20 Personal Questions

1. Thing you cannot leave the house without:
The answer to this will always be my phone- i'm just so lost without it! Also, at the moment I hate leaving the house without 'The Hunger Games' book because travelling is made to be so much more boring. I hate leaving the house without some form of vaseline or lipgloss too.

2. Favourite brand of makeup:

MAC all the way. Although, I don't use MAC dominantly. I also look MaxFactor & Sleek.

3. Favourite flower:
I'm not totally into flowers to be honest, a flower is a flower to me. Although, Lilys are pretty.

4. Favourite clothing store:
Although I've always been a Topshop kind of girl, lately I'm more into investing in pieces from American Apparel. The reason why everything is so expensive is because you can wash each thing and every time you do, they still coming out looking as though you've just bought them. This isn't the case with most other high street places! What's the point in spending £30 on a skirt from Topshop and have it starting to fade and become dull within a few washes?! I still do buy from other places, don't get me wrong, but I think about it more now instead of buying impulsively...rant over. Having said that, Zara is absolutely amazing and I've been more into buying things from there lately. The clothes just look like they've come hot off the runway.

5. Favourite perfume:

At the moment it's Carmella by Benefit. Oh my lorrrrd. That stuff is heavenly. I'll always love Alien by  Thierry Mugler, Juicy Couture and Miss Dior Cherie though.

6. Heels or Flats
Heels. Plainly because they make your legs look soooo much better. Although, I couldn't wear them all the time.

7. Do you make good grades

Yeah I did pretty well in my GCSEs to be honest. I got 15 ranging from A*-C grade. Its a shame the same can't be said for how I'm doing in AS Level at the moment -.-

8. Favourite colours:
Forest Green, Burgundy, and Seafoam Green. How precise of me

9. Do you drink energy drinks:
I loveee the taste of energy drinks but I try to steer clear from them because I know how awful they are for you

10. Do you drink juice:
Not squash. I like fresh juice though like orange and apple. I'm not a big fan of the likes of Robinson's though, I'd rather just stick to water.

11. Do you like swimming

I like to swim but I don't very often really

12. Do you eat fries with a fork
Wheres the fun in that?!

13. Favourite moisturizer:

Just Palmer's Cocoa Butter. That stuff is amazing for treating dry skin. I've used it since I was about 12 and I've never suffered from bad break out's or anything like that. I swear by it! Although, don't ever use it as a base under fake tan, it doesn't rub it properly at all (I had to learn that the hard way).

14. Do you want to get married later on in life
Only for the dress honey. Na I'm kidding. I don't really know, I like the idea of it but I've learnt through family members and seeing it happen *cough cough* Sex & The City *cough cough* that marriage can really confuse things. Suppose we'll just have to see.

15. Do you get mad easily

I like to think that I don't but people that know me would probably think otherwise. Especially my boyfriend. He's just too bloody mellow! I hate asking for something more than once, not in a spoilt way but for instance, if someone is tickling me and I tell them to stop and they don't...that reaaaally annoys me lol.

16. Are you into ghost hunting:

NO. I'd never be the same again if I saw a scary ghost. I do believe in them though, I think I saw one in my back garden when I was 7

17. Any phobias:

Death. Or dying alone. I wouldn't mind being alone when I'm older I don't think but the idea of dying alone just really really frightens me. I'm scared of nits too. Just omg let's move on.

18. Do you bite your nails:

No, ew. The dirt that collects under nails is disgusting.

19. Have you ever had a near death experience:

When I was little and I smashed my head open. I had a really strange experience where I swore I was looking down on myself in a yellow blanket on my Grandma's knee on the car. Strange, I know. No one ever believes me haaa

20. Do you drink coffee:

Too much. There's 2 cups of it to the right of me. I drink around 9/10 cups of it on a day where I'm not in College or Work. Eek, that's so bad.

Hope you enjoyed reading this and I hope I wasn't too boring! Any questions or requests, just ask! :)

Wreck This Journal

So the concept is basically to do exactly what it says on the front...wreck it! Each page gives a different instruction to help you to create a book that in the end, will be amazing to scan through.To me it just looks so fun to just have your own ideas for each page and just really get into it and make the journal look amazing. I was so impressed when I was flicking through it in Waterstones and I'm just glad someone came up with this idea because it's just generally a really fun and creative idea. I was going through pictures on Google and I was just got so bloody memorized by everyone's pages and I cannot wait to get mine. I can tell I'm gonna be spending a lot of time on this bad boy.

Some pictures showing pages that other people have done:

I saw them in Waterstones for £8.99 but they're also stocked on Amazon now.

I seriously cannot wait to get mine and I'll definitely be showing pictures of the pages i 'wreck' and I'll probably do a review/showing of my pages on my YT channel. 

So, has anyone picked one up?

(All the pictures are either taken from google or this person's tumblr)

February Favourites (& Not so good buys...)

My first MAC Blusher! This one is in 'Desert Rose' and it's just a really natural colour so I've been wearing it almost everyday since I bought it. I bought it off eBay (don't worry- it's 100% genuine) and ended up winning it for £8 instead of the original price of £17.50. If you want to see better pictures of this colour, I show those in my latest haul.

That picture is so random ^ hahaha. Well, don't my eyebrows look bushy! Oh well, I like them that way. Anyway, onto the product! I was in Boots and was looking for any clear mascara to use on my brows and this was actually the only one there so I just picked it up. So, I don't really know if there are any better clear mascara gels to be honest and I can't compare this with anything. However, it does the job so I've been loving just using this as apposed to colouring in my eyebrows. 

Been looking for a mahooosive bow and this is absolutely perfect. It's a velvet material and has a superglued comb clip at the back of it. I got this on eBay and if you're interested in buying it, you can get it here! I haven't wanted to take it out of my hair since :)

Mentioned this in my last haul. Literally wore it every day I've had makeup on my face, will continue to buy this forever. I'm not sure if you're supposed to use primer before it but I put some on then put this all over my lid and it works as a perfect base before applying my eyeshadow. I love that it doesn't crease at all and helps my eyeshadow to stay on all day. It's basically what I have been searching for since I started wearing makeup!! I may just marry it 

I got this for my birthday and I don't actually know if it has a proper name to be honest, all it says in the booklet is that it is a 'face brush with long-handle'. Oh, and it's by BareMinerals. This brush, dayyyym. It is amazing, so soft and blends face powder in beautifully. Not much else to say about it honestly but... it's just a really nice brush haha!

Now this may just look like a really boring hat but this baby has been my life-saver this past week. Boy- have I had some, shall we say, bad hair days. Long story short, I tried to dye my hair platinum blonde so I could put a purple dye on it and basically, it went yellow. Or maybe more of an orange. Generally, a colour a girl does NOT want her hair like! The sod of a hair dye is further on in this post with pictures of what my hair went like...I feel brave. Anyhoo, this specific hat is from Topman but honestly, I would have worn any hat!

Another life saver of mine this week. When my hair resembled a bottle of mustard, this shampoo took away (most) of the brassiness and helped it return to my natural colour so I could whip the hat off and just wear my hair normally. Unfortunatly, you can't buy this shampoo from any old store! If you're from England you can get this range from Savers; if not I suggest you should just search the internet!

Hello lover... I've been reading reviews on this and I agree with most who say this mascara has well and truly made it onto my holy grail list. Does what it says on the tin...lengthen's and helps to curl your lashes but also, I find it adds lots of volume. I think it can get quite clumpy BUT I love that in mascara unlike other people. I actually bend the brush like I do with all of my mascaras so that they fit my eye better. Another good thing I found about it is that it's really easy to wipe off and doesnt give that hard unmovable feel at all- BONUS! It is a bit on the pricey side, retailing at £16 but I think it's so worth it and I seriously recommend this beauty. 

Never really seen many people raving about this nail varnish but let me be one to rave! Again, does what it says on the bottle...generally strengthened my nails and took away the horrible cracks I seem to get. 

Now, onto the things that have...huff...disappointed me.

OPI, how could you?! Someone needs to take this off my hands immediately before I launch it out of my bedroom window. I think it's because it has glitter in it that it just does not crackle at all. Such a let down. Maybe I'm using it wrong?! But I mean how hard is it to just paint on top of a base coat. 

Biggest waste of money of my life. Smells putrid. Actually feels like I'm tasting/smelling hairspray and vodka mixed together. Who the hell approved this to be sold. 

WHAT?! A MAC lipstick in this part of the favourites?! Na, look closer. The bitches on eBay had me off...

Maybe the more experienced of you will notice by now...

FAKE.

Oh...wow...fabulous. Huff, I will never learn. To be honest, if this was just a normal drug store lipstick- i'd love it! The colour pay off is bloody amazing! But because it's fake MAC, it's pissed me off...

I do love the colour though hehe

I URGE YOU NOT TO BUY THIS. Ice Blonde?! Erm I think not. Thankfully, my hair is back to normal now but what a waste of money. Scroll down for a laugh...

HOW PRETTY!!! Hahahaha

Thanks for readingggggggggggg x

New Youtube!

I finally sucked it up. I finally did what I thought I would never be brave enough to do (I make it sound SO intense). I made a YouTube! If you want, you could go and have a look and maybe even subscribe ;) So click here if you want to see me making a fool out of myself! The camera quality is really quite bad but if people actually watch, I'll be using my wages to buy a better quality camera. Don't laugh :( - I'm sure I'll get better

Nails Of The Week

My Inspiration...

I tried! I found it suprisingly hard so I ended up only doing one nail on each hand and still didn't pull it off very well. How did this girl get the lines so straight?! 

I used: Heart Of Gold by Topshop, Black Art Deco by L.A Colors & Foil by Barry M

 

I personally painted the whole nail with 'Heart Of Gold' first and went over the tips with 'Foil' but I think that only worked because 'Foil' is very thick and usually covers any colour with only one coat.The, I outlined the pattern with the thin brush in the 'Black Art Deco'.

Oh dear...zoomed in makes them look terrible (oops!) but actually, I liked it! I'll definatly try it again when I have more time on my hands.

Thanks for reading!

Big Hair Risk

                               

                         

Over the past few days, I've really really been thinking about dying my hair. I'm so interested in pastel coloured hair (even if they are a bit been there, done that) and I'm sick of going to the hairdressers because they never seem to do what I ask them to do. So, I'm taking things into my own hands! I'm going to go out today and buy some bleach and hair colour. I'm thinking silver or baby pink (like pictures 6, 7 & 8). I don't think it's going to be a permanent thing but I'm just SO bored of my hair right now! 

Anyway, I'll post more updates and I'll  probably take pictures as I go along :-)

February haul

All my palettes, eyelashes and random creams were cramping up my desk a lot so I bought this organizer to try to get them all in order -it's perfect!

(Tk Maxx- £10) 

Bought this with the £5 off voucher I had because I hate dragging eye makeup off with wipes.

I love how easy it takes makeup off, although, you have to shake it for agggggges for the substance to separate which can get a little bit tedious. Apart from that, it's a good product

(Boots- £7.75 usually)

For the price, this brush cleaner is AMAZING. Especially for how much product you get (250ml). I like it for just using in the mornings if my make up brush has residue of a colour I don't want to use.Downsides? The nozzle on mine has cracked on mine already. But hey, for the price, you can't grumble.

(Elf website- £3.50)

Huff. Hate this. There is absolutely NO colour pay off; I was literally scribbling on my eyebrows and...nothing! What a waste of money, thanks a lot bareMinerals.

(Debenhams- £15)

3 of the best films ever.

(CEX- £2 each)

Hue (on the left)- Glaze finish in a peachy/nude tone. The lady recommended it to me for my skin tone and I had it on my wish list anyway!

Girl about town- Amplified finish. This shade is amazing! It's a perfect mix between red, pink and purple. It's so bright and has amazing colour pay off, as always with MAC.

(£13.50 each)

MAC Paint Pot in 'Painterly' to wear under shadows and over primer. The lady said it sets an overall tone for the whole lid and helps your makeup to stay in place. I will never go back to a time without it!

(£14)

Eyeshadow in 'Ricepaper'. Very goldy/shimmery toned shadow with white and silver flecks in. I use it as a highlight!

(£12)

Navy velvet and leather band maxi skirt that I prayed would go into the sale...and it did! Less than half price! 

It's a little bit tight (I'm usually a size 10) but I like how it hugs my figure.

(Topshop- £30)

Ahhhhhhhh. They make me excited to just look at. I can't believe in December I was going to pay £40 odd on the Motel jeans! Will be wearing with a bright tee in Spring.

(eBay- £8)

Found this beauty in the sale at Zara. The picture doesn't really do it justice though (it's gold with sparkles all over it).

(Zara- £7)

Black cotton skirt from American Apparel. Needed one just to layer with things and I loved my green version so much I bought this one too. I will never feel guilty about spending money in this shop because every time you wash the pieces, they look brand new unlike with other places. It was on sale too!

(AA- £19)

In love. So many different times when I could wear this. And the colour! Amazing. It's a bit short but oh well.

(American Apparel- £39)

Two of my favourite things for the upcoming season; emerald green and pencil skirts! Love the fit of this yet it's still a little bit loose around the bottom but I'll cope.

(Primark- £6...yes, what a bargain)

Thank you for reading all of this! Hope you like the stuff I've bought over the past few days as much as I do and I hope I've given a few of you some inspiration to buy a few bits for Spring. Not long now!
