Tag: 5 Current Obsessions!

I was tagged by the gorgeous Sarah for this award!
Here are the rules:
1. List 5 current obsessions
2. Pass the award on to 5 fabulous blogs
3. Mention the person who tagged you and post their blog link
4. Post links to the 5 winners and let them know!
My 5 current obsessions are:
1/ Lush Goodies..
I am already a total Lush freak, but for some reason these last few days, I have SUCH an urge to go and buy loads! I was going to go in and buy the Legends box for £97 which I think includes about 25 items, but then I added up the price of every single thing I want from lush and it comes to the same price for 30 items! Woo! So guess where i'm headed!
2/ Studded clothes and shoes..
I am totally in love with anything that has studs on! Boots and jackets especially! Topshop have had amazing things in all year and I have resisted the urge to buy so far, but I think I may give in soon!
3/ Mice..
I know... wierd obsession! But I have recently been lusting after getting 2 mice as pets! I even have the cutest names picked out! Well, mice or chinese hamsters, not sure yet!
4/ New Tattoo..
Once I get an idea into my head to get something, I want to get it ASAP!! I have been thinking about getting a tattoo on either my hand, aka. Cheryl Cole, or a small star on my wrist. I'm a bit worried about getting a wrist one though as i do not handle pain well! But. I havn't decided yet.. watch this space!
5/ This Blog!..
I started this blog with every intention to keep it up to date every day, but i fell behind on it and to be totally honest, I forgot I even had a blog! But I have recently got back into it and I am really enjoying updating it!!
Now i tag...

THE list :)

I was trying to think of a good post to do, and my friend Sarah aka.. Modern Damsel, said I should do this. And boy am I glad she suggested it, because it sure is fun! I'm rather picky though so it was difficult coming up with 5! lol





David Boreanaz.. I have liked this guy since his blood sucking days on Buffy, and he hasn't lost his looks in the slightest! If all vampires looked like this, then none of us would have anything to worry about!




Ed Westwick.. Those eyes!! One very good reason why I love Gossip Girl! Just wouldn't be the same without him!!



Leonardo Dicaprio.. Titanic just would not have been as good without him! It makes me sad even thinking about what happened to him! Rose should NOT have let go! Ok.. I seriously need to get over it!




Orlando Bloom.. I like this guy as an elf, a pirate, whatever! He has a perfect face!! I am insanely jealous of Miranda Kerr!! Not fair!









Tom Felton.. I share Sarah's crazy love for HP, and this guy! The whole 'bad boy' slytherin thing he has going on, really works for him! Now I just need to fight off his girlfriend and Sarah! hmm...




Penn Badgley.. Ok, i know this is number 6 and i was only supposed to do 5, but I can't leave out this loveable geek! He has amazing cheekbones! And doesn't he look alot like Orlando Bloom in this picture?






That was fun!! I tag everyone who reads this to do their own!
Thank you Sarah!! <3

So, it's getting to my favourite time of year! I of course mean winter! I love this season for 2 reasons.. obviously christmas is one, the other is that my birthday is in november! So every year at this time, i start to think about what i want to ask people for!

I decided that i would really like a pair of boots, as i am totally shoe obsessed! I found these ones in Topshop, and i really like them, but i'm not sure if i should keep these or wait until all the shops get in their winter stuff. Incase something better comes out. :S

They cost £68, and they are black suede with a chain decoration wrapped around. Take a look and leave me a comment saying what you think of them!! :)

Tag!!

What's your favourite makeup look?
I really love smokey eyes. My favourite colours to do are the classical smokey greys.

What part of your body do you love?
I quite like my eyes because they are green and are exactly the same as my mums, and i used to hate my mouth because i thought my lips were weirdly shaped but i have grown to like it!

Who is your beauty icon?
Has to be Angelina Jolie. That woman looks flawless all the time. When she goes out to premieres, her makeup is so subtle but still looks amazing!

What beauty products make you feel instantly sexy?
Probably would have to be mascara. Even if you don't wear any other makeup products, mascara totally changes your face. It opens up your eyes and makes you look so much more awake.

How do you look after your skin?
I have a very good skincare routine that i am very strict about! The product that i swear by is the Bare Essentials Night Time Revival Treatment. It has made such a huge difference to my skin and i don't know what i did before it!

What is your signature scent?
I think it's either Juicy Couture or Chloe. I love them both.

What are your hair care secrets?
I don't use too many different products on my hair, and i don't use too much heat.

How do you pamper yourself?
I have a nice long bath with Lush products, and then do a face mask and do my nails.

What is your beauty pet peeve?
It drives me crazy when i go into a makeup store like MAC or Sephora and the girls working there have the worst makeup ever on their faces! Do they even know how to do makeup or know anything about it??! I always steer well clear of them, if they can't do their own makeup well, do they really think i want them to be doing mine?!

What would be your desert island must haves?
Waterproof mascara, sunscreen, lip balm, and shampoo + conditioner! Might as well make use of that ocean!

Finally, do you have a beauty philosophy?
Wear whatever makeup that makes you happy, and only wear it for yourself, and not to please others.

I got this idea from my Friend Sarah's blog, and i hope you enjoyed it. :)

TKMAX Goodies

I originally went shopping today to look at the new MAC collections, Naked Honey ans Colour Craft. But for some reason when I got there they said that they weren't putting the stuff out until Monday 13th!Ugh!? Why!!?? So i had just decided to think of it as a wasted journey when i thought it would be a good idea to go to TKMaxx....

Now, I have never been a fan of this store and i don't even know why, but i still needed some cute stuff for my soon-to-be redecorated room! And they certainly didn't disappoint.

The first thing i got was this drawer separator. It was £5.99 and it will be perfect for keeping makeup or hair stuff in!








The next thing i got was this cookie jar, which was £7.99. I probably won't use it to keep cookies in though! Or maybe i will! I might start a secret stash of them in my room! But i thought it would be good to keep random hair accessories in or just bits and bobs!




I also got this cute little notebook! The stripes are a velvety feel, so i thought it was really beautiful. The cover slips off as well, so when you use up all the sheets in it, you can refill it. I think this was about £5.99 as well.




So, It actually turned out to be quite a successful days shopping! And it definitely made up for the lack of MAC! :)

In and Out #1

This is maybe my favourite part of reading other peoples blogs. I love to see what people are loving and hating in life. So i decided to make it a regular thing on mine!

In

1) New York- I think it's safe to say this is my favourite city in the world! Me and my mum have decided that we are going back next year, and I am sooo excited. OK, I know it's still more than a year away, but when there is something like this to look forward to, doesn't life seem so much happier? :)

2) Redecorating- I am painting my room this weekend and it's going to be so pretty! I am doing one wall red, and the other 3 white. Then putting alot of black and silver accessories in. Change is always good!

3) Colder weather- The lack of air conditioning this past fortnight nearly killed me! It was uncomfortable to say the least! So I am probably one of very few people who are so glad that the clouds and rain are back.

4)Harry Potter- I am one of the biggest Harry Potter fans! And I have been looking forward to this film since it was due to come out last November! OK.. well maybe not that long, but i still can't wait!

Out

1) MAC collections- I am still not that impressed by the collections from MAC. I haven't got excited about a collection properly since Hello Kitty came out! Pull it together MAC! Although saying that.. I'm still going tomorrow to buy stuff from Naked Honey and Colour Craft!!

2) Driving Lessons- So finally I'm taking my driving lessons, and I honestly wish I could drive already! I'm finding them quite difficult, and my legs are killing me after each lesson! :(

3) No heat hair challenge- I decided to try Lollipop26's idea of not using heat on my hair for as long as possible. So no hair dryer, no straightener, etc. Well.. that lasted until i next washed my hair! :( I gave in. I fail.

A blog at last!

Hey everyone, I decided it was finally time that i made a blog all of my very own! I'm sure that most who end up coming to my blog will have came from my Youtube channel. But for those of you that don't know, I make videos on youtube about makeup, makeup and basically more makeup! So, i'm sure you can guess what this blog will be about..

I will try to update as much as possible, and i will talk about hauls and basically just everything I am loving! I hope you enjoy my blog and I can't wait to start updating this with various hauls and reviews! :)
