Beauty Crush | October Wishlist by nancycamp1 featuring Kiehl's

So pay-day is just round the corner and I've put together this little skincare wishlist. Now, I love a good wishlist but this month I have put together an ‘affordable’ wishlist for the upcoming month – this is due to my recent (and crazy) desire to save money.

I’ve wanted the Pixi Glow Tonic (£18) for a while after reading some amazing reviews. I think this product would fit nicely into my updated skincare routine as I am missing a toner. As it gently exfoliates and tightens pores – I think this would be a great final step before bed.

Next is the Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream (£24) this has featured on many blogs/vlogs as a Holy Grail product. As some of you may know, I suffer from really dry skin so finding out about a new moisturiser with some great reviews is really exciting.

Finally, is the Nip + Fab Exfoliate Glycolic Fix Night Pads (£8.45) my sister introduced me to these and they have been on my wishlist ever since. Again, this is another great skincare step before bed. I’m really excited to try these – purely because of their amazing smell. 

Life | Top 10 Interviewing Tips

Interviews can be a horrible experience. You stay up all night preparing, putting together the perfect ‘hire me’ outfit together, panic about oversleeping, being late or getting lost, only to arrive and pull a total mind blank. You’re lost for words and before you know it that position you've worked so hard for has grown legs and ran for the door.

However, a certain degree of nerves is a good thing, as it can keep you focused and passionate but the most important tip is turning these nerves into positives and use them to your advantage.

Following these tips should put you at ease, allow you to speak with confidence and clinch that job you've always wanted.

Tip one: It’s all in the outfit
When putting together your perfect ‘hire me’ outfit make sure it’s appropriate for the day ahead. The night before practice walking, standing in your shoes and sitting down in your outfit. There’s not a worse feeling than the morning of the interview finding an alternative for your extremely tight skirt! Feeling comfortable and presentable is a great start to any interview.

Tip two: Leave plenty of time
If you think you know the way, 99 per cent of the time you don’t! You’ll panic, think it looks different from before and arrive in a flustered state. Leave an added 30 minutes onto your journey for time to find parking or get through the morning traffic. If you arrive early you can always take another look at your notes before you go in.

Tip three: Be bright
When you first meet your interviewer, work through the initial ‘OMG’ moments by making eye contact, smiling and commenting on the surroundings or weather. It’s all about ‘faking’ that confidence and making them believe it.

Tip four: Give a firm handshake
A good grip can send a great first impression to the interviewer signalling that you’re interested and positive about the situation ahead. Try and channel your nerves into your handshake and it’ll no doubt work in your favour!

Tip five: Always ask for a refreshment
Now, this may sound strange but if you are offered either a glass of water or tea or coffee, always accept. Throughout your interview you might need a few seconds to pull together a perfect answer, taking a sip of water can allow you to this and calm your thoughts. Also, your mouth might dry up and this is a great way to alleviate this problem!

Tip six: RELAX!
Before the interview begins, it’s important to remember the most obvious tip but one that is often forgotten. Loosen up! Most of the hard work is over. You’re not late, you’ve made your initial introductions and no one knows more about you than YOU! Everybody gets nervous and it’s perfectly OK.

Tip seven: It’s OK to pause
In an interview situation, pausing to think or gather your scattered thoughts can seem as if an hour has passed since you last spoke. Do not worry about this. Pausing is good, it can give a sense of confidence and it’s definitely not the end of the world.

Tip eight: Engage with the interviewer
Towards the end of the interview, you can mentally start reviewing how it went, often causing you to loose concentration. Don’t get caught up on the past, focus on the present. Listen intensely, respond intelligently, nod along and continue to make eye contact.

Tip nine: Ask great questions
If you’re asked ‘do you have any questions?’ always reply, yes. Questioning the interviewer is a golden rule and makes the interviewer think you’re keen about the role and that you’ve done your research. This also takes the pressure off of you for a few moments while you calm yourself and see whether this is the perfect place for you. Ask intelligent and well-researched questions that will set you apart from other candidates.

Tip ten: Make them remember you
When the interview comes to an end and you’ve asked your amazing questions don’t sit back and relax just yet! When you’re walked out, make eye contact, commenting on how the interview went or the office environment. When you shake hands end on something that is going to make you memorable.

Review | Louis Vuitton Series 3 Exhibition

It's the exhibition that everyone is talking about. From 21 September an old office space was transformed into the Louis Vuitton Series 3 Exhibition and yesterday my friend and I took a trip to the Strand neighbouring Somerset House, to have a look. 

The FREE exhibition is open to the public and gives us a glimpse into the world, Nicholas Ghesquiere, the Creative Director of the brand. The exhibition documented his whole creative process from his inspirations to the final product being hand made by Parisian Artisans. As well as impressive selfie lighting, mirrored walls, walk-in wardrobes and catwalk projections the exhibition was the perfect fashion evening. 

If you're in London and you have a night spare you must check it out.
