TAG: 10 Random Facts

I know i've just done a thing like this with those questions but ive been tagged to do it by Lilize - In my life

soooo.. here goes. Sorry if i talk too much!


1) I met my boyfriend on holiday
I went on holiday early last summer last year with my family to Tenerife, and I met my boyfriend! He was there with his friend and his friends parents and their friends (if thats not too confusing) And we have been together ever since! :) At the time I went on holiday I had a boyfriend and wasn't looking for anyone AT ALL. However, I was lying next to him on my lounger (sunbathing as per) and we just started talking.. then talked every day for 2 weeks. It doesnt sound a lot of time but talking for hours and hours and hours is quite intense He was so sweet with such a similar sense of humour to me and I instantly liked him. Yet I obviously didnt kiss/hug/or tell him i liked him him as I had a boyfriend. He was such a flirt! Haha. So cut a long story short we exchanged numbers and msn addresses and talked when we got back and things went from there

2)My boyfriend lives over 2 hours away from me
Honestly.. These aren't 10 facts about Dean! Haha. But anyways.. As if that wasnt confusing enough! He lives in Newcastle and I live in West Cumbria. However he travels down to see me every weekend. :)

3) I have a very close family
I'm veryyy close to my mam , dad, brother and grandad. My grandad lives a few minutes away from me and comes to my house everyday. I know I can talk to my mam about anything, whether its sex, boys in general, drinking, smoking.. whatever! I go to my nanas house at least every sunday to see all my aunties, cousins etc.

4)I find it quite hard to find clothes to fit
My figure is quite out of proportion as i'm around a size 8/sometimes a 10, however due to my boobs and bum im a 12 or 14 in bikinis. Lets just say i have my nanas genes in the booty department and my mams in the 'breasts'! Hahah. Jeans are the worst!

5)I live in the worst place ever
Well.. thats being dramatic but it's not good. I live in a small town in West Cumbria in the UK. It doesnt even have a pictures! Haha the nearest one is 20 minutes away. I live close to where Shakespeare did...... intresting.

6)I love clubbing
What more can I say? Drinking, Having fun, Dressing up in nice clothes. Sounds good to me!

7)I'm hoping to do English language at Uni
I'm in my last year of 6th form and hoping to do English language as it intrests me and has always been my favorite subject. I got a grade A in both Englishes at GCSE. I think i want to go to either Liverpool, Leeds or Newcastle

8)I love all things beauty
I love moisturisers, cosmetics, any body products in general, hair stuff, nail polish.. everything! Haha :) I love high end and drugstore products. It gives me loads more confidence and makes me feel great

9)Humour is the best medicine
One of my best friends Ashley is seriously the Funniest person i know. He just has such a good sense of humour and makes me laugh all the time. I think sarcastic, dry and 'take the piss' kind of humour is the best. I look for humour in a boyfriend. Laughing is one the best things ever.
My friend Holly was sitting on two hairs in the Post 16 centre with every sitting around. Both of the chairs collapsed on her and she fell in slow motion with the funniest look on her face. It was hilarious! She just lay on the floor with everyone looking at her and laughing. I was crying. It may not sound funny.. but you should have seen her. She looked such a freek
;D

10)I'm a bubbly person
I'm generally a really outgoing and confident person who likes to have fun (oh god i sound like im doing a lonely hearts ad) but I'm quite shy with people I dont know. I'm REALLY dopey sometimes e.g (something i said the other day)

Me: Awww your dogs sooo cute!
Jasmine: I know, it looks like a Jack Russel eh?
Me:........ Whos Jack russel?

haha

Nailpolish love.

Here are a few of the nail polishes i'm loving at the moment! .. Yes. I know its summer and everyone seems to be wearing orange or yellow nail polish but to be honest I just don't like those colours on my nails.

The nailpolishes here are: Barry m - Navy (292). Sally Hansen - Hard as nails. 17 (Boots) - Rasberry Mocha. And finally Barry m - Racing green (299)

I really want these Barry M nail varnishes: Grey. Vivid Purple. Red wine(or)Red glitter and Pink Flamingo.




This is Barry M's nailpolish in Navy. Its sooo pretty. It is a good quality product at an affordable price. It is just £2.95. The first coat for me (same as racing green) looked a little streaky and paler than i wanted but after the second coat it is an even and deep colour. I love Barry M nail varnishes.


This for me is a really good top coat. I never put a bottom coat on so im not sure what it would be like for that but im sure it would be fine. It is Sally Hansen - Hard as nails. It's quite thick which I find good as i sticks to the nails and means the colour underneath lasts longer. It has a really long handle and a thin brush so is easy to apply. It costs around £4/5 from Bodycare. I alwats get things like that from bodycare as I find its the cheapest place. I also use this on it's own to strengthen my nails.



Sorry about the awful photo. I couldnt find one from the internet which is a shame because this doesnt reflect how nice this polish is. Its from 17 in Rasberry Mocha. It is cheap at around £3 or something. I wouldnt say its the best for quality as it does chip however I wear it loads as it's such a pretty colour. The colour is a nude-ish pink. - It would actually lovely as a lipstick! I always get complements on my nails when I wear this







Finally. i love this. Its such a lovely colour and i dont think this photo does it justice. Its a deep forest green with blue undertones and a slight green glitter. I t hink it is sooooo nice! It (as i said before) went on a little watery and slightly streaky yet after another coat its the perfect colour for me as its quite dark but not tooo dark that its black

Miroslava Duma









This is Miroslava Duma - A Russian 'it' girl. She is such a style icon. She has one ofthe best styles in my opinion and lovely hair. Actually, my hair looks like that now *with the fringe etc* -(however its not copied from her) She seems to merge both contempary and classic styles within her outfits. I know i can look at an outfit of hers and i'll like it, however she is not an 'idol' for me because I simply dont have any. I think individuality is important. She is soo cute i could put her in my pocket! Haha And i love the 'geeky' clear lense glasses :)
I love her outfits on the first and third photo especially
She is also someone Richie Nickel thinks has good style (aswell as Mary-kate Olsen)
*Before I go, I just want to say a big well done to Shaheen for giving a great performance at MJ's memorial. He sang very well and has soo much confidence to do that infront that audience at 12! Well done :)*

Everyone loves a bargain!



This concealer is by Barbara Daly for tesco. It is really really good overall
The positives: It blends really well due to its creamy formular. It gives a really good coverage yet isnt cakey. Its cheap! And its small enough to put in your pocket nevermind your handbag!
The Negavtives: It only comes in 3 colours and the darkest is only a light tan colour- (the colours are light, medium and dark. Im medium) It may be too yellow toned for some people

It actually rivals MAC's studio sculpt concealer. I can compare as I have both. They have recently changed the packaging and there is a slight improvement. It retails for around £3.50 or something and is available at most Tesco stores. I live in a small town and they stock it. It is really easy to blend yet gives the right amout of coverage. It is quite thick so only a small amount is neeed.



Now... I have heard NOTHING but good things about this fake tan. Its apprently a good as (or even better) than the famous St Tropez. This is kind of pointless as I havent purchased it myself yet BUT i will on saturday. Its available at Home Bargains in the UK. I will review it when i have personally used it but until then lollipop26 done a great review about it. Apprently its a tinted mouse formula that goes on really well and doesnt go streaky. If anyones used it let me know! Its around £2



Baby oil. A staple in my beauty products and probably everyone elses too. Its very cheap and versatile. Some peopl use it to take off their makeup and others (like me) use it in their bath. I put a few drops in the bath once a week and my skin is really soft. I dont like to put it on my skin when my skin is dry as it find it is too greasy... but after its put into my bath and i pat my skin dry it feels really soft and lovely.



After reading many positives review on this on the internet and various magazines I purchased this and im glad i did. Its Siana moisturising anti-wrinkle day cream from Aldi. It was around £3 or something i can't remember exactly but it was cheap i can assure you! What isn't in Aldi? I dont know if you can get this in the US but if not you can purchase on ebay at a slightly higher price. It claims to help wrinkles but i cant comment on that as i dont have any yet! But.. Its a great moisturiser with added sun cream. It goes on really creamy and would be good for normal or dry skin. Its great as a make-up base. It dries really quick and has a kind of 'normal/nothing to write home about' smell. It can feel a touch oily but not enough to notice/not too buy it and when it dries in it just leaves you skin soft. Under foundation its great. For me.. its a good buy.
Hope this helped. Ask away with any Q's
