Winning Streak

Winner, winner, chicken dinner!

So, it seems that I'm on a winning streak. I don't remember finding the end of a rainbow, a four leaf clover or being pooped on by a bird, but for some reason, I've been winning an awful lot lately, and not in the Charlie Sheen sense of the word.

Yesterday, I entered a fabulous competition on the Retro Birds blog to win this amazing pinup girl tea towel from Dupenny. I love Dupenny and have coveted their wares for ages so I jumped at the chance to enter this competition and I WON!!

Woohoo!

This comes just one week after winning a £5 voucher for my local farmers market on Facebook, and of course you remember my blog last week about winning Ralph the Puglicorn from Kitty's Kitschenette.

And not to mention in April when we won our "Pawsome" Pet Busineas Award.

So what do you reckon? Am I having some sort of fluke lucky streak? Is there even such a thing as being lucky?

Anyone want to rub my belly for good luck? No? Don't blame you.

Although I do have a feeling that my recent winning streak may be coming to a bitter end.

The news of my Dupenny win yesterday has really cheered me up, as I spent most of the evening nursing poor Sandy. She really doesn't seem very well and is not eating or drinking. The poor little thing looks so unhappy, and it really breaks my heart to see her like this. I don't know of she can hold on much longer but she's really trying. She's such a little fighter. She seemed to be feeling a little better after a nice long nap and even managed to drink some water, but I'm very worried as she has diahorea and this can be potentially fatal to small animals as they are so easily dehydrated. I made her a little nest in a shoe box, and kept her on my lap for most of the evening as I didn't want her to be alone. Hopefully she will be a lot better today and will return to her usual active self in no time at all.

If you could please send her some good vibes and positive wishes, I would really appreciate it.

If I am having some sort of lucky spell kindly gifted to me by the universe, I'd love a little of my luck to rub off onto Sandy so that she makes a full and speedy recovery.

Hang in there little one, I'm not ready to say goodbye just yet.

My New Pink Obsession: Rockalily Lipsticks

A few weeks ago my lovely new Rockalily lipsticks arrived in the post. I really wanted to blog about them straight away but in all honesty, I've had nowhere to wear them.

 

I've finally left the house and got a chance to test drive them for the first time so now I can tell you all about them. (Lucky you!)

 

I'm a long time Rockalily convert. I already own the Rockette and Roulette Red shades, and decided to invest in some new pinks when they went on pre-order at the beginning of June.

 

I had a really hard time choosing which shades I wanted, but as I am absolutely broke at the moment and any spare money I have is going towardsmy driving lessons, I was only going to get one.

My good intentions went out of the window as soon as I saw that Vintage Vixen was back in stock. I've wanted this shade for ages but it's a limited edition shade and I missed out on it last time it went on sale.

 

I also really wanted a bright pink. I'm usually a red lipstick girl but I wanted a bright pink to mix it up a bit and try something new. I think as I'm losing more weight I'm getting a bit braver with my makeup and wardrobe choices.

 

Here's me wearing Rockette Red during my recent trip to Disneyland in April.

I had a hard time choosing between two of the bright pinks - Poodle Pink and Pompadour Pink. I was so tempted to buy both due to their incredibly awesome names, but unfortunately my bank balance wouldn't allow it.

 

I went with the Pompadour and I'm really happy with my decision.

 

I really love both shades and have received lots of compliments when I wear them which is lovely. Pompadour Pink usually gets the most attention as its the brightest, but Vintage Vixen is probably the one I am going to wear the most as its a great versatile daytime shade and goes well with anything.

 

My new pink lipsticks go well with my neon pink skull bracelet from Little Peaches. I'm obsessed with pink at the moment!

These lipsticks are really creamy and do not feel as though they are drying your lips out at all, which is usually the case with red lipsticks or bright colours. Maybe it's something to do with the pigments but I haven't really got a clue.

 

I usually wear the red shades with a lipliner to stop any bleeding, but I haven't done this with any of the pink shades yet as I don't have a pink lipliner. Having said that, I'm really impressed with how long lasting they are, even without a liner.

 

I love my new lipsticks and I can't wait until I'm earning lots of money so that I can buy 3 of every shade. :)

 

Here's a bit of a grumpy looking picture of me wearing Pompadour Pink to my slimming group's 1st birthday party.

Thanks Rockalily for providing me with even more fabulous lipsticks. Please don't stop selling them again, because I'll probably cry in my room for at least a week.

 

Do you own any Rockalily lipsticks? Which shade is your favourite?
