This or That, Beauty Tag!

Hey everyone xx I was asked to take part in an interview type post called 'This or That, Beauty Tag'  a while ago.  I never got around to it but I liked the idea so I have decided to revisit it now. I like doing these kind of posts because behind every wardrobe there is someone with a personality! Here it is...

Makeup

1) Blush or Bronzer?

It has to be blusher. I have quite a pale complexion but I don't try and hide it with bronzer.

2) Eyeliner or Mascara?

Mascara! I love eyeliner for going out but it's not a daily essential.

3) Gel, Liquid or Cream Liner?

Liquid even though it's tricky to put on.

4) Waterproof or Non Waterproof mascara?

Well, waterproof is definitely more practical but I find that it clumps more so I would have to say non waterproof.

3) Foundation or Concealer?
Concealer all the way. Foundation clogs up my skin and and feels heavy on my face.

4) Liquid or Powder Foundation?

Er probably powder. It feels nicer on my skin and reduces shine.

4) Neutral or coloured Eye Shadow?

I would have to say neutral shades. I like experimenting with colour but I prefer to go for a more natural look. 

5) Pressed or loose Eye Shadow?

Pressed powder is less messy but I don't really mind to be honest. Either.

6) Matte or Sparkly Eye Shadow?

It depends on the occasion but if I'm going out I like sparkles.Who doesn't love sparkles.

6) Brushes or Sponges?

Brushes (my sponges all fall apart).

7) Lip Gloss or Lipstick?

If I had to choose it would be lipstick but I often put gloss over my lipstick.

8) Lip Balms or Lip Butters?

Lip balm. I have a fanta flavored one.

Nails

1) OPI or China Glaze?

Probably china glaze but colour is the most important thing.

2) Long or Short?

I prefer having long nails but I play the piano so they become irritating and impractical. 

3) Acrylic or Natural?

Natural. It's much quicker.

4) Brights or Darks?

I would have to say brights (especially for summer) but I also like a really dark red.

5) Flower or no Flower?

I LOVE nail art but some nail flowers can look really tacky, especially stick on ones. However if it's done well then definitely, go for it.

6) Glitter or no Glitter?

Glitter nail varnish is amazing but it is so difficult to get off so I'm going to say no glitter.

7) Matte or Shiny?

Shiny but I have a pink matte nail varnish from topshop which is amazing.

Body

1) Lotion or Body Butter?

Ermm butter.

2) Perfume or Body Spray?

I prefer perfume (partly because of the pretty bottles) but the hollister body spray is really nice.

3) Body Wash or Soap?

I always lose the soap in the bath so it has to be body wash. I know that's a bad reason but whatever.

4) Lush or other bath company?

The lush shop smells so nice but I also like 'I love cosmetics...' and the body shop.

5) Tan or no Tan?

No tan. I hate it when people overdo it and look like oranges, I don't know why anyone would want to do that to themselves???

Hair

1) Curly or Straight?

I have curly hair and I used to straighten it loads but now I'm embracing the curl!

2) Ponytail or Bun?

It depends on your hair type. I think ponytails look nice on people with straight hair but for me, I love a messy bun.

3)  Hair Grips (bobby pins) or Butterfly Clips?

Definitely hair grips. Butterfly clips are cute but they never keep all of my hair in place.

4) Hairspray or Gel?

I would have to say hairspray, but not very much of it. I find that hairspray makes my hair like cardboard and gel makes it sticky so I prefer just to let it do it's own thing. Clear mascara is great for taming flyaways though, seriously it works.

5) Long or Short?

I think that some people really suit short hair but I love long hair. Like Rapunzel.

6) Blonde or Brunette?

They both look really nice but I've got brown hair so I'm going to have to back the brunettes.

7) Side Swept bangs or Full?

No bangs. I love the whole Zooey Deschanel thing but it dosen't work for everyone.

8) Up or Down?
Down. It suits my face so much more.

Fashion

1) Jeans or sweatpants?

Jeans because they look so much nicer but I am partial to the occasional 'sweatpant day'.

2) Long Sleeve or short?

Short sleeve for a tee but obviously long sleeve shirts.

3) Dresses or Skirts?

I can't believe that I'm being made to chose! Probably dresses even though I don't get much chance to wear them (but I do love skater skirts).

4) Stripes or Plaid/Tartan?

Tartan! I did a post a while ago on how to wear it (click here). 

5) Flip Flops or Sandals?

Wedge sandals are my fave (despite the fact that I find it difficult to walk). I do like flip flops but they're not very practical.

6) Necklaces or Bracelets?

Bracelets, especially when you stack them up.

8) Heels or Flats?

I have a soft spot for my battered Converse but when I'm going out I like to wear heels. 

10) Jackets or Hoodies?

Jackets! You can wear them for any occasion whereas you can't do that with hoodies. I also like a good Christmas jumper.

Random

1) Rain or Shine?
I love it when the sun shines even though it's a rare occurrence where I live! I don't mind the rain but it messes up my hair and I always forget an umbrella.

2) Summer or Winter?

Christmas is amazing but I would have to say that I prefer Summer just because of the long summer holidays. 

3) Fall/Autumn or Spring?

Both! Spring is beautiful and my birthday is in Fall/Autumn. 

4) Favourite Ice Cream Flavour?

Mint choc chip all the way. Yum :)

5) Favourite Singer?
This list could go on forever! I love Nina Nesbitt, Taylor Swift, the Arctic Monkeys, Lorde etc. I like a variety of music really.

Guest Post from Framecake

The guest post (interview style) from Sazzly Glimmer, owner of the amazing blog 'Framecake' has arrived! Enjoy...



Why did you start framecake?

I started framecake earlier this year because a friend of my mum's was asking if I liked fashion.. She said I should make a blog so, at 11 o'clock of that night framecake was born!! I'm now seriously addicted to blogging!

What is your favourite high street shop?

I wear lot's of Topshop but I really love Zara at the moment!! I think their tops are lovely this season!!

^^A quirky Zara ear cuff I treated myself to recently because I love to look crazy because that's exactly who I am!!

What is your favourite item of clothing?

My red jumper which my Nana bought for me! It's big, its red, its warm, its comfy and it goes with everything! (Either it goes with everything or I just wear it with everything- that's the same thing right???)

Who is your favourite designer?

Really love Mary Katrantzou at the moment but have had a passion for Vivienne Westwood for years... And Henry Holland.. I couldn't choose!!

Mary Katrantzou, Dame Vivienne Westwood, Henry Holland AW13

What is your favourite Fashion Magazine?

Well, I love reading Style which I get every Sunday in the Sunday Times and have loved it for years! I am also developing a love for Company Magazine too!! Never been a real magazine person but I think I'm slowly being converted!

If you could have anyone's wardrobe for a day whose would it be?

I have a major love for Alexa Chung and her beautiful day-to-day style so I would say her! Can I look like her too??

Have you had any fashion disasters?

I think that some people would probably class most of my day to day looks as fashion disasters- all my crazy experimenting is just a learning curve. Quote me on that. Sounds very intelligent

If you had to live in one outfit for the rest of your life then what would it be?

It's not mine, but if I could I would live in this Oscar de la Renta dress that the beautiful Rihanna wore to the Brits way back in 2011!! I just totally fell in love with it!
And Vans, I'd wear Vans because I love them.
