L'oReal Infallible Matte;

Finding a great foundation for me is a difficult task. My skin is usually oily but can be dry, I can suffer from breakouts which I want to cover up but I still like my skin to look like skin. I ask a lot from foundation which is why I've never repurchased one... But the L'oReal Infallible 24 Hour Matte may be a game-changer.
Reviews of this have been flying around the Blogosphere for the last few months. It claims to be a matte, light finish that is not cakey and lasts 24 hours. The first thing I noticed was the formula of this, while not being watery it has a thin texture and a light weight feel on the skin. This makes blending effortless and quick. Every time I apply this (I've been using it for nearly 2 months now) I'm surprised by the coverage. I'd say the coverage is medium-high, and I find myself using a lot less concealer with this foundation. With this being matte it isn't best designed for those with drier skin, and I have used it on a couple of occasions when I've had some dry patches. The product clings to the drier areas of your face, but for those of us that suffer with odd bouts of dehydrated skin I don't think this makes it look any worse than bare, dry skin (especially compared to a lot of matte foundations). After application this does mattify, but it doesn't feel heavy and doesn't flatten your skin. Something that also stands out (amongst everything else) is the longevity of this. I used to wear a primer to keep my makeup on all day and keep my face matte, but I tested this out without one and have stuck to it because it lasts so well without. It doesn't wear off patchy and last weekend I applied this at 8 am it was still virtually perfect when I got in at 1 the next morning. When I wear this for a full day I only powder once throughout, which is a real triumph on my skin as usually after the first reapplication of powder everything will go cakey and I'm shiny again within a couple of hours.
Out of every foundation I've ever tried L'oReal Infallible Matte is the one I will whole-heartedly recommend, it ticks all of the boxes for me, its even under £10!

October Favourites;

October is finally over. Having started my new job and getting stuck in with my studies it has been one heck of a long month! And these are the things that I have loved throughout it.
First up is the Vaseline Spray & Go Moisturiser. I feel like this is more of a summer product as its really cooling and the added Aloe Vera in this scent is great for sunburnt skin. But I'm still using and loving this now. Its so easy to use, just spritz yourself all over and this requires barely any rubbing in or drying time. Which I think is fab for chilly mornings when you don't really want to be standing around starkers waiting for your moisturiser to absorb.
The last month or so my skin has been (if I do say so myself) fantastic, and I owe is all to these cleaners. I've been wearing makeup everyday for work, which means I've actually stuck to a very simple skincare routine. I firstly use my Garnier Micellar Water to remove my makeup, I like this because its effective, but gentle. I have quite sensitive skin and this doesn't irritate it at all, I can even use it to remove my eye makeup without it stinging my eyes and it makes light work of removing my mascara. After this I like to further cleanse to remove any missed makeup and remove bacteria from my skin underneath it. I think sticking to this step is what has greatly improved my skin. Lately I've been using this Cleansing Lotion from Simple. This is one of the first cleansers I ever used and I still go back to this because it works and it keeps my skin soft and smooth. Being a lotion it never dries my skin out. I take this on my hands and massage it into my skin, which is really relaxing rather than being harsh like some cleansers. I then remove it with a cotton pad. I've only had about 5 spots in the last month so I'm definitely doing something right!
I rarely talk haircare, but I can't not mention my new Tangle Teezer. My hair is the kind of knotty that has had me on the brink of tears more times than I care to admit, but I didn't buy into the Tangle Teeze hype because I didn't think how any one brush could be that good. In fact I still don't how, but it really is. This brush doesn't eradicate knots, however the flexible bristles allow you to work through them without repeated and endless tugging. The one thing I did worry about was the short bristles and my thick hair, but running my hand through it has done its job from top layer to bottom. Not having a handle is still taking some getting used to for me, but the shape does fit really well into my hand. I can use this wet, dry, to style, to create a part, or to section my hair. This means I no longer have the need for 6 brushes because this one really does it all.
For makeup this month I have been going back to basics, I get up a lot earlier in my new job, so I have just enough time in the morning to make myself look like a well rested, organised individual when I am most definitely not. I have been using my Smashbox eyeshadow trio nearly every week day. I usually go for a little more exciting shades, but these are office appropriate and really good quality. Even the lightest is shade is really pigmented enough that I've worn it alone when I'm in a rush, which I find rare. These last all day without fading or creasing. As for lips I've finally cracked open this Lip Primer I bought myself in April. I was definitely intrigued by the prospect of a lip primer and am a little disappointed to report that it doesn't add greatly to the wear-time of your lipstick. However it does have a silicone feel that smooths your lips and dries almost semi-matte. This makes it the perfect balm to apply under lipstick because the colour doesn't slide around like it does with other balms. This Lip Primer has also been a favourite of mine because it actually leaves your lips feeling moisturized for most of the day even under your lippy. My lip colour for pretty much every week day has been this PS Love Lip Liner. This liner is just darker than my natural lips so its subtle enough to wear to work, but leaves me not feeling like makeup is not too 'Plain Jane'. This is a slightly dark, berry pink, with grey-ish undertones, which I really like as it makes the lip colour pop just the right amount. Being a liner it has a matte finish, it doesn't last all day, but when it wears off evenly and for £1 I think its fab.

And breathe, I think that's it for another month of beauty favourites, what have you loved this month?

Lip Lava;

Something I've been meaning to talk about for the longest time are these Lip Lavas from I <3 Makeup. When these first came out they were so super hyped, that I didn't jump to ordering them. They almost looked a little too good to be true, but I've totally fallen for them and here's why.

Lip Lava's are liquid lipsticks in a squeezy tube that you apply through a sponge applicator, kind of like some lip glosses. Except they're completely different. These have been named £2.99 dupes of Too Faced Melted Lipsticks and I can completely see why even without trying them. The formula is like a lipstick left in the sun, glossy but still thick. I'm not sure if its down to formula or application, but although being glossy they don't feather around the edges at all when you apply. They go on evenly to give you a pigmented lip colour, like you'd get with any lipstick. When first applied they are glossy. But with wear it fades to matte look that lasts longer than any lipstick I have. This doesn't budge even with eating and drinking. These are my go-to night out lip colours as you don't have to worry about reapplication and they feel comfortable all night. I once experienced flaking but that was due to applying gloss over the top, and this faded the colour as well. My only other issue is that they're simply aren't enough shades... Hint, hint.

My favourite shade is Firestorm, which is a pillarbox red. This is the only red lip I can wear anywhere because I don't have to worry about touching it up.

Shockwave is a cool toned fuschia purple. I'm still not sure if I can pull this off but its definitely unique.

Forgiven is a brown toned nude. I think this ticks the box of the 90's lip trend, but I think it would be better suited to someone with a darker skin tone that my own.

Tremor is the perfect medium pink that is perfect for everyday.


Unleash is another bold one, its a gorgeous orange that I think would be great over summer.

You can buy these from the Makeup Revolution website alone or as a set.

Rosewood;

Two of my favourite things to watch are Pretty Little Liars and Velvetgh0st. So when this lipstick named Rosewood (where PLL is set) from Max Factor was given Gabby Lindley's seal of approval I knew I had to have it.
The packaging alone is gorgeous, its made from metal. The lid is a frosted gold colour, with the inside being a shinier gold. This is easily one of the most luxurious lipsticks from the drugstore. There's also a clear panel at the bottom which we all know is super handy when you're rummaging around your lipstick collection. The colour of this a pretty natural lip colour, with a reddish tint. This goes on really smoothly, and feels moisturising on the lips. It has a shiny finish, but isn't glossy or sticky. The colour also stays on your lips for a really long time. I think both the consistency and longevity of this lipstick make it feel more high-end than drugstore and I really want to get my hands on some more Max Factor lippies!

August... & September Beauty Favourites;

I've had a couple of super busy months, and finally broke my chain of favourites. I've been away twice and spent a lot of time with my friends before going back to my studies. I also celebrated my results, which I am really proud of. As well as attending my first festival and getting a new job. Unfortunately that means my blog has been a little quiet, so I've compiled everything that I've loved over the 2 months for a super favourites!
My only skincare favourite is this moisturiser from Natural Collection at Boots. I put another scent of this in another favourites post and this one is just as good. This is thicker than your average daily moisturiser, but no so thick that it's hard to rub in. It makes your skin feel so much softer and I can still feel the effect of this the day after use.
Moving onto makeup I have to mention this Smashbox Eye Primer again. This stuff doesn't budge or crease and is festival tried and tested. I applied this at 10am and my eyeshadow was still perfect when I stumbled back to my tent at 3am and it even kept loose glitter on my lids!
I also picked up this Rimmel Liquid Liner a little while ago. I tend to prefer potted liner over pen as I find its blacker and lasts so much longer. This is pure black and doesn't dry too matte but also isn't super shiny which is great. The brush on this is super thin making it great for precision and you can create thin lines or build it up. I still don't always get it right but it's easy to remove when wet but will not budge when it has dried.
When I'm not using liquid liner I like to use this Brown Avon Glimmerstick smudged across my lash line for a softer look. I really like these as they're the longest lasting liners I've ever tried.
My favourite palette this month has been my Makeup Revolution Iconic 2 Palette as its so versatile. The deep and shimmery browns are great to create smokier looks for daytime. There are also some cool-toned shadows which aren't usually my cup of tea, but the taupes and greys look lovely for nights out! All of the shades are pigmented and last all day and night with a good primer!
My next favourite is from a Ted Baker makeup set that I was bought for Christmas last year and while most of it was pretty crap I've actually been reaching for the brow pencil a lot recently. I've got to admit that it's not the best I've ever tried, however it isn't too waxy and is a nice cool toned medium brown. It's about the only thing that matches my 'I'm too lazy to dye my hair'.
The last makeup item that I've been loving over the past 2 months has been my Mac Lipstick in Pink Plaid. This is an all-time favourite of mine. Its a middle-of-the-range shade of pink, with cool, grey undertones that makes it understated as well as unique.  I've been reaching for it a lot lately because I think it really offsets the smokier eye looks that I've been going for.
My last favourite is the handbag I bought last month, I had to mention it because I love it and it only cost me just over £20. I live close to Clark's Village which is home to a lot of retail outlets, so I managed to get this heavily reduced from £60. I love it because the darker blue it makes it perfect for Autumn and the snakeskin is unique. Its also the perfect size, large enough to fit alot in it. But not quite enough for the kitchen sink.

What have you been loving lately?

My One Product Brows;

Brow products have taken the beauty world by storm in the last year, yet due to a recent buy I have simplified my brow routine completely. That product is MUA's Brow Define Tinted Brow Mascara (wow that was long winded).
As you can probably gather, this is a tinted mascara for your brows, mine is in the shade Dark. Benefit and Maybelline among other brands also sell these, but MUA's version is just £2. To apply this I just comb it through my brows. I'd be careful to use a light hand, as if you smudge any it can tint the skin which is a nightmare to clean up. Luckily the brush is fairly small which adds to precision. The tint defines your brows, which is plenty enough for me. If you have sparse brows this might be more of a product to layer with others. The brush it also helps to groom my eyebrows into the perfect shape, and keeps them there all day just like a clear mascara. This product does pretty much everything I want to my eyebrows in one, other than pluck them!

September Primark Haul;

So, yeah... Primark happened, again. I've said it many times but I think Primark has become my favourite store. I seem to be going in more and more and not coming out with clothes, so I thought I'd show you what I picked up this time.
Up first is this PS Makeup Fixing Spray. For me, fixing spray is an essential. With it you can afford to wear a  foundation that isn't so long lasting and for £2 I couldn't not pick this up. This really is like hairspray for your face as its in an aerosol can. When applying this I felt like it was going on uneven and as its aerosol its not nice to breathe in. But it did lengthen the wear-time of my base and keep it looking fresher, and really it worked just as well as any other I've used.
I also picked up a Make-Up Brush Cleanser, this is the kind of product that you spray directly onto your brushes. I'd use this as a spot cleaner and still give my brushes a good shampoo once a fortnight (ok maybe once a month). When spraying this it smells like synthetic fruit and a little chemically if I'm honest. But it did do a good job of removing the visible product on my brushes, as well as cleansing away the germs from my face, even my foundation brush looked almost as good as new! And if you use this in the evening your brushes will be dry and ready to go by morning.
Moving onto makeup I got a PS Lip Liner Pencil, with no actual shade name. This is a gorgeous deeper pink with grey-ish undertones. This was only £1 and it applies easily as its quite a creamy feeling liner. As it has a matte finish it lasts quite a while on the lips too, and I think shade will be lovely for Autumn.
The last thing I got from the ever-expanding beauty section was this deep cleansing pad. Its basically a rubber pad with soft, flexible bristles. It also had a suction pad onto back to stick to your shower. I thought this would be great to work cleansers deeper into my skin, as well as exfoliate. It beats using your hands, right?

I also picked up yet another candle from Primark, The Orange Sunshine Soda jar candle. I really love their jar candles as their only £3, they smell gorgeous, and you can reuse the jar. As you can guess by its name, this smells really fresh and just like oranges. This was probably more suited for summer but I couldn't resist it, and its a lovely, light scent for any room at any time of year.

Have you picked up any goodies from Primark recently?

Rock It!

Today I want to talk about a product that I've been having a long-term love affair with.
Benefit's boxed blushes are iconic in my opinion, yet Rockateur is the only one I own. I pretty much fell in love with it from the first promo photo I saw.
 This is my favourite blush (so far) I think the shade is perfect. Rockateur is a warm toned peachy and pink blusher, it's pretty much everything rolled into one which is why I think it would suit most skintones. It looks great with warm toned eyeshadow and a red lip, I also love wearing this in the colder months to warm my pale complexion. Oh my, the shimmer in this. It's not full of chunky glitter but there's no need for highlighter after.
The only thing I thought let this down at first was the pigmentation. For around £30 I expected this have pack a little more punch, I've definitely tried drugstore blushers that are a lot more pigmented than this. However I've grown to love that about Rockateur. It's great for those of us with a heavy hand, or pale skin as you can't really overdo it. You can pop just a little on, or you can really build this up. But when it is one it definitely stays put a lot longer than drugstore blushes.
The packaging is another thing that makes these blushes so iconic. Of course the hint is in the name, as they come in a little box. The packaging is cardboard but surprisingly durable, it closes with a magnet and even has a small mirror on the inside. Rockateur is golden snakeskin with black and pink lace and chain detailing. It is literally a rockstar looking blush. I know its not all about the packaging but this does look great on a vanity or in your makeup bag. Its just another addition to Rockateur being fantastic.

Warner Bros Studio Tour;

I've been pretty busy the past month, so I thought I'd make up for the lack of posts by showing you something I got up to. A few weeks ago me and my family travelled up to London to visit what we call Harry Potter Land for the second time (we used the excuse of needing to see the Hogwarts Express).

If you haven't been, the studio tour displays sets from the Harry Potter film franchise, along with behind the scene info on how everything came together. We got to experience the Summer Sweet Treats event and got shown how they made all of the delicious looking banquets from the films from not-so-delicious resin. You get to hear all about the special effects and see the anamontronics that gave you Hagrid and Dobby and a heap of other magical beasts. There is also a collection of artwork and models of all the sets which are truly fantastic. You can also try flying a broomstick or enchanted car with photo ops at both! I had great fun with my sister's HP Passport (included with a child's ticket) I got to some unique embossed stamps and found 13 hidden golden snitches. It was also the summer sweet treats event when we went so we got to see how they made delicious looking food from the movies from not-so-delicious resin! 

One of my favourite parts is the shop, it really is a HP Haven. You can get anything from £300 model chess sets (my mum's favourite) to themed tea towels. There's a whole section dedicated to Pygmy puffs and pesky piskies, and even death-eater themed items of you're that way inclined. 
You can deck yourself from head to toe in Hogwarts uniform, it you can bear to part with £75 for a robe (I already have a scarf from last time I visited). But I can't bear to leave without a Chocolate Frog and some Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans.

Disappointing Products (& Better Alternatives);

Being honest most products that I don't like go straight in the bin, because I don't like looking at the money I've wasted and I don't particularly like writing a blog post on something I don't enjoy. However I've collected a few that disappointed me so I can show you, in my opinion some better alternatives.
 My first disappointing product will be the one that causes most controversy, but the Maybelline Color Tattoos just didn't work for me. When I first apply this they go on well, not the most difficult to blend but not easy either. However they look great, absolutely perfect... For the first 3 hours. After that it creases so bad on me that all of the product has almost disappears. When I tried to blend it back out I was left with nothing on my lids. I tried to work with this by purchasing a matte shade and by setting it with powder eyeshadow, which did set it for longer, but it still creased and took my entire eye look with it. For that reason I find it pointless to use. I almost gave up on cream shadows completely after these as I'd read such great reviews, but I decided to pick up a Mac Paintpot. I know price wise there's quite a bit of difference between this and the Color Tattoos, but sometimes you get what you pay for. This is pretty much everything I expected from the Color Tattoos. When applying the Paintpot blends beautifully. It can be warn alone for a simple eye look, and any eyeshadow warn on top really pops especially shimmery shades. And it lasts all day, no smudging, no creasing. I reviewed this in full here.
I love Makeup Revolution and it's not often they get it wrong however their Blushing Hearts Triple Baked Blush in the shade Blushing Heart didn't do it for me. These blushes have 3 shades that you swirl together. The lilac and peach shades are beautiful, lovely pigmentation and just the right amount of shimmer. However the pink, and of course largest shade, is completely different. This is full of chunky silver glitter that overpowers the pigmentation of the shade. When all 3 are used together it looks fake and kinda like kids makeup. You can't really avoid dipping your brush into the pink shade and the glitter shows through the other 2. I was so disappointed with this as it was super hyped on Instagram before its release, and it looks so gorgeous. I've only kept it because the packaging is so stunning and it looks great in photos or on your dresser. I've read great reviews on some of the other shades, but I definitely wouldn't recommend this one. I had hoped this would be similar to MUR's single baked blushes, which I have in the shade All I Think About Is You which I reviewed in full here. This really pigmented and had just the right about of gold shimmer that doesn't look fake. It gives a lovely glow without overshadowing the gorgeous pink blush shade. Yes, the packaging isn't as spectacular, but it's half the price so I'd recommend getting two of these over the Blushing Heart.

P.S. Love Your Nails;

So you've just painted your nails, it took nearly an hour but even the left hand looks perfect. But now you need the loo, desperately, and you're wearing jeans, and you know how stiff the zip is on this pair... we've all been there. Primark's beauty range P.S. Love have tried to tackle this with their Nail Polish Fast Dry Spray.
The idea is that you paint your nails, then spray them all with this, wait 60 seconds and bam you have dry nails. I've tried a few of these sprays and it can be a little trickier in reality. The spray is oily and (I guess) it reacts with your polish in a way that dries it. This can pose problems, I usually stick my hands out of a window (yes, really) to spray this or it can make a bit of an oily mess on your counter tops. Then for the 60 secs you wait, do not touch anything. Also with the oil it I find you have to wash it off or again everything you touch will become oily too. I've also learned not to use it between layers as oil on your previous layer can make your polish bumpy and bubbly.
After a minute your nails are almost foolproof. You can put cardigans and coats on without worry. However it isn't 100% dry, if you get caught up in a tricky zip or something you can still chip. But out of all the sprays I've tried, this is the nearest to perfect. I've used it a handful of times and only chipped two nails so far. I wouldn't expect this to be revolutionary but 89p it definitely speeds up the nail painting process.

Smash Box Try It Kit;

Sample sets are one of my favourite things for higher end brands. You get to try out the products without commiting to spending tens of pounds on the full size. Usually the samples are pretty generous and you usually make a saving when buying the set. I got this one from Smashbox for just £13.50 from my local Cosmetics Company Store. I really suggest checking out The Cosmetics Company Store if you come across one. They're full of higher priced brands for lesser price, of course they're full of odd shades of eyeliner and a most things are at least a season old, but you can find some real bargains.
This Smashbox set contains four of their best-selling products. The first of which is their famous Photo-Finish Primer. This is a silicone based primer but feels a lot smoother and the consistency is lighter than most others that I've tried. It feels moisturising on the skin and a little goes a long way. Before applying foundation it doesn't have much effect, it doesn't mattify or make your pores look smaller. However it does help foundation blend in easily. I found wearing this my base did look freshly applied, whilst looking almost dewy but without any shimmer. This isn't ideal for me as I have oily skin, and although I felt less oily than I do without primer, dewy is a look I stay away for. I think this would be better for people with drier skin, but it is great for flat looking matte bases or foundations that become cakes throughout the day.
There is also Smashbox's 24 Photo-Finish Eye Primer. I've only ever used a liquid primer, and this has the consistency of a cream shadow except squeezed from a tube. This blends into the lids until it feels as though there is nothing there. This primer claims to intensify the colour of shadows, which I was a little dubious of as I've never tried a primer that has done that. However even when applying pigmented eyeshadows this brightens the colour and makes it pop! Not to mention that this makes your eye look last all night, no matter what you're doing there will not be a single crease. This is the thing I am most impressed with and really want the full size of. This sample is 4g which I think is generous for an eye primer.
Next up is a mini Full Exposure Mascara. The wand on this is a super thick brissle wand, which isn't what I usually go for but I find the wand grabs every lash. This mascara really lengthens and seperates your lashes. It gives you really fluttery defined eyelashes. However it's not the best for volume, but makes a great base if you like to layer mascaras. I think it makes an amazing lower lash mascara. It also lasts all day without flaking or smudging.
The last thing in the set is this little eye palette, with 3 neutral matte shadows. I was pretty surprised to see this in a set as they're not usually including in samples. I think it's a great size as you can travel with it easily and I never use full eyeshadow pans. I also love the packaging and the shadows pull out from the side! These shades can make a great look, but I'll probably use it as more of an accompanying palette. The three shades you get are: Vanilla which is a matte creamy colour, Sabel which is a beige-y brown that is great for the grease, and Sumatra which is a dark chocolatey matte shade. All of the shades very pigmented, even vanilla and they last all night especially when paired with the primer. 

All items worn here.

Project 10 Pan Update #1;-

So it's been nearly 2 months since I posted my Project 10 Pan and I've finished up a few of the items so I should probably update you.
 I'm gonna jump straight in and say that I have used up my N-Spa Coconut Body Butter. It's all gone and thank god, this stuff is good but it's thick and takes a long time to dry. I got this in a gift set and I'm glad it's gone as I have a few gift set moisturisers to use up.
As for my Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer, I have used this every time I apply makeup. At first I was using this on blemishes as well as my under eyes but it doesn't have the best coverage for that purpose. I feel as if this should be close to being done, but I literally have no way to tell!
Moving onto eyes I have my Revlon Eyeshadow Primer, well actually I don't anymore. I feel like I'd been using it forever but only a week ago I tried to click up more product and there was none! I'm so happy with myself for this as I'd had it a while, however I loved this up until its last use and I definitely recommend this as a drugstore eye primer.
My Rimmel White Eyeliner has been moving fast, I have sharpened this a lot since my original post. I've been trying to use it to brighten my waterline and tear duct most days, and I think its about an inch shorter than it was. That being said there's a lot of product still left to use.
Another product that is completely gone is the Soap and Glory Supercat Liner. This lasted a surprisingly long time for a felt pen, I also stored this upside down to make it last a little long. But the line is no longer as black as it was and it takes a fair few swipes to be opaque so I'm gonna call it done.
The Benefit High Beam tester is going to be more difficult to use up than I thought. I've found this a little tricky to blend so I've started using it before foundation which gives a nice effect, and I tend to use more than way. This has 1/3rd left, but this will be a challenge as you don't need a lot of this.
Onto lips, up first is my Popcorn Lip Scrub from LUSH, I have used this every single time I apply makeup and there's still about half left. I think this is the thing I will struggle most to finish up.
But I did manage to finish my Maybelline Baby Lips in Pink Punch, this is also the first lip balm I've ever finished. That doesn't mean its my favourite I just wanted it gone! There's still a little left however I can't apply it without scratching my lips so I'm calling it done.
My Topshop Lip Bullet in Tamed has become my new handbag lippy so I can apply and reapply it throughout the day. That tactic has really helped me as I've nearly finished it, and I haven't really forced myself into wearing it everyday.
The last product is also empty, this is or was the Sexy Motherpucker Lipgloss from Soap and Glory. Although there looks like there is still some left, virtually nothing is transferred onto the lips when applied. Although I love this I'm glad to see it go as the applicator had broke and I have a ton of 'free gift' glosses that need using.

I just thought I'd end by telling you how my spending ban is going, which suprizingly is great. Once you get your mind set into asking yourself whether you need something it almost becomes second nature. I know I have more makeup than I need so I just try to remind myself of that. I did struggle at first, but I talked myself out of it. I'm just making sure to delete any e-mails of offers from brands that I'm on the mailing list, as they can really drag you in and I've been tempted on a number of occasions. I did treat myself to a new liquid liner, but I did need that as I used mine up. But I didn't actually spend anything as I had some Boots points saved up!
I hope some of you join me on your own Project 10 Pan.
