Winterlicious Tag! | Believe In Beauty

Hello everyone! 
So today, as it's getting closer and closer to Christmas and Winter is definitely coming, I thought I would do the Winterlicious tag! I've seen it around YouTube a lot lately and I thought it would be perfect to do on my blog. Unfortunately I have been very lazy and came to write this at 4:45 and it's dark, noticed that on some questions I would need pictures and the lighting is currently awful, so I've found pictures from the internet, I'm very sorry! I might update this post sometime in the future with my own pictures. 

Nails Inc Piccadilly Circus
1) Favorite Winter Nail Polish?
My favourite winter Nail Polish has got to be Nails Inc Piccadilly Circus! I love, love, love this colour. It's so nice in the winter as it's a dark purplish/burgundy colour and looks lovely on your nails! It's really good quality as well, it lasts for a while and I got it on the glamour magazine last year for only £2 so a bargain!! 


2) Favorite Winter lip product?
Vaseline- Cocoa Butter
My favourite winter lip product by far is...VASELINE. In the winter my lips always get very chapped and sore and I also get a red line around them, not nice :( So I always turn to Vaseline. In the winter I personally prefer to use the Cocoa Butter one, (the one I'm currently using!), as it makes me feel more Christmassy...don't ask why! It just soothes my lips so well and quickly and gets rid of the horrible line, it just works wonders haha! It is also quite cheap so another bonus!  I do also love the Bubblegum Lip Scrub from Lush to get the dry skin off but I have sadly ran out of it at the moment! :( 


3) Most worn Winter clothing piece?
Hm, tough question!! I love winter clothing, it's much more snuggly! I probably wear my cream knitted jumper or my redish knitted jumper the most though. There so cosy and perfect for a cold day. I also love my Reindeer leggings that I brought recently, I only just got them but I know I will be non-stop wearing them throughout Winter and Christmas! 

4) Most worn Winter accessory?
Hm, do scarfs count? Let's just say they do... I love my cream knitted scarf with grey love hearts on from New Look, I got it last year and it's so nice to warm your neck up when it's cold and goes with a lot of things which is also good! 

                                                       
                                                                                                                5) Favorite winter        scent/candle?
My favourite winter candle is one from Yankee Candles, seeing as I'm in decisive I couldn't decide between two but my favourite are 'Christmas Eve' and 'Christmas Cupcake', they both smell delicious and the 'Christmas Eve' one is the one I always burn on Christmas Eve! 


6) Favorite Winter beverage?  
Definitely Hot Chocolate! With whipped Cream and Marshmallows, yummy!! 

7) All time favorite Christmas/Holiday movie?
'ELF' or 'The Greatest Store in the World', 'Elf' is just obviously amazing, everyone's favourite and 'The Greatest Store in the World' is just amazing, I love it so, so, so much! BEST FILM EVER! When I was younger they would play it on TV EVERY Christmas and I would watch it all the time, it's on YouTube now so definitely going to watch it when it's Christmas, if you haven't watched it, go watch it now. It's just amazing. 

8) Favorite Christmas/Holiday song?
Could be here for a while. Ok, number 1....
1. All I Want For Christmas Is You
2. Merry Christmas Everyone
3. I wish it could be Christmas everyday!
4. Wonderful Christmas Time. 
There's loads more but I could be here for days so I'm going to stop now. 

                                                      9) Favorite Holiday food/treat?
The mini Profiteroles you get, omg lush. I could eat about 10 of them, my Nan buys them every year and it's always me who eats the most...oops. 

10) What is your favorite Christmas Decoration this year?
We haven't put up our Decorations yet but a new addition (that you may of heard about if you read my half-term summary) is this mini fireplace where you put mini stockings on it with your names on it and it's so cute and I love it. So one of my favourites but without having them out I can't remember any other ones, sorry! 

11) What's at the top of your Christmas list?
I don't really know. I would like some Lush boxes which are at the top of my list but I may ask for an iPad Mini but I'm undecided at the moment so for the meantime, a Lush Box...the 'Stardust' one, 'Sweet Christmas' and 'With Love From Santa!'

12) What are your plans for the holidays this year?
Relax, go Ice-Skating at this like special Christmas outdoor one, spend time with family, have an amazing Christmas, eat, have fun, see friends and all that jazz! 

Thanks for reading!! :)

Obsession With Lush? | Believe In Beauty

Hello!

You may, or may not, remember that one of my 1st recent posts was a Lush haul. In this Lush haul I purchased 4 things. A week or so later I went back into the Lush shop and brought 3 more things. I am now sitting writing this blog post with the Lush website opened in another tab looking at all the amazing products they do, (going on the website at least once a day), and I literally want to buy...EVERYTHING!

I love Lush all year round but when it gets to Christmas season and all the Christmas products start appearing online and in the shops I go a little bit crazy. I feel like I need to buy EVERYTHING. It's all just lovely!! One of my favourite things from Lush's Christmas collection is Candy Mountain Bubble Bar and the Snow Fairy shower gel, they are 2 amazing products and by far my favourite for the festive season!!

Currently in my Lush collection I have...
♥  Jacko Bath Ballistic
♥  Gingerbread House Bubble Bar 
♥  Bubblebeard Bubble Bar 
♥  The Enchanter
♥  Golden Wonder Bath Bomb
♥  The Melting Snowman
♥  Father Christmas Bath Bomb

To some of you this won't seem a lot, but to me, I have a bit of an obsessive collection going on here. It gets even worse though. Browsing the Lush website I am going to order Jingle Spells (which is limited addition, so go grab it now if you are Lush obsessed like me!) and the Rocket Bubble Bar. For Christmas I have asked for 3 Lush gift boxes (Stardust, With Love From Santa and Sweet Christmas), I chose the boxes carefully so they would cover all the Christmas products from Lush I wanted, I'm such a weirdo haha.  

The point I am actually trying to get across in this long-winded, probably no one really cares, blog post is that if you have never tried Lush, why not? Go and give it a go now! 

See you all soon!

A Fun Interview With vintagelovehearts | Believe In Beauty


Hello everyone!

Today I'm doing a collab blog post with vintagelovehearts (http://www.vintagelovehearts-missmegziie123.blogspot.co.uk/ link to her blog here!) Basically we're going to ask each other questions, the questions I ask Meg and her answers will be on my blog post and the questions Meg asks me and my answers will be on her blog post so go check it out!

Here are the rules!
- Answer the question as detailed as you can! (without rambling)
- Put some corresponding pictures to the questions!
- Answer every question!
- Have fun answering them!

Okay let's start!

Hello! My 1st question for you is: 1. What would your ideal day be like? Answer: Hey! Well my ideal day would be...Get up late at like 11-12, lounge around in my onsie for a bit, then go out with some friends to the cinema or out somewhere and then come back and either have a sleepover with them or just sit with my family and have a lazy night with TV, DVD's and takeaways (ideally Chinese or pizza).
Sounds like a good day hehe!

 2. Seeing as it's getting near Christmas (ish!) What are you most excited about for the festive season? (Apart from Christmas hehe!) Answer: Probably seeing some of my family I haven't seen for a while, putting decorations up and just all round being christmassy! (Christmas food and drink, Christmas songs etc!) 
Can't wait to put up my decorations either! 3. Where are your 3 favourite places to shop? Answer: Okay well there's way more than 3 but...1. Primark! It's sooo inexpensive and you can get some good bargains in there! 2. LUSH, I love smelling everything! mmm... 3. Superdrug/boots, I'm entertained for ages in there looking at all the makeup!

Love Lush as well! 4. Any embarassing tales from your younger days? Yes lots! Haha! But one is when i was at primary school, i ran out of the gates, as you do at the end of school, went to find my mum, found her (or so i thought) gave her a nice hug, looked up and it wasn't my mum!!!!!! It was another girls mum from my school! Luckily i kind of knew her, but still! I was mortified!

Awkward, haha! 5. What 3 things do you hate doing but everyone else seems to love to do? Answer: I know right! Hmm, tough un'! 1.Well I don't hate this, I just dislike it, but I don't really know why, but I don't really like big activities or something with my school, I just think there too much faff and effort! Haha! 2. I hate editing videos, it takes ages haha! 3. I hate going to bed! Not sleeping, I love that, but just going to bed, don't ask why! Haha! 

Haha, I hate school trips too! 6. What would be your ideal Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner menu? Answer: 
Breakfast - FRY UP FTW! Haha! Lunch - Probably like a Cesar salad, pasta or soup! Something little that's yummy! Dinner - TAKEAWAY! Hehe, or chicken stir fry! Yummeh!


YUUUUM. 7. Favourite ever holiday you've been on and why? Answer: CALIFORNIA! It was so amazing! We did so much cool stuff, we went to Disney, universal and sea world! And we went to the Hollywood walk of fame and saw the Hollywood sign! And also the weather was lovely!
Sounds amazing! Really wanna go to California!

 8. What are you most proud of in your life? (deep haha!) Answer: Haha! Deep! Hmm, that's so tough! Well one of them is probably performing in front of my whole school and all the parents in my primary school play! I was only in year 6 but I sang my little heart out, even though I am quite a shy person!

Aww! 9. What is your favourite thing to do in the Summer and Winter? Answer: Tehe! Well, my favourite thing to do in summer is, either go on holiday or spend time with my friends doing fun summery stuff like swimming, and being out side! In the winter is to wrap up warm, snuggle up by my fire and watch DVD's! Oh, and get excited for christmas! 

CHRISTMAS AHHH. Haha. Last question! 10. What are you best tips for healthy looking skin? Answer: YEY! Can't wait! Good question! I have a few! 1. Take all your makeup off at night! Otherwise you will get spots! 2. Use a face wash to rinse and wash your face at the end of the day! 3. Don't use too much makeup! If you cake on the foundation, bronzer, blush, concealer etc, your skin will get all clogged up and spotty! Not nice!

Good tips! Thankyou for answering all my questions! 

Hope you enjoyed this fun blog post, it was so fun to ask and answer each others questions!

BYE!

Halfterm Summary | Believe In Beauty


Hello!



 I have been on halfterm the week just gone so I thought I'd do a little summary on what I got up to! I didn't do much, it was more of a relaxing halfterm :) I will only do Monday - Saturday as they were my most interesting days! 



Monday 29th October 2012

Today has been quite boring. I went to the shop with my Sister to get some Lunch and a pumpkin but there were no pumpkins left, so that was a bit annoying :( Later on when my Mum got home from work, we went to Tesco's and I found a pumpkin there so I brought 2 :D That was basically all that happened...BORING. 


Tuesday 30th October 2012

Today was a bit more interesting. I woke up and accidentally deleted one of my Blog posts so I had to try and figure out how to get it back and I did in the end, it took a while but I got there! I also wrote another Blog post that will be coming up in the near future. When my Mum got home from work we went to this Garden Center thing and they had all the Christmas decorations out!! It made me so excited. It was like walking through a winter wonderland, so nice! Of course we couldn't resist the temptation to buy something so we picked up a mini fireplace with stockings which had our names on! So cute, you'll probably see it in a post in the future on 'Christmas Decoration's' or something! We called into my Nans on the way back and had a drink and bite to eat there:) That's basically all that happened today. 


Wednesday 31st October 2012

Happy Halloween! Halloween today and November tomorrow, yay! Today was quite fun. I went shopping with my Mum and Sister and of course I had to go into Lush...oops! It was not a good idea, they had all their Christmas things out and me, being me, had to buy something. I ended up buying 3 things, I got the 'Golden Wonder Bath Ballistic', 'Melting Snowman' and 'Father Christmas', I love them all and can't wait to try them! I don't think I will do a Haul on them, sorry! So that was all I got shopping but we had a nice shopping trip and brought some Christmas presents and a lovely Lunch in Debenhams! When I got back from shopping me and my sister carved our pumpkins and lit them. Then we ordered Dominoes pizza and watched TV waiting for 'Trick or Treaters' to come but no one came! 


Thursday 1st November 2012

November finally, yay! Can I start getting excited for Christmas yet?! Today me, my Mum and Sister went into town on the bus and got a few things, some more Christmas presents and stuff. I got the cutest panda hat but I'm not sure if I'll wear it as I don't really suit hats, oh well. Then we walked home from the town and we had loads of bags of heavy shopping, ouch. Boring day. 


Friday 2nd November 2012

Today was another boring day. Me and my Mum took the Dogs for a long walk and then me, my Mum and Sister caught the bus into another town and had a shop around there and then my Dad met us there and we went to Waitrose to get some shopping. I got the most delicious Strawberry milkshake EVER! It was called 'Shaken Udder', definitely try it if you see it in a supermarket! Then it was Eastenders and Miranda. OMG, I could not stop laughing at Miranda, it was so funny! I love Miranda so much!


Saturday 3rd November 2012

Today I was suppose to do Homework but I couldn't be bothered so it's been a laptop day:D I've been writing some Blog Posts and catching up on all important YouTube videos! I had a yummy lunch consisting of a bacon sandwich and then a long dog walk with my Mum. Now I'm listening to Music and writing this! I then went to my towns fireworks and they were really good, it wasn't too cold either as it normally is freezing!! The last one was probably the best firework, it looked soooo pretty:) Then it was xfactor time, Kye and James are definitely my favourites, love them!:D


I had a good halfterm, hope if you were on halfterm you did too! Back to school tomorrow, nooo:(

Byee!:)
