Study Tips: How to Revise

I've been meaning to write this post for a while now so I realise it's a little late since exams have already started (My first was on the 11th!) but I thought I'd write it nonetheless since I had the photos haha!

1. Use Colour- I'm a very visual person so diagrams and colours really help me learn. Use colours to highlight key words and phrases and use coloured pens to write headers and subheaders,  and use page markers to help you quickly find key passages in books and textbooks.
2. Set Targets and Time Limits- Try to revise for 30-45 minutes and have 15 minute breaks, but more importantly set targets for these periods such as 'Finish writing notes on Kinematics chapter' or 'Do one Core 1 maths paper'
3. Listen to classical music- I really recommend Spotify's focus section of playlists particularly the intense studying playlist, plus Vitamin String Quartet or soundtracks from your favourite shows (I enjoy The Good Wife's playlist) for music to listen to whilst struggling studying. It helps you concentrate as you don't get involved in the lyrics. 
4. Use Mind Maps- Use mind maps to link all your points together, this is particularly helpful in subjects like chemistry or other sciences where its important to see points in the wider context.
5. Use Post it notes-Write definitions on post it notes and stick them on your mirror so you can read them every morning whilst you do your makeup, but remember to update them as often as you can, and to test yourself on  old ones.

I hope you find these tips useful in the run up to your exams, I have my third one today (Further Maths!) so wish me luck...

MAC Wishlist: Help me pick?

If any of you read my birthday post you'll know that for my birthday, my friends gave me the money to buy a MAC lipstick. Since then I have had a bit of a think and decided that I'm gonna use it to buy the colour I want for Prom! The only problem I'm having is that I can't decide (obviously) what colour I want! That is where you guys come in. I want you to help me pick my first MAC lipstick :)

So first off here's all the information I think you need to know...

The shop call my dress a taupe colour but I would call it more a beige-y cream type colour, sorta like this-

And for my eye makeup I'm aiming for something like the first picture but I like the other two a lot as well-

So now that you have the whole picture, here's the shades I'm looking at. These pictures are the official MAC ones but if you google swatches of them some actually look quite different so you might want to do that before you comment?

I think at the moment I'm liking Kinda Sexy, Fleur D' Coral and Honey Love a lot, but pretty please help me out and leave a comment, I'm really stuck and would love some advice...
