A real pet hate of mine

 

 

You see that orangey blob on my arm? The one that's not really anywhere close to my skintone?

Well that is Rimmel's Match Perfection Foundation. It claims to 'Adapt to skin tone & texture. Perfectly flawless finish. SMART-TONE TM technology adapts to the colour and texture of skin.'

Hmm... Yeah, that's really adapted to my skin tone well! I would also like to point out that i tried Ivory, the lightest shade this is available in. So it wasn't like I tried a really dark foundation and expected it to adapt.

The annoying this is that if this sort of worked it would be amazing. It's really hard to find foundation in my shade (a problem I'm sure a lot of people have) so this gimmick would be amazing. But i have never ever found one that worked. And i have tried a lot! I guess it's just not possible for foundation to actually adapt to the colour of the skin it's on, but so many claim to!
 

IT'S ANNOYING I TELL YOU!

Grumble grumble

ugh i had an awful trip home from work (i have a very very part time job doing the accounting and admin for my brother-in-laws tree surgery form) my sister was down my way earlier so i got a lift up to their house but was ready to take the utterly ridiculous bus that goes from outside their house to mine to get home. So i left 10 minutes before the bus was due but as i left the house i saw it whizzing by. This stupid bus only comes once an hour (it's the strangest bus ever, most of the stops don't actually have any indication that they are in fact stops, you just stand at the side of the road and hail it. It passes through all these tiny residential streets and somehow takes about 40 minutes when if we drive there it takes 15 minutes tops) and as i'd finished all my work i couldn't be bothered to hang around for another hour. So I asked Neil (the brother in law) how to get to the bus stop that would take me to wimbledon. Neil gave me some completely baffling directions that changed everytime i asked him to repeat them. So i ended up walking along the bust route for half an hour until i found a main road, which luckilly has a bus stop that goes to Wimbledon. I then waited for a bus for half an hour during which time i discovered my special Nintendo DS thing (it lets me download games!) wasn't working, so i may have lost my Mario and Luigi: Bowsers inside story game, which would suck. Then at wimbledon i had to change and wait another 5 minutes for the bus to my house. All of this time i had no makeup on (which looks so much worse now i have blonde eyebrows, i look hideous) and was wearing, oh the shame, i was wearing my girlfriends jogging suit. I thought as i was getting a lift there and then just had the bus home, which is generally empty when i leave work, i could cope with being so slovenly. And it was freezing out.
Anyway i'm well aware most peoples commutes are worse than that, and they have to do it everyday, but i just wasn't prepare for it so it made me really anxious and fed up.

But that's enough grumbling, have some good news!
So far i have sent £25 from my blog sale proceeds to the youtubers for Haiti fund, just under half of the total i made :)
I want to thank everyone who bought from me, i really couldn't have given so much on my own. I hope you all enjoyed what you got :) I've lowered the prices of most of my remaining items, so please check them out, i will also be posting some new things next week (i've been saying this for ages but i've been busy with Sir Digby).

I've been so so naughty recently, i am absolutely skint but i've been hauling like a motherbitch. I also spent loads on valentines day! Luckilly i shall be paid soon, it's only a very small paycheck but it will help.

I've also continually forgotten to mention i have a twitter, it's here: http://twitter.com/LillianLow please tell me if you have one too if i'm not following you already :)

Sir Digby Chicken Ceasar is asleep on the back of my neck. It's incredibly cute but very uncomfortable!

That's enough various chatter for tonight, back to the beauty posts!

Poverty

Christmas is coming, it's sneaking up on me! I really want to take part in a secret santa thing that's going on, but as i just bought prizes for my giveaway (2 followers to go :P) and I don't have much disposable income, i don't know if i can afford to take part. Which is rather pathetic as the one i've seen is only a tenner.

I'm really rather poor at the moment, it's my own fault because i was stupid. Basically before i went shopping on thursday/yesterday i had checked my bank balance and i had plenty of money in my account, so i went off spending happily and then later discovered that actually my statement had just been really out of date, and i actually had a lot less money than it told me.

I have a lot of clothing to sell, so i was wondering if anyone following my blog would be interested in seeing anything before i put it on ebay? The clothes would be ranging from a size 10 - 18 UK and shoes a size 8 UK, eur 41, US 10) and would include some punk/gothy/weird stuff as well as some basics.
Lots of it has never been worn and as i just really need to make some money i will be selling it off very cheap.

So if anyone might be interested please tell me, or if not i shall be off to ebay!

Oh and, please have a look at my blog sale here

yes i am well aware that this is a sad and pathetic post :(

(Angie your items have been sent out and should be with you in about a week according to the post office :) )

I am going to attempt a super diet before christmas. If i manage it it will involve me eating plenty of fruit and veg and i balanced meal (dinner) a day, and just drinking water and one glass of juice with dinner, as well as exercise as much as possible (yuk). It's very irritating because while i have put on weight, and certainly do not have the perfect diet, i really don't think i have a terrible diet. Generally i have a lunch of maybe some toast, a balanced meal for dinner and occaisionally a little something sweet. So yeah, no great, but not terribly bad. I do need to exercise more though, but i just find it so boring!
I know i can lose weight if i try, years ago i went from being a size 16/18 to a 12/14 but then i went from having a terrible diet to the one i have now, so it just seems harder to me.

I've got more hauls to show, as well as lots of products i want to review, but it's difficult in this weather! That may sound really stupid, but by the time i've finished doing all the stuff i have to do and get to relax and photo my makeup he light is so terrible that swatches and things just look completely off. Grr!

If anyone wanted to see some more photos from my Halloween there are some here

So hopefully tomorrow i will actually be able to do some photos and maybe a video or two while it's still light!
