Ten Day You Challenege #3


Hey guys,

Today I’ll be sharing with you my eight fears. I’m not going to say to much about these because they are pretty self explanatory.

1.       Death

2.       Losing someone I love

3.       Bridges

4.       Small spaces

5.       Mushy Peas, I’m sorry but these things really creep me out! I can’t even look at them!

6.       Heights

7.       Drowning

8.       Not being in control, I hate the feeling that something bad might happen and there is nothing I can do about it.

Join me tomorrow for Seven wants. Speak to you then!

Ten Day You Challenge #2


Hey guys,

Today I’ll be sharing with you nine things that I love.
 
 
 

1.      Firstly a fairly obvious one, that is my mam anddad. They are not together but I see them both all the time and I love them somuch.

2.      Second another fairly obvious one, my friends. Iwouldn’t say that I have a large group of friends. But the friends that I dohave are awesome and I would do anything for them.

3.      This one’s a bit soppy but it’s my boyfriend. Hehas been a huge part of my life now for almost seven years and I don’t knowwhere I would be without him.

4.      Cups of tea. I fully believe that there is noproblem that can’t be solved over a steaming cup of tea.

5.      Kit Kats, my ultimate favourite chocolatebiscuit. I must admit I’m not a big chocolate fan but I could eat Kit Kats untilthey were coming out of my ears.

6.      Nail Varnish! Pretty self explanatory really.

7.      Cheesy Pop tunes. I absolutely having a good oldsing song (out of tune I must admit) to some really cheesy songs.

8.      Animals, this goes for literally all animals.

9.      Summer days spent sunbathing in the garden witha good book and an ice cold glass of coke.

 
See you tomorrow guysfor eight fears.

Ten Day You Challenge


Hey guys,

I was reading the lovely Zoe’s blog the other day andnoticed that she was taking part in the Ten Day You Challenge.  I thought this looked like a reallyinteresting tag and a good way to give you a better understanding of the thingsI love. So here goes:
 
 
 

Ten Secrets

1.      I am rubbish with money. Really rubbish, I get tooexcited about buying things and often forget that I actually have bills to pay!Oops.

2.      I find myself hilarious! Most of the time I’mthe only one laughing at my jokes because everyone else thinks they’re pants.

3.      I am definitely an early bird; late nights arenot for me! I’m pretty much always fast asleep before 11pm (what a party animalI am) and always up at about 8am.

4.      I am slightly OCD. I like things in a straightline and size order and if they get moved it really bugs me.

5.      I can’t stand watching anything that involvesviolence or blood or gory things. It really creeps me out and I have to hide myface.

6.      I treat my dog as if he’s an actual human baby. Reallyit’s quite sad, he gets lots of cuddles and kisses and sleeps on the bed withme.

7.      I’m a total bookworm. I love nothing more thanspending a full day just sat reading. I’ve just finished reading the Hunger Gamestrilogy (which was amazing by the way) and I’m now reading Cecelia Ahern’s Thanksfor the memories.

8.      I am a clothes size 14 and only 5”6 L

9.      My biggest weakness in life is crisps, allcrisps any flavour I love them all!

10.  I love making lists. To do lists, wish lists oranything really. The only trouble I have is sticking to them!
 
See you guys tomorrow for nine loves!

August Favourites

Hey guys,

So I'm back with another monthly favourites post. I know I've said it before but these really are some of my favourite posts to see and do. I was on holiday for two weeks of July so my makeup tended to be the same, which is why I didn't do a monthly favourites for July. So I'm back with one for August.




Body shop strawberry shower gel: I LOVE this product. The smells to die for, it's so delicious. It leaves my skin soft and nourished and its a joy to use. I had a small travl size of this that I did take on holiday so literally most of July as well as August, I used this product every day.

Soap and glory cleansing wipes: so this month I've been feeling really lazy when it comes to taking my make up off. Yes, I understand all the benefits of making sure you take it off properly but really who can be bothered with that EVERY night, not me that's for sure. I have tried loads of wipes ranging in price but these have to be my favourite. Some other wipes might take my make up off but they don't really make me feel like my skin is clean. where as these wipes really do. They feel like they slightly exfoliate my skin as well which I really enjoy.

MAC Impassioned: I really love this colour! This was the second ever MAC lipstick I'd ever bought and I do go through fazes with it where I don't wear  it for weeks and then wear it every day. I am aware that it is quite a bright colour but I still find it very wearable.

Natural Collection Blush:These blushers are really nice. I will admit that the staying power isn’t great but it’s small enough to carry around with you for touch ups. The best thing about these blushers though, is definitely, the price. They are only £1.99! Another thing is that Natural Collection have a really nice range of colours to choose from, so everyone can find something to suit their skin tone.
 
Soap And Glory Righteous Butter : I know that Soap and Glory products are featuring quite a bit on this blog, but the reason for this is because I am obsessed. Literally there is not a Soap and glory product that I’ve tried that I haven’t loved. The Righteous Butter is a classic product that most people have heard of. The reason for this is because it is amazing!  I love having a nice relaxing bath and then smothering myself in this (nice image for you there). It leaves my skin completely moisturised and so soft. The only thing I would say about this product is it is quite heavy, so I would recommend putting it on for bed rather than first thing on a morning.  
Beauty Blender: Okay so this isn’t actually the infamous Beauty Blender, it’s actually an eBay dupe. However it’s almost the exact same thing, one edge is round and one is pointed and I’m pretty sure they do the same job.  This has made me monthly favourites because I honestly don’t know how I ever did my makeup before I had this. Everyone needs one of these in their life! It makes my foundation apply so flawlessly and makes it look really natural. I literally cant rave about this product enough.
 
So there you go, another monthly favourite although I am still in denial that it is actually September. What do you think? What are your favourite products this month?

Seven Deadly Sins Tag


Hey guys,
So today I’m going to do one of the most popular tags in the beauty world and that is the seven deadly sins. This tag has been floating around for a while so I thought it was about time I had a crack at it.

GREED: What is your most inexpensive beauty item? What is your most expensive?
The most expensive beauty item that I own would be my Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette although I received this as a gift for my 21st Birthday. So the most expensive item that I bought was my Chanel Vita Lumiere Aqua foundation. The most inexpensive would have to be my Collection 2000 blushers, they do a great range of colours for only £1.99, bargain.

WRATH: What beauty products do you have a love/hate relationship with? What product has been the hardest to get?
The product that I have a love hate relationship with is No7 Exquisite Curl Mascara. I love this mascara because it really curls and lifts my eyelashes. I hate this mascara because I think I am allergic to it, after about an hour of wearing it my eyes get really sore and itchy and water like mad, bad times.  The only product that I used to have a problem getting were Essie Nail polishes, I had always wanted to try them but I was so dubious about buying them online because you can never be completely sure that the colour you can see is the colour you will get. However this problem has been solved, thank you boots!

GLUTTONY: What is your most delicious beauty product?
This is a really strange question because who eats beauty products? In terms of smell I love anything from Soap and glory especially their shower crèmes and body butters.

SLOTH: What beauty product do you neglect, due to laziness?
I would definitely have to say primer. In all honesty, most mornings, I just can’t be bothered with primer. Unless I’m planning to do a full day without being able to touch up my makeup I don’t really see the point in primer, because I don’t have particularly oily skin so my makeup doesn’t really disappear.

PRIDE: What beauty product gives you the most self-confidence?
This is a pretty obvious answer but I would have to say foundation. When I’m having a particularly bad skin day as soon as I’ve put on my foundation I feel tons better.

Lust: What attributes do you find most attractive in the opposite sex?
Again this has nothing to do with beauty but I’ll answer it anyway. I like a man who is tall, kind and funny.

Envy: What items would you most like to receive as a gift?
I don’t really like to receive beauty products as gifts because I like to be able to test products first and make sure that I get the right shades to suit my skin tone. However at Christmas and on my birthday I tend to ask for perfumes. Again I normally say which perfumes I like because I’m really picky when it comes to my scents.


So there you go guys, the infamous seven deadly sins tag. I really enjoyed taking part in this tag and I think I would like to do more tags.
