Waste Not Want Not

Aloha Bloggerinos,

As I may have mentioned on my youtube CHANNEL (woop), I am trying to find ways to make the most of my lovely things and save some pennies. I'm actually trying to use up some of my products before I buy new varieties! Wowzas!

So, when I realised that trying to use my Boots No.7 Skin Illuminator was about as fruitless as explaining quantum physics to the cat, I decided to call it a day. I would squeeze a bit and nothing, squeeze a bit harder and still nothing, squeeze really quite hard and still nothing. In anger I would then squeeze really bloody hard and voila- great big highlighter mess! Gargh!!

I was going to through it away but couldn't bring myself to being as there was clearly lots left and it cost me over £10 (£3 is my wastage threshold, so a tenner is a no-no!) I decided to embark on a salvage mission. I found a clean pot, which was an old Lush pot that I was saving as part of their "bring back 5 and get a free face mask" scheme, snipped the top of the tube and satisfyingly watched it all ooze into it's new home.

It was a sad day for the pretty packaging and little brush it came with but I have a looottt of highlighter there- golden summer glimmer, here I come!!

Does anyone else depot their products to make the most of them? :)

Toodlepip!

Blogger Events

Aloha Bloggerinos,

Ok dearest Bloggerinos, I need to pick your brains (ew gross). Now, I have been reading all your beauty blogs (and other blogs too, I like the crafty ones tres much!), and I have noticed that some of you have been going to Beauty Blogger Events. Firstly, I am uber envious because they look amazing!

What I am wanting to know, is how to do you get invited to such a thing. I have asked a few times but it is all a bit mysterious. I can understand that these bloggers that go have worked tres hard to get so many followers and such like, but if anybody asked me to assist them with a query, I would defo answer, surely beauty blogs are all about sharing tips and advice anyway?

Does it work on hits and followers? Or maybe I have to get in touch with those companies? Oorrrrrrr is there some secret way of doing it that I don't know about?

So, if any of you could point me in the right direction, I would be eternally grateful and will send you hearts and good wishes forever :)

Thank you Bloggerinos!

Toodlepip!

Accesorize Accessories

Aloha Bloggerinos,

Just a quick post to show you the 2 gorgeous necklaces my superduper Fiance bought me last week for my birthday. He also bought me some earrings and hair clippies that I am loving but I think I will include those in my May Favs post.

They are both what I would call 'short' necklaces. The first one is lovely because when we first started seeing each other five whole years ago (yowzas), I went home from uni for the summer to Northampton and he would send me lovely letters (ahahaha he'll kill me for telling you all that!). I was always beyond excited about this.

The second is also special because it has a ring (perfect considering my upcoming nuptials), a pearl (I'm pearl obsessed) and a lipstick (for my beauty blog and youtube channel-woop woop). So as you can see, this necklace was practically MADE FOR ME! hehehe

I luurrrvvveee Accesorize and Monsoon. I don't really have any expensive jewellery, apart from my engagement ring and what I was left by my Mum, because I'm quite flippant and like to chop and change. I could literally spend hundreds in there!!

Anyone else got any nice bits from there lately?

Toodlepip!
