My Card Came today!!
I'm SO happy I got my card early, I was not looking forward to waiting a week without it!
...Still upset that the engineer couldn't warn me that the ATM wasn't working BEFORE I used it!!

Inappropriate!?
So I'm sitting on the bus, making my way to work and all of a sudden something someone said to me a while back pops into my head!
Last year when my gran died, the status on my MSN read something like "Mama RIP", to which someone who I hardly speak to replied, "so what your mum died!?"
Now at the time I just replied no, although it did kind of throw me a little, but thinking about it now, even if it were the case, is that the most appropriate way to ask somebody!? Personally I don't think it is, what do you guys think?
....I'll be back after this short intermission!

No electricity!
My house has no electricity, which means no food no heating no television and no internet! All others I can do without but no net!? That's just too much for me to take!

RIP Daniel De-Gale
Press statement issued by ACLT
Beverley De-Gale and Orin Lewis of the ACLT regret to announce the death on Wednesday 8th October 2008, of their son Daniel De-Gale, aged 21 (born 14th March 1987).
Daniel a former Leukaemia sufferer who was diagnosed with the condition in April 1993 won his battle against Leukaemia when on 16th June 1999 at the age of 12 he received a bone marrow transplant at Great Ormond Street Hospital.
Daniel was in remission but however, due to complications with his health that led to multiple organ failure he died in hospital surrounded by his family.
Beverley says: “We are very grateful for all the love, support, kindness, generosity, dedications and concern that you all have shown for our beautiful son. However, we ask that you please do not send us any flowers but instead continue to support the charity as this is what Daniel would have wanted, so that we can keep helping to give others the gift of life.”
The ACLT was set up 12 years ago to encourage ethnic minorities and those from mixed race communities to register as bone marrow donors as there are worryingly less than 3% of potential ethnic minority donors on the UK Bone Marrow Register, despite the prevalence of leukaemia amongst these groups. In real life terms the odds of finding a bone marrow match are a staggering 1 in 100,000 if you’re black or mixed race compared to about 1 in 5 if you’re white, underlying the overwhelming odds faced by those in the UK suffering from leukaemia.
Colin Salmon, patron for the charity and family friend commented: “This beautiful boy inspired so many of us and we will continue to illuminate the path, with his light, so others may be guided to safety. In this life there are those sent to us to manifest wisdom, action and bring joy, Daniel was one of those spirits. The pain we are all feeling right now reflects the love he generated in so many of us. Not a love of celebrity, or fame but a love of life and ultimately this gift of life we have all been given. Beautiful Daniel De-Gale, it has been an honour and the purest of pleasures to know you and call you a friend. Peace.”

NOOOOO!!!!!!
I got home today to an email from MAC! The two lipsticks from the Manish Arora collection order where refunded back to my card as they have sold out! SOOOOO NOT FAIR!!!! I should have acted sooner!
I'm going to pop down to Harrods tomorrow and see if they have any in stock, although I'm not holding my breath!
Girl About Town is apart of the MAC permanent line, but it just would have been nice to have had the colourfull packaging!! Ah well!!! I had a week and I didn't act soon enough, it's my own fault I guess!!
...I'll be back after this sgort intermission!! (",)

I just couldn't sleep...
...until I had placed my order! LOL!! I know right!? I need help!! The only thing is I don't want help! LOL
So I tried to pay for my order again and it went through *yippee!!! Jumps around room, doing the new makeup dance! LMAO* I'm SO excited to get everything now, it's gonna be a HUGE haul that's for sure
...Anyway I'm off to bed now, it's almost 2AM in the morning and I'm tired and have an early start in the morning!
...I'll be back after this short intermission with news on my addiction! (",)

AAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!
IT'S NOT WORKING!!!!
.....My debit card that is!!! (and yes there is enough money on it! I don't live outside my means!) I just tried to pay for an order online (no prizes for guessng what site. It's quite obvious where tho! - but for those who don't know, the answer is MAC!! But it's not my fault, I'm addicted! *eeekk!!*) - It's almost as if my cosmetics addiction chooses to ignore the fact that we are going through a credit crunch! LOL!!
I shall try again tomorrow morning as I want the new Manish Arora collection; I was going to only get a few things after going to see them, but it's only at Harrods and I won't have time to go up there to see them in person, therefore I figure rather than troll through eBay later and pay more, I might as well get everything, and what I don't like, either sell it or keep it for a swap! - What do you think? If you have anything from the collection or have seen it, what do think of it?

My new obsession is.....
....MAKEUP!!!! *enter shocked expression* LOL
I've always been fascinated with makeup and bought bits here and there (from Boots and Superdrugs mainly), but recently Youtube has gotten me hooked, right, left and centre!! I've spent a great deal of money in the last couple of months on makeup and can't see it ending anytime soon!
I love, love, LOVE the different "looks" people come up with and I just want to try them all.
There's a blush tag going on at the moment (I kinda wish I was tagged, but oh well!!) and it's got me in all sorts of trouble, I'm not a blush person or so I thought, as I just can't seem to find the "right" blush for me! So I've been using my lil' blush from the Boots Natural Collection called Sugar Plum, which I love! But since the tag video, that's gone out the window, I think I've bought like 6 blushes, and also added to my mineralized blush collection (which is still at my dad's! I really should go and pick up my deliveries) not to mention I'm just itching with the chance to go and pick up some NARS blushes! Can anyone say ORGASM! LOL!! The one I'm lusting for the most is MOUNIA, it's like this deep raspberry colour, LOVE it!!!
And I must say that although I still haven't really dipped into my new purchases, my application technique has changed, the way I do my smokey eye (my favourite type of eye) has changed and I most say, it's far more consistent and refined, a lot different from my slap it on, hit and miss technique I had prior!
I'm still contemplating doing my own looks and posting videos on YT, but that might have to wait a while until I've settled into my professional development course. I will be posting EOTD, FOTD, hauls, my makeup collection so far, and generally anything to do with beauty/skincare and hair on my other blogspot which you can find here because this blog is more for my designs (which have taken a lil' back seat, but not forgotten) and general ramblings.
...Anyhoo I hope all is well, and I'll be back after this short intermission (",)
