TAG: Confessions of a beauty blogger

So I was scrolling through one of my favourite blogs and came across this tag. Life has been so hectic lately so I haven't really had time to do any blog posts so hopefully for now this will do and during Christmas I will be able to get some more beauty posts up!

1. How many hours a week do you spend writing / editing posts?
It depends on what I'm doing, if I'm on a break from college then I try and do a few posts during the week and then schedule them to come up during the month. If I'm at college then sadly not many posts get written!

2. Are you a spender or saver?

Hmm, Now I would like to think I'm a saver but in reality I really think I'm a spender! I try my best to save money but it always seems lately at the end of the month I'm left with no money!

3. When is it easier for you to blog? 

When I have lots of free time, I hate trying to rush a blog post. I like to blog mainly when I have days of from college and work.


4. What makes writing behind a computer comfortable for you? 

Not too sure how to take this question but for me I have to be in comfy clothing so some jogging bottoms and in a comfortable chair or my bed. 

5. What is your worst make up / hair habit? 

I know everyone will moan at me but I have been so bad for forgetting to take my makeup off lately! I know it's awful but I just can't seem to remember/ have the effort. For hair I would say I often forget to use heat protection, Eeek!

6. What is one quote you wish the world lived by? 

"Treat others how you wish to be treated" This is a quote that I try and live my life by..

7. How long do you spend getting ready every day? 

If I'm just going out to town or work then probably about 30 minutes, If I'm going to a party I like to leave myself an hour. I love pondering around doing nothing when I'm getting ready! haha 

8. Who's your favourite blogger?
Ooo there are far to many to name! To name a couple I love essiebutton and sineaddreamingagain. 

9. Who is a blogger that you think deserves more subscribers than they have?

I really thing Couturegirl so should have some many more followers then she does, her blog posts are fantastic! 


10. What is one thing you are excited about in the upcoming year?

Finishing my college course and hopefully getting into the beauty world! 

11. What is you most awkward blogging moment?

Erm, I can't say i really have any, well not that I can remember. One thing I hate is when I spell something wrong in a blog post!

12. How long does it take you to prepare a post?

If I'm taking pictures and trying to be fancy with my writing then probably about half a day, If I'm writing a tag then about 30 minutes to an hour. 

13. Are you wearing trousers right now or jogging pants / PJ bottoms?

I am currently wearing the most comfiest jogging bottoms from matalan!

14. What are you most proud of in life?

To some it may seem like nothing, but at the start of last year I was doing my A-levels. About a month in I realised I had been pushed into doing them by teachers and that I really hated what I was doing. So I rang up a college I had applied to and asked if they had any places left and luckily they did, I had to join a class of about 20 girls who had already got to know each other, I was so scared! I'm so glad I did it though, in case any of you are wondering I took beauty therapy in college. 

I tag: ALL OF YOU!

I found this blog post on DreamingAgain.

October favourties 2013!

This month I have been loving using these 3 haircare products. These are the toni&guy reconstructive shampoo, conditioner and mask. Since day one of using these products I have noticed a massive difference in how my hair looks, they make my hair so shiny and super soft. My favourite from the bunch has to the mask, this has been really helping keep my dry ends in good order. I will be defitnley repurchasing this at one point but first I want to try some bits from Tigi!

This has been a favourite of mine for a long time but this month I have been on top of my skincare and remembering to use this everyday! This is the Avene extremely gentle cleanser. It is a tissue of formula so no need to use water on the face which is great for people who have sensitive skin! I use this every morning and it helps to settle my sensitive skin and make sure my skin is lovely and clean prior to makeup application. I still use my clinique TTDO cleansing balm at night.

I haven't been using too much makeup this month so this is the only bit I have consistently. I wont go on too much as I have recently done a post on this. But in a nutshell it is a buttery, glossy lipstick that I have been using everyday. It is in the shade Berry smoothie and is a medium pinky berry tone, gorgeous!

Thanks so much for reading!

Revlon lip butter: Berry smoothie review!

When I was in boots the other day I saw that the revlon lip butters had £2 off, Berry smoothie is a shade I have been wanting for quite some time now but never got round to purchasing it. With the discount I couldn't say no and in my basket it went. I'm so glad I picked it up as it has become a staple in my every day makeup ever since. The lipsticks come in plastic packaging and each shade is the same on the lipstick as it is on the packaging, which I've always thought was pretty cool! Lip butters are so smooth and creamy and have fantastic pigmentation. The colour I picked up is berry smoothie which is a gorgeous rasberry pink shade, it is such a lovely neutral colour but adds some colour to my lips. One thing I really like about revlon lip butters is that the color can be built up, apply one swipe for a wash off colour or build up for a more intense shade. 

Top- one swipe

Bottom- several swipes

Do you own any lip butters? Which one is your favourite?

Thanks for reading!
