£10 Shopping Budget

It was my day off last week and I was in serious need of a new makeup fix. You properly know the feeling, a long week at work dragging on like nobody’s business? As it was just after Christmas and pay day seeming like 10 years away I decide to give myself £10 to spend on makeup and this is what I got…

A pretty good haul for just £10.00 don’t you think? Well I did spend 50p over but you know close enough!

To start with I picked up the Revlon Colourburst Balm Stain in Honey. I had recently watched Essie Buttons rave about this lip product in a recent video and knew it had to be mine. I love simple nude lip colours that are easy to apply for daytime wear at work. I have a few of the matte balms already and this one does not disappoint. I bought this in Superdrug and it was on offer for £5.00!

Next I found the Collection Little Mix All About The Eyes Palette for only £2.50!!!! I have seen lots of reviews on this last year saying it was a great capsule budget palette. It’s not like I don’t have enough gold/neural eye shadows already but this will be perfect for when I'm traveling or away from home. Recently I have been wearing a lot of gold shades so I most definitely put this to good use.

I then spent a good while looking for my last purchase… I didn’t need a mascara or blusher as I have enough at home to last me way into 2016 and I didn’t want to buy a new foundation just yet and for £2.50 I’m not sure you would get a great one?! (Can you even buy a foundation for £2.50?)

I headed to MUA, a great budget brand and I spied the Undress Your Skin Shimmer Highlighter in Iridescent Gold! I bought the pinky one early last year and I was really pleased with it so this was my break the budget purchase, being £3.00 I was 50p over! I loved the pink one and use it a lot in 2014 so I know the gold one would get a lot of use especially due to my love of coral blusher and gold eyes at the moment.  

This £10.50 shopping spree hit my shopaholics spot without breaking the bank. I might try and do this for a few months while I save for an excited 2015 and 2016! I think I got quite a lot for my money as I looked out for offers, I love a bargain!

What would you buy if you only had £10.00?

Bye for now

Hannah Bakes- Easiest Fudge Ever

I love to bake and last year I shared with you a few of my creations so I have decided to start a ‘Hannah Bakes’ series of posts.  Below is the recipe for the most easiest and moreish sweet treat ever… Fudge. I have made this every Christmas for years and always get so many complements on how yummy it is It would make a great Valentine ’s Day gift for your other half or a lovely present for a grandparents birthday.

Ingredients

125g of Milk Chocolate (you can use dark if you want a slightly darker colour)

50g of butter or marg

¼ cup of evaporated milk

3 cups of icing sugar

A 20cm square tin

 

Method

1.)    Grease and line your tin.

2.)    Break up all of your chocolate and melt either in the microwave or in a saucepan. Be careful not to over melt your chocolate or burn your chocolate.

3.)    Add the butter/marg and continue to melt.

4.)    Once melted take off the heat and add the evaporated milk.

5.)    Sift in the icing sugar a little at a time. Towards the end of mixing it in you will find the mixture will become VERY stiff! It’s a good work out for your arms and totally worth it in the long run!

6.)    Press into the tin evenly. You can leave it plain as it is or add a topping of your choice. I decided this Christmas to press broken up Malteasers over the top.  You could use Oreos, white chocolate chips, drizzle chocolate over the top or use Haribo jelly hearts for a Valentine ’s Day theme.

7.)    Leave in the fridge to set for a few hours or until it has become firm all the way though to the touch.

8.)    Remove from the tin and cut into little squares.

Why not give it ago at the weekend!?

TAG- The Would You Rather Tag

1) Would you rather lose all of your mascaras, eye liners, lipsticks and lip glosses or lose all of your palettes and eye shadows?

Hmmm tricky one! Ummm I think I would prefer to lose all my mascaras, eye liners, lipsticks and lip glosses than my eye shadow palettes! As long as I got re-purchase them the next day!

2.) Would you rather chop off all your hair or never be able to cut it again?

I would rather chop it all off and then let it grow again!

3.) Would you rather have a coral cheek or a pink cheek?

Tricky Tricky… I love Benefit Coralista but I think a pink cheek more classic and goes with more lip colours so pink.

4.) If you had $1000 to spend, would you rather buy clothes or makeup?

Some very nice clothes and a handbag… and shoes!

5.) Would you rather apply lipstick as eyeliner, or eyeliner as lipstick?

Lip stick as eyeliner if I had to!

6.) Would you rather only shop at MAC or Sephora?

Sephora as there is more choice! It’s like an Aladdin’s cave in there! *dreamy*

7.) Would you rather only use one eye shadow color or one lip colour for the rest of your life?

One eye shadow I think a nice bronzey colour. So you can dress it up or down.

8.) Would you rather have dark nails or bright nails all year round?

Dark nails all year round… I love the look of dark short nails

9.) Would you rather give up your favourite lip product or your favourite eye product?

Favourite lip product I think… there still would be a lot of choice!

 10.) Would your rather never be able to paint your nails again or never use lipgloss?

Never wear lip gloss…I don’t actually wear lip gloss its way too sticky for me!

11.) Would you rather shave your eyebrows and have none at all or sharpie them in everyday?

Oh god! I dunno!! Shave your eyebrows off…. If I had too!

12.) Would you rather live without makeup or nail polish?

Live without nail polish. With my job I can’t really wear nail polish on my hands so I only really wear it for my days off then remove it! (I wish I could wear it everyday tho!)
