blog

Today I'm doing the beauty blogger tag, as I have nothing to blog about today. I've been so sick today and I've sorted all my room out and this is all I can blog about. This isn't going to be excited so don't expect much. I got this from Lauren - All things beauty, make-up and shopping! Check out her blog!


1. Is your hair naturally curly or straight?
My hair is straight, even when I curl it, it doesn't really curl that much. You can't do anything with it :(

2. What is your natural hair color?
Dark brown. 

3. Do you dye it yourself or go to a salon?
I used to do it myself ALL the time, but 2 years ago I first got highlights at a salon and loved it. I got it done last year too and it has grown out so much. I really need to get it done again but I'm trying to grow my short hair out.

4. How often do you wash your hair?
I pretty much wash my hair whenever it's greasy, I can't wash my hair everyday because after I wash it, you can't do ANYTHING with it, it's awful.

5. Do you wear the same style every day or change it?
I usually just wear my hair in a top knot, but i occasionally wear it down and straight.

6. Do you do your own mani/pedi or go to a salon?
I do them myself.

7. How often to you change your nail polish?
Fingers - Whenever they chip or I get bored of the colour, I've had red on for about a week now and I love it! 
Toes - I only paint my toes if I know i'm wearing open toe shoes, I don't really bother otherwise and it's winter so there's no point.

8. Do you polish your toes in the winter, too or just in the summer?
^^^^^^ 

9. How long does it take to put on your makeup?
About 10 minutes for daily make-up, if i'm going out it usually takes a bit longer. 


10. What do you do first? Face or eyes?
Always do my face first, then go over my face if any excess falls etc.

11. Do you "collect" makeup or just buy what you need when you need it?
I don't collect make-up, I just buy what I need when I need it, although I'm hoping to build up a collection of brushes and Palletes soon! :D

12. How often do you wear false eyelashes? 

I have never worn false eyelashes in my life.

13. Do you do a full face of makeup every day?
Only if i'm leaving the house, if i know i'm staying in or i only pop to the shop then I don't bother.


14. Do you wear makeup when you are home alone (or with family)?
Not usually, only if i've been out for the day.


15. Will you leave the house without makeup?
Yeah, I'm not one of the people who thinks their face is disgusting, I don't mind my skin.

16. How many high end products do you have?
I don't own any high end products. I have used them and I don't like the look of a lot of them on my skin and tend to stick to the make-up I know looks best on my face.


17. How often do you wash your makeup brushes?
Once a month or so? I wipe them on clothes like everyday but don't do a full clean everyday.

18. Do you plan your OOTD every night or decide when you are getting dressed?
If i'm going out somewhere nice, I plan the night before but if i'm just going shops or nowhere special I decide that morning.


19. How often do you change your handbag?
I rarely change my handbag, the handbag I used at the minute is a little across the body bag and it matches literally all my clothes and it's the perfect size.


20. What time do you get up and go to sleep?
I try to go to sleep about 11pm but most nights don't end up actually sleeping till about 2am. I wake up around 9/10am.

I can speak a bit of french and german, but only basic words like hello, good evening etc.

I write all the products i'm interested in buying in a notebook usually next to my laptop!

29. How did you come up with your blog name?
I started as all my own stunts on tumblr, I got the name from my favourite song a few years back, and it's my name for everything. Instagram, twitter etc. It kind of just stuck.


30. What kind of camera do you use for photographs?
I use my Samsung Galaxy S3 some times, but usually I use my Sony a330.

Today it's the worse day ever, the rain is so bad outside and I have nothing to do! So an OOTD is the only thing left! I know this outfit isn't an appropriate outfit for a rainy day, but my house is like a sauna! It's boiling!

The top is from h&m and was I think about £6.00, it's just a plain top but it's so comfortable. I can't find it on the website anymore as I did get it at the start of summer! The shorts are from h&m too and I paid £19.99 for them, but I just looked on the website and they're in the sale for £5.99, grab them quick! The slippers are the best, they're slipper socks and I got them in size 3 because that's all they had, I'm a size 5, I loved them so much. When I got home and put them on, they were SO big and they fall off my feet, but they're so cute and I wish they had a matching dressing gown or something! They were around £1.00 - £1.50. The nail polish is from Tesco and I did a review about it below. The bracelet is my absolute favorite  my sister got me it for my birthday and I haven't took it off. It's not a shambella bracelet I think it's only a cheap one from Dorothy Perkins, but I love the detailed ball in the middle of  the bracelet, I think it really stands out!

Anyone wearing any summer clothes today?


OOTD

I haven't been blogging for that long about 3 weeks and I was shocked to read I had been nominated for the Leibster award and had won the Versatile blogger award! I don't even know if I have filled this out right! :-( Thank you Hayley for nominating me! oh and I LOVE your blog! It's nice to know that my blog is actually being read and somebody loves it! That makes me incredibly happy!


My 11 questions From Hayley are:

What is your must-have item of make-up?
My must have item of make-up is my eyebrow pencil! Years ago I couldn't be bothered to pluck my eyebrows, so me and my friend shaved them. Half of them never grew back so I NEED to draw them on every day!

Where do you see yourself in 10 years time?
I don't really have a personal goal for myself in 10 years time professionally, but as a person I would like to be settled down in a nice home, have money that I've worked hard for, and possibly a family.

What's your favourite food? Sushi, Mexican, etc..?
You can't beat a nice kebab, I know they're so bad for you, but they're so tasty! If i had to pick another it would be Chinese, I love that too! Yet you can't beat a nice home cooked dinner either.

What made you start blogging?
Over the last few months I got really interested in YouTube beauty video's and blogs and I wanted to do some, Im not confident enough to do YouTube but I'm okay on this. I never really know what to write as I'm still starting off, but i'll get there soon!

When you walk into a make-up store, what's the first stall you find yourself going towards?
The first thing recently is nail polish! Since buying boots false nails (Review down below) I've been addicted to nail polish! Before buying the nails my natural nails are sooo short and I didn't really bother with them because I'm a crazy nail biter and I just can't seem to stop! So I'm always either at the nail section or the little sale shelves, I love a good bargain!

 Name your three favourite blogs. 
Grace - http://graceandbraver.blogspot.co.uk/ 
Sarah - http://trymyhand.blogspot.co.uk/ 
Liv - http://livflorence.blogspot.co.uk/ 

What's your favourite season?
Autumn or Fall if you're American! I love the colours and just the feel of it! I love sitting with the family and watching movies with candles on, and the heating on full curled up in your dressing gowns and buying sweets for Halloween and getting all excited for the next few months coming up to christmas!

If you could choose anywhere in the world, where would you live?
I'd love to live in Ireland, My boyfriends family are from Ireland and I like to either live in Cork or Dunleary. I love the accent and just the scenery looks so beautiful, all the landscapes. Here in Northampton I look out my window and see garages and wheelie bins, not nice.

How independent do you think you are? 
I think I am independent, but I still know my mum likes to Look after me. I'm allowed to do what I want when I want, but My parents like to know I'm being careful and Not wasting money on rubbish and they just like to know I'm safe which is natural parenting I think, and it's quite cute!

If you were an animal, what would you be and why?
I think I would be a dog because they are loved all day, fed all the time, have loads of cuddles, get to sleep a lot. They're my favourite animal and I couldn't think of anything else I'd rather be, If i couldn't be a human...

What's on your christmas list this year?
I only have a few things on my christmas list this year, First one being a TV, i can't live without a TV in my room much longer, I can't wait to be able to sit in bed watching cute movies! Secondly, I'd like a few make-up palettes and some clothes! And lastly I'd really love a nice tripod!
