Spooooooky tag!



1. What is your favorite Halloween movie?

It has to be Hocus Pocus, if you haven't watched... WATCH IT

2. What is your fondest Halloween memory?

One year, we had a party and my mum decorated the whole house! Literally, all the walls were covered with bin bags. It was so fun, and because I was so little I didn't have to help tidy up haha :)

3. Have you always been a Halloween lover?

Not really, I was the sort of kid that didn't like dressing up if I looked silly. I used to go in a massive strop if I felt I looked stupid (baring in mind I was the kid that mum decided to put my hair into a million different plaits/mini buns on my head). Now though, I don't really care haha and the fact mum can't decide what I wear anymore.

4. How do you get into the Halloween spirit? 

Watching lots of Halloween movies and baking Halloween cupcakes, I've never carved a pumpkin before so this year I want to give it a try (even if I now it will turn into an epic fail)

5. Favorite Halloween decorations?
I love seeing pumpkins that are lit up, they're so cute (even if they're not meant to be)

6. Favorite candy?
Anything thats cherry flavored, I love sour sweets too!

7. Vampires or zombies?

VAMPIRES, purely because I'm a sucker (no pun intended haha) for the Cullen Family from Twilight.

8. What is your weird/odd fear(s)?

I can't stand feet, anyone who knows me knows not to put their feet near me. I don't like birds either, especially them bloody seagulls that feel the need to fly over your head for ages. If there's birds above me, I don't look like the coolest person in the world.

I tag everyone who loves Halloween!

Hope you enjoyed another tag, I quite like doing them because it means you can find out a bit more about me and I love reading others!

Thankyou for reading!

No one likes dry, chapped lips!

It's getting colder and for many it means we get dry, chapped lips because of the cold :( I hate having them so I have a few products to hopefully stop it happening...



I have two high-street drugstore ones. I heard all the rave about Maybelline Baby Lips so I made the time to go to my local shopping center and purchase them. Luckily at the time I went they were 2 for £5 (£2.99 each) in Superdrug so I bought the 'Cherry Me' (I love anything cherry if you didn't already know) one and the 'Hydrate' one.





I can't actually describe how good these work, if your lips are already dry then I'd recommend the 'Hydrate' one because it instantly repairs and gives them their moisture back. If you just want to prevent them from chapping and still want some colour on your lips, I'd recommend the 'Cherry Me' one or any of the other tinted ones like Pink Punch. You can feel the sugar particles in the 'Cherry Me' one and I quite like the texture of it instead of the usual slippy slidey feel.





I have a slightly more expensive one which you may have seen in Miley Cyrus' music video of 'We Can't Stop'. It's called EOS Lip Balm, I have it in strawberry sorbet and it smells so good, there are a range of different flavors/scents. It's quite small for how much it costs but I really wanted to try it out, it has a nice texture too. It instantly gives moisture to your lips and makes them look so nice! I



I'd recommend these products for autumn/winter if you don't want dry, chapped lips :)

Thankyou for reading!

Tag, Tag, Tag!


Favourite thing about it? I love layering up and going out; then coming in, getting your pyjamas on and sitting next to the fire.

Favourite drink? I've recently developed an unhealthy obsession for coffee, the smell makes me so happy.

Favourite scent/candle? Either sweet vanilla or cherry (which is my favourite of all time, I am obsessed with anything cherry scented)

Best lipstick? I've just ordered Revlon's Colour Burst Lipstick in the colour Sienna (055) which I'm very excited to try out, I've started to like my MUA Wild Berry lipstick too.

Go to moisturizer? Definitely my Simple Kind to Skin Hydrating Light Moisturizer,it's just popped up on my September Favourites post.

Go to colour for the eyes? I love warm, neutral shades in Autumn, them sort of colours just set off your outfit.

Favourite outfit to wear? Either a fluffy jumper paired with some skinnies or a skater dress with some thick tights. Then a big, warm coat with a cosy scarf.

Autumn treat? I think I'm going to treat myself to a new winter coat, but I'm struggling to find one I like that no one else has and will keep me warm. (HELP)

Favourite place to be? I love my bed all year round but during autumn/winter time I love just coming home, getting some comfy clothes on and sprawling on my bed. Or in the morning when it's so cold you just want to stay in bed for that 'extra couple of minutes' which end up being a lot longer!

This is the first time I've done a tag and I quite enjoyed it!

I tag all you autumn lovers :)

Speak Soon ♥

September Favourites!

Hello again, haven't posted in AGES because I've been so so busy at work and college :(

Where has September gone? It doesn't seem two minutes since I did my August favourites!

I've been buying lots of new products in September and here are some of my favourites...

Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation


This has popped up again because it's my best foundation I've used yet, I buy it over and over again!









Simple Skincare Products  

Kind to Skin Refreshing Facial Wash Gel

I use this first, it takes away most of my makeup off and starts to make me feel refreshed.










Kind to Skin Purifying Cleansing Lotion





I apply this to my face with a cotton pad, it removes any extra makeup that didn't come off with my facial wash.







Kind to Skin Soothing Facial Toner 




I've never really known what toners are for, but now I do and feel the benefits, I wish I'd started using it before. It shrinks pores, protects your from impurities and refreshes your skin.







Kind to Skin Hydrating Light Moisturizer (recommended by BubzBeauty)




Once I've done all this, I like to moisturize to keep my skin from becoming dry like it usually does. I find wearing makeup dries my skin out so using this last restores the moisture that has been taken out from my makeup.





These products are great for sensitive, dry skin; with me having eczema this doesn't irritate me because they aren't perfumed and are perfect for sensitive skin. I can't stand going to bed feeling like my face still has makeup on it, I like to have a fresh face. They were all around £2 each so were a bargain!

Argan Oil Hair Products

Heat Defence Leave-in Spray



I use this after I've washed my hair
before I blow-dry it, after spraying I brush it through and it protects my hair from the heat.










Intensive Hair Treatment



I don't use this everyday, I only use it when my hair feels particularly dry at the ends. I pour a tiny little bit onto my palm and spread it on my hand, then I apply it to my ends. It almost instantly gives my hair moisture back and makes it look in great condition. TIP: don't apply it to the roots, it makes your hair really greasy.





Hair Mask (crept up again)





I use this on my 'pamper days' or when my hair feels a little dry, it makes my hair feel in such better condition.








Shampoo + Conditioner



I don't use any other shampoo and conditioner now, using these and all my other products have made my hair feel and look a lot better than it did.








Makeup Academy Products

Pro Brow Kit




You may have seen this from my Makeup Academy Haul, I've used it everyday since and I've had many comments about my brows since using them. Before, I didn't put anything on my brows but now they stand out and look so much more defined.






Stippling Brush (F2) 



This was also in my Makeup Academy Haul, I use it to blend in my concealer and it works really well. The brush is soft and there's no bristles that come out. (I hate it when that happens)








Some new and some old products which I have loved this September, I'd recommend any of these products!

Thankyou for reading, it makes so happy:)
