So here is my first one and from October to February I used 7 products up:


1x mascara
1x primer
1x blusher
3x samples

The month that was - January

This month feels like it's just gone on and on and on! I finally got rid of my annoying cough that I had since before christmas only to then get another cold! I had 2 days off work because I felt so rubbish :-(

I also decided to cancel my Feel Unique beauty box after Januarys one was very dissapointing. How much skincare stuff do they think you want in a single box?


Even though I'm meant to be on a diet as I want to loose a stone by the end of June I have been eating my pink and white mice, I still haven't finished the tub, and I bought a mini egg dessert! Love these! Oh and I bought a box of Pop Tarts which helped me feel better when I was off work!



After moving back home about 5 months ago I finally got round to putting my picture up in my room and it's got pride of place above my bed.



This month I also went on a spending ban which went well, I did spend a little last week but I sold some things on eBay so I think this is allowed! I also had a job interview at a small hospital which is slightly nearer to where I live but I didn't get the job :-( never mind. Hope you had a good month!

Review - Bomb Cosmetics Flying High bath blaster

A few weeks ago I went to a garden centre with my mum and dad and they sell lots of gifty type products and a stand full of bath bombs caught my eye. I decided to buy one for my friend to go in a basket of gifts that I've got for when she has her baby and the Flying High one caught my eye.


The bomb is a pale turquoise colour with two space ship like objects on the top! It is scented with patchouli oil and contains cocoa and shea butter.



As soon as I put it in the bath water it tarted fizzing and gave off an amazing aroma which lasted all night.


Overall I'm very impressed with this bath bomb and I will definitely buy more. Have you used anything from Bomb Cosmetics before?

Review - Tigi Catwalk straightening blow out balm

I hadn't used any Tigi products before so when I received this mini straightening blow out balm in Octobers Feel Unique beauty box I started using it straight away (no pun intended)!


This is a clear product which has specks of shimmer and glitter to it and you need a small amount to rub into towel dry hair before you blow dry it.


I have used Lee Staffords straightening balm which is a similar product, clear with shimmer in it, but this one does actually make your hair shimmer slightly! My hair was left feeling soft and silky and it didn't feel coated like other products can leave your hair feeling.

The full sized 90ml bottle retails at £10.35 from Feel Unique.
