As I am sat here taking a lot of blog photos of the products sent over by PR companies and brands (which I am so thankful), and bits that I have bought myself, I was struck by this overwhelming sensation to write out some thoughts that I have been having for a while about the judgements passed on those who love makeup and own a lot of it.

This week just gone flew by with a mix of packing, blogging, studying and binging on reality show Fashion Bloggers (very good, highly recommend). My Instagram was a busy one, and I hit 1000 followers which I was beyond excited about, so thank you to anyone who follows me! Excitement aside, here is your weekly update of what I posted on CM this week.

Isn't it funny just how scary a single number can seem? I remember turning 18 and thinking, wow I am getting really old. At that point I was in my final year at school and was about to venture to university the following year. Then it seemed like a huge change; new experiences, leaving the security of school, my family and my close group of friends, trading it in for the halls, meeting lots of new people and learning what real study (and real drinking...) would be like. Now it's seven years later and here I am turning 25. Twenty-five. I mean, that sounds quite old right?

Sadly this is going to be the last Instagram Round Up I do on here for a while, but don't get too upset because on Sunday I will be including my Insta-snaps from the week in the new and improved Weekly Collective starting next Sunday. Alternatively if you want to get my near daily Instagrams, you can find me here @cassandramyee.

January kicked off as quite an exciting month, mostly down to the fact that I got an iPhone 6, and it was love at first sight! Because of that my Instas have improved a lot in the overall photo quality compared to my previous phone (Samsung Galaxy S3; still a great phone, don't get me wrong!), and I love the quality of the camera and the phone in general! So here are my Instagram's from January...

It's the end of December, and the end of 2015, so what better time to do my round up of Instagram posts from the past month.

I'm going to keep this introduction brief; I took a lot of photos this month. My Insta was a hashtag busy one, purely due to the fact that I went to the States for a week and was very snap happy because it was all too exciting for me!

It's two days out from the end of August so it is time to show you all of my Instagram photos from the month. As always I was snap happy sharing bits and pieces of what I got up to in August.
