Help Cinnamon Kitten spend $50 - July 2011

It's time to hear your suggestions on what I should spend July's $50 on! I had a great time looking at your June suggestions and ended up with 2 really fun products (see my previous post for more details).

Some of you also suggested a few indie brands and it was really cool to learn more about these brands (I'm even in the process of interviewing 2 of the founders!)

I can't wait to see you come up with this month - but this time, there's a twist! I want to buy something related to the colour BLUE (my favourite colour). Blue can be the shade that the product is, the colour of the packaging, or even part of the name.

Leave a comment and let me know what BLUE item I should buy this month!

My $50 spend in June

So back at the end of May, I asked you, my dear readers, to suggest some things for me to spend $50 on in June. I got some wonderful suggestions, and here's what I ended up with:

Nanoblur ($19 CAD)


tarte Amazonian clay 12-hour blush in natural beauty ($33 CAD)


So I spent slightly more than $50, but it was pretty close. Watch for reviews soon! And start thinking about what I should spend July's $50 on - I'll be asking for suggestions soon (but there's going to be a twist!)

Help Cinnamon Kitten spend $50 - June 2011

Thanks to everyone for filling out my first ever Cinnamon Kitten Reader Survey (if you haven't already done the survey, please take a few minutes and help me out)! I'm learning a lot of really interesting and useful things, and you'll start seeing changes to the blog soon (for the better, I hope!). When the survey closes in a couple of weeks, I'll share some of these changes with you.

In the meantime...I've decided to start something fun...

Not that this is a big surprise, but the majority of readers who are answering my Reader Survey said that they loved product reviews and wanted to see even more, so here's the plan...

I'm putting aside $50 every month and I want YOU to tell me what to purchase with it!

Obviously, your suggestions must be beauty-related and it would really help if the product was available in Canada so I can easily purchase it.

I know, I know, $50 isn't a lot, but I'm on a pretty tight budget and I do still have to buy my regular beauty staples (and groceries...), so $50 is all can afford right now to spend on beauty impulses. Maybe after I win the lottery we can increase the spend, deal?

So, leave a comment and let me know what I should buy this month! Maybe something you think I should definitely have? Or something you think I should review? It could be a single product that costs $50 or lots of little items that equal $50. :)

In future months, I might pick a specific theme for your suggestions (ie. a particular brand, colour or item), but for this first month, anything goes!

I can't wait to see what you suggest!!!
