GlossyBox

So i got my first ever GlossyBox last week :)
I have always wanted to try one because i love trying new products etc. so thought id suscribe for 3 months for myself for christmas :) as i wont be able to treat myself to much else with all the present buying going on! haha

this was what was in my glossybox :)
Yves Rocher - Hydra Vegetal Instant Anti-Wrinkle moisturizer
The Organic Pharmacy Enzyme Peel Mask
Sally Hanson Complete Salon Manicure in Calypso Blue
Skinetica Anti-Blemish
Anatomicals Don't clean it woman, scrub it body scrub

the Yves Rocher anti-wrinkle moisturizer has come in handy since im starting to notice small wrinkles around my eyes :( ever since i started to use the sun beds, ive stopped using them now.  Im living by the rule Embrace the pale! :) i always like being pale in winter anyway. Ive only used this a few times and i cant say ive noticed much but it definately feels nice :)

Havent tried the face peel mask yet... 

Put the nail varnish on todat, must admit i dont normally go for bright shiny blue's but im impressed with this nail varnish! it dries quickly, covers in two coats and claims to be a 5 step manicure in one : base coat strengthener, growth treatment, colour & top coat! so no wasting extra time with base coats and top coats and waiting ages for each to dry etc! Brilliant :) I will see how long it holds out, my nail varnish normally chips within a day haha. im not very careful with my hands!
I will have to take it off tomorrow night for work anyways.
I have actually quite grown to the colour, it looks nice and shiny and is quite fitting for november and the month of fireworks i think.


Ive been using the skinetica for a few days due to having a few of the dreaded 'period' spots left over from last week, and i must admit they have gotten fainter but not really sure if its due to this or just due to a few days passing. il keep using it and decide wether to buy some more. Its only 6.99 a bottle so might do if it does the trick.

Havent used the body scrub yet but it smells amazing!! i love pink grapefruit <3
and i quite like the witty name :)

been feeling a little down again recently, but have decided to live by this qoute

My brother is doing Movember this year, i love Movember!!! i absolutely LOVE mustaches.


My granda ted always had a mustache
He was one of the best men in the world.
<3
When im old i want my husband to have a mustache and a flat cap. please.

October :)

Pinch and a punch for the first of the month!
October is over
cant believe how fast the months are passing!
warning, lots of pictures in this blog :)

What have i been upto?
well i went to london early in the month, I am in love with Harrods and all the beautiful things inside that i couldn't afford. and the fact that the tesco express there sells krispy kreme doughnuts meaning that i got staff discount on them! haha :D
 qiute pleased with this picture! :)

My mam found a tomato on our tomato plant that is shaped like a duck! :)
she is convinced it could win some form of tomato contest.
i am amazed by it its one of life's little wonders.

 This is a picture of it when it was green and the beak started to go orange! haha :D
its all red now :)

Went out early in the month with my friend laura round shields, had a good night dancing like tards to gangnam style etc



 


 

went out for owens birthday to powerhouse which was a really good night, i always have a great night when i go to powerhouse! :)

 Marshall me courtney and owen
 <3
 Aww David and marshall look geet cute here!
 haha
 Dont know what im doing here!
 Marshall and his tongue? lol
 Owen and his pink drink :P
I went to see paranorman, madagascar 3 taken 2 and funsize at the cinema :) Paranorman was pretty good. and madagascar 3 i had been waiting for for quite a while because i LOVE the other two, it was really good :) thoroughly enjoyed being reunited with melman and co on another adventure. Im embarassed to say ive never seen taken, but was very impressed with taken 2 so shall definately get myself together and watch it sometime in the near future! who doesn't love a film with Liam neeson in! Funsize was alright too,typical teenage comedy thing set at halloween, funnier than i thought it was gunna be :).

 People who know me will know that i never buy CD's i just use spotify to listen to music. However i did buy this off Play.com for 6.99.
It is flipping beautiful.
Im obsessed with it.
i like every single song. Its hard to choose a favourite but i do flipping love 'I Almost Do'
along with 'The Last Time' It has frigging Gary Lightbody in it! and i LOVE snow patrol <3 and its so beautiful!!!
  'All Too Well' 'RED' and 'Stay stay Stay'
I love them all!!!!!
i can relate to pretty much every song on the album. they all bring memories from times when ive felt exactly like that!


i haven't really done much else because for a week and a half of october i've been really ill :( was bed ridden and couldn't eat or anything. was horrible. still gaining my strength back now, if i go out and wander around for too long i get all light headed and woosy and tired.  I forgot how boring being ill is! total waste of nearly two weeks of my life! :(. i did however get to watch a few films when i wasnt sleeping or rushing to the loo! including tangled, 101 dalmations, lady and the tramp, wrath of the titans and Some kind of wonderful. <3. Back to work tomorrow though.

Did manage to get my Halloween assessment done at college though, Used my friend Laura as my model :P. Went in while i was ill thinking i was getting a bit better and nearly passed out while doing this so its not really the best standard it could have been but meh. i had to rush it and leaved and come home and go back to bed!



Its so odd seeing laura looking that gothic! even when i went through my full on goth phase she was going through a nu monkey phase and we were still best friends haha.
looks so odd :P


Went to the pub last night for halloween, didn't really put any effort into dressing up as i hadn't been expecting to go out, so just ended up shoving some cat ears and a tail on with normal clothes and did my make up a little more gothic than normal. Was nice to see people after being ill and feeling like i hadn't in so long. took a walk along to trocs afterwards just to perve on people's outfits, seen someone dressed as Bane standing outside and instantly knew id seen the best outfit of the night! it was amazing, i wish i could have slyly taken a photograph! didn't bother going in to trocs though, went to get a kebab wrap (yes the girl who hates kebab and thinks its disgusting now likes kebab wraps) with garlic sauce and went home to bed :)


Also yesterday i made some Halloween Cupcakes!
Somebody once said that i NEVER make a good old chocolate cupcake, so i did and they are scrumptious. wish i could give him one!
Of course i stuck to halloween as my theme and made green butter icing and stuck haribo halloween sweets on top hehe :)
I was prancing about to the RED album as i made them haha :)


and that brings us to today! sitting in my pjs in bed typing this, going to get up now and try do something with my day off since its half term so no college! Considering krispy kreme doughnuts and christmas shopping... hmmm.

Love x
