Avon Haul

Hey Everyone . How are you all well i hope and if not have a hug (:

Now i know i love a good haul on my YouTube channel (i mean who doesn't) but i didn't buy enough to warrant haul it would of been 30 seconds long so look forward to more hauls on my blog and my YouTube channel (:

I will say im not a fan of these bags they remind me off the bags sweet and sour come in and if you have read my new years resloutions post then you know why they kind of make me want to vomit.

I'll get the most boring item out off the way - I say boring as its not makeup or perfume. This is a lavender and chamomile room spray. It was on offer at £0.99 and wanted to give it ago im having so much trouble falling asleep these days like take tonight its 1:04 am as im writing this and im wide awake. So i bought it to spray around my room and on my pillows and it does work ok so not right away but it isn't a sleep aid. If your struggling to get to sleep but dont want to fork out on the lavender pillow spray then get this.

This photo should of been up at the top with the Avon bag but when i was importing the photos to edit and what not i saw that the Foundation samples came out blurry and to be completely honest i dont want to get out off bed and go downstairs set my lighting up and background and take some more photos i know bad blogger but come on it is 1:10 am. Sorry im such a rambler. The three sample shades were in a offer 3 or £1.00 which i snapped up as last year i tried so many foundations and ended up having to give them away or bin them as in the UK you cant return foundation which does annoy me The shades either suited me in the store then when i got them home they were to dark or to pale or didn't cover my roseca up or just turned my forehead completely orange which is great if i was going for the ommpa lumpa look or a cheesy wotsit. I picked the three lightest shades which are light pink Ivory and Shell. I havnt been able to try them yet but il probally do a blogpost and feature them in a montly faves so stay tuned for that.

You know how Avon sometimes have the rub here pages (it sounds rude but its not) this one and the other one i bought were on that page and i fell in love with both this one is Christian Lacroix (never heard of him) Bijou its a spray not a rollerball which is refreshing to be honest i have way to many perfumes and didnt need two more but i loved the smell and that they are purse size and would fit in most bags. Im absoulty rubbish at smells so for both i will just copy what it says on the Avon website. *taken from Avon*
Sparkling Italian mandarin and opulent vanilla orchidwith spiced star anise essence

This is the one i fell in love with first and so did my mum so we ended up with the same spray. Its called Mesmerize Black doesnt have a designer just says avon and as the above im copying the description from avon *taken from Avon* A magically hypnotic cocktail of mandarin and delicious red fruits, rich jasmine, sensual sandalwood and seductive tonka beans 

So thats my little Avon haul i love doing hauls on my blog most of the time i'l do them on my YouTube but im going to start incorperating them on here as well (:

Blogmas day 19- What im grateful for this year

In December i think its very easy to get get wrapped up in christmas and as iv said before i hate how its become a competition between everyone if its not how many presents you get its competing with your neighbors for the best lights on the front of your house and so on. I think we forget what we are grateful for. 

Here are mine ...

1. I have a roof over my head
2. I have food in the house 
3. I have a family who love me 
4. I dont have many friends but the ones i do i couldn't ask for better 
5. I wake up every morning
6. I have my health 
7. I have my pets 
8. I have money - not a lot but it still enables me to buy what i need
9. A bed to sleep in
10. Being Safe 


You could be having the worse day ever but please remember that if you have all off these on the list or only a few someone who doesn't have any would be grateful for just one.

Blogmas day 14 - Why i wont order from TAM beauty again

On black Friday i placed a order with Makeup Revolution aka Tam Beauty as its now called the delivery was a little slow but that can be expected as they would of had tones of orders to complete. When i received my 1 of 2 order i got a free gift as a apology for how late my order was which was really nice off them and totally unexpected. see photo below. 

Fast Forward about 2 weeks and i still haven't received my second parcel from them and no reason as to why.

I have contacted them on Facebook twitter and sent 3 emails and every time i get ignored which is bad customer service. Im only waiting on a foundation and lip-balm but thats not the point i could be waiting on christmas presents im just glad they arrived with the first parcel. 

What makes matters worse is when i check my order it says complete and they have only given me one tracking number which was to the parcel thats already been delivered. 

It has really put me off ordering from the website again which sucks as i love makeup revolution products it has to be my favorite brand of makeup that isn't high end. I would not recommend their website at all and there customer service stinks !! I would like my parcel but its looking very unlikely so now i have to go out and hope that superdrug have the foundation i ordered in my shade which normally they dont  happen to have hence why i ordered from the website. 

If you take anything from this post then be very careful when you order and if something does not turn up then you will not get a response from them !! im shocked at there customer service as i keep saying.

Sorry for the rant

Blogmas day 13- giving gift cards is it lazy ?

I received my first christmas present on Sunday and i know its bad but i opened it (i already knew what it was and wanted to spend it).

As you may have guessed it was a gift card. It was a one for all card like the one above but mine had a polar bear on.. These type of gift cards are the ones i like the most as your not limited to one store. I think giving gift cards if you dont know the person well is a good idea as no one wants to be stuck with something they didn't ask for or like and there is  always that horror if you do re-gift that you may forget who gave it you the first place and it ends up back to the original person. 

I used mine to purchase some things on boots (: 

I do think if you know the person really well then a gift card is a lazy present unless they have specifically asked for one.

Im one of the few that really likes gift cards as if people just give me money im like yeah i know excatly what im going to spend that on and then one day i forget my lunch for work and it ends up going on a meal deal and some very naughty dairy free treats and not the mascara that i really wanted. 

At the end of the day it is personal choice i really like them but obviously wouldn't want gift cards for every present as you'd know what you'd be getting and that would be no fun. 

What does everyone else think let me know

Pumpkin Drawing/carving

Hey everyone (:

So i thought this post was apt seeing as its almost Halloween. As a rule i dont do anything for Halloween dont get me wrong i will open the door for about a hour for the trick or treaters but i dont decorate the house or normally buy pumpkins but this year is different. My brother wanted to have a go at carving a pumpkin now this may shock a few people but we have never carved a pumpkin or had pumpkins in the house no idea why just happened that way lol. My brother carved his but wont let me put it in my blog for some reason but seeing as im so clumsy i thought it was wise not to try carving and inevitably cutting myself so i sketched a design out on my pumpkin and when i say sketched i mean i typed in to google no carve pumpkin designs and picked the easiest one i could find as im awful at art but i think it turned out ok il insert some pictures now and you can see for yourselves (: 

I hope you all have a happy Halloween (:

The best find in B+M

B+M is a cheap shop in the UK and its very hit and miss. Sometimes you can find loads of stuff and come out £50 lighter or you come out with just a drink - That maybe just the B+M where i live or it might be the same where you live let me know in the comments (:

If you go in to B+M i think you learn to not get your hopes up that it will be a successful shopping trip. This time it was a good shopping trip i wont say successful due to the fact i only came out with a few things but this is the best find ever can you tell what it is ?

                                                                                                                                                                     It looks like it comes from bath and body works doesn't it ?? yet unfortunately we don't have even one shop over here I'm sure that must be a crime :o .

This candle smells like cinnamon grahams its amazing and i cant get over how similar it looks to bath and body works candles and it was a fraction of the price.

It was only £2.99 which I'm sure we can agree is a lot better then $22 i think they are which equates to roughly £16 here i think.

If you get the chance i strongly advise going to check them out if you can find them (:

A Fresh Start

I know you'll all be fed up with me making new blogs up but this time it was needed i went through and checked where people were finding my blog from and found that most of the traffic sources were from a premium hook up site which is not OK with me i don't know how or why my blog is anywhere near that site. 

Don't get me wrong I'm not a prude but i don't want my blog to get a reputation of being associated with that site so i have made a new blog - this should be my final one *touches Wood* sorry for the confusion and messing around.

If your a loyal Reader then you may be confused as to where all my posts have gone and if your a new reader welcome (: 

Sit down with a drink and a snack and let me answer your question. 

This is the blog that started it all my love for blogging.
I started this way before my youtube channel and i was getting a good response from it my page views were going up but weirdly no comments.
Then for a while life got busy and i neglected my blog and found it hard to get back in to blogging and when i did put a post up the page-views were not as good as they used to be and maybe that's because everyone is now blogging and when i first started their was just a handful of us or maybe it was because i had left it so long and my content wasn't as good anymore, 
i will never know. I toyed about with a new blog for a while on word press but i didn't like it and i wasn't getting a good response on their. 
So i played about running both blogs for a while posting the same content and this is the blog that was getting the most views so i decided to delete my word press account and come back to this one but instead of picking up where we left off i decided to do a complete 180 on my blog and start it again as if its a brand new blog but with my loyal readers that have stuck by me while i figure everything out thank you so much and to the new visitors to my blog i hope you keep coming back. 

So that's my story i hope you enjoyed and want to come back for more reading pleasure and comment this time i love interacting with everyone on my youtube channel can we do that on here as well please (: I still haven't got my own template for my blog but i will have soon Also please let me know whether the bold is ok or not.
