Not dead, just busy!

Leave a comment

So little life update, we’ve been very busy and stressed with lots of different things recently. My other half was made redundant which sucks, and then started a new job! We had a lot of different things to do to in quite succession: my brothers wedding, a get together of some friends moving away from the UK, celebratory dinners for finishing exams for other people in the fam. So the website has gotten a little left by the wayside, despite the fact that videos have in fact still been being produced, both on my StudiousOctopus beauty YouTube, and the And So Begins gaming YouTube that I’m part of!

So here’s a few of my recent Beauty Videos:

And as a nice catch up on And So Begins, we’ve been playing…

Firewatch…

Near Death…

And other good stuff!

So, now that all that hectic-ness is over and done with, hopfully I’ll be back to more regular website maintenance. Until Next Time!

And Until Next time, where I’ll be opening the March 2017 UK GlossyBox with the super awesome Sleek Palette, Ciao!

End Of Year e.l.f. Haul – Including Holiday Favourites Must Have Pack

Leave a comment

I managed to squeeze in a last minute haul at the end of the year, snapping up a few goodies from e.l.f. cosmetics and getting a nice set of items free!

This is my first time trying out buying e.l.f. from the new all in one website – they used to sell in the UK through a redistributor, but no more! They did come directly from America, so it took a little longer to arrive, but not any longer than you’d expect. Everything was nicely packaged and intact, which is awesome since some makeup can be quite fragile and it came quite a distance. I got a mix of essential restocks and some new things to try, but you’ll see that in the video above!

My next video will be the latest GlossyBox, but I’m also planning on doing another empties, and doing empties a little more frequently – so that when I do them they’re a little shorter and more watchable. Until Next Time!

GlossyBox End of 2016!

Leave a comment

Just a quick tidying up post for the end of 2016, with links to December’s initial un-boxing of super cool new shiny things…

…And then the Catch Up, where I give a more indepth look back after using them!

Overall the MDMflow lipstick was my favourite item in the box, it definitely stood out from all the rest, the brow powder was certainly an experience, and as usual I got a Nail Polish I might use once!

Looking forward to the new year GlossyBox, it looks to be full of things to start the year as we mean to go on – putting good things on our faces. Until Next Time!

November 2016 UK GlossyBox and Catch Up!

Leave a comment

I thought I’d posted the November GlossyBox video, and it turns out I hadn’t! Bleugh! So here it is…

I had such high hopes – look at my smiling, hopeful face! Sadly, I think a lot of the items in this box, while not awful, were not super wow. Highlight of the box was the brush, so soft, such blending!

Next up is the neat “pick your look” Sugar or Spice December box, and I’ve already picked December – totally looking forward to that, and it should be here soon, since GB is always pretty early in December (otherwise no one would get it around the Christmas shipping dates >.<)

Until Next Time!
