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! :)
