Remember November

Well there is another month down - it's been a funny month in a lot of ways for me but December is a new month and a time for new beginnings.
Throughout November I have been a pretty good girl and I have been really trying to keep my finances in check and I've been trying to use some things up.
This month I finished 16 items

MAC Brush Cleaner
The Body Shop Cocoa Butter Body Butter
Rescue Oil
Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish
The Body Shop Seaweed Day Cream
Ojon Tawaka Ancient Tribal Rejuvenating Hair Cleanser
MOP Glisten Body Wash
Lee Stafford Treatment For Hair That Never Grows Past A Certain Length
MOP Extreme Protein Treatment For Damaged Hair
MOP Extreme Moisture Treatment For Dry Hair
Lush Imperialis Moisturiser
Maybelline Colossal Mascara - Black
Boots Botanics Soothing Eye Make Up Remover
Clinique All About Eyes
Dermalogica Skin Prep Scrub
AVON Pearly Peach Bubble Bath

Again not too much make up but I have a few bits that are hanging on for grim death which will be hopefully be finished soon -it gets so frustrating I think I have a never ending concealer lol The one I am most please with is my MAC brush cleaner - I now have 6empties - back 2 MAC here I come :)

Anyways last month I also returned to my spending diet and I have to Say although I've gone over budget slightly I don't think I have done too badly

Primark 100 Denier Black Tights - £1.96
Beauty UK Palette No 5 - £3.49
Sleek Blusher - Pixie Pink - £3.29
ELF Order - £10.50
Red Magazine - £3.50
ELLE Magazine £3.60
Glamour Magazine - £2
CK Sheer Plumping Lipgloss 205 Enchantment - £5.00
Boots No 7 Perfect Lips Pencil 20 Nude - £1.75
Monthly Total - £35.09

So I've gone over but I have had so much temptation in my way this month what with Christmas shopping and so on it didn't work out too bad never mind its a vast improvement on previous months lol. In normal circumstances I would limit my December spends to make up for my overspend but its the festive season and with socialising etc I might need some extra cash but I'll try and stick to it the best I can despite the start of the sales argh!

GOSH Goodies Revealed

Woo Hoo - As you know I was due to be sent a parcel of GOSH goodies form the lovely people at Superdrug for promoting their Get The Look Competition ;)Well my package came this morning so huge thanks :) As predicted it contained a lot of items I already have so the majority will be going into my Christmas giveaway. The package contained a velvet touch foundation primer (I am currently using one of these) , a Light n Shine Lipglaze in No 2 (I own this too, yes I do step out of my nude comfort zone sometimes), Eye Shadow Collection in 001 Smokey Eyes (pics of mine are on my blog somewhere ) some Crystal Eyelashes (I'm not the biggest falsie wear I have to admit), a Velvet Touch Eyeliner Pencil in Black Ink (I love these pencils) and a Show Me Volume Mascara.
A very generous package I am sure you will agree but as you can see I own or won't use the majority of the bits. The only item I am planning on keeping is the mascara which I will review for you because as you know I am a mascara junkie and love trying new ones! So I will be announcing my Christmas giveaway with more goodies and an additional GOSH item to replace the mascara later this afternoon. Thanks to GOSH, Superdrug and You Guys xx

New You Tube Video - Meet Tallulah

The Surprise Revealed

A New Kitten!
We had been talking about getting another cat for a while and my mum decided it was just the boost I needed. My mum went to collect from her RSPCA foster parents this morning - she is a 9 week old, black and white longhair and her name is Tallulah. We were told last night that she was boy so we had spent last night choosing boys names so when my mum went to went to get her she got a bit of a shock lol so Tallulah it is. She seems very timid and nervous but she has plenty of time to settle in. Jasper doesn't seem that bothered by her he had a sniff whilst she hissed at him, whilst Jake just seems terrified of her lol I predict the fur will be flying for a while lol never mind she is a treasured addition to our home.I will get some more pics and maybe a video when she calms down a little bit x

Something Exciting Coming Soon !!!

I mentioned in a previous post that something good was potentially happening this weekend well its happening tomorrow -I have had such a rough time health wise lately that my mum thought I needed cheering up - check back tomorrow to see what my good news is :)

Dishonest Me? No Way!

I have just received a comment on my blog which I have chosen not to publish as you will soon see why. As you may have seen I have recently did a post to promote a contest held by Superdrug. The PR company that asked various bloggers to promote the contest promised to send us a GOSH goodie bag of the new Christmas collection if we promoted the contest. Seeing as the subject matter of the contest was and is to create a make up look for the festive season I agreed to promote it on my blog. After all I am sure many of would love the opportunity to win great prizes and do what you do best and create some fab looks. However because I didn't mention the goodie bag that I am being sent I am now being labelled as being dishonest and of fooling my readers! The thing is I already own some of the GOSH Christmas collection ( the smokey eye palette) anyways so I was planning on giving some away in a Christmas giveaway. As you know I always let you know when I have been sent something this case was to be no different. I am not going to get into a slanging match with the person concerned as I respect her stance but please don't questions my honesty. I have been bloggin for over three years now and I have never been accused of anything like this before. I f you think I am dishonest tell me and I will walk away now x

One Month To Go

Argh I can't believe that it will Christmas Day a month today ! I have done quite a bit of shopping so far so I am not too worried but I still have my cards to make which usually takes me a few days argh!
I did manage to pick up this yesterday how cute!

It's not that Christmassy which is more often than not my biggest failing with advent calendars but its cute. My mum has bagged herself a dairy milk one which I have to say is much more festive than mine with Santa and his elves, even the cats have one again this year which I have to say is way more festive than mine, but ho hum (or should I say ho ho ho lol)

Anyways in the same shop which we got our advent calendars they also sell a whole load of ex catalogue and chain store clothing - my mum very kindly bought me this top / tunic for the festive season - Sorry for the bad pic but it's a gorgeous electric blue colour with gunmetal sequins and seed beads :) very pretty I am thinking of wearing it for Christmas lunch with my jeggings which give plenty of room for expansion but we'll see I have a few family and friend things to do over Christmas so I need to sort out a few outfits :)

Talking of Christmas the lovely Sarah at I Heart Cosmetics is hosting a super generous Christmas giveaway so don't forget to check her out x

I have a few things planned for the rest of the week including a visit to the Vampires (the nurse for bloods:(), and the hairdressers on Friday -bye bye roots !! and potentially something exciting over the weekend but I'll try and get a few posts in xxx
