This or That

Hello :) !

 

I have found a tag that i would love to do, i also think it will help you get to now me a bit better, so if you like tags keep reading.

 

MAKEUP

Blush or Bronzer- I rarely put on bronzer so i have to go with blush
Lipgloss or Lipstick- I love lipstick however i own more glosses, its hard to choose but i wold probably say i opt more for the gloss
Eyeliner or Mascara- I could live without eyeliner but i need mascara, it makes my eyes look much bigger
Foundation or Concealer- If i could only live with one it would be foundation, it would cover more and could be layered thicker lol
Neutral or Coloured Eyeshadow- Neutral is what i go for everyday, but I love a dark smokey eye for nights out.
Pressed or loose eyeshadows- Pressed it's  much easier to work with.
Brushes or Sponges- Brushes, i don't even know what i did before them!

NAILS

OPI or China Glaze- OPI as i have never bought any china glazes before.
Long or Short- I love long nails but short ones are much more practical for me
Acrylic or Natural- I love the look of acrylic nails but they ruin your actual nails so i have to say natural (or if the choice was their i would go for Gel)
Brights or Darks- That's a hard one! It depends on the occasion and my mood. Black can be a really nice sophisticated nail however i also love hot pink for a flirty fun nail on a night out.

BODY

Perfume or body spray- Perfume.
Lotion or Body Butter- It depends on the brand but lotion in general as they sink in faster
Body Wash or Soap- I use both, i love Rockstar soap from Lush and then i use body wash

FASHION

Jeans or Sweat Pants- Jeans to go out in but sweat pants to lounge about in
Long or Short Sleeves- I don't have a preference, half of my wardrobe is full of sleeveless pussy bow blouses and the other has long sleeved blouses! lol
Dresses or Skirts- Dresses.
Stripes or Plain- Plain, stripes don't suit me
Flip flops or Sandals- Sandals
Scarves or Hats- Scarves, I'm one of those people hats don't suit :(
Studs or Dangly Earrings- Studs for everyday bt dangly earrings for the evenings/weekends
Necklaces or Bracelets- Bracelets
Heels or Flats- Flats! Heels are pretty but hurt.
Cowboy Boots or Riding Boots- I have only ever owned a pair of cowboy boots (when i was 10!) so for that reason I'll say cowboy boots!.
Jacket or Jumper- Jacket
Abercombie or Hollister- Hollister (especially their Crystal Cove body spray!)

HAIR

Curly or Straight- Curly.
Bun or Ponytail- I love the look of buns but my hair never looks right or sits right in one so i would have to say ponytail.
Hair Spray or Gel- Hairspray
Long or Short- Long hair
Light or Dark- I suit dark hair better but i really want to Ombre my hair..
Side Fringe or Full Fringe- I've had both, a side fringe is less maintenance!
Up or Down- Down but sadly for work i have to wear my hair up :(

Thank you for reading this if you got this far :) I love reading tags and doing them is a lot of fun, if you have done this or other similar tags please leave a link and i will check it out!

Christmas Wish List 2012

As it's nearing Christmas its natural to only peruse websites in the hopes that my loves ones will buy me everything i want. Well there's no harm in looking right?

I have compiled a list of this i would love to receive off Santa this Christmas so feel free to keep reading if you too love to see what other people put on their wish lists...

 

1.  I am in love with Rebecca Minkoffs Mac Bag! I have been wanting one for a while and i love tanned bags so i came across this one in Almond and i am in love with it.

2. I love gel nails and i have previously bought the nail extension diy kit and it ended horrendously but i have done extensive research about the Sensationail and it looks sooo easy to apply! It's simply applying nail varnish like normal and then drying them fast in a light! For £60 i think this will be worth it.

3. Later next year i am going to London for a week and i love making scrapbooks, i have just finished one from a recent trip to New York and so this scrapbook would be perfect for that trip so i will be visiting Paperchase very soon to purchase this baby!

4. I spotted the Desert Camouflage when i was on the mac website and the colours in it are every shade ones that i would wear on an everyday basis so this would make the perfect gift for me.

5. I love the shopglitzyglam website that elle and blair have and i want 2 things from their site, the brush holder (number 5) and the Santa thermos mug (number 6). They are extremely reasonably priced and i love that i can get my initial on the brush holder. I am also a massive coffee drinker and i currently use a Grey's Anatomy travel mug so i think this Santa one would be perfect for the winter months :)

7. For the longest time i have been wanting to expand my make up brushes and i have had my eye on the Sigma brushes and i love that they come in pink and with a case that will be perfect for me to travel with so i am really hoping that this finds its way to me this Christmas.

8. Michael Kors' watches are to die for and i really am in love with the rose gold Chronograph watch. It has "diamonds" around it and its just very feminine and everything i am after in a watch.

9. After seeing Kevin Bridges live a few weeks ago i am keen to have it on DVD, he is the most funniest man ever! Even funnier than Michael Mcintyre! and i love him too. So i would love this and i can even see me giving this away to people as presents, most of my friends love him too.

10. I am loving the Not On The High Street dress, it comes in the most prettiest fuchsia colour and would be perfect for the Christmas night out party in work.

11. I am upgrading to the iPhone5 this December and i have been on the lookout for the perfect cover and i think i might have found it from Luxaddiction.com. There is so many to choose from but the one pictured is one of my favourites.

12. Earlier in the year i bought the Naked 2 palette but i think i would love the shades better from the first one, i think they are described as warmer. I feel in the second one they can be a little too harsh for me sometimes but don't get me wrong i am still in love the the Naked 2 palette and would hate to not have it.

13. I have never tried anything Burts and Bees wise and so i think the Tips and Toe Kit would be the perfect place to start.

14. I seen this recently in akayadolls youtube video and i have been obsessed with getting one. I never knew this existed and now i do i need 5! lol. They would be perfect for a night out and for general day to day carrying about in my bag rather than the big bottles i always seem to have. I know for sure that if i don't get this i will be buying a few of them as they look amazing  especially in pink :)!

 

 

So that's a few of the things i want the most this Christmas and i know a few of the items are very expensive but there no harm in dreaming :)

Thank you for reading and be sure to leave me links to your wish lists! I love this type of post :)

Cheryl Cole Red Lips

This lipstick has been around for a while however i never got around to buying it until recently. It is the perfect bright red colour that has a little bit of glitter in it. It can be worn day or night but i think it looks at its best at night because it is extremely vivid and really sets your outfit off.

 

 

You can see how vivid the colour is from the above picture, this was taken in natural daylight. If you look closely you can see the gold flecks of glitter in the picture.

The lipstick itself is good quality, highly pigmented and lasts on your lips for quite a while. It starts to fake after about 2 hours and then once you touch it up it last for another few hours. When you apply this lipstick you cannot feel grit from the glitter unlike from others I've tried. I have also found that it is not too drying or too moisturising on the lips, for me it is the perfect consistency and if i have particularly dry lips that day i will just add a touch of lip balm.

I have tried adding gloss over this lipstick and it doesn't, to me, look particularly nice. I prefer it straight out the tube like it comes.

I would definitely recommend buying this product if you have been thinking about it but where unsure. I had wanted this lipstick for months and finally bought it when i found it on ebay, there was a seller selling them brand new for only £5 with free p+p so i jumped at the chance when i seen it.

I haven't got any bad comments what so ever to say about this and i have to say i haven't read any either so i would consider this blind purchase a good one!
