haha, so ridiculously happy with my result though, been walking around with a ridic grin plastered on my face all week! xxxx
ReplyDeleteThank you Corrie! Still can't quite believe it, my lecturer was laughing at me so much when I went to see her today :P Best of luck with Marie Claire tomoz lovely! xx
ReplyDeleteWell done on the A1 mark that is amazing - I can honestly say that I have never had 100% marks on anything and that includes primary school spellings ! Good luck for the Marie Claire awards and this is a reminder to myself that I need to try out VO5 Miracle Elixir ! xx
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting an internship!! That's amazing, you must be so excited :) I've been meaning to pick up that concealer too, sounds great xx
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Catherine! (: I was a spelling geek back in the day too actually, and you could never get my head out of a book! Thank you, I'm not holding my hopes out too much, but it'd be amazing to be shortlisted. I really like VO5's Miracle Concentrate, so good for the price! xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Stefany! I am actually! I haven't worked in fashion PR specifically yet, so it'll be a great experience, and something I'm really interested in (:
ReplyDeleteGood luck in the interview thing! (And I don't know what I'd do without my Graze boxes!)

ReplyDeleteCongrats on scoring the PR internship, it sounds great! I'd love to give PR a try after doing so many Journo placements. If I were closer to London it would be a lot easier for me and I'd be doing them so much more often but around here there's not much at all!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jane! It's been such a great week, keep having to knock on wood in case things go horrifically wrong for me soon haha! Hope you're well lovely (:
ReplyDeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteEeeeeek, so pleased with it, this week has been so good, I keep calling my Mum and knocking on wood 'just in case' I'm dreaming or something hahaha! xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Steph! xx
ReplyDeleteAw thank you Lucy!
ReplyDeleteThank you Cherry! I want to have a few variations of the industry in my work experience repertoire, they're all closely linked and would support each other (: Oh I can imagine, StudentJob.co.uk is really good for finding internships and grad jobs, if you haven't alr used them before! xx
ReplyDeleteCongrats on everything! It's nice to see someone who works hard do really well ^_^
