Well, it's not been without it's challenges. Last night my straighteners died :( And since it's no buy October (and I simply can't afford it), I'll be having frizzy hair until I can afford another set. It's not going to be easy as I used these around 5 times a week... :(
As for makeup, I haven't bought any :) I haven't really had the urge too either. To be honest, I look at my makeup collection at the moment and feel almost embarrassed, I definitely have too much stuff (the curse of most beauty bloggers)... so when I visited my friend last night, I took her a little bag of makeup to cheer her up :) She seemed really happy with it and it certainly made me feel good to get rid of some of it :)
All in all it's been a smooth first week. Makeup wise I've been rocking a very simple look (mostly because I haven't been getting up in time to spend the gazillion hours on my eyes I usually do! I've been focussed on my signature eyeliner, 1 light shade of eyeshadow (like Chanel Fauve for example) and blusher (foundation of course). I'm hoping to have more time next week if I can get to bed earlier, but where's the fun in that :p
Here's a couple of pics from my week too :)
The many faces of my next youtube video... I say 'next'... I'm still not sure if I should upload it :S
Matilda standing on the box of stuff we're donating to charity looking all cute!
We went over to our friends house last night, I had great fun doing really dark eye shadow using my new Chanel single eye shadow, it's sooooo sparkly! It'll be great applied wet during the xmas/new year season as it's so pretty and shiny!
So that's kinda how my week has been and filled with a no-buy. The worst bit is my straighteners breaking... it feels like everything at the moment is money money money... first by us needing to go away for a few days, then our car needing £600 spending on it, now my straighteners... always something I know :) Ah well, we can't let these things get us down, it's just stuff after all :)
Great post! I'm on a spending ban at the moment too! It's important to just remember what your goal is and why your on a spending ban, mines basically because I'm a shopoholic! Good luck with the ban, I'm sure you'll do fine! You look gorg in your pic! :)

Thanks :) Well you'd think my hair would be better off for it, but I'll be blow drying it :p And since my straighteners are dead, I might start curling instead :p
DeleteI really need to take a leaf out of your book with the no spending ban don't I.. I feel for you re the straighteners but your hair will be better for it by the time you buy your new ones . xx
ReplyDeleteStraighteners breaking is the worse thing ever, so expensive to replace.
ReplyDeleteLove the stills from the video haha x
You're doing well so far!
ReplyDeleteJust typical your straighteners broke now though! But at least your hair would be free from damage for a month or so! :) xx
How annoying about your hair straighteners! Everything happens all at once doesn't it?! Good luck with the rest of the ban!xx
