Get to know me a little! ♥

Hey guys! 
HAPPY FEBRUARY!!! January has been and gone so quick! I hope the rest of this year goes slow else it is all going to go by in a blink of an eye! So any ways here is a little blog post of question I've found from different tags and added them all into one! So here we go!

1. What is your favourite make-up brand and why?
This is a difficult question. I use different brands for different parts of my makeup routine... I'm gonna have to say... Rimmel! They are one of the best drugstore make up brands with excellent quality products. (Some better than others) 

2. Favourite quote?
I don't really have a quote that I live by. At the moment I am reading a Demi Lovato Staying Strong 365 days a year book and each day they give you a quote to go with the day, each day I read it and try to live by that quote to the fullest (I may be doing a full book 'review' soon)

3. Do you colour your hair? 
I do. I never used to but I have started to know since I started to want purple hair, you guys may have read about me changing my hair colour in a previous blog post!

4. Do you have any pets?
I have a dog called Jasper who is a staffy cross, we are not sure on what he is crossed with as we got him from a local dog home. He's currently lying next to me in bed asleep, the lazy poop haha!

5. What was your favourite subject in school?
I only take 3 lessons... Film Studies, Media and Music... Media is my favourite out of all of them!



6. What's your favourite book? 
At the moment it has to be Demi Lovato's Staying Strong 365 days a year book, its perfect!


7. What's your favourite colour?

Every shades of blue... unless they are too light or too dark haha!



8. What's your favourite animal?
Do unicorns count? I like pandas, polar bears and penguins... you know the every day animals... I love dogs, i am a dog person

Again i have many... Lady gaga Fame, Taylor swift Wonderstruck, One Direction, Avon Infinity moments (I think that's what its called) :'D

10. What's your favourite season?

11. Have you been out of the country?
Yes, I've been to Greece many times and in April i am travelling to New Zealand which for me is half way around the world, im so excited but at the same time scared, i've never been on a plane for more than 6 hours....

12. Do you speak any other languages?
Not really, I had french lessons back in high school but i can only remember certain things which wouldn't help when visiting France haha!

13. Do you have any siblings?
Yes! I have a brother :)

I have many PC's around the house but i love to use the Mac's at school for editing and being all creative, its so much easier and I just love the look of them.
19. What phone do you have?
iPhone 4s :)

20.  Starbucks or Costa?
Is this really a question? Obviously Starbucks <3

Winter Wonderland - TAG ♥

Hey guys!
It's Christmas Eve!!! I'm so excited for Christmas and i thought it was appropriate for me to do this 'Winter Wonderland Tag' which i saw from Miss Budget Beauty off YouTube who is an amazing YouTuber who I've watch for years, so check her response to this tag!
I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas or if you don't celebrate Christmas i hope you have a wonderful holiday with family & friends :)
So lets get on with the tag!

1. Favorite thing about winter?
My favorite thing about winter has to be the cold weather... I know many people hate it but i honestly like it, i find it easier to warm myself up than to cool myself down during the summer... I'm a strange child i know!

2. Scarves or Beanies?
Scarves all the way! I have huge bushy hair anyways so that keeps my head warm and I've never really been a hat person. I don't mind them messing my hair up because almost everyday i rock the 'I just got out of bed hair' anyways haha!

3. Favorite holiday movie?
I have different favorite films for each part of the holiday. Throughout most of December i will watch ELF over and over again. I never get bored of it but on Christmas Eve i have to watch Polar Express in my bed before i sleep, i can't watch it any other time in December... Weird holiday tradition i know...

4. Favorite winter nail polish?
I have too many nail polishes to pick one. During the winter i like vampy/red/purple colours. I honestly just pick a random colour that i like the look of at the time and paint my nails with it haha!

5. Favorite Starbucks Holiday Drink?
White Chocolate Mocha with half a shot of peppermint. Longest coffee order drink ever but its soooooo nice! i have it every Christmas and i just love it! 

6. What are your top 3 winter essentials?
Lush lip scrub in bubblegum
Avon Color trend lip balm in Sugar Cookie
Dry skin moisturizer
If i use these during the holiday season my skin is so soft and my red lipstick apply smoothly

7. Name one item on your wish list this year.
I haven't really got a list, I've just ask for some more lipsticks to add to my collection because a girl can never have too many lipsticks. That's a fact!

8. Favorite holiday song?
Does Michael Bubles Christmas Album count as a song? That whole album is fabulous and really gets me into the Christmas spirit of things but if i had to choose one it would have to be 'Fairytale of New York' even thought it isn't officially a Christmas song and it has hardly anything to do with Christmas its amazing and fun to sing along too!

9. Did you go Black Friday shopping this year?
I didn't really go out and go shopping because here in the UK we don't really have Black Friday but amazon were going their annual sale and i managed to buy a bottle of Nicki Minaj perfume for £15 instead of £38. AMAZING!

10. Must have winter lip product?
RED LIPSTICK is a must for the holiday season and lip balm... you don't want chapped lips!

11. Will you be rocking an ugly Christmas sweater this year?
No, i have never brought or worn a Christmas jumper. Christmas day i usually spend my time in my onsie or new PJ's that my mom and dad have brought me! Better to be comfortable that to be itchy and uncomfortable.

12. Have you ever had a white Christmas where you live?
We have but i don't think we will this year, unless the heavens suddenly open with a flood of snow tonight all we will be getting this year is wind, rain and frost!

13. Favorite winter candle scent?
This year i have been loving 'Merry Marshmallow' by Yankee candle and since its now Christmas eve i can now burn the 'Christmas Eve' Wax tart i brought! EXCITING TIMES!!

14. How will you be celebrating this holiday
I shall be spending it with family, enjoying food and just enjoying the relaxation time i have off from not being at school! Perfect Christmas time to me!

I hope you guys enjoyed that tag!
I just thought it would be some thing a little different!
Anyways like i said i hope you all have a wondering Christmas/Holiday with your loved ones.
Take Care.

Primark Beauty Eyeliner Pen ♥

Hey guys!
I've been meaning to do this review for a while now and every time i have thought of sitting down to type it something else has always grabbed my attention and later on I've forgot but I've remembered and here we go!
Today's post as you can tell by the title is about the Primark Beauty Eyeliner pen in black.


I brought this for £1.50 as you can see from the picture above and at first it was amazing and it lasted all day, glided on perfectly and the tip was just like a felt tip pen which i have used and liked in the past from makeup brands such as MUA. This tip of this product looked like this.


As you can see its just a normal felt tip pen. The lines that this product makes can differ from really thin, thin and thick depending on how you wanted to style your eye make up.


I used this for about 2 to 3 weeks not every day because i hardly put eye makeup on a day to day basis but on about the 3rd or 4th week of me going to use this eyeliner I took the cap off to something horrible and disgusting. GREEN MOLD HAD STARTED TO FORM ON THE TIP OF THE PEN!! I'm not talking just a little bit im taking about 30-50% of the tip covered in this green mold ball. I didn't take a picture of the mold because my first instinct was to throw it half way across my room into my bin and feel disgusted at the fact that I had been putting that product on my eyes and it could have easily given me an infection. 
Honestly I don't think i will buy any more Primark beauty products. This was enough to put me off. Be careful which was makeup you buy, it may not be safe
Hope your all having a good day/night.
Take care.

Tis the season to be jolly!

Hey guys!
Hope you are all okay. 
As i type this i am listening to Michael Buble's Christmas album getting in the spirit of christmas since it is finally DECEMBER!
This year has gone so quick I can't believe we are nearly in 2014!
I haven't posted in a while and i like i always do when i have been away for a block period of time i always let you guys know what i have been up too and what you can look forward too!
Let's get the boring part over so you guys can read what's coming up!
I've been watching too many YouTube videos recently since many of my favorite youtubers have started doing vlogmas since its the run up to christmas which isn't really helping with the fact i have loads of homework building up and blog posts to put up for you guys!
 Also last weekend i put the christmas decorations up which me and my family always do on the first weekend in December, this is the point where i can start getting excited for christmas and begin to get all festive! I do get some christmas present during November but to be honest that seems more of a chore at that time of year more than a fun time. However this is the first year in ages that i have not waited until the last week before christmas to buy presents! Pat on the back to me!

SO... What's coming up? 
I have a mini candle haul coming up soon as well a couple of hauls and a couple of chatty posts! Stay tuned for those and maybe a couple of random posts!
Take Care.
Post soon x

The Autumn/Winter - TAG ♥

Hey guys!
I hope you're all doing well, as i type out this little tag i'm sitting in my music classroom listening to 'Story of my life - One Direction' because its amazing and i can't get it out of my head! anyways that isn't what this post is about... i haven't ever done a tag post on this blog and the reason for that is because i've never been tagged by anyone to do a tag. However i'm still going to do this tag! Just a disclaimer i didn't think of this tag by myself i did see it on someone blog and i thought it was a cute tag, so there you go! Let's get started!



What item of clothing do you love to wear in winter but wouldn't be seen wearing in public?
There isn't really anything that i wouldn't wear out in public that i wouldn't wear in my own home, if i had to pick one i would probably have to say my christmas themed onsie... 

Most wanted item for autumn/winter?
I really really want a sully from monsters inc onsie... i may have to find somewhere online that sells them and buy one ready for christmas! 

Favourite boots to wear in winter:
I don't really wear boots in winter, i wear hi-tops mainly... i've really been into wearing heels or boots or sandals... all i need is a good pair of hi-tops and I'm good to go!

Are you a fan of UGG boots?
Honestly... No. I think they are horrible. They are up there is with crocks. I hate seeing people walking round with UGG boots on and they have worn them so much that they are walking on this side of them... ill insert a picture for those of you who don't know what i mean... 
EWWWWWWW!
*Image from google images*

It's snowing/raining outside, what are your favourite wellies to wear?
Honestly... i would just wear my old hi-tops... how bad am i at this tag 
already... if i'm not wearing my hi-tops outside i would be in bed in the warm :'D

What is your favourite autumn trend?
I haven't really got one... i love wearing darker make-up during these seasons, i love dark smokey eyes and dark lipsticks, can't have too many dark lipsticks for these seasons <3


What is your typical winter day consisting of?
If i'm not at school, i'm usually in bed with either my laptop, a cuppa tea and a blanket, or sometimes if i'm feeling a bit rebellious i play on my xbox, nothing keeps you warm like killing a few zombie on left 4 dead! ;D


Cup of tea, hot chocolate, or coffee?
ALL THREE! who can pick just one lets me honest! I love a good cuppa tea in the morning, coffee during the day to keep you awake and energised and then a hot chocolate a couple of hours before doing to sleep to relax you! PERFECT!


Do you like or dislike that it's starting to get dark?
I dislike it more than i like it if i'm honest. I hate having to get up for school in the dark and leaving school in the dark... its feel like i should be in bed and not getting ready to fight the cold that the english weather brings. In a way thought, i also kinda like that, it makes me feel like its closer to... i'm going to have to say it... Christmas!


Christmas is coming, do you have any idea of what you want?
Nope. No idea at all... i guess i just have to hope that santa has good taste and knows me well... he should he's know me for the past 18 years ;D

There you go! This tag didn't really tell you much about me but i thought it would be a cute and quick tag to do for you guys! I hope you are all having a good day!

Sophie where have you been?

Hey guys!
WOW! its been nearly 2 months since i updated this blog... those 2 months have gone so quick i can't even explain! So... What has been going on?
Mid October i went to Greece for a week, it was one of the best weeks of my year so far just because it was a time where i can just relax and enjoy time with my family as well as the bonus of being away from school and teachers! The only downside with the holiday is that even before it started we got diverted to a different airport for 2/3 hours while the plain refueled due to the bad weather we couldn't land.
As well as being on holiday last Monday it was my 18th birthday! yep i said it right 18... i don't feel it. Everyone asks me "what does it feel like to be 18?" and the honest answer? It feels the same as being 17, 16, 15 haha!
I could make a whole blog post about what i got for my birthday but im not going to due to many reasons. The one thing i will tell you guys on this blog is that i got my first car! Yes, my own first car! For those of you who know your cars its a "Fiat Punto Active Sporting" in an electric blue colour!

Its the car i have wanted since looking into getting my first car, the colour is my favorite colour in the world and to find a car in that colour was just amazing! 
On the actual day of my birthday i didn't do much, i stayed at home and my family ordered a take away in just so we could relax and not get all dressed up to go out. I didn't mind doing this actual it was my idea. This Saturday i'm seeing all my family and friends at my late birthday party which will be fun and we can all dance the night away! 
Apart from those two main things i haven't really been up to much, i would have updated you guys a bit more but i have been struggling with what to post and tell you guys, if you have any ideas i would love hear them!
Well that's it for now, expect a few new blog posts coming soon, maybe a couple of reviews!

Take care x
