The Spooktacular Tag | Believe In Beauty


Happy Halloween Everyone!

What are you all doing to celebrate? I'm not doing much but I'm going to decorate my room a bit today and maybe put a few decorations in the window. I'm also going to carve my pumpkins and light them. I love carving pumpkins and getting all creative with them :D I'm not going 'Trick-or-Treating' this year, but if I was I would probably dress up as a witch, devil or a cat! What are you all dressing up as?

Seeing as it's Halloween today I thought I would do the 'Spooktacular Tag' which I've seen floating round Youtube lately. Here goes!...

1. Do you still Trick or Treat? 
I've never really Trick or Treated properly before because my mum doesn't really like it, but I sometimes go round my road and round the corner from my road and stuff :) But I don't think I'm going to Trick or Treat this year :(

2. Do you like going to Haunted Attractions? 
Never really been to any but I would really love to go to one, I think they would be sooooo fun! However I am a bit of a wimp though :/

3. Favorite Halloween Candy? 
We don't call it 'Candy' in the UK, we call it sweets but I love any sweets, so can't really pick a favourite but I love fizzers and lollipops!

4. Favorite Halloween Movie?
 Never really watched any Halloween movies but I quite like Coraline if you would class that as a Halloween movie, but I don't know? :/ I've heard 'Hocus Pocus' is good so maybe I'll watch that!:D

5. Favorite Scary Movie?
 Like I said earlier I'm such a wimp and haven't really watched any scary movies so don't really have a favourite. I watched 'Frankenstein' once and even though it's really not that scary it freaked me out loads but I still enjoyed it haha!

6. Favorite costume you ever wore as a child? 
When my Mum was little my Nan made her a cat outfit, it was basically like a leotard with a fur hood attached to it for the cats tail. I wore that a few years with some leggings and I loved it! Wonder if it still fits me now? Probably not... Don't think I have a picture with me in in it to show you :( sad timesss

7. First costume you can remember wearing?
 Probably like a witch outfit or something, with this spider hat and these green spider tights, still got those disgusting green tights now hahaha.

8. Favourite Fall Food and Beverage? 
Cookies and Hot Chocolate! Cookies just make me feel all Christmassy and dipping them into Hot Chocolate is so yummy! Hot Chocolate warms me up loads in the cold weather and you've always got to have squirty cream and marshmallows! Mmmmm :)

9. Do you have a festive background on your phone? 
No it's me and my friends haha!
10. What are you going to dress up as this year? 
Nothing :( I'm not going 'Trick or Treating', but if I was I would probably be a devil, or a witch!

11. What would Pinecone be? (or your pet!) 
I'd absolutely love to dress my Dog up in a little pumpkin costume, she would look sooooooo cute! Aw, and imagine little orange round shoes on her, cayuuute!

12. What candy do you have left in your stash after you eat everything else?
 Again, we have sweets but I always leave my Parma Violets, yuk, not to keen on them!

13. Do you decorate your house? 
Sometimes, we used to put balloons up and stuff and do window displays or just put a pumpkin in the window and I think were just putting a pumpkin in the window this year!

14. Pumpkin Patches, Corn Mazes, or Hayrides? 
I'm not sure if we have any in the UK, do we have corn mazes? Not sure:/ But probably like a Pumpkin Patch or Corn maze, they look quite cool :)

15. Going to a Corn Maze, what do you wear? 
Probably like jeans and a hoodie, something comfy :)

Thank you for reading! Hope you all have a really good Halloween!

Byee!:)

Batiste Dry Shampoo Review | Believe In Beauty

Hello everyone! :)

Today's post is going to be a review on the 'Batiste Dry Shampoo', I love, love, love this stuff and if you haven't tried it already hopefully my post will persuade you to!
I was very hesitant on whether to buy this or not at first as I'd heard very mixed reviews about this. Some people had said it had made your hair feel funny and not really done anything and others had said how amazing it was. I was in Boots not so long ago and I thought 'Why not try it? It can't be that bad!' So I picked it up and brought it home haha! At first I only brought the very small one which I think is 100ml? But not entirely sure. I think it was about £1.49.

I tried it when my hair was on a 3rd day wash and it worked wonders! It made my hair feel so silky and smooth and did not look greasy at all! I was actually quite amazed at how well it worked. It didn't make my hair feel weird, it made it feel like it was the day after I'd washed my hair. I loved it so much I went out and brought the bigger bottle which is 200ml and this was £2.50 from Boots.

I had washed my hair on Tuesday night and woke up Wednesday and Thursday and it was fine, Friday morning it was not so great so I sprayed it in my hair and my hair looked like it was the 1st day wash again. I even said to my friends "I haven't washed my hair since Tuesday night, is that bad?" and they said "What! How does it not even look greasy?", I was like "Haha...Secret!", it is actually like a magic potion or something!

It really does save you that extra day when you can't be bothered to wash your hair or you just don't have time, or if you woke up in the morning and your hair had suddenly gotten greasy over night. When you first spray it on your hair it does make your hair go Gray so you have to be careful when brushing it out so that you don't miss any Gray bits and end up with Gray hair, but the Gray brushes out really easily so it's fine! Also the one I brought which is 'Floral and Flirty Blush' smells amazing so I recommended this one even more, I can always smell it in my hair when I spray it. Another good thing is the price, it's actually quite cheap and you get a lot of product and it does last for quite a long time!

Another thing I experimented with was using it 2 days in a row. I wanted to see whether it would only work the 1st time and not work the 2nd time. I thought that it wasn't going to do anything the 2nd day in a row I used it, but I was wrong, it carried on working it's magic and again freshened up my hair and made it look silky and smooth!

This is definitely a must have, so if you've read my post and you like the sound of it, why not go give it a try? I suggest picking up the smallest bottle 1st time just in case you didn't like it, but that's just my personal opinion:)


Thank you for reading!

BYE!!

P.S- I've got a special post coming on Halloween and I'm writing up a half-term summary from Monday-Friday for you all as well as this week is my Halfterm! Hope you enjoy!! :)

Lush Haul! | Believe In Beauty


Hello!

I've decided to do a Lush haul today as my 1st proper post :) I love Lush so much and all their lovely products. I was browsing Lush the other day, not intending to buy anything, but I couldn't resist the temptation so I had to pick up a few things! Links and all information on the products will be in the post.

The first thing I brought was 'Bubble Beard, Bubble Bar'.
I love, love, love this and could not resist buying it! The whole point of this product is that it comes on a stick and you swirl it around in your bath and it creates bubbles. It's kind of like a bubble bath. I can't wait to try this and I may review it. I have to admit I'm not too keen on the smell but I can put that past me as I love it!
          Here is a full picture of the product.
The price of this is £4.95 which I didn't think was too bad as this is supposed to last 2-3 uses. https://www.lush.co.uk/product/6086/Bubblebeard <- The link on the Lush website :)
Here is the next thing I brought. This is 'Jacko Ballistic' and another amazing product! This is a bath bomb and seeing as it's a pumpkin I'm going to use it on Halloween! I really like the smell of this and I can't wait to see it fizz in the water! This is in the Retro section of Lush so if you want it, go and grab it now! I believe you can only buy it online? But I'm not entirely sure! This was £3.50 so not too bad either.
Here is the link on the Lush website: https://www.lush.co.uk/product/6060/Jacko-Ballistic

The next thing I brought was... 'THE ENCHANTER'.
I have heard great things about this so can't wait to try it! I love it so far though. It's a HUGE bath bomb which will probably last me ages to use! It also smells AMAZING, it has a really refreshing smell which would really wake you up if you were using it in the morning. I think it turns different colours in your bath so that's also going to be cool! By far the best thing about this is the smell though, it's just soooo lovely! If you've never tried this you have to. It was £3.20 which is really good seeing as it's so big!

The final thing I brought was 'Gingerbread House, Bubble Bar'
This was also in the Retro section and seeing as last Christmas I never got to try it, I made sure I definitely did this year. This is a bubble bar, so it's a bit similar to the Bubble beard. I'm going to crumble this up under running water to get bubbles when I use it. I'm looking forward to using it, but...to me the smell isn't that nice! I'm not too keen on it so I'm a little bit worried about using it... However, I think it's really, REALLY cute and couldn't wait to buy it. I'm not too sure whether I'm going to use it around Christmas time yet as it has kind of got a Christmassy scent. It was £3.95 and if I'm honest I probably won't buy this again if it was to come back in the future :(

So that is all I brought and looking forward to trying them all. Thank-you for reading this, hope you enjoyed :) I'll be back soon with more blog posts. Bye :)

P.S- Should I do reviews on them?!
