Would You Rather? - Beauty Edition

1) Would you rather lose all of your mascaras/eyeliners/lipsticks and lipglosses or lose all of your palettes and eyeshadows?

This is tricky, because I have way more lipsticks and eyeliners than palettes and eyeshadows but most of my palettes were gifts so have a more sentimental value... that being said, I use lipstick/mascara and eyeliner way more and those would be much harder to replace as I have a lot more so I´d probably have to ditch the eyeshadows and hope my friends and family would treat me on my next birthday :)

2) Would you rather chop off all of your hair or never be able to cut it again?

I´d probably say never cut it again. I know that if I chopped it all off it would grow back pretty quickly and then I could style it however I wanted, but I don´t think I´d ever have the guts to chop it all off!

3) Would you rather have a coral cheek or a pink cheek?
Coral, definitely!

4) If you had £1000 to spend, would you rather buy clothes or make up?
I would have to say clothes, as much as I love make up!

5) Would you rather apply lipstick as eyeliner or eyeliner as lipstick?
Tricky, probably eyeliner as lipstick, not only would it be much easier to apply but I am sure there are some nice brown eyeliners that would look quite good on the lips!

6) Would you rather only shop at MAC or Sephora?
Even though there are no Sephora stores in the UK I would definitely choose Sephora, much more choice

7) Would you rather use one eyeshadow colour or one lip colour for the rest of your life?
Eek! This is difficult but probably one eye colour, I could probably go for a simple brown on my eyes and they always mix up my lip colour..

8) Would you rather wear Winter clothes in the Summer, or Summer clothes in the Winter?
Neither! But if I HAD to choose maybe Winter clothes in the Summer, I hate being cold more than I hate being hot.

9) Would you rather have dark nails or bright nails all year round?
Bright!

10) Would you rather give up your favourite lip product or your favourite eyeshadow product?
Probably my favourite lip product as I have several that I also love!

11) Would you rather only be able to wear your hair in a ponytail or in a messy bun?
Ponytail, I haven´t quite mastered how to rock a messy bun and actually look nice yet..

12) Would you rather never be able to paint your nails or never wear lipgloss again?
Never wear lipgloss, I have quite a few super hydrating lip balms that almost give a glossy effect, I also love getting my nails done too much!

13) Would you rather shave your eyebrows and have none at all or  sharpie them in everyday?
Oh come on! How can somebody choose!
Again, if I HAD to probably sharpie them in and hope that I can pull it off! 

14) Would you rather live without make up or nail polish?
Nail polish, I love make up too much!

Get to Know me Tag!

Before I begin I just wanted to draw attention to the fact that this Blog recently hit 500 Bloglovin Followers! I just wanted to say a massive thank you to every single one of you who has commented or followed this blog, your support means so much to me!

This Tag is a fun way of letting you know a little bit about me, but I warn you it's quite a long one. Enjoy.

1. Is your hair naturally curly or straight?

Neither. My hair can never make its mind up what it wants to be. If I blow dry it, then it's straight. If I sleep with it wet it's super curly and if I just leave it to air dry then it's frizzy. The joys.

2. Do you dye your hair yourself or do you go to a salon?

I used to dye my hair a lot myself when I was younger, then I had like a two year break then on my last birthday one of my presents from my boyfriend was a hair salon trip, I had them dye it and didn't like it too much, it sadly costed my boyfriend £300! Since then I have done my own ombre twice using Loreal's Ombre Kit. 

3. Do you wear your hair in the same style everyday or change it?

I mostly just leave it down and au natural. Especially in the summer. I change it up sometimes and will straighten it or curl it, or plait it. It depends on my mood and where I'm going. 

4. Do you do your own mani/pedi or go to a salon?

Luckily for me my sister is a professional nail technician and my boyfriend has a nail salon (he doesn't do nails, just owns it)! So since I can remember I've had my nails done professionally by my sister wherever she has been working.

5. How often do you change your nail polish?

It depends, I get Shellac a lot because I hate chipped nails, so if I get Shellac then once every 1-2 weeks. If not then twice a week.

6. Do you polish your toes in the winter or just in the summer?

As much as I try not to put polish on my feet in the winter, I simply can't stand feet without polish! So unfortunately I do it all year round.

7. How long does it take you to put your make up on?

It depends where I'm going and how long I have, but roughly around 15 minutes, sometimes it can be longer, sometimes quicker if I'm in a rush.  

8. What do you do first face or eyes?

I always apply foundation and concealer first then eyes, sometimes I do bronzer, blusher or powder before or after, depends on what I'm doing.

9. Do you collect make up or just buy it when you need it?

Collect. Shamefully. Some things I do try to only buy when I need them like primer and foundation, but somehow I still end up with several at a time.

10. How often do you wear false eyelashes?

Fun fact: I have never actually wore them.

I have pretty long lashes anyway and I'm not a fan of anything looking too fake on my face. I probably will experiment with them at some point, but as of now I've never felt the need to.

11. Do you do a full face of make up every day?

Nope. If I have nothing to do or nowhere to be then I don't wear make up or I'll wear a little bit. Typically eyeliner and lip balm.

12. Do you wear make up when your home alone or with the family?

Usually no. However sometimes I just like to put it on, I really enjoy applying make up, so if I'm with family indoors for a few days and I haven't wore any for a few days then I just will for the sake of it.

13. Will you leave the house without make up?

Yes, and I do quite often. However, like I said, I just like to apply it and where it, so I sometimes just will even to pop to the shop.

14. How many high end products do you have?

I don't own too many high end products, I love drug store make up, however this year I'm going to branch out and splurge on more high end make up.

15. Do you plan your OOTD every night or decide when you're getting dressed?

If I have a party or something on then I will try to figure it out ahead of time, but for day to day life, I just choose when I'm getting dressed.

16. How often do you change your handbag?

Not very often. I have a few handbags, I tend to buy a new one every 3-4 months, I switch up my day to day bag between a big one and a small shoulder bag quite often depending on where I'm going.

17. What time do you wake up and go to sleep?

This changes constantly! Lately I've been going to sleep around 1am and waking up around 11am. I need lots of sleep or I'm grumpy!

18. How often or when do you work out?

Lately I've been trying to work out more, aiming to do it 3-4 times a week. I work out typically in the afternoon or evening, I don't have much energy in the morning.

19. Left or right handed?

Left.

20. How tall are you?

5"6 exactly.

21. Do you speak any foreign languages?

Nope! I can say I love you in about 5 languages ha! I studied French for two years but I only know a handful of words. I know a few words in different languages but not enough to string a sentence together :( my boyfriend is Vietnamese so I also know quite a few words in that language. I would love to learn a language!

22. How many pets do you have?

None :( we had a cat, but we don't have her anymore due to a long story! Hopefully we can get another soon :( 

23. How often are you on Blogger?

Everyday. I don't blog everyday but I'm here every day.

24. Do you read comments posted on blogs?

I don't typically read comments on other people's blogs. But I read every comment on my own.

25. Do you keep a list of products to try as you see other posts?

Yes, I have a five page list in my notebook...oops!

26. How did you come up with your blog name?

I have no idea. It doesn't serve much meaning, I just quickly choose something.

27. What kind of camera do you use for photographs?

I use a Nikon Coolpix S9200. It was a gift from my boyfriend for last year's birthday and I love it.

28. How often do you clean your house?

I'm currently in between places as I'm moving next week. But usually every day because we have a small place.

29. What's your favourite colour?

I don't have one. I love any pastel colour. In fact I like most colours...

30. Do you swear?

More than I should.

31. What are you doing with the rest of the day?

Probably take some pictures for upcoming blog posts, workout, watch a few episodes of revenge and eat. 

Well that was pretty long, feel free to do the tag too! And let me know if you do so I can have a read! Have a lovely day.

My Spring Nail Favourites!

As I mentioned in a previous post I am massively into my nails and making sure they are always looking freshly manicured and perfect.

These are 3 nail polishes I keep going back to around Spring and Summer (especially Watermelon). 

All three polishes are from Essie and are most likely available online or at some Boots stores. 

(From Left to Right)

Essie - Watermelon 

(a bright pinky red colour, perfect for summer)

Essie - Laps of Luxury

 (light purple, almost blue colour)

Essie - Fiji

 (a very popular colour by Essie, a perfect light pink, nude colour)

Nails, Nails, Nails

One thing you may not know about me is that I am massively a "nail person".

Some people are hair people and always like their hair to look perfect, some are eyebrow people. I am obsessed with my nails, this meaning, I always like to have a fresh manicure and pedicure and I enjoy buying lots of nail polish.

I never bite my nails and my nails are very strong and healthy (probably due to the stupid amounts of cheese I consume).

Luckily for me, my boyfriend's mom has a couple of nail salons in London, one of which where my sister works.

So all of the pictures below are done by my sister on my actual nails :)

So enjoy...
