R.I.P x6, nearly 8.

Another kitten died this morning and two more are about to die.
Also, two of the older kittens (A tabby and a grey, which we were going to keep) must have got into the kitchen where the puppy was. Jessie then must of started playing with them and accidentally killed them. :( This has been a bad few days. Down to 10 from 17 and soon to be 8 :(

R.I.P :(

As some of you may know, my cats have been giving birth to a number of litters. The youngest litter of 7 kittens are not doing too well. The mum couldn't supply them with milk and rejected them. We then gave them to one of the other mums but they are still weak. Instead of looking their age (4 weeks) they look about 1 week and the other litter of kittens which are close in age are double the size. Unfortunately two of them past away this morning and another one a few minutes ago. Before it died, I tried warming it up, getting one of the mums to feed it, but it just wasn't suckling as it was too weak. It was heart breaking knowing I couldn't do anything to stop the slow death of the little creature. There are now four left and I don't think a few of them will make it. Sorry for the depressing post but I just needed to write this down. I know to some people this isn't something massive to cry over and get upset about but I love animals so much and look at them as other human beings.

True colour of the coat.

Cacti!

I had better quality pictures but they got deleted. So anyways, here are my cacti!



The cacti are from my local florists for 99p. I've had them a year and they have grown loads!
The plant pots and dishes are from Wilkinsons. I can not find the prices but they were around 20-30p each.

I thought I'd add this picture I took too because the flowers are so pretty!


Oh & I did have pictures of my Cyclamen (A flower, which looks like its turned inside out!) but I have lost the pictures :(. Search Cyclamen to see what they look like, their very pretty.

Natural Collection Haul & Reviews

A few months ago I purchased 6 products from Natural Collection. 3 for £5 - cheap as chips!

From left to right: Nail Polish 'Crystal Clear', Moisture Shine Lipstick 'Candy Mist', Moisture Shine Lipstick 'Pink Mallow', Cream Blusher 'Rosy Pink', Bronzing Pearls 'Sahara Sun' & Bronzing Powder 'Golden Glow'.

Here are the swatches. From top to bottom: 'Candy Mist' Lipstick, 'Pink Mallow' Lipstick, 'Rosy Pink' Cream Blusher, 'Sahara Sun' Bronzing Pearls & 'Golden Glow' Bronzing Powder.

Lipsticks:
The lipsticks go on smoothly and don't dry your lips out. The colour pay off is quite good but the staying power isn't the best - I'm not too fussed about this because its easy to re apply and I don't mind for the price.

Cream Blusher:
I love this and want to purchase some other colours. Its so easy to apply and takes seconds - Squeeze a small amount onto your finger and then rub into cheeks like you would with a lotion. The finished result is really good, giving you that natural 'pinched cheeks' look.

Bronzing Pearls:
These give a gorgeous shimmering glow effect. This shade contains pink, yellow and purple bronzing pearls. I think the pink and yellow create the bronze colour and the purple tones it down. These are also nice for a wash of colour on the lids - very subtle but still beautiful.

Bronzing Powder:
Some bronzers can be too shimmery but I think this bronzer is just right for me. It does have some shimmer in it but I think this gives the overall effect a pearly glow. I will defiantly stick to this bronzer in the future.

I've also tried their mascara, concealer & lip gloss which again, are all great products.

Packaging: I really like the packaging, its simple and doesn't look tacky.

Would I recommend Natural Collection products?
100% yes! Each product is under £2 and is really good quality.

A little parcel (:

My parcel from pandadoesmakeup arrived :D
Thank you again!

Along with the Maybelline Colossal Volum' Express Mascara was a little note, a few cute business cards with her details on & two Barry M dazzle dust samples (The colours match the mascara!)

Here are the swatches of the samples. Left to right: Number 90, Number 76
These are a lot prettier in real life!

Maybelline Colossal Volum' Express Mascara:
I've tried this mascara a few times now & I really like it. It gives your lashes a lot of length and volume as the brush is big and packed with bristles.

Comparing it to my favourite mascara-
Collection 2000 Volume Sensation:
These mascaras are pretty similar as they both give amazing length and volume, but Collection 2000 Volume Sensation has more compact bristles on the brush and this gives your lashes that little extra length and volume. (& it is only a little extra. These mascaras are very close in comparison!)

So in conclusion, Maybelline's Colossal Volum' Express Mascara is very good and I would recommend it, but my trusty Collection 2000 Volume Sensation is that little bit better.
