Beauty and Fashion Tag

Hey guys!

A few weeks ago Elizabeth from Elizabeth's Diary tagged me in the beauty and fashion tag and I completely forgot about it (oops). But anyway, I shall now give it ago!

1. Would you rather shop at MAC or Sephora for the rest of your life? 

To be totally honest I don't even know what Sephora is so I shall have to go with MAC, but I like MAC's stuff so its all good.

2. If you could which designer would you want to meet? 

Well, I guess that now Emma Roberts has designed her own jewellery range she counts as a designer right?

3. What is your favourite type of Lush and Bath and Body works product? 

I love Lush (who doesn't) but I can never shop there because I always feel like I am just wasting their products but I do have an obsession with a christmas body wash they always bring out called 'Snow Fairy' so I always try and stock up on it for the year.

4. If you had to shop at 4 places for the rest of your life including makeup and clothing which places would they be? 

Superdrug, New Look, House of Fraser (I like all the dresses) and Boots? 

5. Would you rather have a lip gloss or lip stick? 

I feel like lipstick just looks stupid on me and same for bright coloured lip glosses but I like really light coloured lip glosses.

6. What is your favourite brand of makeup? 

Rimmel London

7. Do you dress up like a tomboy, edgy girl, or girly girl? 

 I guess a mixture of all of them? I love dresses but I don't wear them that much and I have some really nice tops but I am normally in jeans.

8. Would you rather have a lot of clothes but not designer or a couple of designer clothes but no other clothes? 

Loads of clothes, I would feel worried about ruining my nice ones!

9. Would you rather go to a fashion show front row seats for Marc Jacobs for free or a shopping spree of 1,000 pounds?

Shopping spree! I am no good with keeping up with fashion etc so it would be wasted on me.

10. What's your favourite type of mascara? 

Rimmel London Extra Super Lash, I am never not wearing it!

11. If you could have any job in the world what would it be?

If I am supposed to say something fashion or make related I may fail on this question but honestly? I would want my own second hand bookshop where I can just sit and read all day while selling books.

I tag:

Renata - About me, my life, my art

Mo - Everything Mo

Emily - A lifestyle in luxe

The Blogger Tag!

Hello! The other day I discovered that Mo on Everything Mo had tagged me in The Blogger tag! It is so lovely and exciting to get tags especially since I haven't been blogging that long :)

1) Why did you start blogging?

 

To be honest I'm not exactly sure why, it just looked really exciting and a great thing to be part of. I attempted a craft blog a year ago but I didn't have the time or energy to keep making bracelets that I would blog about so it just became a lost cause but I fancied  giving it another try and here I am! :)

2) Who's your idol?

This is such a hard question because I don't really have one but then there are so many people I could say are my idol like Diane Fossey for all her work with gorillas (I want to do that one day) or some of the authors I read.

3) If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be?

The jungle! Or rainforest or just the middle of nowhere. I love forests and just being in the middle of nowhere and the jungle has so many interesting creatures in I think it would just be in heaven (as long as i had bug spray). But then I would want a house just so I could decorate it the way I want with bright white walls and pops of colour and lot's and lot's of books so I guess I will have to settle for the middle of nowhere.

4) What's your signature scent?

This is probably really boring compared to everyone else but it's a Superdrug own brand called 'Seduce' and ever since I brought one, it has been the only thing I have sprayed myself with, I really love it.

5) What's your favourite makeup brand?

I am so rubbish when it comes to makeup! I have my everyday routine including foundations and eyeliner and that is it. But I think I shall go with Rimmel as it's where most of my products are from.

6) Would you choose high street or high end fashion?

High street. My fashion sense is awful and I am so bad at shopping for clothes. I find my favourite tops and jeans and thats what I am happy wearing until they give up on me (my favourite jeans ripped the other day and it broke my heart). 

7) What's your favourite song?

My favourite song changes constantly but right now I will have to go for Westside off the new Kooks album.

8) What's your favourite album?

This changes with my mood but at the moment, the new Kooks album, Listen.

9) Facebook, Twitter or Instagram?

I haven't used Facebook for over a year now, I have days where I love Instagram and days where I completely forget about it so I am definitely a Twitter person.

10) Which celebrity styles inspire you?

Since I am not a fashionable person I think I am aloud to like a man's style (I'm not copying it, I'm not that bad) but I like Luke Pritchard's jumpers and strange trousers (Kook's theme starting - no shame). I also like Emma Robert's style ALOT but I am hopeless at keeping up with it.

11) What's your best Holiday?

CHRISTMAS! All my friends and family know what a christmas lover I am and I have no shame in it at all. I love the lead up to it, all the gold and red decorations and the cold and the films and the happiness and the roast dinners and the fires and the snow (hopefully) and all the treats and rubbish food you are aloud to eat. I also love going shopping and buying everyone presents and cards.

I would like to tag;

Renata at 'About Me, My Life, My Art' (she does the most beautiful art)

Elizabeth at 'Elizabeth's Diary' 

Megan at 'Room With A Bloom'

Charlotte at 'Heart Full Of Dreams'

'Beauty Girl Blog'

Not particularly but I am quite good at making crafty things.

8. What is the best  book you've read recently?
