Friday Favourites

Blog Love:

• Battle of the Essence mascaras. now that Essence have hit Wilkos across the UK and given the love some of their mascaras receive in the blogosphere, this handy dandy list of reviews from Beauty on a Budget is pretty timely. And just added two new things to my 'to-buy' list once I've used up a couple of my stash!
• Anonymity can be both a wonderful thing and a terrible one, Skinned Cartree discussed the power of anonymity online
• New company to lust over alert! Meet Wonderland Beauty and from the stunning swatches by Emily I kind of want to cover myself in Morpheus
• Another Beauty on a Budget post! Oops. Well I think this one is an important read, about whether bloggers can be trusted to be honest, especially where PR samples are involved.
• Sometimes you just need something to fill your time, luckily Autumn Leaves wrote a great post about things to do on weekends that aren't blogging
• Brightest Bulb in the Box asked are indie shadows really cheaper than name brands?. The answer is yes, sometimes. Though I do feel I use less with indies and I'm one of those greedy people who likes having twenty different sample size shades rather than one set of bigger things.

Other things I've been loving this week:

• 25 ways to feel less lonely
• 20 ways to be good to yourself
• Blogilates! I just started the beginner programme and it's kinda fun, also killer.
• These cel shaded jeans
