My swap with Michaela: part 3 Bath, misc and Bethany's surprise

Hiya gorgeous ladies, how are you all today? 

I hope you are all well and are having a fantastic Friday.

This is going to be part 3 of my swap with the lovely Michaela. I really am extremely happy with this beautiful box and I'm sorry if I am laying it on thick on how much I love this swap box, its because I really do absolutely love this swap box and the lady who made it up

. Michaela even sent a little something for my daughter, Bethany, it is something that she always does. Bethany also loved her owl bag with all the goodies that Michaela put in. She did ask me if it was Christmas all over again lol. Anyway, onto the goodies:

As you can see from the pictures and the previous posts, Michaela has spoiled both me and Bethany rotten and I am truly grateful. If you would like to see what I sent her, please go to her post here, I truly hope she likes her box as much as i loved hers. I did truly enjoy spoiling Michaela as she really is that special person everyone should have in their lives. Thank you Michaela, you truly are 1 in a million.
 I guess that is it for now ladies. Until the next time, don't do anything I wouldn't do.

My swap with Michaela part 2: Skincare

Hiya gorgeous ladies,

I hope you are all well? 

Still with this lunatic weather, it's not great is it? I just hope we have a fantastic Spring and Summer, I am definitely ready for that, are you?

This is going to be part 2 of my swap with Michaela as I didn't think just cramming all of these beauties onto 1 page really does it any justice. Michaela really is 1 hell of a woman and deserves to be treated with the respect she deserves. Michaela truly knows me well as there are only 2 items in the entire swap that I wont keep and that is only because I actually already have them in my collection, everything else is fantastic x

As you can clearly see, this woman does an amazing swap box and I still haven't finished yet but that is for the next post. That is it for now ladies, until the next time, don't do anything I wouldn't do.

Swap with Michaela Part 1: make up

Hiya ladies, how are you all doing?

 I hope you are all well.

In the SBJ group we do challenges, swaps and competitions on top of all of the other natter that goes on.  I have done a couple swap boxes with a 2 members of the admins in the group. This particular swap is with Michaela and boy oh boy has she done me proud. 

I must say that I am completely blown away with this particular swap box and you will see why over the next 3 posts. This lady has gone above and beyond what you would expect in a swap box but she always does this and spoils you rotten. She did this at Xmas when I was having a dreadful time, she sent me 2 Xmas boxes to make me smile and you can see that here.

 My friend Michaela has her own blog (here is the link) and I would appreciate it if you could go over and say hi, she really is a sweetheart and bakes the best darned cakes you will ever see. 

So, what do you think? Have you ever done a swap with someone? And how did it go?

That is it for this post ladies, until the next time, don't do anything I wouldn't do.

Recent Elf haul

Hiya you gorgeous ladies, I hope you are all well? 

I have to let you in on a secret that I have have but please don't let it go any further: I LOVE ELF make up. It is absolutely fantastic. As like other brands, they do have some hit and misses but for the price, you can overlook that and not mind so much if you do get something that isn't going to be OK for you for whatever reason. 

There are 2 reasons for this post: 1) the fact that Elf have a 50% off at the minute, and yes, that includes the current sale. It has a £30 spend but once you put in the code, it takes it down to £15 and that qualifies your order for the free delivery that Elf are running for the whole of February. The 50% ends on Monday so be quick if you see something that you like. They are spoiling us with the amount of offers they have been doing recently, so get on over and see what catches your eye. link is here.

2) The haul I have just  recently received after taking advantage of the 50% off and I only ordered on Thursday night and I received this morning. So what did I buy? Here you go:

So, that is what I bought from the 50% off, is there anything that caught your eye or has there been something you have on your wish list that you just have to get? I am tempted by another order but I must restrain myself lol. 

That is it for this now ladies. Until the next time, don't do anything I wouldn't do.

A cheeky sales haul with a little help from London

 Hiya everyone, 

I hope you are all OK with this ridiculous weather we are having. My thoughts are going out to everyone who is suffering with the floods, I genuinely cant imagine what you must be going through or feeling. I hope that help comes to you soon.

After such a serious chat I am going onto a very self indulgent post for you: a sort of haul. My local Boots and Superdrug are extremely tiny and we don't have a great selection of beauty products and the sale section is virtually non existent.However, 1 of the gorgeous ladies in the SBJ group, Nardine, offered to shop the sales in her local shops as she is in London. This is what she bought and the Urban Decay palette is from her own collection. 

 I paid £30 including postage for this gorgeous lot. How amazing is Nardine? We call her the queen of swaps as she always, always goes above and beyond what is expected from a swap. An absolutely amazing lady. Thank you again Nardine, you really did make my day xxx

Anyway, that is it for this post so I am off to get wet and pick up my little girl from school. Until the next time, don't do anything I wouldn't do.

Elf tinted lip balm in Cranberry.

Hiya everyone, I hope you are all well? 

I've not been to good of late and I haven't really wanted to do my make up but I have as I look absolutely terrible without it. So, I have been wearing the bare minimum and oh my, have I been loving the Elf tinted lip balm in Cranberry. At first, I actually wasn't that keen to be honest as it was a little too thick I felt but I found myself putting it on continuously, day in and day out. 

 Onto the serious business of what I actually think of it, well, I love the scent but I feel it smells more like strawberries than cranberry but hey, that does not bother me in the slightest. The consistency is thick but I did get used to that as it feels so lovely and and creamy on the lips. It gives off enough colour to make the lips look interesting and not scary. I love this so much that I have bought another 1 in nude and if you want to try it for yourself you can form the Elf website here. That is it for this post ladies, so don't do anything I wouldn't do and have fun.

Bodyshop & Illamasqua Haul

Hello ladies,

I hope you are all well?

Isn't the weather absolutely fantastic? Hmmmm I don't know about you but I am seriously looking forward to Spring, just to remember what the sun looks like. Oh to be able to walk out of the door and not be cold and wet, how nice would that be?

Anyway, onto the real seriousness of beauty. My small Bodyshop and Illamasqua haul. Both shops were having a sale and I couldn't not buy from them could I?

OH my is everything beautiful.

Just how beautiful do these gorgeous items look? I nearly drooled when I saw the Illamasqua blusher, it is that beautiful. So, have you been taking advantage of the recent sales? What did you get? I would love to see.

Anyway, I think that is it for this post. Have fun and don't do anything I wouldn't do.
