Poor blogger is poor

So I've not been updating much. I am super broke, beyond broke. I have 9p in my bank account for the foreseeable future and therefore I haven't been buying many things or trying many things out :( Trying to get back into my freebies so if I get any I shall let you all know. Blog is gonna be pretty bare apart from that until I get a job and can try things out. Oh, had my college interview last week so fingers crossed for that!!

Love my postman today!

Got a few wee goodies in the post today so Mr Postman, you are my pal today :)

So I don't actually remember requesting this freebie but I must have as they sent me it! It's Smashbox's Photo Finish Luminizing Foundation Primer. I've never used a primer before, I rarely use foundation to be honest so I wasn't too fussed when I saw this fall out the envelope. Thought I'd give it a wee go anyway, just on my hand today, will use it on my face fully another day.

I'll be honest, I wasn't really expecting anything from this. Having never used a primer before I didn't know if this was going to be good or not. I'm usually skeptical of any kind of foundations, bronzer, etc as my skin is really pale, when I try things, I just turn orange. That's never a good look!

As soon as I started blending it, I loved it! It became so creamy and silky, blended in lovely! I thought it was a bit too dark for me but once I blended it in fully, it looked fantastic!

A lot of blending up there! ^

Look at the lovely finish this leaves! I can't wait to try this with foundation to see what kind of finish I get then. I'm not going to rush out and buy this but maybe if I start wearing foundation more regularly, I might buy this or have a look around at other brands.

Do you use a primer? If so what kind?




Garnier Intensive 7days Challenge

I've been waiting a while for this wee gem! As soon as I got the email about it, I wanted to try it. My skin isn't the best, especially on my legs, it's rough, dry and flaky so this is right up my street! I'll be starting this tomorrow and will document my week, see how it goes. Inside you get 7 6ml sachets of Garnier's Ultra Softening Lotion with Shea Butter, 2 Skin Readers to be used before your first application and 2 hours after you last to check the results. There is plenty of information on the packaging as well as numbers to call for advice or if you have any questions.
You are also given their website and if you tell them how your week went using the product you could win one of the 100 magazine subscriptions they have to give away.


And to finish, my last goodie in the post. How fabulous are these?! 25p from ebay!

FOTD; Freebie Of The Day

I took an old mascara, that I'm sure I bought in Superdrug for about £1.49, into the Clinique counter at my local Debenhams and was presented with this lovely little tube, Clinique High Impact Mascara. It's a lot bigger than I thought it would be which I'm pleased about, I knew it wouldn't be a full sized tube but I don't wear makeup all that much right now so it's perfect!

Not given it a go yet but I will tomorrow and stick a wee review up then and if anyone would like to swap their old or used up mascaras for one, this offer is running until May 20th. No other purchase is necessary, so go grab a nice wee freebie and get rid of an old mascara you don't use! :)

It has been a while!

So I haven't been around for over a month now, I've been jobhunting, not having any money to buy myself beauty treats and not really been feeling like making much of an effort with my hair/makeup/exercise etc :(

Still on the jobhunt but my will to better myself is reappearing which is always nice! Due to extreme brokeness, the only beauty products I've been getting have been freebies or very cheap things on ebay every now and then. Exercise really needs to begin soon, like tonight, as nothing is going to change unless I do it. So I need to get up off my ass and change what I want to change. Just Dance here I come!

Got a job interview on Friday and it's for the Dominos that is literally across the road from me, how handy! Also got an interview for college on the 31st. Kinda pinning a lot of hopes on that, which I know I shouldn't but I'd really love to go.

So this hasn't been much of a beauty filled post and I know I said I'd stick to beauty so from now on I will, just wanted to fill people in!

Now to jump to the beauty have a picture of me wearing make up last night for the first time in a few weeks!

Oooh hello freebie

I do love a freebie, especially in the post! So I was delighted when this little beauty popped through the letterbox.



I love using scrubs but often find them very harsh on my skin, so I will give this a go and hope for the best!

OOTD; Nice weather

I don't usually do these but the more I get on top of everything, the more time I plan for wee outfits and stuff. So I'll hopefully be posting more of these!
