Hey peeps, you alright? The other week I went to see PRIDE. I really wanted to see it before it left cinemas and it most definitely exceeded my expectations! Isn't that a good feeling?!


Starring a whole range of people, from legends; Bill Nighy (my fav) and Imelda Staunton to upcoming actors George MacKay and Ben Schnetzer. Joseph Gilgun from This Is England and Paddy Considine from Submarine also feature. The casting was spot on - British best.

Set in 1984's Thatcher years, a group of gays and lesbians in London decide to start fundraising for the miners. They start the group Gays and Lesbians Support the Miners (GLSM) and eventually find a mining community that will accept their donations, in the Welsh valleys.

A heart-warming comedy-drama with a fab soundtrack! I must admit because of the time frame (I wasn't around in the 80s) a couple of the references did go over my head, but I still loved it. I laughed, I cried - its honestly one of the best films I've seen all year.

P.S. It should totally be adapted to the stage, if this does happen I'd be interested :) - 'God I miss disco!'
4.5/5 stars

Hey peeps, you alright? I've had a roam through my make-up bag and drawer - its lipstick time!


I wanted to get this blog post up before Halloween because theres some great colours in here for dressing up and in general, this time of year. Some of them are too out of my comfort zone for everyday use but if you're looking for a quick way to spice up an outfit or look, going for a bold lip is fab, quick and easy! These are all at affordable prices *student budget*
So lets get down to it!


Rimmel Kate Moss - 01
This is the reddest one of the group. Anyone who knows me will know I love a red lip! Red will go with any outfit 99% of the time.


Rimmel Kate Moss - 107
This is one of my favourite lipsticks of all time. Zoella has said on her blog and YouTube channel that she really loves this colour too. Its so easy to wear and is good for using in the daytime as well as for a night out. I do actually use this one all year round but its my fav.


Topshop - Wine Gum
This is also one of my favourites for both day time and night. Its got a slightly similar hint of deep reddy/purple as the 107 just darker. Its also very similar to Topshop Lip Crayon - Suspect (but they discontinued it).


Rimmel Kate Moss - 04
Deep purple hello. This one is great for Halloween, I wore it last year as a vampire and definitely achieved the look I was going for. I do only get this out around this time of year.


Topshop - Bewitched
The name gives it away. Bewitched is the perfect Halloween colour! I only get it out this time of year like the 04.


You can tell I'm a Kate Moss fan ha... Have you seen the Charlotte Tilbury new collection? (If you haven't, Sprinkle of Glitter has a post on them), its BEAUTIFUL! Going on my Christmas list I think or maybe I'll just treat myself next payday ;)

HAPPY HALLOWEEEEEEN!

Hey peeps, you alright? The seasons have changed its time for a new playlist! I really get back into folky sounds when its colder I don't know why but theres a couple of pop ones in here too, enjoy :) Here's my list of 10 wonders!


Last week I saw Jake Bugg in London at Alexandra Palace and he didn't disappoint! His support acts were Misty Miller (who I'd already seen - love her) and Hudson Taylor who were completely new to me. Finding good new artists is always cool!

Some of my recent favourites have been thrown in too. Gutted I missed out on George Ezra tickets for his tour next year, (its 100% my brothers fault!!) fingers crossed he'll release more dates soon.

My secrets out! You may have noticed One Direction snuck in at the end? Sorry, not sorry, I love them. They're back with Steal My Girl and yes its been on repeat......

Anyway, whack a scarf on, pop some headphones in and give it a listen. Or if you'd prefer to, dance around your room and let loose :)

Hey peeps, you alright? I'm starting my dissertation this week so feeling rather nostalgic.
Back when I was a fresher, (September 2012 seems like FOREVER ago!!) I thought I was all grown up. Leaving home and moving 208 miles from Southend to Cardiff was a huge deal. Looking back now I can see how young and naive I was. Being in my third year at the moment, it seems fitting to share how far I've come and grown as a person. This may not apply to everyone, I was some what of a 'late bloomer'. Hope you enjoy :)

1. Eyebrow pencil/shading is essential and it doesn't have to be Scouse.
2. Make-up brushes are well worth the money, no more of these..


3. You can wear blusher and bronzer at the same time.
4. If you take you your debit card with you on a night out, you will use it.
5. If you take your student card out on a night out, you will get McDonalds on the way home AND a free cheeseburger.
6. Topshop jeans are good.
7. If you have an ultimate cringe moment, your friends will make sure to constantly remind you of that fact.
8. Your favourite heels will eventually break.
9. Not everyone at Uni is a slut.
10. It doesn't matter if you are.
11. The urban myth of the 'weird flatmate' is true.
12. Its not possible to wear a different dress every single time you go out, just to avoid 'I already have a photo in that on Facebook.
13. Embarrassing photos WILL be uploaded/tagged/put on a birthday card. This bad memory ain't going nowhere.

My first experience with £1.50 double vodka and redbull

14. Socks really do get lost in the wash.
15. You'll hear other people 'getting it on'.
16. People will hear you 'getting it on'.
Walls are thin people...
17. Innuendoes are part of everyday life and if you live with boys, prepare to be corrupted.
In your endo..... 
18. Within a week you'll know the lyrics to the Fresh Prince of Bel Air (if you didn't already).
19. The 2 4 1 cocktail deal at Live Lounge is dangerous.
20. Casinos aren't like the ones in James Bond films IRL.
21. iPhone screens break.
22. Everyone has guilty pleasures.
23. Everyone makes mistakes.
24. It is possible to watch the same film every night for a week.


25. You will stay in-touch with friends from school. But a lot of them will be people you'll just bump into at Chameleon when you're home for Easter.
26. When you're looking rough -fresh from the gym- you will ALWAYS bump into people you know. Lots of people.
27. Not everyone sneezes the same way. Its hilarious.
28. Its perfectly acceptable to go to the shop in a onesie.
29. Every hangover day is just eating junk food and watching Netflix.
30. Theres no shame in going lectures in last nights make-up. Its an achievement. Going out last night and making it in for 9am, result!

Hope that was cringe worthy enough haha! I'm a woman now!

Hey peeps, you alright? I'm Millie and this is my blog.

I recently decided to start Hey Mil because, well, I have a minor shopping problem. Not quite to the extent of Confessions of a Shopaholic, but maybe to the extent that a couple of days after my student loan arrives, it would be best if I put my debit card in the freezer... I'm not the only student who buys lots of nice things when they have decent money in their account, am I? Am I?
Well anyway, here is me sharing my life on the internet (not all of it, obviously but you'll soon get the jist) :) So watch out world here I am!


For my first post and what with it being nearly Halloween, I decided to pop into Lush and have a try of the new seasonal bath bombs and bubble bars, eeeek! The Lush store in Cardiff is great, the staff are lovely and know the products, the layout is good too, its just brill! To be honest I don't think I've ever been in there and not ended up buying something. Shopping confession number 1.


Wizard and Sparkly Pumpkin

So today I went in and purchased the Halloween and Bonfire Night themed bars and bombs. I picked up; Wizard - tangerine oil, juniperberry oil and fennel essential oils, made for relaxation. Sparkly Pumpkin - juniperberry oil, lime and grapefruit bubble bar absolutely COVERED with glitter. Northern Lights - a jasmine and ylang ylang bath bomb with star shaped sequins. Sparkler - a rose jam flavoured bomb filled with gold glitter, it reminded me so much of turkish delights at Christmas time, yummmy!


Northern Lights and Sparkler

I used Sparkler tonight mainly because the bottom had broken in the bag :( but it was lovely! I have a glittery shine now, but not so much I feel like a disco ball! Although my housemate just came out the bathroom saying, 'theres a shit load of glitter in the bath!' haha! This is how it looked in the water ->



And thats my first blog post - wheeey, go me :)
