The winner is... me!

thisluckyangel had another lucky day recently as part of 'Freebie Friday' on facebook. Not to be greedy, but this is the second Freebie Friday I have won in the last couple months! But this time, I was lucky enough to win a pack from Beauty Kit. One happy and lucky Angel.

I love entering (and winning of course!) competitions. It was really exciting to see my name next to 'And the winner is...' ME! Yay!

The pretty package that arrived in the mail

My free goodies

The make-up brush kit

Cream samples

Sweet little card

I'm pretty keen to try out all their cream samples, particularly the night cream - I like trying out all the different brands. They also sent me a bottle of primer and a tube of moisturiser, so will give these a go too. But mostly I was super excited to get the make-up brushes, never had a good set before! And they came in a cute little travel pack too. I'm not the best at applying make-up, but this will give me a chance to experiment now I have some decent brushes to use. :)

Wool that's on the lacey side...

New out this season (well new to me anyway!) is wool you can get that has the lace factor already built-into the yarn itself, giving it quite an interesting effect.

The lacey yarn

Instructions came with the lacey ball on how to make a scarf. It is quite different to knit with - no wrapping around the needle required. Instead you insert your needle into the already made loops - through the back of one, then the front of the next one. Then you basically loop the loops together. A set of good pointed needles is definitely required!

Threading the loops onto the needle

My progress

Not sure this one will be actually something I will like to wear, but just nice to try out a different technique :)
