I Heart Summer | Tag

Hello Everyone!

Seeming as it's almost time for Summer, schools are breaking out and the weathers getting warmer I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to do the I Heart Summer Tag that I sore on Christine's Blog. 

1. Favorite Summer drink?

Hm, any type of mocktail probably.

2. Favorite Summer lip product?

I've recently been using a lot of my Rimmel London 1000 Kisses in the shade 700 'Nothing But Nude' which is a really light peachy colour. I also love using The Body Shop's 100% Natural Roll On Lip balm in Coconut to give it a shine.

3. Pool or Beach?

Beach!

4. What's your must have Summer hair styling product?

I absolutely love L'Oreal Paris Studio Matt & Messy Salt Spray, lightly sprayed into the hair it gives really lose beachy waves, perfect for the Summer!

5. Sun bathing or fake tan?

Sun bathing, more natural and who doesn't like to sun bathe? 

6. Favorite Summer nail polish?

I've recently been wearing the Rimmel London 60 Seconds in the shade 842 'Too cool to tango', its a baby pastel blue which pretty much goes with anything and everything, really summery colors.

7. Any Summer traditions?

Well I used to go to a certain beach in the evenings and have a small BBQ on the beach with my family however, we haven't been for a few years so maybe not a tradition but its a fun thing we like to do now and then.

8. Favorite Summer Scent?  

I've recently been using a spray by Elle, a light fruity scent.

9. Favorite BBQ food?

For food, I'd have to say burgers! But we all know we have to say Smores!

10. Any Summer vocation plans this year?

I am traveling to Gran Canaria (Canary Islands) for a 2 week holiday, first time abroad, definitely excited!

I tag anyone and everyone that wants to do this. If you have any summer plans then let me know in the comments. 

What's your plans for Summer?

Valentines Day Questions | Tag

Hello Everyone! Firstly I'd just like to start off with saying Happy Valentines Day to you all and I hope your sharing it with a very special person, whether that's your partner or family, I hope you have a day filled with lots and lots of love. Question 1 - What is your favorite Valentines Day treats? That's a hard one, I love lots. I think hot chocolate with heart shaped sprinkles is always a winner, and lots and lots of chocolate. 
Question 2 - Sweethearts or chocolate covered Strawberry's? Chocolate covered Strawberry's, definitely.
Question 3 - What is your favorite Valentine Day memory? That would be when I used to live with my Mum and Nan in the same house and we'd secretly leave presents scattered around each of our rooms for the morning of Valentines Day and we'd get together and open them, they were always the cutest days. 
Question 4 - What movie would you rather watch on Valentines Day: Pretty Woman or You've Got Mail? I've actually never heard of either and I'm not one to watch soppy romantic films but I'd like to watch You've Got Mail as it seems cute and well I don't know really, more of my cup of tea.
Question 5 - What celebrity wouldn't you mind having for Valentines Day? Demi Lovato, although I'm straight we could still get together and have a movie night together as best friends.
Question 6 - What would be your perfect Valentines date? Just staying at home and watching movies with food and chocolate, perfect.
Question 7 - Red or Pink lips on Valentines Day? If I was feeling confident I'd probably go for red but I think pink is more subtle and compliments my face better.
Question 8 - What is your ideal Valentines Day outfit? Skinny jeans or a skater skirt with cute jumper, probably with a peter pan collar on it, and some comfy boots.
Question 9 - Homemade or Store bought gifts? I think homemade is always such a cute idea and it makes it all that more special, however I think if your treating someone to something shop bought things are always still good.
Question 10 - Would you wear your hair up or down for a date night? I proffer my hair down so probably half up and half down with loose curls.
So that's my tag for Valentines Day, if you've done one leave the link in the comment as I'd love to check them out. I hope your all having a lovely day and its full of love and special people. Love you all, Happy Valentines Day!

Blogmas Day 11 | Christmas Tag

Hello Lovelies! So I wanted to get in the Christmas spirit even more, whats a better way of doing that then doing a Christmas Tag? I found this a really nice tag and very exciting to answer, I'm starting to feel very festive now.
1. Do you prefer a real Christmas tree or synthetic? I really like the real ones, but I have to say synthetic just because it costs alot less. Also it takes years for the real trees to grow to just die within a few weeks, they also shred like no tomorrow but I do love the look and smell of them, just not for me personally.
2. You're in a coffee shop, it's December, what do you pick? Oh, that's cruel. I love a hot chocolate in December time, so depending if I'm in Starbucks I'd go for the Peppermint Hot Chocolate, mmm!
3. What's your favorite colour scheme for decorating the tree? See, I don't limit myself to just one Christmas tree, I have several in the bedrooms etc, but my main tree I like to use all the Christmas colours like Gold, Green and Red. 
4. Giving or receiving? It's so predictable to say this, but I generally love giving because I love to see people opening the presents, I've put alot of effort into getting the perfect presents I want to see them enjoy it. Although receiving is just as exciting, giving is the main thing about Christmas and seeing people happy.
5. To mince pie or not to? To, I like mince pies much more than Christmas pudding. Actually I do really hate Christmas pudding, uggh. But a mince pie with some clotted cream, yum.
6. What's your traditional Christmas lunch? I think Christmas dinner is what Christmas is all about, sitting with your family and loved ones and of course, the food. I normally have pork rather than turkey because we're more of a pork kind of people, pigs in blankets, crackling, lots of veg, Yorkshire puddings and potatoes. And of course, crackers and jokes to enjoy whilst we tuck into the feast.
7. Christmas day fashion I like to dress up for Christmas, normally a nice flowly skirt and a pretty top. Nothing too glam but nice and posh enough for Christmas but of course, still keeping the festive look on. 
8. What's your favorite Christmas song? I don't think I have one specific, I enjoy lots. I particularly enjoy Winter Wonderland more this year, whether that's because I bought a toy dog that sings it the other day but I do enjoy that one.
9. What's your favorite Christmas film? Oh, that's a hard one. There's so many, I adore the film Elf. It's just halarious and gets you into the Christmas spirit right away, but I also like this other film that I watched the other day called 'It's Christmas, Carol!' which is a beautiful film with a beautiful message and very romantic, brilliant film.
10. Open presents before or after lunch? When I wake up I usually go downstairs with the family and open our stockings and we normally travel to my Nan's house where we have over more close family members and open our main presents after Lunch. 
Let me know if you are to do or done this tag, I really enjoyed this one. I hope your in or getting into the Christmas spirit, I know I am.

I always do my face first, start of applying creams etc then once all my foundations are on I apply eye makeup.

Not frequently, I'm a bit picky with bags! If I find a nice comfortable one, I'll probably stick with it for several months!

The Autumn Tag

I found this tag on the beautiful Georgina's blog Makeup-Pixi3 and thought I'd give it a shot. I really love Autumn because it's the time to make everything nice & cosy like candles and jumpers to hot chocolates, need I go on? 
For Autumn, what is your... 1.  Favorite thing about it? It has to be the cosy & warm jumpers with a nice              hot cup of brew or chocolate.   2.  Favorite drink? Anything warm! I love a good ol' brew but my all time favorite has to be white hot chocolate,mmm! 3.  Favorite scent/candle? I have a big obsession with candles, specially scented ones! I like anything from Strawberry to Vanilla, from Lime to Lemon to about anything! I would have to say my favorite of this Autumn would be my lemony scented candle!   4.  Best lipstick? I like my deep peachy red lipstick from 2true, it gives that warm look which is what you want in the bitterly cold weather!   5.  Go to moisturiser?  I absolutely adore Almond Body Lotion Moisturiser from BODY SHOP. The smell is lush, good enough to eat! It keeps my skin from breaking and going dry, brilliant product all year round and specially Autumn. 6.  Go to colours for the eyes?  My favorite eye shadow combination for Autumn has to be purple or berry sort of shades. I go for a more natural naked look, and warm it up with bit of berry shades and darker lip sticks. 
7.  Favorite music or band/singer to listen to?  I really like Nina Nesbitt's album and also Demi Lovato's one too. I don't really have a monthly favorite, but I'd say I'm excited to hear Jessie J's new song 'Sexy Lady'. 8.  Favourite outfit to wear (i.e. boots & a scarf combo)?  My usual outfit consists of a comfy pair of jeans and a loose top with a warm and cosy wool cardi with my cute owl nerd scarf. 9.  Autumn treat?  (i.e. a new scarf or bag you have your eye on)?  I've currently been eyeing up Bourjois Colour Boost Lip Crayon Red Sunrise & Orange Punch!   10.  Favourite place to be? At home, watching TV with a big mug of hot coco and cosied up with blankets and jumpers! All credits of this tag and pictures go to Georgina!
