The would you rather beauty tag

Hey guys, I'm so sorry I am being useless at the moment-work is insane and I just want to sleep during all of my spare time. Taking outfit photos or anything just sounds like the worst idea right now. I'm taking the lazy way out this weekend and I have hunted down a tag to do. 

1. Would you rather lose all of your mascaras, eyeliners, lipsticks, and lip glosses or lose all of your palettes and eye shadows?

Definitely my palettes. I don't wear eye shadow on a day to day basis, but I have the tiniest eyes so mascara is needed every day.

2. Would you rather chop all of your hair off or never be able to cut it again?

I know it's only hair and it grows back blah blah blah, but I don't ever want short hair again. Sooo i'd never cut it again.

3. Would you rather have a coral cheek or a pink cheek?

Pink! I'm too pale for coral cheeks.

4. If you had $1000 to spend, would you rather buy clothes or makeup?

I don't like this question :( but, $1000 is a fair amount of money so ima say clothes.

5. Would you rather apply lipstick as eyeliner, or eyeliner as lipstick?

Hmmm, depends. Can I use whatever colours I want? Because ya'know black/brown lipstick wouldn't be my thing. IF I can use whatever colour then I thinks eyeliner as lipstick.

6. Would you rather only shop at MAC or Sephora?

I've only been to one Sephora because we don't have them in the UK so Mac :).

7. Would you rather only use one eyeshadow colour or one lip colour for the rest of your life?

Only one eyeshadow colour please and thanks.

8. Would you rather wear winter clothes in summer or summer clothes in winter?

Summer clothes in winter, I hate being too hot.

9. Would you rather have dark nails or bright nails all year round?

Bright nails, bright coral nails.

10. Would you rather give up your favourite lip colour or favourite eye product?

I don't have a favourite of either so i'll just keep everything :)

11. Would you rather only be able to wear your hair in a ponytail or messy bun?

Messy bun, just because.

12. Would you rather never be able to paint your nails again or never use lipgloss?

Lipgloss, which wouldn't be much of a sacrifice because I hate lipgloss. Sticky and slimy, blergh.

13. Would you rather shave your eyebrows and have none at all or sharpie them in everyday?

I think I would rather have no eyebrows at all, mine are already pretty non-existent.

14. Would you rather live without makeup or nail polish?

I can live without nail polish. I think? 

I will be organised I promise.

Christmas wishlist

I feel like mid November is a suitable time to start thinking about Christmas, right?! If I don't start thinking about what I want around this time Jake threatens to not buy me anything :'(. So even if you think it's too early, my Christmas wishlist is here!

1. Yves Saint Laurent, Rouge Volupte Shine in 'fuchsia in excess' - I've heard nothing but good things about this. I have to admit, I was sold by the packaging... The gorgeous formula is just an added bonus.
2. Urban Decay, Naked Palette 3 - I know it hasn't been released yet, but I have already got my eye on this stunning palette. There isn't a single colour in there that I don't think I'll love. It's also handy that it comes in sturdy packaging because I have a habit of dropping everything I own.
3. Topshop, Jacquard Playsuit - I am in love with this playsuit, it's simple but gorgeous and has a really lovely lace panel across the back. I'm not sure I can even wait till christmas for this, it may have to be a cheeky payday purchase... Just to be on the safe side ;)
4. River Island, Contrast Panel Boots - I was on the hunt for my perfect ankle boot for my birthday in October, but I couldn't find any that I loved so I have been dealing with my ones from last year (that have a hole at the bottom-not much use in the rain). I stumbled across these beauties when I was doing research at work and had to resist spending money I don't have. They have gone on Jake's 'must buy me' list, if I don't get them I will be one sad Megan.
5. Lancôme, La Vie Est Belle - This new Lancôme fragrance has had a sample in every single magazine I have seen in the last few months. It smells incredible, the perfect evening scent. This was part of a toss up in October for my birthday present from Jake, I ended up choosing the new Nina Ricci perfume, and I love it, but I want this one too.
6. Butter London, Posh Bird Nail Laqueur - I can't bear to spend £12 on a nail varnish, no matter how gorgeous. So it's on the list in the hopes that it mind end up in my stocking! *hint hint mummy*

I'm so so excited for Christmas, don't worry, there will be plenty more christmassy posts to come!

Birthday gift round up

Hey guys, so it was my birthday on Thursday and I felt thoroughly spoilt so I thought I'd share a quick round up of the presents I received.

A brand spanking new set of Zoeva brushes courtesy of my sister Lauren, I love the case too. Can't wait to start using these.

This gorgeous black bag is from my mum and I think it is beautiful. Probably the nicest bag I own and I will use it everyday.

The new Nina Ricci perfume was a present from Jake. A very pretty bottle to go with a gorgeous fruity smell.

There's not a whole lot to say about the next two... I love Hotel Chocolat and I have certainly eaten my fair share of their chocolate since I worked there a few years ago. I love Philosophy and I love honey buns, winning combo right there.

A very soft fluffy jumper from TK Maxx will certainly get it's wear this winter, along with these two very warm snoods. The mink coloured is from Accessorize and the cream is from River Island.

A pandora cupcake charm suits me perfectly and will be added to my little selection on my leather charm bracelet. The sparkly earrings and the big statement floral necklace are both from Topshop and were gifts from the office. I have worn the earrings every day since and can't wait to wear the necklace with big plain jumpers. The aztecy/tribally gold statement necklace was from my mumma and she got it from Miss Selfridge, another necklace that will be a well loved member of the group.

That's my round up of gifts, and I am very happy and grateful for each one. Everyone knows me so so well. I haven't put links to the items as I find it a little rude to hunt down the items online but I have given the stores they are from and if you're interested in any of them then I'm sure they will all be super easy to find.

I had a lovely birthday but now I can't wait to start thinking about christmas.

What I love about...October

The month of October holds my birthday, so that's what I love about this month. Who doesn't enjoy a day that's all about them. The cake, food, presents and spending the day/evening/night with everyone closest to you.

So seeing as my birthday is in 2days (eeeeeeee,) I thought I'd turn this post into a hybrid and mix it up with a birthday wishlist

1. I have been on the hunt for a neutral snood type scarf for AGES. I adore this one from Accessorize. I like that it isn't the typical neutral grey/black/brown but is a mink colour. I think it's beautiful and I'm fairly certain Jake's buying it for me!
2. Do I love them do I hate them, I'm not sure. I think I love them but they are quite tacky. They're currently in the Topshop sale for £25 and I am really drawn to them as a christmas party shoe. I just can't decide.
3. I'm always looking for new rings to add to my collection seen as it's about the only jewellery I can be bothered to put on on a daily basis. These are from Asos and I believe they are top of the finger rings. I like every one of them and if I don't get them for my birthday I will definitely buy them for myself.
4. This fluffy jumper is also from Asos and is a black and white alphabet slouchy jumper. I live in fluffy jumpers in the winter. They're warm, they're comfy and they don't show how much chocolate I've been eating in front of the fire.
5. I feel as though anyone who enjoys doing eye make up should have a mac pigment pot. I sometimes wonder how I have gone so long without, hopefully this will change on Thursday! I have gone for the colour 'vanilla' as I think it'll make a good under the brow highlighter/inner eye highlighter and I know they last for so long.


Why do I keep making wishlists. It's a dangerous idea, my bank balance is not my friend and these wishlists are making our relationship worse. For the sake of our friendship I hope all of these items are bought for me *cough mum*

What's in my bag?

This is my most used day to day bag, it's from Matalan and it was about £16, I didn't really get the skulls and the crosses but I am crazy about studs. It's the perfect size to hold all of the things I deem necessary to carry around everyday, and I just love it.

Daily essentials are of course my purse, my phone (adore this phone case, so me), and my house/car keys with my various girly key rings.

My giant make up bag goes everywhere with me, very essential to have. And how cute is my little diary! Pretty little birdcages to match my pretty little birdcage keyring.

My own personal first aid kit: Soap and glory hand cream is a must, especially in the winter. Pretty little tissues, compact brush and amazing cupcake plasters <3

Other random little things that hang around at the bottom of my bag, nail file, glossybox mirror, 2 gorgeous lipsticks and my life saviour lip balms.

I didn't take a picture of all of the loose change and receipts, didn't think you'd want to see that ha.
