Roll Up, Roll Up!
It’s a dreary Monday and we need a boost! This week its a second Palette from the Limited Edition Boots Collection in Canvas, a warm neutral brown palette.
I reviewed the range here and I LOVED it. Completely practical and wearable.
Firstly, last weeks winner (who wins the smoky version of this palette) is….SARAHPuffy!
Please email me your address at: rowena AT cosmetic-candy.com so I can get it in the post.
Thanks to all who entered!
Now to win the Canvas palette, let’s do some random fun questions and I’ll draw a winner from the lucky hat (actually in my case, sock).
Questions:
1. What’s wrong with you?
2. What’s right with you?
3. If you could go back to last week, what would you change?
4. If you could go back one year, what would you change?
5. What are you addicted to at the moment?
Me:
1. What’s wrong with you?
I have a septic toe, and a bizarre skin infection and a really sore neck. I’m hoping my body’s natural defences, if in fact I have any, will sort me out.
I am also completely overwhelmed at the moment by the amount of work and things I want to do in work and also on the blog(s).
2. What’s right with you?
I am totally in love with Hetty the Hoover, who came to me last week.
3. If you could go back to last week, what would you change?
I wouldn’t have had gammon and deep fried chips for lunch, followed by a roast, followed by Arctic Roll.
4. If you could go back one year, to this time, what would you change?
I can’t remember exactly what I was doing but I would be more organised and would have focused myself more clearly so that thing were a little easier now. I probably wouldn’t buy 50% of the things I did.
5. Tell me a secret?
I can’t stop buying fake eyelashes off eBay (is that a secret?)…and I am launching (hopefully by the end of the year) a few other websites which I hope will be as good as Cosmetic Candy!
Winner will be announced next Monday!

1. What’s wrong with you?
I have to have my gall bladder removed and I’ve discovered that my daughter has really big ears (I know that’s her problem.. but she gets them from me)
2. What’s right with you?
I’ve gotten past the new mum thing and am falling more in love with my girl every day. It feels like ‘pig in shit’ type bliss.
3. If you could go back to last week, what would you change?
I would have been more chatty and confident at the Illamasqua Dystopia preview. I also would have asked the MUA’s questions that didn’t make me sound like a total cosmephobe.
4. If you could go back one year, to this time, what would you change?
I had just found out I was pregnant… 9 months goes so quickly (and slowly) at the same time. I would have made more of an effort to document my pregnancy.
5. Tell me a secret?
Sometimes I get up in the middle of the night, just to make sure that the internet is still there. Ok, I don’t really.. but I did dream that I did exactly that the other night. Freak.

1. What’s wrong with me? After months of having clear skin, the nasties are back! I’m on Proactiv now and I hope it will bring good results.
2. What’s right with me? I am quite lucky at winning various giveaways.
3. If I could go back to last week, what would I change? I wouldn’t have gone to the mall on a Monday, walk around aimlessly and then eat frozen yogurt which I had to line up for because there’s too many freaking people on that goddamn huge mall!
4. If I could go back one year, to this time, what would I change? I would probably have taken the job that was practically handed on my lap. Note, this is a teaching job and a low paying one at that.
