Infinity Dreams Award Tag ♡

I saw this tag on Gwennan's blog Twenty Something Meltdown-a new favourite of mine, and she kinda tagged anyone so I thought I'd give it  a go, purely because I'm lacking inspiration lately, to be honest I've been struggling a lot with my anxiety and just life in general, I know they say moving house is one of the most stressful things you can do, but I wasn't expecting this much, but this should be a nice distraction so let's give it a go.

You start with 11 facts about yourself, then answer the 11 questions the person before you has left and then ask 11 questions of your own, 11's my lucky number so I kinda love this tag already.

11 Facts About Me-

1-I'm a Scorpio, it's so accurate and I'm a little superstitious.

2-I'm moving to Southampton next month and I actually wanted to move here when I was 16 but had no idea it would actually happen.

3-I don't believe in guilty pleasures, if I want to listen to One Direction and watch Loose Women on youtube I have no regrets.

4-I have a very addictive personality, to the point where I will eat the same foods over and over until I'm sick of them.

5-I both really want to, and really don't want to learn to drive and it drives (pun not intended) both me and my family insane.

6-I've been vegetarian for about 9 months now and am so happy for it, but hate that people seem to judge me for it, everyone makes out like vegetarians and vegans try to force their opinions down peoples throats but for me it's been much the opposite.

7-I worked in a night club/bar for two years and it might not be for everyone but I actually loved it, you meet the best people and it helped my confidence so much.

8-I have four tattoos and I definitely think they're addictive.

9-I used to be a Ravenclaw on Pottermore, but am now a Gryffindor and I'm not sure how I feel about that.

10-I love reading, I always have a book on the go and am always buying more, it's an addiction.

11-I used to be really into quotes, but my favourite now is "don't let the muggles get you down" from Ron in Harry Potter, not the deepest or most inspirational but it's perfectly simple

11 Questions From Gwennan-

1-Why did you decide to take on this tag?  as I mentioned before I've been feeling quite uninspired, and the ideas that I do have for blog posts are ones that are taking me a while to work on, so this was something reasonably fast I could get up and I love reading these, so thought if I did one myself it could be fun

2-Give us an intro to your blog and your brand? this sounds really official, my blog is just my little bit of the internet that I use to talk about whatever I want to, it's definitely not a brand or anything, it's just an outlet for the things I'm passionate about.

3-What's your absolute worst habit? other than the usual being my worst critic, I'd probably say being too spendy, I spend too much money and have no real self restraint, it's not to a dangerous level but it annoys me.

4-Where's the best place you've every travelled? I haven't really travelled very much, I love the coast so my trip to Brighton last year was lovely, but my favourite proper trip was probably to Holland with  my mum, because it was so cool being in a different atmosphere than I'm used to.

5-What's your current TV fix? I mentioned it in my last two favourites posts but Buffy is a major TV/Netflix addiction right now, but I've also been hooked on watching Loose Women clips on youtube lately, it's really interesting and I love that they have short clips of it on youtube.

6-What's your favourite thing about yourself? give yourself some love! Probably my resilience and strength, it might not seem like it when I'm going through tough times but I'm so proud that I always get myself through, especially with my anxiety, for never letting it fully beat me, I might cancel plans sometimes but that's more to give me a break from the exhaustion of fighting it, it isn't me giving in.

7-Who's your biggest inspiration and why? I find many people inspirational but someone lately I particularly admire is Carrie Fletcher, she's living proof that hard work and determination pay off and that your childhood dreams can come true, her book All I Know Now is so inspirational and her personality and character is just incredible.

8-What's your blogging pet peeve? If this is referring to a pet peeve on my own blog it's probably that I seem to get "stuck" all the time, but I think that's just a side effect of the fact that I have a lot going on lately, if it applies to other people I'm not going to mention names or anything but it's the bigger bloggers who seem to just regurgitate press releases, feature brand new products that they've been given and whether they are sincere or not their reviews just seem to be hollow, I don't know if that sounds bitchy but it's bothered me for  a while, also people who are lucky enough to be "Full Time Bloggers" who don't seem to appreciate how lucky they are, complaining about meetings and the amount of samples they have to get through, I'm not trying to hate though and I know that they must have worked hard to get to their positions, it's just disheartening sometimes.

9-What's your day job? I work in a beauty/makeup shop as a key holder/sales assistant, but I am leaving in a month and I'm so sad to be leaving the job and the people.

10-What can't you resist when you're out shopping? At the moment it seems to be underwear, I have a slight addiction to buying cute underwear and socks, but also little home bits and pieces, so far I only have a couple of bits for the flat but I love looking for homeware and watching hauls for them.

11-What have you got planned for the rest of 2016? Next month I'm moving to Southampton, so will be decorating and finding a new job, then it will be settling in, getting comfortable in a completely new place but not much after that, I think we're just going to find out feet and then go from there.

My 11 Questions-

1-What is your number one Netflix/TV/Movie recommendation? 

2-If you were magic what would your patronus be? (From Harry Potter-if you don't know what it is, what animal is most represents you?)

3-If you could create any Lush product what would it be, and what would you call it?

4-What are your favourite shops to shop in?

5-What's your favourite thing about the place you live? 

6-What three words best describe you?

7-What trends (fashion, beauty or anything) are you hoping to see this year or next?

8-What is your number one top makeup/fashion tip?

9-If you could have any book made into a film/TV show what would it be?

10-Do you have any tattoos? Would you like any?

11-What is your favourite quote?

Like Gwennan I'm not going to tag anyone in particular, just whoever feels like it, I hope this wasn't too long but it was nice to have something to concentrate on, thankyou for reading if you made it this far, let me know on twitter if you give this a go

April Favourites 2016 ♡

I struggled to pick things to put in my April favourites at first, but I think I have a nice little selection of things to show, it's a little late but never late than never right?

April absolutely flew by and my makeup didn't really change much so there isn't much to talk about..so maybe that will stop me rambling so much?

I really got into using my Mac Blue Brown pigment with smokey eye looks and love the way it can change a look and make it so much prettier, it's a gorgeous brown with blue and green pearl and looks amazing with a brown smokey eye. On my days off I really got into a simpler eye look using the Maybelline colour tattoo in Pink Gold with the Top Shop Chameleon Glow in Wax and Wane and it makes a really pretty simple look, perfect for if you don't want to spend ages on your makeup or if you're in a rush.

Teddy Bear, Blue Brown, Pink Gold, Wax & Wane, eyeshadows combined, 1995

I've been really into liquid lipsticks lately and Limecrime's Teddy Bear and Gerard Cosmetics 1995 have been alternating on my lips all month, they are similar but I feel like they're different enough to justify me wearing both of them, they are pretty nudes, they might be better for autumn and winter but I love them so much!

On my nails I've been loving Barry M's Sunset polish in All The Things She Red, it's a gorgeous orange/red/tomato colour, which is probably one of my favourite colours ever! I've also been loving the L'Oreal Colour Riche nail polish in Rose Ballet, I've heard a lot about these polishes but this was the only colour that really stood out to me and I've been wearing it a lot, it's a really pretty colour and I think it has a perfume scent when it dries (I could be wrong..but it smells nice when it's dried)
I discovered Spectrum brushes this month and became slightly obsessed with them, I've got lots of them now but these are just some of my favourites, they are really affordable and lovely quality.
Lastly I've still been loving my YSL Black Opium but when I've been wanting something lighter I've been reaching for my Victoria's Secret Pure Daydream body spray, it smells so nice and summery.

I read and loved two books this month, the first is the sequel to The Rosie Project, The Rosie Effect. This book is really amusing and funny but kept me hooked still, it's been a nice break from reading heavier, darker books and I would love for there to be more of these! I think they're making a film of the first book and honestly I could really get into seeing more of these characters!
Speaking of darker books..I've absolutely been loving reading Burnt Paper Sky by Gilly Macmillan, I love that this book is set in Bristol and the storyline is really gripping. I really really (really) think that this book would make an amazing second season of Thirteen (the TV show that was in my favourites last month)
I've basically just been watching Buffy again all month but I've also been really getting into watching the Saccone Joly vlogs again, I've developed a routine of watching the night before's vlog while getting ready for work in the morning and have been loving it! I've been watching them for a while on and off but since watching Anna's snapchats I've started watching them more, I just wanted to say, even though they will likely never see this, that I wish them all the best and am sending my love to them after what they have been through. ♡

That's it this month, I have a feeling I'll have more to talk about next month but I'll likely also be a lot more disorganised and stressed as I am now less than two months away from moving and I'm getting nervous.

My  last post was a Coconut Lane Giveaway that ends soon so go and check that out and enter!
