So I had a bit of a mad one…

You ever get you pay check and realise you’ve been looking at pretty and nice things for a long time… and somehow you just buy them all?

Yeah I pretty much bought my weight in eyelashes…
This update would have come sooner, but for one I was waiting for all the stuff to arrive and two my phone got stolen from work. So I had no chance to post the pictures of the thing I have purchased thus far~

But anyway better late than never.

So yes! I did get my skin care as planned!
Most of it is from superdrugs and or eBay~
But here is a picture and a small list of what I have;

Superdrug Vitamin E Facial Scrub
Superdrug Mud Mask Invigorating Raspberry
Garnier Clean & Invigorating Toner
Garnier Clean & Soft Complete Cleansing Milk

I also got hold of a bag sized BB cream - SKIN79 ABSOLUTE TOTAL BB Cream



So aside from a few choice missing items, I pretty much have secured my skin routine, I moisturise every morning, before putting on my GOSH Primer and then a touch of my bb cream. After that it’s the usual foundation, concealer, and powder combination.

Once the day is done, it all comes off, with make up wipes, eye remove, cleanser, facial wash, toner, ampoule and moisturiser. Then I do my mud mask one a week and a nose strip when I see little bumps on my nose when I brush my powder on.

All and all, I am not having any bad effects with the combination of products. I sometimes get this hard comodome blemishes on my cheek bone, and they cant be squeezed or really go away, but the suddenly disappear and reappear as they feel.
But recently with this routine, it’s been making these spots have heads, so I can steam and extract them. So I guess that’s a good thing since they are gone now.

So on to my other purchases, like I said I bought my weight in eyelashes. Now allot of people swear by brands. Since I am poor and have been for a while. I am quite content in buying cheaper clothing and products. Because if you know what you are looking for you find that most brand names and store names are made from the exact same thing.

 So I didn’t get named eyelashes or under lashes. I went for quantity/quality. And was amazed to find out that the quality I bought was fantastic! So my lashes are from Hong Kong and I have to use an eyelash curler, to make my eyes pop, but overall it’s been pretty good~ my under lashes were from a UK seller. 5 for £4 so it really was a bargain!

On to the things I didn’t say I would buy…

So there is a 20 peace goat hair makeup brush set…. Yes they are pink; no I didn’t really need them right now. But the brushes where very good quality and very soft that I couldn’t resist. My brushes which I have had since I did my beauty therapy courses where starting to get a bit dog eared. Not to mention most where starting to fall off their sticks.











Then there were the 88 nude warm palettes. Now I love sleek, recently they have just had an explosion of new pallets and at £6 a pop I really couldn’t just go mad like normal. But I am sure everyone is familiar with tamanala, well I ordered both my brushes from them and this palette.

It took a bit of time, but they arrived in one piece so I couldn’t complain. But then I opened it and it turned out it wasn’t my warn nude palette. It was bright and colourful and well, nice but I wanted natural shades like my sleek sunset palette!
But I contacted them and they apologised, sent me another nude warm and let me keep the mistake as a gift! Who could complain with that! So although I didn’t get my palette I got a freebie and my palette is on my way.

Ahhh wigs… I love hairpieces of all types. By hair while not afro, is naturally curly, in ringlets. It takes me 4 hours to wash, dry and straighten it. And then any moisture or wind and it usually messes 4 hours of work. So usually I just straighten it once and then let it do what it wants. Making up for the loss of tameable locks with a hair piece. So I got a few Japanese wigs~ which you can see in my newest gallery photos.

Then its a few bits and bobs, like perfume (harajuku lovers – love) some gel eyeliners oh and I got the bed canopy for my room!

So yes it’s been an eventful month, I am certainly looking forward to next payday~
I think I am going to blow it on clothes and shoes this time. I am certainly in need of some new shoes and clothes!
But i do have my eye on some more eyelashes….. And maybe some circle lenses~
I shouldn’t plan, as you can see from the last one I did sooooo badly

Have a great week guys
