I Won a Giveaway! #3

Turns out little old me won another giveaway, how fab is that! This one was hosted by an amazing friend of mine Hayley (go check her blog out it's amazing!) and I won a gorgeous little set of skincare samples. It was a wonderful little giveaway and even if I hadn't of won I'd of bought myself this little set because it's so damn cute!

With the gorgeous little set of skincare samples you also get a muslin cloth (which I currently use to remove my Good Things cleanser!) which is a wonderful little extra as I've been wanting to try one out forever. I've gotten to the stage where I just hate flannels, their just too rough!

This little set retails for £6 on the Pai website which for 6 samples ain't bad at all! However as you can see most of the samples are moisturizers which is slightly disappointing as I'm currently trying out eye creams. Also the book you get with the set goes into detail on what products should be tried with what skin type. However I can't really complain, this was a gorgeous little set to win from Hayley and I can't wait to try out my first sample! 

I won a Giveaway! ♡

This wonderful giveaway was held by Hayley over at Water Painted Dreams when she hit 500 followers! I was ever so excited when she tweeted me to say I had won, I've never won a giveaway and it was fab to walk out of work to a tweet like that! It arrived the day after she posted it (woweee) which was last Tuesday with very cute packaging may I add.

I got some wonderful prizes. I've already swatched the palette shades and I've fallen in love! I can see why Hayley adores it so much.

♡ Sleek Storm Palette

♡ Boots Natural Collection hair mask

♡ Palmers Cocoa Butter lip balm

♡ YSL waterproof eyeshadow & lipstick in Rouge Pur 140

Everything I received is gorgeous, my second favorite has to be the lippy. I've never worn/bought plum colours so I'm excited to wear it!

Look how gorgeous this palette looks! The colours are well pigmented and their so glittery and there's even a pinky in there that looks wonderful. I know I'll have fun with this palette! Now I haven't had chance to wear anything yet but I can guarantee I'll show you all and the palette will have it's own review I love it that much :)

A huge thank you to Hayley for sending me these prizes, I adore her blog and she's ever so nice, go and check her out!

Thank you dearly, to each and everyone of my followers and commenter's it means the world to me and I've finally reached 50 followers. I'm so happy and also it means I can start the giveaway! Which will officially start on Monday at 12:30pm. Today is going to be a little more of a personal blog post because I haven't seen my dad in a long time and I had a lovely day. 

Today I went to see my dad which I haven't done for the past few weeks and of course my gorgeous little brother. A new toy store recently opened in my town - Symth's toy store and it was the grand opening today so before going back to my dad's out of town we thought we'd pop in for a look :) 

How adorable is he? He's 4 next year and he's just getting into the whole superhero phase, I can't wait till I can buy him action figures and comic books! :D

Also I had a little spending spree of my own, I just couldn't help myself.

cosmo - £2 // underworld & contraband - blockbuster (rented) // gourmet jelly beans mmmh! for 95p too!

Whenever I go to my dads he always likes to go rent a few films and buy me and Joshua a few sweets and today we even decided to bake. Now these ones didn't turn out as well as I hoped, they were only part of a packet mix but Joshua really wanted to do them.

the ingredients we used

packet mix  & icing sugar - morrisons // eggs - morrisons 

we also made the butter cream icing ourselves from this site 

Now I know they don't like that amazing, the icing was a little runny and very yellow but he wanted to decorate the buns with sprinkles so we did so :) They do taste quite yummy though! And I did have a lovely day. I ended up watching the film 'Puss in Boot's' in-between baking and I have to admit, it's a really good kiddy film! I'll get around to doing my Friday wishlist either later or tomorrow and then I'll do my 'you' challenge later too :)

Just reminder to all my followers, the giveaway starts on Monday and again thank you!
