Would You Rather - The Beauty Edition

This weeks blogpost is going to be a bit more of a chatty post, I will be doing Would You Rather - The Beauty Edition! Okay let's begin:)

1. Would you rather lose all of your mascaras, lip glosses, lipsticks and eyeliners or lose all of your palettes and eyeshadow?
Lose all of my palettes and eyeshadows. As much as I love them lipsticks/lip glosses, eyeliner and mascara are my essentials. I can live without my eyeshadow but not without mascara!

2. Would you rather chop off all of your hair or never be able to get it cut again?
Chop it all off! I couldn't live with hair dragging at my feet when I'm like 70!

3. Would you rather have a coral cheek or a pink cheek?
A coral cheek as I think it suits my pale complexion and red hair.

4. If you won £1000 would you rather spend it on clothes or makeup?
Oh man that is a toughie...I am going to have to say clothes as I have quite a lot of makeup and I'm sure even after I've spent the £1000 I would still carry on buying makeup anyway! I don't buy new clothes as often so I would love to revamp my wardrobe. 

5. Would you rather use lipstick as eyeliner or eyeliner as lipstick?
Lipstick as eyeliner and I have no idea why, lipstick as eyeliner is just popping out to me ahah!

6. Would you rather only shop at MAC or Sephora?
Sephora, as much as I love MAC I couldn't just use the one brand, I enjoy trying products from lots of different brands.

7. Would you rather just use one eyeshadow colour or lip colour for the rest of your life?
One eyeshadow colour as lipsticks and experimenting with lip colours is one of my favourite things about makeup and if I used a simple cream/beige colour eyshadow I could basically rock any lip colour!

8. Would you rather wear Winter clothes in Summer or Summer clothes in Winter?
Winter clothes in summer. I hardly wear summer clothes in the summer anyway unless I am abroad somewhere really hot. It takes a lot to see me in summer clothes during the summer months in the UK!

9. Would you rather wear dark nails or bright nails all year round?
Dark nails as I prefer darker shades on my nails like burgundy or a deep grey or purple.

10. Would you rather give up your favourite lip product or eye product?
Eye product, I think we have established now that no one is taking my lip products away ahah!

11. Would you rather only wear your hair in a ponytail or a messy bun?
In a ponytail as that's what I wear most days and can do easily.

12. Would you rather never use nail polish again or never use lip gloss?
Never use nail polish again. I don't paint my nails that often and when they are painted I normally get them done at a salon as I don't trust myself to do a good job, I also love the look of my natural nails without polish.

Thank you all for reading, I hope you enjoyed! Next weeks blogpost will be a birthday haul so keep your eyes peeled:)

Roses Are Red, Violets Are Blue, Here Is A Valentines Blog Post From Me To You

Today's blog post will be about all things red and blue. I will be showing you some of my favourite products and fashion items which are perfect for Valentines Day! Red is perfect for full on Hollywood glam or it can be used subtly and blue is great for something edgier or casual. Here are my ideas on everything red and blue you will ever need for Valentines:


Roses are red...



My first red must have for Valentines Day is the Nicky Clarke straighteners. These will allow a fast, easy way to style your hair if you're going out on a date or if you just want to look nice around the house.




Three stunning red nail polishes are Bright Red and Raspberry from Barry M and this glittery varnish from Claire's Accessories.



A perfume which will make sure you are smelling wonderful is Dot from Marc Jacobs. If you are a fan of fruity and florally scents this one is for you! 


These red jeggings are perfect for a date night. Wear them with a t-shirt for a casual look or pair them with a black long sleeve crop top and chunky jewellery to dress it up.


Violets are blue...



My first blue product is for when you are back from your date and are getting ready to crash into bed. This Estee Lauder eye makeup remover is a great product to get off all the glitter/eyeliner/smokey eye shadow that we will all be rocking this Valentines Day.




Three of my favourite blue nail polishes are Aqua Cool from Rimmel, Denim from Barry M and a sparkly bluey grey from Accessorize.



Contrast from MAC is a beautiful deep blue eye shadow. A blue smokey eye and a nude lip would look absolutely stunning. If winged liner and a bold red lip isn't your thing this is a just as stunning alternative.


If you aren't keen on a blue smokey eye, a neutral eye with a pop of blue liner would look super pretty! The Aqua Glitter eyeliner pencil from NYX is a lovely shade to use to achieve this.


Seeing as it is February this blue circle scarf from Accessorize will keep you warm if you are planning on going out. 

Thank you for reading and I hope you all have a wonderful Valentines Day

January Favourites


So the first month of 2015 is already over! Today's post will be all about the things I have been loving throughout January. I don't have too many favourites this month as I haven't really done anything except study and go to school so I've just stuck to my normal routine. Although saying that after Christmas I started using some new hair/body care products which I have been using ever since! So here's what I've been loving lately:



My first two favourites are from Lush and are the Rehab shampoo and Retrend conditioner. I received these bad boys for Christmas and they have worked wonders on my hair. My hair is normally quite dry and frizzy but these two products have made it silky smooth. It also keeps my hair clean for longer as I've noticed my hair doesn't get oily as quickly as it used to. Will definitely be re-purchasing! LOVE LOVE LOVE!



The next two products I also received for Christmas and have been using none stop since! Both the Clean On Me which is a body wash and the Butter Yourself Moisture Lotion smell incredible. The smell also lasts for a while throughout the day as well, it doesn't just disappear like some lotions and body washes. The bottles are quite big so I am so happy they will last me a long time. This is the second post in a row I've mentioned Soap & Glory whoops but I've been loving their products as I got a gift set of them for Christmas.


Now on to random favourites! Even though I have been studying a lot I have still managed to find time to watch The Fault In Our Stars. I am a huge fan of the book and the film and if you haven't read/watched it then you are missing out! I would definitely say you have to read the book first though as it is truly wonderful, well so is the film buttttt just read it ahah




The last thing I've been loving in January is Custard Creams. I have always liked Custard Creams but throughout January I've just been absolutely loving them! Every time its snack time I'll be tracking down a Custard Cream:) 

Thank you for reading, hopefully in my next favourites it will include more things!
