November She Said Beauty box - first impressions


Firstly, I apologise for how late this is. I've been pretty busy with university related stuff and it's also been my birthday. Sorry!

I've been subscribed to She Said Beauty since April of this year. To me it feels like a little present each month and I really love presents. I chose She Said Beauty as it seemed to be the most consistent in providing  products that I'd be interested in using and with the exception of one box it has confirmed that I made the right decision. Here are my first impressions on the November box.

October haul (MAC, Urban Decay, Topshop, Forever 21 and more)


So it's now November and I decided I'd do a haul post on what I bought during October. I love reading other people's hauls and seeing what they've bought so I thought I'd have a go at doing my own. These are my bigger purchases from the month, enjoy!

I've got straight edge! Kind of...‏


 

  Baggy jeans, band t-shirts, big black hoodies and bangles up to my elbows. That was my general appearance when I was eleven years old. I'd always been somewhat different from other girls. Growing up, when all the other kids around me were getting baby dolls that did all but defecate, I played alone with my humble model post office. As I got older I got into wrestling and even traded video recordings of the pay per views with a fellow eight year old sports entertainment enthusiast after school. Of course, he was male. None of my female friends were as interested in seeing grown men get hit with foil dustbin lids as I was. I think wrestling was what sparked my interest in alternative music, many wrestlers had themes that were quite rock-based and I enjoyed them. After listening to a number of generic metal bands whose shirts are always available in your local HMV I started to delve a bit deeper into the alternative scene and that was when I found what I'd been waiting to hear, punk.
