QVC and Barratts Haul and A Rant

Hiya sorry I haven't been round for a few days but I have had a bit of a crap few days. First off all my laptop started to smell of burning plastic, so its is going back to Samsung for investigation :( This may mean that I might not be around much until till I get it back - my desktop is soooo slow. Secondly I became the subject of a bit of hatred on my You Tube channel -thankfully I had my comments on approval so none of the stuff went on my channel but they decided to rate all my videos at 1 star to make up for that. I have to say I was really upset I had anticipated a bit of rubbish due to my facial palsy I have had that all my life but quite frankly I was really upset that adults could say such hurtful things - we aren't all supermodels. It has really made me think twice about doing any more videos - I'd just like to take this opportunity to thank some of the lovely people who left such lovely kind message on twitter, etc and really helped lift me spirits - will I do any more videos I'm not sure yet - I need to build my confidence back up again :(x

Anyways to happier things - I have a few hauls to show you x I received a few orders from QVC this week - As you probably know I love QVC yes a lot of it is tacky but you can get some really good bargains if you look.

First of all I got the YBF Duo of Steadfast Shadow Liners in Shimmering Violet and Emerald Brown which also came with a little retractable shadow / liner brush. These are fab really pigmented and they really seem to last - water alone will not take them off and they are a lot cheaper than the Bobbi Brown and Smashbox alternatives - I think I paid about £15 for the two 5.1g posts

I don't buy many clothes from QVC I tend to think they are geared toward ahem the older generation but I do love this ruffly , tiered top - the pic certainly doesn't do it justice
morrow with ano

I also mentioned about my gold evening bag quest - I managed to pick up this beauty from Barratts - its the perfect colour and I love the bow detail

  3. Don't let anyone ever knock your confidence hunny, be proud of the person you are. You are a lovely person. I watched some of your youtube videos and you are such a genuinly nice woman. Im not a supermodel either, but I'd rather be the person I am, and have the personality and nature that I do, than be like them people that left you the nasty comments. Thats just pure evil and it makes me wonder what kind of person they are to do something so nasty and hurtfull to another person. Keep your chin up darlin and you get back to making them videos!!! Dont let a few mindless people get you down, remember... for them few people out there that are naty and hurtfull, theres a hundered more people that apreciate what you do and who you are and love to watch your videos.

    Chin up gorgeous..

    Jo.. X

  5. Don't let them bring you down! Get your confidence back, cos we're all going to miss you on youtube!

    Anyone spreading hatred behind a screen is just a very sick, unconfident, and unhappy person. And whoever spreads hatred for a facial palsy is just a mental case!

    And who cares if you're not a model? None of us is...and I guess we're all really ok with that! Life is about acceptance of all of our imperfections, cos those imperfections are what tie us together and make us love each other.

    A very wise man once said that "perfection is insipid in this naughty world of ours". That was Byron, and I think he was much smarter and educated than an adult who thinks hating on people under a screen name, behind a computer screen is the only way to boost their confidence, because their life is very very miserable!

    Just laugh at that and think that when people start to hate, they're envious and that means you're doing great!

  6. Please don't let some puerile idiot put you off hon!

    Lauren Luke's done so well because people want to see makeup done on normal people, in real life. Not on models, in studios, with heaps of lighting!

    Hope you feel better and get back to them soon. In the mean time, I love your purple Wallis dress and the gold accessories. You're going to look fab on your hols x

  9. people like that probably don't like something about themselves and have to say something bad about someone else. if they didn't like it - why even watch it? they are the ones who are not so smart. don't worry about it. i think you should still make videos and ignore those types of comments b/c it's not constructive and only from their view point...which is NOT helpful. as sweetjojo said, be proud of who you are. don't let no one tell you different.

  10. I'm sorry to hear that. People like that have nothing better to do then to spread their hate. Try not to pay any attention to them and keep doing your thing. Remember that no one can make you feel inferior without your permission!

    Those eye liners look fab. That brown one looks so amazing.

  12. Oh Lou, i can't believe people are so nasty. If thats all they have to do with their time then they must have very sad lives. Hope you're feeling a bit better today. Chin up x

  13. Sorry to hear that some people have been so immature and insensitive. I'm certain theres many many people who would disagree with their comments. Stay strong & hope you feel better soon x

  14. I'm sorry you received such hurtful comments Lou, I really can't understand people like that who take the time to leave horrible comments on blogs/YT vids :( If they don't have anything nice to say they shouldn't say anything at all but they're obviously just very shallow, insecure people who have nothing better to do than make someone else feel bad about themselves. Easier said than done I know but try to ignore them as by not making any more videos you are letting them win and they shouldn't be allowed to get away with it. Hope you start to feel a bit more confident soon. Just remember there are far more people leaving positive comments than negative xxx
