I wasn't actually tagged to do this, but I found this tag on LPage Beauty's Blog and I thought I'd give it a go myself!

If you could have anyone in the world do your makeup who would it be?
I think if I had to choose anyone, it would be Charlotte Tilbury. Her products look amazing and after recently watching a video of her doing Nic from Pixiwoo's makeup, I want to experience it too haha!

Whats your makeup top tip?
I'm sure it's been said many times before, but always moisturise and apply a primer before applying makeup. I find these two little steps make such a huge difference to my makeup.

What Skincare Product could you not live without?
I'd have to say moisturiser for me. My skin can be fickle and also very dry so I definitely need moisturiser in my routine. Although, I also swear by Garnier's Micellar Water as I love that too.

What are you worst at when it comes to applying makeup?
Winged eyeliner, without a doubt. I practice constantly yet I'm still pretty rubbish at it. I love winged eyeliner but I just can't do it well myself, but I still try! 

What's your biggest pet peeve about makeup?
I really can't think of one to be honest. It isn't a pet peeve as such, as everyone is entitled to wear their makeup how they want of course, but I'm not a fan of the liquid eyeliner and no mascara (and full face) look. But like I said, each to their own and I'd never tell anyone how to wear their makeup. 

Whats your Guilty Pleasure Product?
Primer or highlighter. I love them both and gravitate towards these two items in makeup shops, I just can't help it. Like I said earlier I swear by primers so I do have quite a few that I've tried out over the past few years.

Whats your underdog product?
Seventeen's Stay Time Concealer. I honestly swear by this concealer and I hear barely anyone talk about it! It's only £4.49, so really affordable and it's high coverage AND there's a shade that's light enough for my super pale skin. I prefer it to Collection's Lasting Perfection Concealer and I think it's so underrated. 

Whats your favourite Makeup product of 2016?
One of them for me would be Soap and Glory's Solar Powder which I've been wearing almost everyday since I bought it back in December. As well as this, I also love L'Oreal Infallible Contour Palette. Finally I'd also have to pick Kiko's Smart lipsticks as they're really affordable and have a creamy formulation too. 

I'm going to tag anyone who wants to do this tag, and if you do leave a comment below and let me know as I'd love to read it.

Alice from Annie Writes Beauty started this tag and I think it's a brilliant idea. If you want to check out her answers, click here. I'm obsessed with Netflix and I'm sure most of you are too, it's the perfect procrastination activity!

1. What are you favourite series' to watch on Netflix?

Prison Break, hands down is my absolute favourite. I also love Orange Is The New Black and Grey's Anatomy. 

2. What are you currently watching on Netflix?

I'm currently on season 3 of Grey's Anatomy, but I've also just started Cupcake Wars and Once Upon A Time.

3. If you could have any series, old or new put on Netflix, what would it be? 

Modern Family and Teen Mom. I love both of these. I know a few seasons of Modern Family used to be on Netflix, but sadly they removed it.

4. What is your one peeve about Netflix?

That for some reason (it might just be me) it only works on Google Chrome and no other browser.

5. What are your essentials for a perfect night in with Netflix?

A blanket, fluffy socks, hot chocolate and some snacks, (preferably chocolate) and a candle too. 

6. Recommend one series or film for someone else.

Prison Break as a series and 10 Things I Hate About You as a film.

I tag:

• Sailorjennie (Jennie)
• VVNightingale (Vicky)
• Lux Rose (Lizzie)
• Beyond The Velvet (Leah and Rachel)

Are you addicted to Netflix like me?

I read this on MilkBubbleTea the other week and thought I'd do it myself as I'm really excited for Christmas already.

1. What is your favourite Christmas Movie/s?

I love ELF, Love Actually, The Holiday (I think of it as a Christmas movie), The Santa Clause and A Christmas Carol (2009 version).

2. Do you open your presents on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning?

I always open them on Christmas morning! I start with opening my stocking and then the other presents after. I used to open them at about 5am which didn't please my parents!

3. Do you have a favourite Christmas memory?

I have a few favourites! I remember Father Christmas coming round on Christmas eve as I was a child and that was always so exciting. Another is waking up in the morning and finding that 'Father Christmas' had left footprints leading downstairs to the tree, it was always so magical. 

4. favourite festive food?

Sausages wrapped in bacon and chocolate oranges, not together of course!

5. Favourite Christmas gift ?

When I was younger I was given Rainbow Art and I was totally obsessed with it. Does anyone else remember Rainbow Art? This year I've already had my Christmas present early which is a cushion with the favourite photo of my cat on it, who sadly died over summer.

6. Favourite Christmas scent?

The smell of a real Christmas tree and cinnamon candles.

7. Do you have any Christmas Eve traditions?

There aren't any specific Christmas Eve traditions anymore, when I was little it was putting a mince pie and carrot out the night before now it's just spending time together!

8. What tops your tree?

For as long as I can remember, it's been an angel. I used to put her on the top of the tree when I was younger and there was always a struggle when we had a real Christmas tree if it was too tall sometimes the angel would move a little further down the tree!

9. As a kid what was the one (crazy, wild, extravagant) gift you always asked for but never received?

I used to ask for basically everything in the Argos catalogue. I always used to ask for a little sister, which my Mum and Dad never agreed to so it's never happened! 

10. What's the best part about Christmas for you?

I love spending time with my family and friends and of course all of the food. Now I'm at uni I'm so excited to go home to a nice warm house as right now we haven't put the heating on, student living!

If you do this tag please let me know, I'd love to read it!

I'm not sure if I've mentioned it before but I love cats, I realise I may end up sounding like a crazy cat lady but I'm okay with that now haha! I thought I'd do the Fury Friend tag for you all today so I hope you enjoy!

1) What's your pets name?
I'll just put this out there now, I have 2 cats and 2 guinea pigs but this post will be about the pet I've had the longest - my cat who's called Lucky. 

2) What kind of pet and what breed?
Lucky is my cat and she's a tortoiseshell cat. 

3) How long have you had your pet friend?
I got Lucky when I was only 5 which means I've had her for 14 years!

4) How did you get your pet friend?
We adopted Lucky from a local RSPCA centre. It was actually my mum who chose her from the centre, and my mum picked her because she was told that Lucky would be put down soon and that my Mum should choose a different cat! It's so upsetting to know that if we hadn't adopted her, she would have been put down. The reason for this is because she had been in an accident where her leg was caught in another animal trap and she was so frightened and quite angry at everyone, but this just made Mum choose her for us. Soon enough she became loving and cuddly and caring to us once she knew we wouldn't hurt her!

5) How old is your pet?
She was 15 years old in January so technically she's 15 and a half!

6) What are some quirky things about your pets personality?
She'll always try to drink my coffee (I never let her don't worry!) and she appears to love marmite, yep you read that correctly! I left a couple of twiglets in a bowl once and she started licking them and she's done the same to my marmite on toast!

7) What does your relationship with your pet mean to you?
Sometimes I may refer to her as 'my baby' so basically she means the world to me and I'm a little too obsessed with my cats. They're all I'll talk about sometimes!

8) What are some of your favourite past times with your pet?
I love just sitting and cuddling her and kissing her on her head. Simple, yet so cute.

9) What are the nicknames you call your pet?
Lully, Lully Loo, Lully baby, my baby and Luck (I sound mad I know!)

These are both of my cats in the same photo. Smokey on the left and Lucky on the right. 

Do you have any pets?

I've never done a 'what's in my bag' post before and I thought it would be a good time to do it whilst I had a new bag!

Bag // Primark

Notebook // Glasses // Purse

Granola Bar // Pens // Lip Balm // Tissues // iPhone Cable

The only other thing I take that isn't pictured is a bottle of water and sometimes I take my Starbucks travel mug. 

Have you done a what's in your bag post?

Today I'm doing the Autumn Tag which was created by Georgina from Makeup-Pixi3 and as she tags everyone who has a blog I thought I'd do it since I love Autumn.

For Autumn, what is your...

1. Favourite thing about it? 

I love the change of season, although I love summer I feel far more comfortable wearing a big cosy jumper and fluffy socks rather than shorts and a strappy top. I also love the new menu that Costa brings out and I'm currently looking forward to trying the Toffee Nut Caffè Caramella which is on their Autumn menu. 

2. Favourite drink? 

Either a cappuccino or a salted caramel latte. 

3. Favourite scent/candle? 

I just love vanilla and cinnamon scents. I do need to invest in some new candles though as I've run out of any vanilla scented ones.

4. Best lipstick? 
My favourite last Autumn was Strawberry Daiquiri by Bare Minerals but sadly I've lost it so I've been loving my Revlon Lip Butter in Candy Apple and my Natural Collection Lipstick in Raspberry. 

5. Go to moisturiser? 

My go to moisturiser will be my Boots Vitamin E Moisturiser as it really does moisturise my skin well and it isn't too thick that it takes forever to sink in, plus it's a bargain at under £3 as well.

6. Go to colours for the eyes? 
I don't really go out of the box so to say with my eyeshadows as I tend to stay with neutrals however this year I'm determined to start using more berry-pinky toned eyeshadows such as the ones in my Sleek Storm Palette. 

7. Favourite music or band/singer to listen to? 
At the moment I'm loving songs by Bastille and Daughter. 

8. Favourite outfit to wear (i.e. boots & a scarf combo)? 
My favourite outfit would have to be skinny jeans, a simple t-shirt, leather jacket, a thin scarf and some boots. Comfy and cosy but also looks nice and wearable for most situations. 

9. Autumn treat? (i.e. a new scarf or bag you have your eye on) 
I've been eyeing up a Sleek Lipstick in the shade Vamp and MAC's eyeshadow in Cranberry. 

10. Favourite place to be? 
Either having a quiet drink down the pub with my friends (whilst freezing!) or in bed with a cup of coffee, wearing my pyjama bottoms and some fluffy socks whilst watching Harry Potter!


I'm just going to tag everyone who wants to do this tag and if you do link it below and I'd love to read it!

I saw that Abbie did a 'how much is your face worth' post and thought it'd be interesting to do one for myself. Looking at the photos, it appears I use a lot more make up than I thought! I've split it into sections so it was easier to organise.

| Rimmel Fix and Perfect Primer | - £6.99

I've mentioned this a couple of times before and I've done a blog post on it as well. It has to be my favourite primer. It doesn't break me out, it's a reasonable price and it smooths out my skin and makes applying my foundation and concealer a lot easier.

| Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation ~ 100 Ivory | - £6.99

This is my go to foundation, I love it. Even though in this photo it looks a lot darker than the concealer it does blend out well. I have the older packaging but I'm assuming it's still the same formulation, but I could be wrong. It gives a medium coverage and has an SPF of 15 which is always useful.

| Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer ~ Fair 1 | - £4.19

I have recently re-purchased this concealer which is unusual for me as I usually just try something new, but I love this concealer. As you can see I've only just started using the new one as all of the writing is still on. It gives a medium to full coverage, doesn't crease under the eyes and if you dab it on over any large pores it makes them less visible.

| MAC MSF Natural ~ Light | - £21

I absolutely adore this powder for setting my foundation. I know £21 is a lot to spend on a setting powder, but unfortunately the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder broke me out. However the MAC MSF Natural works perfectly for me, setting my foundation but leaving it still looking a little dewy looking.

| ELF Eyebrow Kit ~ Ash | - £3.75

I've mentioned before how much I love the ELF eyebrow kit as it's so cheap and my eyebrows stay in place all day. I mainly use the wax side and tend to ignore the powder just out of preference.

Total price of base make up = £42.92 

| Bourjois Chocolate Bronzer ~ Shade 52 | - £6.99

Once again I've done a separate blog post on this bronzer but overall I love it. It does have a tiny bit of shimmer but it's not visible at all once applied, and it's barely visible in the pan to be honest. It's not too orange for my skin which is perfect.

| Topshop Highlighter ~ Crescent Moon | - £10

I only bought this highlighter recently but after mentioning in this blog post I've used it everyday. It gives a beautiful glow to the skin, although you do have to be careful and not be too heavy handed otherwise it can look over the top.

| Rimmel Lasting Finish Mono Blusher ~ Santa Rose | - £3.99

I switch between blushers pretty regularly but for the past few days I have been using this Rimmel blush. It just gives a bit of colour to my cheeks but looks so natural at the same time.

Total Face = £20.98

| Maybelline One By One Volum' Mascara ~ Black | Around £7.99

It appears Boots aren't selling this mascara anymore but it's on the Maybelline website so I'm assuming it's not discontinued. I've estimated it was around £7.99 as that's the price of the other Maybelline mascaras. I love this mascara because I never have any issues with clumping and it opens up my eyes.

| Collection 2000 Skyscraper Length and Define Mascara ~ Black | - £4.99

I've only recently started using this mascara but I love it. It definitely does lengthen and define my lashes and I apply this after I have applied my Maybelline One by One. It may sound odd but I like that the packaging isn't the usual rounded shape of mascara, just makes it a little different.

| Rimmel Exaggerate Eyeliner ~ Black | - £5.29

I've never seen anyone else mention this eyeliner, but I am in love with it. I have re-purchased it a couple of times and I will need to buy a new one soon (as you can see from the destroyed packaging). It has a medium sized tip which makes application so easy and it stays on all day with no creasing. I cannot recommend this enough.

Total Eyes = £18.27

So the overall total is £82.17 which I don't think is too bad considering I have the MAC MSF Natural in there, and if I didn't it'd be a lot cheaper!

How much is your face worth?

I've used the same questions that Abbie used in her Christmas tag since and hers was the first Christmas tag I've seen so far.

(Image from weheartit)

1. Favourite Christmas film?
As odd as this may seem, I haven't watch many Christmas films, but I do love Bridget Jones and Love Actually.

2. Favourite Christmas song?
It definitely has to be 'Fairytale of New York' by The Pogues. It's so catchy and whenever I hear it, I instantly feel festive.

3. Real or fake Christmas tree?
We used to have a real Christmas tree for as long as I can remember, until a few years ago when my cat suddenly had a real interest in attacking the tree. So we decided it was best to buy a fake one and not have to worry so much, however I got a new kitten a few months ago and I have a feeling he's going to attack all the decorations on the tree and the tree itself, so it's better we have a fake one! I do miss the smell of a real Christmas tree though.

4. Do you like to stay in your PJs or dress up for Christmas?
It depends on whether we are seeing extended family on Christmas day or not, if we are I do dress up for Christmas otherwise I prefer to stay in my PJs. This year it's only going to be my immediate family for Christmas day so I think I'll be staying in my onsie or Christmas pjs all day!

5. Do you open your presents on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning?
I've always opened them on Christmas morning, I don't know anyone who opens them on Christmas eve. We always go to church on Christmas Eve anyway, and I used to wait for Father Christmas to drive down our street in his 'house' which was always one of the best bits. I'd find it weird opening my presents on Christmas eve.

6. Favourite Christmas treat?


7. Show a childhood photo of you at Christmas!

I'm not quite sure how old I am here, but it was at one my Dad's work Christmas parties. I don't look overly impressed with meeting Father Christmas. Back in the days when everyone used Polaroids too!

8. When do you start getting excited for Christmas?
I used to get excited so much earlier, but now in some ways I almost dread Christmas holidays purely because it means I have January exam modules not long after. But I usually get excited for Christmas in the middle of November, so not early at all compared to some people.

9. If you could kiss one celeb under the mistletoe who would it be?
Ooh, I can't pick one so I'll name a few. Jack O'Connell, Francisco Lachowski, Gerard Butler or Channing Tatum. That's probably too many, but I can't pick!


If you want to do this tag, feel free as I tag anyone and everyone!
