This or That

this or that tag

I thought that I would do the 'this or that tag' to start this month's posts off. I love doing tag posts and it looked incredibly fun to do!

Lipgloss or Lipstick - Lipstick, just because I don't own any lipgloss anymore.

Eyeliner or Mascara - Even though eyeliner makes a great difference to my eyes, I would be able to live without it. I need my mascara, if not you can't see my eyelashes. (They're blonde.)

Neutral or Colour Eyeshadow - Even though I love coloured eyeshadow, I so much prefer neutral. Plus, it's my everyday look.

Pressed or Loose Eyeshadows - Pressed. They're less messy and easy.
Long or Short - I prefer short. Long nails creep me out. 

Acrylic or Natural - Natural.

Bright or Dark - Bright. Even though I love the dark colours in the Autumn and Winter, brights are always prettier!

Flower or No Flower - No flower. 


Lotion or Body Butter - Body lotion.

Body Wash or Soap - Body wash.

Lush or Other bath company - Lush. Although I do love nspa - plus, it's cheaper.

Jeans or Sweatpants - Jeans for definite.

Long Sleeve or Short - Short sleeved. I don't really own many long sleeved tops and I get warm very quickly.

Studs or Dangly Earrings - Studs.

Necklace or Bracelets - I wear both but I do prefer necklaces.

Heels or Flats - I wear flats all day everyday but if I'm going out clubbing or it's a special occasion, hands down it's heels!

Curly or Straight - This is so hard! I'm going to say straight as I have extra thick long hair so curls fall out super quick. 

Hairspray or Gel - Hairspray.

Long or Short - Long, all the way! I don't suit short hair. 

Up or Down - Down. A lot of people say that they prefer my hair up though.

Rain or Shine - This one's hard, I don't really prefer either. I'm going to go with rain just because I love wearing cosy jumpers, coats, jeans and boots and I love staying indoors wrapped up in cosy blankets and watching movies. Phew.

Summer or Winter - Wow. They are both my favourite seasons! I love Winter because of Christmas and the fashion and how cosy it can be. I love Summer because the of the nice weather and the amount of stuff you can do.

Autumn or Spring - Autumn! I love the Autumn colours and the leaves falling etc. 


I tag all of you reading this to do this post! If you do this tag let me know as I would love to see what you prefer.

What I've Bought This Month: October 2015


 Happy Halloween!
I have bought some lovely stuff throughout this month (the majority of it being makeup) and I just had to share what I bought with you!

New look leather boots

I have wanted some decent winter boots for ages. I do own a couple of pairs of boots but they're suede - so they're not waterproof and quite useless when it rains. Anyway, I took a trip to my favourite shop to buy shoes and found these beautiful boots. 
They have a knitted cuff inside which I thought was different and you could tuck it in if you didn't like it with a certain outfit. I find these very easy to walk in and they go with pretty much all of my outfits. £29.99 from New Look.

Boux Avenue set

When I saw that Boux Avenue had a sale on, I just had to go online and check out what was in the sale. I had my eyes peeled on this bra but in a coral colour - unfortunately they didn't have my size. Then I found it in this colour and I just had to get it! It was £26 gone down to £12, how good is that!? 

Whilst I was on there, I thought that I would treat myself and buy matching knickers although they weren't in the sale. They cost me £10.


batiste light and blonde dry shampoo

These have both been my go-to products this month! They are amazing!

Batiste Dry Shampoo- I have been loving this! This is absolutely fabulous for blonde hair. This has been great when my root regrowth has been terrible - it looks like your roots have been refreshed. I will never go back to using normal dry shampoo again. If you have blonde hair you need to go and purchase this and you will see how amazing it really is! £2.66 from Boots.

L'Oreal Paris Elnett Satin Hairspray- I have always loved L'Oreal hairspray's, they're so strong. I have incredibly thick and long hair and when I wear my hair in a bun, this is a life saver! My hair stays up for the whole day and this hairspray is also fantastic for volume. P.s this one is limited edition so go and get your hands on it now. £2.60 from Boots.

barry m bold white eyeliner

After a twitter chat about Autumn makeup I decided to go out and buy this. As I'm pale and I like to wear Autumn eyeshadow colours such as reds, purples, pinks etc... the colours make me look like I have been punched in the eyes. A lovely wise blogger advised me to use a white eyeliner pencil to change that. I must admit, it doesn't look so bad now. £3.99 from Boots.

maybelline lash sensational review

As I needed a new mascara, I decided to finally jump on the bandwagon and buy the new Maybelline mascara. Lash Sensational! I was so so excited to try this out and I absolutely love it. When I use other mascaras, throughout the day the inner lashes look very short (like they're not even there) because I don't use eyelash curlers.

This mascara looks good throughout the whole day and makes my lashes look longer and fuller. And, I don't get the look of the 'short inner lashes.' £7.99 from Boots.

l'oreal lip liner and lipstick

 I bought both of these at the same time. I needed a new lipstick so I headed straight to the L'Oreal section of Superdrug and I decided to buy this one. It's a shimmery pink colour - not too dark and not too light. Greige Amoureux - £6.99 from Superdrug.

I then decided to buy a lip liner. I couldn't find the lip liner that matched the lipstick because it wasn't there for some reason. So I headed to Boots and that wasn't in stock either. Anyhow, this lip liner goes well with the lipstick anyway. I sometimes even wear the lip liner on it's own just because I love the colour and it looks just like a matte lipstick. I get so many compliments on this liner. Bois de Rose - £3.99 from Boots.

rimmel london one of a kind lipstick

  I wanted a new red lipstick and I thought that I'd give Rimmel a try. This is a quite dark red colour and I haven't decided yet if it suits me or not. It is quite hard to apply because of how flat it is, it hasn't got the pointed end like most lipsticks. Being honest, I do make such a mess with this lipstick. I'll have to invest in a red lip liner. One of a Kind - £6.99 from Boots.


That is everything that I purchased this month. Do let me know if you go and buy any of these as I would love to read your opinion on them. Have a great Halloween whatever you're doing!

Night Out : Silver Shimmer Eye & Rose Lip

Hello lovelies!

I created a gorgeous make-up look and I just had to share it with you. I'm usually really useless with make-up ideas, but I was so happy once I created this look.

silver shimmer eye

Starting off with the base I used the shade 'Biscuit' from the Eyes Uncovered Palette in Nude from Collection. The rest of the shades that I used in this look are from the Ultra 32 Shade Eyes Like Angels Eyeshadow Palette from Makeup Revolution.


I went straight in and put 'Silver Star' at the outer corner of my lid and in the crease a little at a time. I then worked my way inwards with a blending brush to create a fading effect with the base shade.
Next, I used a smaller eyeshadow brush and dabbed the shade 'Lilac Frost' all over the lid. I then blended that in very lightly.
Next, I added some 'White Light' to the inner corners of my eyes to enhance the make-up. I also dabbed it on top of my highlight on my brow bone very lightly as I didn't want it too shimmery.

I then carefully applied my liquid liner - I'm terrible at applying this but I personally think that I done quite well! I put on a thin layer of mascara and then applied my Eyelure Sexy SeƱorita lashes which I luuurve.

rose lip

Believe it or not, this is lip liner on it's own! Ok, so what's wrong with that? I absolutely love the colour and I've had so many compliments on it and questions asking "What lipstick is that?"

I thought that this colour was quite subtle and went well with the eye make-up so I went for it!
This is the L'Oreal Paris Les Lipliner Couture in the shade 302 Bois de Rose. I just want it in every shade, let me just put that out there!

Oh, and I also contoured properly for the first time in my life..

My First Tattoo

For years, I have wanted this exact tattoo so I knew that I wouldn't regret it. Once I turned 18 I knew that it was time to book it.

I was so excited for my tattoo day to come around, back in July. I wasn't really nervous, I was mostly excited. Probably because I didn't know what to expect.



It's a very little simple tattoo. I'm a lover of all those little simple tattoo's scattered about on people's bodies. I love everything about tattoos and I love big pieces on other people, I just wouldn't get a massive piece myself.

I got this little treble clef tattoo as I have always loved music, ever since a young age. Most of my family members are music lovers too so that's probably where it comes from. My great uncle was in a well known band and my grandad used to sing now and then.

I'm not going into too much of the meaning of this tattoo - all I'm going to say is that I couldn't go a day without listening to music. It makes me happy. Music has also helped me get through bad times in my life.


Some places were really painful but overall, it barely hurt.
I'd say that the tattoo was a 4/10 and the most painful parts were a 6.5/10.
