5 ways to support child cancer awareness this month

One Spread the word! Make it your aim to educate at least 5 people about child cancer awareness this month. There are many images with stats and facts you could share such as the one above or take a look at the Be Child Cancer Aware campaign on Facebook.

Two Wear a gold ribbon, eyeliner or nail polish. Upload a photo to twitter or instagram with #gogold #childcancerawareness There's always a group of sinycs ready to tell you that your hastags aren't helping anybody but the entire point is to raise AWARENESS and encourage your followers to do so too.

Three Want something simple and free? Add the gold twibbon to your twitter profile pic (I believe you can do this for facebook too). It takes no time whatsoever and might just prompt a conversation. There are lots of twibbons to choose from but I use this one.

Four If you're looking to go the extra mile why not sign up to the bone marrow register or donate blood. This one isn't for everybody but if you think you can do it then sign up and you will save lives.

Five Last year TK Maxx raised over £4 million for childhood cancer research. They're taking part this year and you can get involved by donating a bag of unwanted clothes (just take it in store) or by buying a gold ribbon pin from the counter and wearing it daily to show your support. 

Do you think there's something you could do to raise awareness for Childhood Cancer this month?

30 polishes in 30 days #9: Ciate - Headliner

Ciate - Headliner 

This mini polish came in my Ciate advent calendar and this is the first time I've reached for it. It's a beautifully deep turquoise colour that dries matte but I much prefer it with a glossy topcoat. 

You can catch up with the rest of my 30 in 30 series here.

Drugstore make up haul

I don't buy make up too regularly, I'm more of a splurge every few months kinda girl rather than buying new products as and when they're released. My 'to-buy' list was getting pretty long so last weekend I took full advantage of triple points and topped up my stash.

Brow's That brow kit from Seventeen comes with a brown powder, setting wax, highlighter, pencil and a brush. The brush excluded, this kit has every thing to ensure your brow game is on point including a mirror and tips card showing exactly how it should all be used. On weekdays I do my make up on the morning commute so with that in mind I couldn't not buy this!

Bourjois Mega Liner is a felt tip eyeliner with flat tip rather than a pointy one. When it comes to winged liner I need all the help I can get so I'm hoping this is fool proof!

Seventeen Falsifeye Mascara I needed a mascara but only opted for this one because there was a 2 for £10 (or something along those lines) deal on Seventeen products. I need lengthening which it claims to do so I was sold.

Tanya Burr Lipgloss Smile, Dream, Sparkle I actually found this in the sale basket in Superdrug for 50p! Can you believe that? My local Superdrug is pretty small so I think they were getting rid of old stock to make way for her new products launched recently. It's the first TB I've owned and the smell is just divine; it's sweet like strawberries.

Boujois Rouge Edition 04 This reminds me a lot of my beloved Rimmel Kate Moss 03 lipstick. It's that nude Kylie Jenner colour and I thought it would pair really well with the lip gloss for a night time look.

Boujois La Laque in Beach Violet I hadn't even seen this range until a couple of weeks ago and it was the shape of the bottle that initially caught my eye. I was completely taken in my this colour for A/W it's a perfect deep shade for the season and perfect to off set my monochrome outfits. This month I'm doing a 30 polishes in 30 days series and I debuted this colour on the 5th. You can see that post and the rest here.

Finally, I needed some skincare bits.  Well I actually only needed some day moisturiser to replace my Clinique Dramatically Different that's recently run out. 

Nivea Daily Essentials Oil Free Moisturising Day Cream I've used this a few times in the past week and whilst it does the job and sinks into the skin perfectly before make up application, I'm not convinced it'll see me through the colder months. 

Nivea Daily Essentials Tinted Moisturising Cream is the first tinted moisturiser I've bought. I thought it'd come in handy when I just want a small amount of coverage for running errands and such or when I just want to give my skin a break (also for lazy days obviously). It was only available in one shade which put me off slightly.

Have you tried any of these products?
