I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT!!

Hi girls so I know I haven't wrote anything this week, but lately I haven't been in the mood for writing beauty posts. Lately I feel that I have been hiding behind make-up and that isn't what I think make-up should be about. I feel that this blog should be about having self-confidence and showing your true beauty inside and out. Yet lately I feel I haven't been able to do that and I don't want to be hypocritical. However I do still want to keep writing blog posts so I have created a new blog for some of my other obsessions which can be found here.
Please check it out if you want to keep reading my fun posts. If you want to know what I'm doing constantly then follow me on twitter here

Tag: Halloween

So I know Halloween was on Monday but I found this tag and really wanted to do it. Here it is, the Halloween Tag. Enjoy.


1. Favourite Halloween movie?
I don't really like scary movies so I don't have one


2. What age did you stop trick or treating?
10 but I wish I could still do it now


3. Favourite Halloween costume you have worn?
Probably the year I dressed up as a devil. I loved that one.


4. What are you going to be this year?
Halloween is obviously over but I dressed up as a Dementor. It wasn't a great costume, as it was cheap and homemade but it was fun anyway.


5. Do you like going to haunted attractions?
Yes, although I do scare very easily.


6. Vampires or werewolves?
Seriously? Why is everyone so obsessed with Twilight?


7. Favourite Halloween candy?
The UK don't really have Halloween candy but I do love the toffee apples even if I didn't see any this year *sad face*


8. Do you decorate your house?
No simply because Halloween isn't a big deal in the UK.


9. Least favourite costume
I don't really have one


10. Have you ever repeated a costume, and what was it?
Yes. When I was little, pretty much every year I would be a Witch, with the odd exception.


11. Do you believe in ghosts?
I believe in life after death if that counts


12. Scariest Halloween?
I don't have one really. Although one year we went to The Chester Dungeons and that was pretty scary and I was only about 12 at the time.


That is it for this post. I hope that you enjoyed it, even if it was a little bit late. 


Talk to you all soon

October Favourites

Happy November beautiful people. It is obviously that time of month again (not that one fortunately) I know that I don't do these every month, simply because I don't have new favourites every month. Which is why I think I should just do Ins and Outs posts, although they can be slightly different to Favourite posts. Anyway, I don't have many favourites but what I do have I thought I would share with you all.

First thing I have been loving for about 2 months now is lip balm. To me it is a perfect obsession for this time of year because the cold dries out your lips and you don't want that. I am constantly re-applying my lip balm and I love it. I have used up about 1 and a half full lip balms recently and I have never used up a single lip balm in my entire life. I feel that is an achievement.

The second thing I am loving at the moment is the Pedicure System available from Agros. This is not only for use on your feet, but also has a nail buffer attachment which I use on my finger nails. It is amazing and is much better and quicker than those 3 section buffer things that I used to use. The other attachments: a pumice, a foot file and a foot brush, are perfect for my feet. They are really helping to make my feet soft. I haven't used on my feet in a couple of weeks and already they are getting dry and chapped again so I am definitely going to start using it again.

Other things I have been loving is wearing make-up. I stopped wearing it for a while but I started wearing it again last week and love it. I won't start wearing it every day again because I don't always have time but I will be wearing it a lot more again.
I have also been loving my skin care routine but more on that in tomorrows post.
I am obsessed with two songs at the moment: Abigail's song by Katherine Jenkins and O Children by Nick Cave. I have listened to these on repeat basically all month, with the occasional break and a different song, like today. But I can never bore of these songs, they are truly amazing.

Links to wear you can buy or listen to some of the things mentioned:
The tube lip balm is from Primark so there is no link but they are only £1 so I would go buy some :)
Pedicure system
Abigail's song
O Children

I hope you enjoyed this post. Let me know your favourites of the month in the comments below.

Talk to you all tomorrow

Nails of the week

Hey there girlies,

Here is my nails of the week.

This week I am wearing New York by Nails Inc. It was from their Diet Coke range so unfortunately is unavailable now *sad face*

I chose to wear a hot pink colour this week, even though it is more of a summer colour, because tomorrow is Halloween and I have decided to dress up as Barbie for school. I chose Barbie because it is appropriate for school time, otherwise I would've gone for something a bit more like my Dementor costume.
You will see the outfit tomorrow and I am really excited for it!

Talk to you all tomorrow

Study series #2: My biggest tips

So girlies I planned on doing this as my study area but I'm in the middle of organising it at the moment so I don't feel like I should do it. It will be ready for next weeks study post, so look out for it.
Anyway today's post is my two biggest tips when studying.

Tip number 1:
Find a place where you don't get distracted but you feel comfortable. For me I work better on the floor when I'm not using my computer but I always work at my desk when typing. Some of you might find it better sitting on your bed, but I don't recommend that because it can be hard to concentrate on your bed. Another thing about working on your bed is that it might either make you want to sleep, or stop you from sleeping when you're not working. I try and have an area for work and an area for pleasure because for me that is the best way to get me to work effectively and it also helps to differentiate between work and pleasure, stopping me from getting distracted.
You might even find that you work better out of the house and at the library. I love working in the library and do feel like I get more work done there.
It is entirely up to you where you study but just think of a place where you won't get distracted. Never forget that you do need to be comfortable otherwise you won't be able to concentrate.

Tip number 2:
Pray before starting any homework. This one is obviously optional depending on whether or not you are Religious. I obviously am, hence why this is one of my biggest tips. I feel that praying for motivation and patience before starting any work helps me a lot because I feel God is with me, helping me to keep working, and without Him I couldn't do it all. I'm not going to force any of you to start praying, but I really do suggest it. Even if you aren't religious, give it ago and trust me you will feel brilliant and really work hard.

I really hope these tips work for you. As always let me know your tips so I can get better at studying. Also if you do try either of these out, let me know if they work for you.

Talk to you all tomorrow with my Nails of the week.

Tag: What's your fragrance?

Hey girlies,
So I have literally just read this tag on ElleandBlair.com and thought that it would be a fun post to do, simply because I love fragrance.
Onto the questions:
1.Fruity, Floral, Warm, Spicy or Food smell?
   Fruity/floral in the summer and Warm/spicy in the winter

2. Body spray or perfume?
    Perfume because it lasts longer. Although sometimes I find perfumes can smell chemically so maybe I choose Body spray

3.  What's your all time favourite perfume?
     Far Away by Avon. I feel like it is perfect for both winter and summer because it isn't too spicy or fruity.

4. What's your all time favourite body spray?
    I think it's called Kissed by Avon unfortunately though you can't buy it any more, but I do love the Vanilla scented body spray by Boots, it is so yummy.

5. What fragrance are you wearing right now?
     The Vanilla scented body spray from Boots. I normally wear both perfume and body spray but today I felt more natural so just put on some body spray.

Well that is it for this post. If you have done this tag leave the link in the comment below, because I would love to read it. If you haven't I tag you to do it because it is so much fun!

Hope you enjoyed this post and I will talk to you all soon

Nails of the week

Hey my gorgeous girlies!

Here is my nails of the week for you all! I think I have posted this colour before but I love it and it is what I am wearing this week so I'm doing it again!

I took a picture of my nails with the flash on and off, not sure that either are that good, but I feel like you can get  the right colour from the picture of the bottle.

The colour is Beatrice by Andrea Fulerton nail boutique which is exclusive to Superdrug.

I love this brand, about as much as I love Barry M or Avon. The texture is really good and it lasts a while without chipping, which is good if you only change your nail polish once a week.

I highly recommend this brand and colour! I feel that the colour is perfect for Autumn/winter and for Halloween (although I'm painting my nails black for my costume) The brand is really cheap, costing only £4.99 and you can buy it here.

Let me know what you think!

DFTBA
