The Cosmetics Kitten's Diary :) --October 14th--

Hi guys! I am thinking of starting a feature on my blog which is a bit more 'lifestyley' than what I normally do. I'll still do reviews, OOTDs etc like normal, but once a week I'm going to do a little diary entry on what I've been up to the past week! We'll see how it goes, but I'd love to do it every Sunday. Through chatting in #bbloggers it seems people love having a nosy at lifestyle posts, so here goes!!

 

The Cosmetics Kitten's Diary

 

What have I been up to this week?

Last weekend was so much fun, on Friday night my boyfriend Scott and I went to my best friend Heather's flat to catch up with her and her boyfriend. It was long overdue! She'd recently adopted two bunnies so I got to meet them....

 

Cute bunnies! 

 

And give lots of love and cuddles to her amazing dog, Cody. Now Cody is a 'clearance puppy'. He may be a Chihuahua, but he thinks he's a cat, is the fluffiest thing ever, and most hysterically, has a tongue that he can't keep in his mouth.

 

 

That tongue is like that ALL THE TIME. He makes me laugh so much.

 

On Saturday night, my aunt and uncle joined us for a murder mystery evening with my parents and Scott. I'm no stranger to murder mystery parties, I've done loads, and blogged about one HERE.

 

 

They're great fun, I thoroughly recommend it!

 

And how was work?

In case you don't know, I'm a teacher. A primary teacher, but right now I'm working in a nursery. Obviously I can't give too much info about that (always the fear of being cyber stalked!!), but sometimes I have to share funny stories! For example:

 

Me: Who's got news?

Boy: Me! I do! I'm going on holiday!!

Me: Lucky you, where are you going?

Boy: Uhm... I think it's 'Blackpool'... No, wait, it's BLUEPOOL!!!

 

I honestly couldn't stop laughing. He was determined he's going to Bluepool. Who knew?

 

I got sent home on Wed with a tummy bug and didn't go in Thurs or Fri so it was a short week, I felt lousy tho!! Feeling better now. :)

 

And how are the cats?

For someone who is a self confessed crazy cat lady, I don't feel I give my cats enough blog time. They are literally my BABIES. This week, Dana has learnt where her treats are, and jumps up onto the kitchen counter, knocks them off, and opens the packet on the floor to eat at her leisure.

 

 

But who can resist that face (and slightly chubby body)??

 

Anything else?

Well, yes. My boyfriend Scott sold his car (he's unemployed - sadface) so he had a bit of money. So yesterday we went into Glasgow to go shopping and have dinner. I got some lovely stuff which I'll share with you in other posts. Here's some pics from our day:

 

MUA Constellations in Scorpio, my new cat hat and kitten mittens, strawberry daiquiris in TGIs, me drinking cocktails, a gorg bag I resisted, Scott and I in TGIs, me at dinner. :)

 

 

Well, what do you think of this feature guys? Too boring? I don't have the most exciting life haha! Would you enjoy reading something like this?

Let me know!

My Pretty Makeup Storage + Murder Mystery Madness

I'm thinking of changing my blog name since I rarely teach nowadays. I've put a poll to the left side, please vote! Any other ideas/thoughts, tweet me @ThinkPinkLauren. Thanks guys!!


I am NOT a tidy person. I'm awful, really bad. My problem is that I have too much stuff and not enough space, so I tend to just leave everything on the floor. I'm a great believer in the 'floordrobe'. But y'know, New Year, new start and all that - I thought I should try and make an effort to keep my room tidy.

My make up normally kind of lies everywhere, spread among three boxes with no rhyme or reason. I recently did a POST where I did a mini tidy and discovered lots of goodies! I'm just not good at keeping things in their place.

So, when I saw this gorgeous little storage box in WHSmith for half price, I knew I had to have it!!

Look at all those spaces for stuff!! I am determined to keep this organised. So far I have sorted it like this:

Bottom drawer is skin/cleansing stuffs, middle left is my everyday make up, middle right is my brushes and eyelashes, top is (l-r) eyes, lips, face that I sometimes use! I have a ton more make up that I haven't sorted yet, so think I'm gonna try get another one for 'extra' make up. I'm also wanting to get an actual brush holder for my Sigma brushes rather than have them in a drawer.

Do you like it? I think it's super cute and it was about time I threw out all the stuff I don't use and reacquaint myself with the good products I have that I'd forgotten about.

EDIT: The cupcake drawers are available online HERE.

Also wanna show you a few pics from the Murder Mystery night I recently had with my family:

It was an old school Hollywood theme, from l-r is my sister's boyfriend, my sister, me, my dad, my mum and my boyfriend. I think we all did well!

I was supposed to be an aging actress/ producer/ author etc! My outfit description was a white fitted dress and a white fur stole, so I think I did ok! My character was Mae Vest, obv based on Mae West, so I modelled my make up on her...

Haha, what do you think?? I love Murder Mysteries. My friends and I used to do them a lot, and Ive done a few with my family. If you've never done one, I'd thoroughly recommend it!!

Anyways...

How do you store your make up? Are you one of the super organised people or are you a bit like me?? =p

Let me know!
