Challenge Complete!

Hey!
At the beginning of September I decided to get involved with blog your socks off September which was set up by Jess at http://www.lovelyjubblyblog.com/ which basically meant blogging everyday of the month. I'm glad I managed to do this & I really feel like it helped to gain viewers and maybe even some new followers! I also feel like it helped motivate me into blogging and now I've properly got into it (as I was still fairly new to it all when I started this) & now I'm loving it! Cant imagine not doing it now.. so thank you for coming up with this challenge!

I'll probably still be blogging quite frequently, maybe every other day or do you guys think that's too much? Let me know :)
So thank you again for all the views and new followers that I gained during this challenge! Hope you liked all my posts, I loved doing it and it's also spurred me on to get involved in more blogging things, so I'll also be doing posts to do with Halloween in the next couple of weeks so look out for them!

I thought I'd use this post to add in a couple of other cheeky favourites that I forgot to include in my last post.
Both by NYC (wasn't intentionally haha!)
So first up is this little palette which I ordered from Fragrance Direct for only 99p.. it's called 'Gothic Harlem' and is a really good for creating a smoky eye. It has 3 grey/black shades & one white for the highlight however, I choose to use a different colour as a highlight as it's not too pigmented. But it's great and I've been using it a lot over the last month to create a subtle every day smoky eye look.
I have a review about it (Here) if you want to read more about it.

Next is NYC's nail varnish in 'Matte me Crazy.' I love this product! I've been on the look out for a matte top coat for ages now & finally found one online, I'd seen topshop matte colours, but I wanted just the top coat so I could change any colour into matte and wasn't just limited to a couple of colours. It works really well, does the job & also works as a top coat so helps your nails from chipping. I'd definitely recommend this.

Hope you enjoyed this post!

  2. Ooh, they're really good bargains! I had a bit of a break from blogging for a while, I don't think I can manage blogging EVERY day but I'm aiming for 4-5 posts a week throughout October, haha! x
