Beauty Blogger Tag | No2

Hello lovelies! I was reading my friend Leah's blog the other day and I saw her doing this tag. I really enjoyed reading hers so I tagged myself do it;)
 
 
1. Is your hair naturally curly or straight?
 
My hairs naturally straight originally however lately its decided to become more wavy.. its horrid.
 
2. What is your natural hair colour?
 
I have light blonde hair which I really want to change to brown, I don't know why but I want to be a brunette.
 
 
3. Do you dye it yourself of do you go to a salon?
 
I've only ever dip dyed semi permanently, I did that myself.
 
4. How often do you wash your hair?
 
Unfortunately my hair gets dirty quite quickly if its handled too much, so I do wash my hair every other day maybe even every two days depending on how it's starting to look.
 
5. Do you wear the same style everyday or change it?
 
Most of you will know my hairs pretty much always in a messy bun through no fault of my own.. it just happens. I do try and change it up but I can't help it.
 
6. Do you do your own mani/pedi or go to a salon?
 
I usually do it myself during school time but in the holidays my mum usually treats me to a mani/pedi.
 
 
7. How often do you change your nail polish?
 
Due to the fact that  I can't wear nail polish to school I usually put on a fresh colour every weekend, but my toes well like my friend Leah said I leave it until it's practically worn on! *Yes gross but I'm lazy*
 
8. Do you polish your toes in the winter too, or just in the summer?
 
All year round! Ever since I learnt how to paint my nails there hasn't been a day where my toenails have been bare. I know this is bad because your supposed to let your nails breath but I can't bare to have my toenails without polish on.
 
 
9. How long does it take to put on your makeup?
 
Depending on the occasion it can take me up to ten minutes on a normal day but if its something special then up to an hour+.
 
 
10. What do you do first? Face or eyes?
 
Eyes so that way if there's any fall out it can be hidden easily!
 
 
11. Do you "collect" makeup or just buy it when you need it?
 
I just buy it when I see something that intrigues me, like a new shade of lipstick. I don't need it but I'll get it anyway.
 
12. How often do you wear false eyelashes?
 
Never, I don't like the feel of them. I feel like they weigh my eyes down!
 
13. Do you do a full face of makeup everyday?
 
haha NO! Who has the time?!
 
14. Do you wear makeup when your home alone (or with family)?
 
No, if I'm not really doing much I don't feel the need too and its quite nice to just let my skin breathe some days.
 
15. Will you leave the house without makeup?
 
If I'm only going to the shops or visiting a family member then yes of course!
 
 
16. How many high end products do you have?
 
Since my birthday I've collected quite a bit!
 
17. How often do you wash your makeup brushes?
 
Once in a blue moon basically! Pretty much sums that one up!
 
 18. Do you plan your OOTD every night or decide when you are getting dressed?
 
I'm terrible for leaving things to last minute - especially when it comes to outfits! I probably should plan them the night before but I'm too lazy too!
 
19. How often do you change your handbag?
All depends where I'm going to be honest! Most of the time I don't bother though!
 
20. What time do you get up & go to sleep?
I can never get to sleep so I always end up going to bed quite late! This doesn't have a good effect on me on a school day when I have to get up at 7am! However on a weekend I wake up whenever!
 
21.How often & when do I workout?
All the time! For an hour a day!
 
......sometimes....does walking the dog count? Yes well everyday then for an hour is correct!
 
22. Left-handed or Right-handed?
Right Handed.
 
23. How tall are you?
I'm not even tall.. just small.
 
24. Can you speak a foreign language?
I learn Spanish and German at school twice a week in both subjects but I'm not fluent!
 
25. How many pets do you have?
Five -  A dog*she's my little baby<3*. A cat, two guinea pigs and a tortoise*new addition!*
 
26. How often are you on Blogger?
It may not seem like I blog a lot but I'm always on blogger!
 
27. Do you read the comments posted on blogs?
If there on mine - yes. Otherwise no!
 
28. Do you keep a list of products to try as you see other posts?
Yes - this isn't a good thing because it means I spend more money!
 
29. How did you come up with your blog name?
It's my name! So original!
 
30. What kind of camera do you use for photographs?
I am lucky enough to own a proper photography camera - so I use that. However lately my editing app has been making my pictures look a bit blurry so that's something to look into!
 
31. How often do you clean your house?
 
I don't clean my own room let alone the house. As I'm only fourteen I luckily don't have that huge job to do!
 
32. Favourite colour?
 
I love mint!
 
33. Favourite beauty/fashion magazine?
 
Company and Vogue!
 
34. Do you swear?
 
I don't think anyone can say no to this question!
 
 
 
35. What are you doing with the rest of your day?
 
Having a bath and watching hours of Gossip Girl*yeee*
 
 
That's my answer! I tag all of you to do this! Leave your blog links below and I'll be sure to check them out!

Birthday Presents!

Hey beauts! This has been highly requested since my birthday and I love these kind of posts so I was excited to do one of my own! I would like to quickly say I am not bragging in anyway or possible, to prevent this idea being put into peoples heads I am only going to show some of my presents. A lot of relatives gave me money as did friends!
 
 
 
Possibly my favourite present ever! My best friends Maisie, Leah&Jenny all chipped in on getting me this beautiful 'Feelin' Dandy' set from Benefit. It's so beautiful and I wore it on my birthday and got so many compliments on my makeup!
 
 
 
 
My dads fiancée was so lovely and got me this gorgeous makeup set. This is super handy for travelling if you can't decide which blusher to take or which eye shadow palette in fact! So I can already see this coming in super handy!
 
My three lovely friends also got me the new Katy Perry perfume. Not only is the packaging beautiful but the smell is too! I've worn this most days since I got it and the amount of compliments was unreal!
 
 

My friend Helaina bought me the S&G 'Calm one, Calm all' bubble bath, I haven't had a chance to use this yet but it smells gorgeous! She also got me the 'Glow Lotion' which  I have been using after tanning. This leaves such a beautiful glow!
 
 
 
My three bestfriends again got me my favourite product from lush! Its the 'Brightside Bubble bar'. I love the colour and the way this smells. It's such a gorgeous fruity scent.
 
 
 
 
*worst quality argh sorry!* My mum got me this gorgeous jumper from River Island. My mum said it was me down to a 't' because I am constantly blogging! I have barely taken this off since I got it!
 
 
 
My friends got me two lipsticks and they're both such gorgeous colours. I have worn both of these lipsticks and they're both amazingly pigmented and last so long!
 
 
 
 
Lastly my friend Olivia bought me the 'Victoria Secret Love Spell' body spray which has claimed its place in my bag probably for good! I've never thought much of these sprays but now I'm addicted! I spray this about a million times a day!
 
 
That's some of my presents I got for my birthday - again not bragging!
 
Was it your birthday recently or is it coming up?, Did you get anything nice?

My best friends made my birthday probably the best birthday I've had in a while. Leah and Jenny were so lovely and came round early Saturday morning to help my mum put up balloons and buntings for that night. They also made me a carrot cake for those of you who don't know its my favourite cake in the world*It was so yummy!* I laughed all night and it was so lovely to wake up with my friends on my birthday saying happy birthday to me! I then spent my actual birthday with family round my dads which was cute:).


Thankyou for all your lovely birthday messages on twitter etc.

Back To School Makeup | With PrettyLittleThings

Hey beauts! Summer time is coming to an end and sadly school is just around the corner! To brighten up the mood me and my bestfriend Leah decided to share with you guys our back to school makeup in order to help you put your best face forward for a new school year.

For school as you can probably tell I do like to keep my make up pretty natural and not wear a lot of it. If you are lucky enough to be able to wear makeup to school then feel free to add your own steps into this look.



To school I don't wear foundation as I hate the feel of it on my skin especially if I have PE that day. I do still want a decent amount of coverage so instead I op for a tinted moisturiser.. I have been loving my Nivea Tinted Moisturiser(new addition to my collection!) This is definitely aimed at pink toned skin so I don't recommend it if you have more yellow toned skin.


I won't go on to much here because I always talk about my Collection  Lasting Perfection concealer. I just love the coverage it gives. Some days I will actually wear this alone without a tinted moisturiser as it can definitely pull of as a full face of mak eup!



Mascara is a must have, right? I love my Dior mascara as it does everything a mascara should do, I specially love the fact this doesn't go on clumpy. Without mascara I honestly look ill..not a look I'm personally aiming for.

 For powder I just keep it simple with my Dior foundation powder - this gives a bit of coverage whilst also matting my makeup(bonus if you have oily skin). I have actually hit pan on this which means very soon I will need to buy a new one.



I love highlighting for some reason. It's something I do every single day. As usual I am using my MUA undress your skin highlighter - its so beautiful. Incase your wondering I just highlight the usual places e.g. Cheek bones, jaw lines and brow bones..not forgetting the nose!



I actually have no eyebrows if I don't fill them in, so filling in my brows is a huge must have! I use the Benefit Brow pencil in light. It's literally the perfect shade! I have spent so long hunting for the perfect brow pencil and I finally have! This comes with a spooly on the end so you can tame your brows aswell as fill them in.


I'm actually not suppost to wear makeup to school so I keep things pretty neutral however I do like to wear a lipbalm/pale lipstick most days. Lately I've been loving my Baby Lips in Peach Kisses as it gives off a slight tint without being hugely obvious.


That's my school makeup look, what's yours? Did I miss out any vital steps?
