    She is real, you can find her on youtube (actually found her on there over the weekend when I was trying to find Eyeko reviews!) Just checked her channel and in the past couple hours she's posted ELF & Lush haul videos. So figure she's still spending!

    Kind of feel mean commenting on her spending like that when you all know I buy lots of make up ect! But I suppose the difference is I can easily afford it.

    I agree Cinny, I feel bad for all the screaming at her but she seems to be in denial about her financial circumstances. I buy lots of Lush (in fact I've just started a channel on YouTube with the aim to review every single product) but I stock up, budget for it, use vouchers and use it up before buying more.

    Noo, I'd feel really mean! She's clearly fibbing about how much she's buying though. I mean, if you're going to have a thread at least be honest.

    (another sorry for hijacking your thread Zig!!)
  • Just finished reading, yep that's the same girl I remember! No one begrudges anyone spending money on the things they like Cinny - as long as you can afford it. I'm totally shattered now, that girl has ruined my good sleep week.

    How was the presentation Ziggy?
