Bunny Friendly Beauty Tag

I was tagged by Morag from mo'adore and you can read her post here; the tag was first created by Victoria - you can read hers here.

How long have you been on your cruelty free journey?

I think it was around 2010, so nearly 6 years!

What made you decide to go cruelty free?

I'm not sure of the pivotal moment however I think I just thought about it one day and realised I didn't know enough about it, then after looking into it I discovered how common it still was.  This led me to do my own research on brands and find out which ones were cruelty free and which to avoid.

What has been the hardest product to find a cruelty free dupe for?

A good anti-perspirant/deodorant! I have found ones which are okay, but nothing as good as the ones I used pre-cruelty free unfortunately.

What's the best cruelty free dupe you've found?

I have been cruelty free for so long that this is a hard question for me!  I don't really go for dupes intentionally, I tend to just buy things because I like them anyway.

What product or brand do you wish was cruelty free?

Not one in particular but it would be great if high street brands such as the likes of Maybelline or L'Oreal were cruelty free as they are such huge, powerful companies it would make a big difference, as well as the fact they are so affordable and attainable!

What's your holy grail cruelty free brand?

Probably Superdrug as it's great for getting the essentials like toothpaste then things like suncream.  However I do my food shop shop in Morrisons which is also cruelty free for beauty products, I am hoping their cleaning/household items will soon be BUAV approved soon as well.

Name one cruelty free brand we might not have heard of?

White Rabbit Skincare - an independent Scottish skincare brand which are lovely, also vegan!

Are you a vegan? If so, for how long and have you had any struggles? If not, why not?

Not currently vegan but I have been pescatarian since 2012 and vegetarian since moving out in 2014 and there is no way I would go back to meat, I don't miss it at all!

I am slowly making vegan swaps to things in my own cooking - butter, for example.  I think realistically I will end up being vegan at home and be vegetarian when eating out but I'll see, it might all just fall into place the way it did going veggy! 

What's your favourite local vegan friendly venue?

I live just outside Manchester which is a brilliant city for veggy/vegan places.  A particularly good one is VRevolution which is a totally unhealthy vegan junk/fast food selling the most amazing burger and hot dog concoctions!  They also have a little mini shop selling lots of vegan goodies such as chocolates, and meat and cheese substitutes.

You have 30 seconds to convert someone to a cruelty free lifestyle - what would you say to them?

I would say that although one person doesn't seem like they are making a difference, it is amazing to know yourself that you are not causing harm to animals by your lifestyle and that just by mentioning your views to others can make them rethink their choices.

The Scottish Tag

I found this tag on Hayley's blog but it was originally created by Scottish Youtuber, BeautyCreep  (original video link) who I weirdly know from school and work, small world!!

Whereabouts in Scotland are you from?

I am from a town in West Dunbartonshire which is about 30 minutes north-west of Glasgow.  My mum is from this area but my dad comes from Glasgow, I have lived here since I was born until I moved to Manchester last year.

However my gran is English and I believe one of my great-grandparents is Irish so I am a bit of a mixture!  I'd love to look into our family tree more, I think it would be so interesting! 

Where is your favourite place that you've been to in Scotland?

I am going to go for Loch Lomond which is where I was brought up so I am a bit biased!  It is a stunning area and it's privilege to have lived so close (and hopefully will again soon!) to such a place.  I definitely recommend it for anyone wanting to visit Scotland, it's really scenic but less than an hour away from Glasgow by car/train. 

Where would you like to visit in Scotland?

There's loads of places I want to visit including, Arran, Inverness, Arisaig, The Fairy Pools (Skye) and Fingal's Cave on Staffa.

What is your favourite Scottish film?

Erm... *Googles Scottish films* Okay so I have only actually seen a couple of these!  Filth is probably my favourite out of the list but not overall...  Trainspotting is certainly worth a watch but it's rather gritty.  I do love Brave actually but it's not technically Scottish is it...

On a similar note, I have never seen Braveheart, I'm a terrible Scot!

Do you match up to any Scottish stereotypes?

I LOVE Irn Bru, to point where it is actually a bit of an addiction... 

I also swear quite a lot around my friends but tone it way down for family and in public!

What is your favourite Scottish food?

Pizza Crunch Supper?  I think this is Scottish... it's basically deep-fried battered pizza which you get from the chippy.  Pretty much a heart attack on a plate but SO GOOD!  I also like the traditional (vegetarian) haggis, neeps and tatties but I don't have it very often. 

Do you follow any Scottish traditions?

I do enjoy a good Ceilidh (which is traditional Scottish dancing) and also follow the tradition of 'first-footing' at Hogmanay (new year).  If you are the first person into a house (be it your own or someone else's) after midnight on NYE then you should always be carrying something as a gift, even if it is just a bottle of juice and some biscuits, which bring good luck for the coming year.  The first person bringing it in should also be a tall, dark and handsome male, but we can't have everything, eh?

What is your favourite Scottish word?

So many!  Living in England I am continually discovering words/phrases which I use all the time that I didn't even realise were Scottish until I get some blank, bemused looks from my colleagues...  As for my favourite, well, here are a few:

Fanny, dour, fusty, mink, boggin, mingin, clatty, gubbed...

What is your favourite Scottish song?

I used to study classical singing and a lot of the songs I sang were traditional Scottish songs which I maybe wouldn't have come across otherwise.  Obviously O Flower of Scotland is up there which is basically Scotland's unofficial national anthem, along which Highland Cathedral which is really nice.  

Wild Mountain Thyme is lovely, also Ye Banks and Braes and My Love is like a Red, Red Rose - ahh there are so many!

There are also loads of hilarious ones like Ye Canny Shove Yer Granny Aff a Bus and The Jeely Piece Song (ye canny fling pieces oot a 20 storey flat), hahah... please do google these if you're unfamiliar!

Can you recommend any Scottish bloggers/vloggers?

My fave Scottish bloggers would obviously be Water Painted Dreams, Colours and Carousels and Mo'adore! Also love BeautyCreep's youtube channel.

I tag anyone who wants to do this, even if you're not actually Scottish but just love the place!  Let me know in the comments if you have done it so I can go and have a read :)

The Harry Potter Tag

You may already know that I am a HUGE Harry Potter fan, so when I saw the tag on Hayley's blog I obviously had to do it!  I'm not actually sure who started it though, if know leave me a comment and I can credit them in the post.

The photos are from the Harry Potter Studios at Warner Brothers just outside London.  My parents took me there for my 21st - best birthday ever!!

1. What is your favourite book?

Order of the Phoenix, I think I just quite enjoy the books which have a good bit of story before they actually go back to Hogwarts - I like that about the Goblet of Fire too.

2. What is your favourite film?

Tricky!  I do love the first one because it's so cute seeing them all as babies, then also the final one as it wraps it up nicely and is very emotional.

3. What is your least favourite book?

Maybe The Goblet of Fire?  I don't actually know, it's too hard, I love them all!  

4. What is your least favourite film?

Probably The Chamber of Secrets, but I do still like it a lot!

5. Which parts of the books/films made you cry?

I tend not to cry from books but I did actually cry a little bit when Hedwig died - yes I know!!  In the films, if I was alone, I would probably cry at every single death, and the last half of Deathly Hallows Part 2...

6. If you could hook up with any character who would it be?

Aw man, Draco!  I kind of love/hate the character but Tom Felton is so hot.  It would just be a one time only thing with a bad boy to get it out my system, he doesn't seem like the relationship type ;)

7. Who is your favourite character?

It's hard to choose but I do love Luna.

8. Who is your least favourite character?

Quite an easy one, Umbridge makes me feel so much anger and hatred for her it's crazy.  Shows how good Rowling is when she can make you feel so strongly about a character!

9. What is your least favourite line?

Line?!  I can't think of one in particular, there are loads of good quotes though which are usually from Dumbledore.

10. What would your patronus be?

Definitely a cat <3 Big or small, wild or domestic! 

11. If you could have the invisibility cloak, resurrection stone or elder wand, which would you choose?

The invisibility cloak so I can be creeper.

12. What house would you be in?

I was sorted into Gryffindor on Pottermore which I was a bit disappointed by to be honest!  However I have accepted and come to love myself as a Gryffindor - maybe.

13. If you could meet any member of the cast who would it be?

Hmm, Evanna Lynch seems lovely I think she would be good to meet, maybe Rupert Grint?

14. If you were on the Quiddich team, what position would you play?

I don't think there's any way I'd get onto a Quidditch team however if I did I would probably be best at being a Beater?!

15. Were you happy with the ending?

Yes.  I did kinda want him to die, which in a way he did, but I know I'd have been devastated if he had been killed off!  I liked The Battle of Hogwarts and how it was realistic and brutal as war is.  I saw a post of tumblr which gave the reasons why Rowling killed of the characters she did, it was very meaningful.  I didn't like the 19 years later bit though that was rather cheesy and unnecessary - especially in the film *cringe*

16. How much does Harry Potter mean to you?

After the final film, I cried on and off for about 3 days... genuinely, it was awful!  I just felt really overwhelmed that that was it all over and there would be no more Harry Potter things to look forward to!  I also kept watching really emotional montage videos on Youtube which really didn't help.  I grew up with the books and they're such a big part of my childhood/teenage years.  I even listen to the audiobooks every night to help me get to sleep.  

I'm also planning on getting the Deathly Hallows symbol as a tattoo at some point, woo nerdy!

Probably a controversial view but I would love for the films to be remade in like 20 years time just so I could relive it haha!  It would be interesting to see a different take on the books.

 Well, I think I have truly out-geeked myself with this post!  If you have done this or are going to do it, let me know in the comments so I can read your answers!!

The Book Lover Survey

Do you remember how you developed a love for reading? 
I was encouraged to read from a young age.  My dad used to make up stories for me when I was really young or read to me from a book, then I would be allowed 'five minutes' to read from my own book.  When I got a bit older I had trouble sleeping so he would read more complicated books to me such as Terry Pratchett ones and The Hobbit which helped me get to sleep!

Where do you usually read? 

In bed, usually at night or sometimes in the morning if I'm off work.  Also on the train if I'm going to be alone but I don't often get the train these days!

Do you prefer to read one book at a time or several at once? 

One!  I've tried reading a couple but it just gets really confusing.

What is your favourite genre? 

It's so hard to choose!  I enjoy teen books like The Hunger Games and the sort of dystopian ones which are appearing everywhere now but then I love Jodi Picoult's books which are courtroom dramas, I guess??

Is there a genre you will not read? 

Not so much won't but I don't tend to read any traditional crime or horror books.

Do you have a favourite book? 
Probably The Time Traveler's Wife but obviously I love the Harry Potter series too...

What is your least favourite book?
I read The Lovely Bones for an English project at school and absolutely hated it, I'm not even sure why.  I think it just seemed so creepy and all the characters were really annoying!

What is the longest book you have ever read? 

I recently read The Host which was really long!  I can't be sure if this is longest as it was on my Kindle but it definitely felt like it!

What was the last book you bought? 
The last book I bought was The Rosie Project as the eBook was on Amazon for 99p.  The last 'real' books I bought were a selection of chick lits from Asda which were £1 each, including the first in the 'I Heart..." series.

Do you prefer library books or buying books? 

I prefer to buy them but I do go to the library occasionally.  For example, I wanted to read the Pretty Little Liars books but they about £5 each and there's about 12 of them now, so instead I get them from my local library who can buy them in for me!

What are you currently reading?
I'm currently reading I Heart New York which I'm enjoying but it's making me want to go there so badly!

Autumn Tag

For Autumn, what is your...

1.  Favourite thing about it? 

Jumpers, boots and everything turning gorgeous orange and yellow colours!

2.  Favourite drink?

Costa Honeycomb Hot Chocolate... oh god, it's so good!  Not sure when it's coming back but I really hope it's soon!

3.  Favourite scent/candle?

 At the moment I don't really have one but I'm hoping to get a WoodWick candle for my birthday which is sort of forest-y scented which I think sounds really good!

4.  Best lipstick?

 As always berry colours will be in for Autumn so maybe Topshop Inhibition?

5.  Go to moisturiser?

I don't change skincare in the colder months even though my skin does dry out I think I just use more moisturiser!  I am currently using Liz Earle for the day and Buddha Beauty for nighttime.

6.  Go to colours for the eyes?

Probably gold and bronze tones, hello Naked palettes! 

7.  Favourite music or band/singer to listen to?

I don't really listen to music... awkward....

8.  Favourite outfit to wear (i.e. boots & a scarf combo)?

Jeans, jumper and boots!  I also got myself a nice tartan scarf this year so I'm looking forward to wearing that!

9.  Autumn treat?

Probably a new coat or boots, or both? :O

10.  Favourite place to be?

Chillin' on the sofa with my big cosy dressing gown on watching Netflix - Oh I lead such an exciting life!

I was tagged by Char and the original post is by Makeup-Pixi3 so you can check out their answers by following the links!  If anyone else has done it please link it below and I'll have a read :)

The Lipstick Tag

I was tagged by Hayley!  I tag anyone reading this to do it, if you already have feel free to leave your link below in a comment :)

How many lipsticks do you own?

17 including stains and lip tars.

What was your first ever lipstick?
The first lipstick I can remember was a 17 one I got for Christmas, it was a sort of browny colour and I only wore it once. To school. Why, Louise?? It really wasn't pretty!

What is your most worn lipstick?
Ahh that is really difficult actually! I think Topshop Infrared, I love orange lips!

What is your favourite brand?
Probably Topshop but I only have 2 of theirs.  MUA are good too especially for the price.

What is your favourite finish?
A sort of creamy finish probably, not too matte as my lips get very dry but not too glossy.

What was the last lip product you bought?
I honestly can't even remember!  I've not bought one in ages, Topshop Inhibition maybe?

How many glosses and balms do you currently have in your handbag?
I just have one lip balm, I rarely carry make up with me!

What lipstick do you wear to rock a red lip?
Lime Crime Red Velvet, uch so pretty!  See this post for swatches!

How do you store your lipsticks?
I store them in a jewellery box on the windowsill in my bathroom.  I did a lipstick storage and collection post which you can see here.

What lip products are you constantly lusting after?
I really want to try some of Lime Crimes lipsticks, they have some great colours.

What's In My [Kit] Bag?

As promised here is a breakdown of what is in my makeup kit bag for college at the moment.  You will notice there is a lot of Bobbi Brown in it which is because that is what they made us buy for our starter kit - don't even get me started, I think it is ridiculous and horrendously overpriced, especially for practicing on each other!!!  I would not buy Bobbi Brown ever again, it was only because we were basically forced to... This pile of shit skinned me £350 *deep breaths*

Anyway, enough moaning and onto the kit!  To make things easier I have put (CF) beside items which are cruelty free as there are a lot in here which aren't.

I got the bag from eBay for about £17 but I kind of wish that I just splashed out for the £30 Charles Fox one as I feel like this won't really last and the strap is actually sewed on squint...  Joys of eBay!

In The Pockets...

1. Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation SPF 15 in Golden 6 
2. Bobbi Brown Moisture Rich Foundation SPF 15 in Warm Sand 2.5 
3. Bobbi Brown Moisture Rich Foundation SPF 15 in Porcelain 0
4. Bobbi Brown Tinted Moisturizer in Medium

1. Bobbi Brown Lip Color Sandwash Pink 22
2. Bobbi Brown High Shimmer Lip Gloss in Black Ruby 8
3. Bobbi Brown Lip Liner in Ballet Pink

1. Benefit They're Real Mascara
2. YSL Touché Eclat
3. ELF Eyelid Primer
4. Surgical Spirit in a recycled Lush bottle!
5. Victoria Jackson Show Off Lip Compact

On The Inside...

I've got a few smaller bags inside to keep everything nice and neat, then bigger things just float about loose in the bag.

1. Bobbi Brown Oil-Free Even Finish Compact Foundation in Beige 3 
2. Bobbi Brown Oil-Free Even Finish Compact Foundation in Warm Ivory 1
3. Bobbi Brown Bronzer/Blush Duo - Bahama Brown & Pink Peony
4. Coastal Scents 10 Blusher Palette (CF but their brushes aren't)
5. Kryolan Loose Setting Powder (CF)

In this bag I have my powder puff (I use this when resting my hand on people's skin when doing eyeliner to stop me smudging their base), mascara spoolies (I clearly need some more haha!), spatulas, pointy cottonbuds and a pencil sharpener.

In the other bag I have makeup wipes (CF), lip balm (CF), eye makeup remover (CF), cleanser (CF), toner (CF - it's Lush!), eye cream, moisturiser and hand sanitiser. 

I've not labelled these are there's just so many!!  Most of them are just my own which I've got in sets at Christmas and never use...  If there's one in particular you're wondering about just let me know in the comments and I can tell you what it is! 

1. The Body Shop Shimmer Waves (CF)
2. Bobbi Brown Blush in Slopes 17
3. Kryolan Classic Lip Mini Palette (CF)
4. Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge in Powder Pink 6

Lastly I have Kryolan Dermacolor Mini Palette in Fair (CF) which I used to do a tattoo cover-up in this post, and a very cheap and cheerful MUA light pressed powder (CF).

So there you go!  I think I will also do a post on sanitising products as that is a very important part of being a makeup artist and also helpful for your own items, especially if you are prone to breakouts.

Eight Most Worn Things Tag

I am very much into my tag posts recently!  Here is another one :)

Lipstick/Lipgloss

I guess this is technically neither lipstick or lipgloss...  However it is my most worn lip product so I reckon it still counts!  This is ELF Mineral Moisturising Lip Tint SPF 8 in Berry.  You can see a full review for it here.  I tend to have this in my bag and it's easy to just slap on without worrying about it too much because the colour is quite subtle.  I also bought this in Pink Pop which I haven't actually tried yet but a post involving that will be coming up soon!

Earrings

My ex bought me these earrings as a present from his holiday I think it was?  They are just so pretty and perfect for everyday, adds a subtle bit of sparkle!

Top

I would probably say this Primark blouse is my most worn top!  It's so versatile and goes with basically everything, especially because of the colour!  It cost £10 and it washes up great, I got a size 6 as it is really big made and I didn't want it too loose.  I have also bought this in orange (of course) but it's definitely not as easy to match up with things.

Nail Polish

Glittery pink one in the centre

My camera can't cope with the glitter and holos :(

This category was ridiculously hard!  It's not even accurate because I own so many nail varnishes it takes a while for me to go back to a specific one.  I usually want one wear one I've just bought!  However, I've worn this twice on my toes and once on my fingers so I am choosing Prize by Nubar!  It is a stunning scattered holo pink.  Prize is from the Prisms collection and I would really like another one from the set.  To see swatches of all the polishes from the Prisms collection, and better photos then I have, click here as I have found a great post on them from VampyVarnish.  I got this from amazon a couple of years ago.

Shoes

This one is so boring!  These are just a pair of very plain black pumps with bows from Primark!  They are so comfy and go with everything so I wear them constantly.  I think they were about £8, maybe slightly less?

Hair Product

I'm such a fail, I literally never put anything on my hair other than shampoo and conditioner!  Very occasionally hairspray or heat protector but the majority of the time I let it dry naturally and don't style it... Does my hairbrush count?!

Perfume

I do actually have post on my favourite perfume and the difficulties I had tracking it down which you can find here, but for this post I have chosen White Musk as it is cruelty free and easy to get your hands on!  I am on the look out for some new perfumes, this is the only cruelty free one I own and when all my others run out I will be scunnered!  This is my second bottle - I wish they did 50 or 100ml bottles - and because it's eau de parfum it's lasted me quite a long time.

Handbag

This is the bag I am currently using, if you want to see what's in it then click here.  I do use my old bag for college now though as I need to take folders in but as I'm not in all that much I stick with this one most of the time.

<3

How Much Is My [everyday] Face?

I've been seeing a lot of these posts going around and I'm really curious as to how much mine is!  When it comes to my everyday make up I am very basic!  Mainly because I am so lazy and by no means am I a morning person so if there is a way for me to get an extra few minutes in bed I will find it!

Please note that the majority of these products are not cruelty free as I am just trying to use them up, as usual I will mention each item specifically.

I will mention each one in the order I apply them:

Origins VitaZing Moisturiser - £27.00 (not CF)
Mac Studio Finish Concealer - £14.50 (not CF)
ELF Eyebrow Kit - £3.75
Benefit They're Real mascara - £18.50
Covergirl Instant Cheekbones blusher - $5.29 (£3.33) (not CF)
Mac Blot Powder Pressed (although not anymore as it smashed and is now in a wee pot loose!) - £20.00 (not CF)

Total = £87.08

I am actually quite surprised at this!  However, A LOT of the prices have gone up, for example when I first bought VitaZing it was £25.  Also I got my staff discount on the Origins, Mac and Benefit items which is always a bonus.

If you've done one of these I'd love if you left me a link, they're so interesting to read :)

<3

What's In My Bag?

I love these kind of posts!  I am very nosy so they are right up my street.  I've been putting off doing one though because I was waiting until I got a new bag, the one I was using was quite big cos I used it for all my uni stuff so I needed A4 note pads, calculator, ruler... all that fun stuff.  However now that I won't be going back to uni I downsized and got this bag from H&M for £12.99 I think it was?

So that is it full, and below is with everything taken out!  I forgot a couple of things actually but only a pen and a lip balm so nothing too drastic!

1. My Kindle, or a book depending on what I'm reading at the time.  I've got a couple on the go at the moment...
2. My diary, I love writing everything down!  I have a terrible memory so this makes sure I don't forgot any plans I've made.
3. Cath Kidson travel card case, this was more handy for when I had my 1/3 off discount and used monthly season tickets but I still keep it in my bag anyway, it looks cute!
4. Ted Baker purse.  Orange is one of my favourite colours!  Sadly it is leather so I will probably be selling it in the next year or so but I only got it for my birthday and I love it so I'm trying to make good use of it.
5. Car and house keys.  I like to keep them all together so that if I'm using the car then I will definitely have my house keys with me too.
6. Wee foldy hairbrush, very handy to keep in your bag, also has a mirror on it too!
7. My swipes and badge for work, I always have these in my bag so I don't turn up without them!
8. This is a sort of emergency kit which I've put together and I'll show the contents of it below.
9. My iPhone!  It also has a wee orange sock to protect it but I'm not sure where that is at the moment...

The 'emergency kit' and work swipes I keep in the flapover part of the bag, the tassles are actually attached to zips so it makes a handy extra storage area.

In my wee bag I have:

• Hand gel
• Bobble
• Earphones
• Oragel for ulcers but I use it for my wisdom teeth coming in - I highly recommend it!
• Ibuprofen and Pro Plus
• Eye drops
• Contact lenses
• Nail file
• Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream tinted lip stuff (not CF)
• And half a hanky...

Finally here's a close of up of my purse and some of the cards I have in it:

• Boots card
• Superdrug card
• Debenhams Beauty Club card
• Student card
• Drivers license
• AA members card
• Morrisons Miles card

Obviously I then have my debit card (I don't keep my credit card in my purse, too much temptation!) and credit card I need for staff discount but they aren't shown.  I also have a library card but I had taken it out and forgot to put it back after going to the library yesterday.

Hope you've enjoyed reading this, I really enjoyed putting it together!  Sorry, it's a bit of a long one haha!

This Or That Tag

I am back! Yayyy! Exams are over for this year, aaand I have some super exciting news!  I'm starting college on Monday (only found out today too which was a bit of shock) to do a HNC in Fashion Make-up!  So to ease me back in gently I'm going to do this tag which I saw on Yamina's blog and thought it looked quite fun, so here we go...

Make Up

Blush or Bronzer?

Blush

Lipgloss or Lipstick?

Lipstick, lipgloss is too sticky and annoying but I do wear it sometimes

Chapstick or Lip Butter?

I do love my Lip Butter but as they're not cruelty free I guess I'd say chapstick, however I doubt that's CF either!

Matte or Sparkle Eye Shadow? 

Sparkle!

Eye Liner or Mascara?

Mascara

Gel, Liquid or Cream Eye Liner?

Probably gel, but I quite like them all.

Foundation or Concealer?

Concealer, I only wear foundation occasionally but concealer every day!

Liquid or Powder Foundation?

Liquid

Neutral or Colour Eye Shadow?

Hmm quite tough, but I think I tend to go for colours even though they are more muted.

Pressed or Loose Eye Shadow? 

Pressed, I'm too messy for loose things haha!

Waterproof or Non Waterproof?

Non-waterproof, waterproof is too hard to get off...

Brushes or Sponges?

Brushes, I have a sponge for a cream-to-powder foundation but I don't use them for anything else.

Powder Highlighter, Cream or Liquid?

At the moment I love my powder highlighter which you can see here.

Nails

OPI or Essie?

Neither are CF!

Acrylic or Natural?

I quite like acrylics but only occasionally as they aren't good for your nails, so I'll say natural for this one.

Brights or Darks?

Brights

Matte or Shiny?

Shiny! I hate it when it's not shiny enough for me!

Glitter or No Glitter?

Hmm I do love glitter but I'll probably say no glitter as I tend to avoid it cos it's so annoying to remove.

Body

Perfume or Body Splash?

Perfume, The Body Shop White Musk is my go-to scent.

Lotion or Body Butter?

Erm... just what's lying around really I'm terrible I only apply it after shaving my legs or if my skin feels particularly dry... 

Body Wash or Soap?

I quite like soap now actually!  Especially Lush ones, mmm!

Self Tanners or Natural?

I love being fake tanned but it's too much effort, I put it on my legs if I'm wearing them bare on a night out but I'll say natural for this one!

So that's it!  I hope you enjoyed it and if you do it please send me a link! :)

But here's a sneak peak of what will be coming up very soon, all from cutECOsmetics:
