WEEKLY WISHES #1

Hi everyone! Each week I use the Reminder app on my IPhone to write down all my goals for the week. So I decided to start a series of weekly wishes to stay organised and hopefully inspire you guys to writing some yourself. I don't have a whole lot to report from last week but with Christmas right around the corner, my schedules getting busier & busier. Not to mention all the coursework I have to do before Christmas.

SISTERHOOD OF THE WORLD BLOGGER AWARD

Hi everyone! I have been tagged by the lovely, Casey from 'notsorosetinted' to do the sisterhood of the world blogger award. I've actually not heard of it until now so it should be interesting.

 

The rules are...  

 

1. Thank the blogger who nominated you, linking back to their site

2. Put the award logo on your blog

3. Answer the ten questions that have been set you

4. Make up ten new questions for your nominees to answer

5. Nominate other bloggers

 

You know the rules so here are my answers to the 10 questions...

 

1. What is your all time favourite beauty product?

If I'm honest with you, I really don't know. I don't have just one favourite beauty product, if you want to see my favourites from last month, click the link... http://lifeinthesefastlanes.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/october-favourites.html  

 

2. If you were to shop at only one store for the rest of your life, where would it be and why?

I would usually say Topshop because that's my favourite shop. However if I could only ever shop from one place it would be Primark because they have everything, from basics to fashion statements.

 

3. What is your favourite way to style your hair?

Lately I've been wearing the side fish-braid a lot. Its just a nice way to keep my hair out my face for college as well as looking done up.

 

4. A new product you're loving recently? (it can be anything!)

Now everything Christmassy has come out, I went back and purchased my all time favourite candle, 'Fireside treats'. The smell is honestly a' ma' zing...amazing! Its smells exactly like marshmallows being burnt in the fire, so well done to who ever made it because it is spot on!

 

5. Favourite nail varnish brand?

Has to be Essie!

 

6. What's your favourite make up brush to use for foundation?

My favourite foundation brush is the Real Techniques Buffing brush, it just works the foundation into the skin without leaving any lines. No one likes foundation lines!

 

7. 3 beauty must haves?

1. Naked Urban Decay basics pallete! It has all the perfect colours for a natural everyday smoky eye.

2. Benefits they're real push up liner! I love this eyeliner because it lasts longer than any other eyeliner I've tried and its so easy to apply.

3. Mac lipsticks! They're moisturising and have really good pigmentation. There's also so many colours which is why I haven't picked a pacific one. 

 

8. Would you rather go out on the town, or have a quiet night in?

I'd rather have a quite night in because you just get to relax and do whatever you want without being told otherwise. I'm definitely someone who appreciates a night of relaxation.

 

9. What do you use to take your make-up off at the end of the day?

I don't use things that are actually supposed to be used to take of makeup however I just wash my face with lush's 'let the good times roll'.

 

10. Your favourite Christmas film?

I don't really have one, but if I do find one that I really like I'll let you know.

AW14 READY-TO-WEAR: LOUIS VUITTON

Hi everyone! I recently came across Louis Vuitton's AW14 collection and I was inspired by a few of the outfits. As expected from Louis Vuitton there were a lot of suede and a lot of leather. They said that old styles will come back and I think this is just the collection to start that off, thanks to that 70's vibe of the collection. I personally appreciate tailored pieces and this collection is full of them.

 

 

 

 

Thank you for reading. If you liked this post and want to see more collections, give this post a like or comment. Big kiss! S.

 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

You know the rules so here are my answers...

 

1.How old are you?

I am currently 16 years old and I will be 17 next march.

2.What’s your favourite shop?

It depends on what I'm looking for, if its clothes ill go to Topshop but if its beauty, my favourite shop is Lush!

3.Do you like Online Shopping?

I enjoy online shopping, I mean who doesn't? However I'm a size 4 so everything I buy usually is too big and then I cant be bothered to send it back. So it usually turns out to be a waste of money.

4.What’s your favourite colour?

At the moment my favourite colour is like a mustard shade of yellow, however I live in grey and black.

5.Do you have a pet?

Yes! I have 6 cats and 1 dog, However today has been a really bad day for me because I had to give away two of my kittens and I absolutely love my pets so when they go, its really hard to see. So I now have only 4 cats and 1 dog.  

6.Where’s your furniture from?

This is probably the weirdest question so far out of all the questions I've had but most of my furniture is from Ikea and then I have loads of little bits from other stores.

7.Do you love Christmas?

Of course! Christmas is my favourite time of year, everywhere gets 10 times prettier with decorations, shopping becomes more recent and its just when family like to get together and I'm defiantly a person who appreciates that.  

 8.What are you favourite Flowers?

I don't have a favourite flower, I think they're all so gorgeous. However during seasons I like to buy different colours for example I currently have some orange and red flowers in my room to put me in a fall mood.

9.What’s your favourite TV Show?

I've already mentioned my favourite TV show in this post and that is Made in Chelsea. I just love it!!

10.What do you think about … Primark?

When I hear Primark, I immediately think, Cheap, Fashionable and Bad quality. I like Primark, they stay up to trend but keep the prices really low. However everything I buy from Primark has fallen apart after a couple of weeks.

11.What’s the most expensive Thing you have in your closet ?

 I don't like to spend a lot of money on clothes because the trend changes all the time so I have a pair of cut out shoes and a  boyfriend coat both from Topshop and they were both £60 each.

BANISH TIRED LOOKING SKIN

Hi everyone! Now that the holidays are over, its back to waking up, early mornings with bags under your eyes and tired-looking skin. As much as you try to hide those bags with makeup, they're still just as visible. After looking through magazines, I finally found 3 ways you can reduce this.

 

1. Two pillows! 

Use more than one pillow at night so that your head is lifted and fluids don't rush to your face, causing puffiness when you wake up.

 

2. Fridge!

By putting your morning skincare products in the fridge before you go to bed, they can make your skin look less sluggish when you apply them in the morning.

 

3. Tinted cream!

Apply a cream that is subtly tinted, instantly hydrating and leaves a fresh dewy glow to help hide that tired looking skin.

 

So these are all my tips, I hope they helped you guys. Thank you for reading. Big kiss! S.

NOVEMBER

Hi everyone! I recently published a post based on all the things I love about Autumn and I'm heading in the same direction however this time, its just about November. This year has gone by so fast, there's only two months left. This month I'm looking forward to...

 

1. Remember, remember the 5th of November!

Bonfire night is one of my favourite occasions. The whole family and I sit on top of a hill and watch all the fireworks going off in the sky. We stay prepared with a few blankets as it does get very cold and then a little later on, light are own sparklers. Its really a magical night.

 

2. Starbucks!

During November Starbucks like to change up their menus. I absolutely love their Pumpkin spice lattes, if you haven't tried one yet, I really recommend it.  Also you definitely know Christmas is right around the corner when the red cups come out and its one of the main things that get me in the Christmassy mood.

 

3. Christmas shopping!

Finally, the best thing about November is that its socially acceptable to get into the festive spirit. As well as buying myself a gift or two along the way, I absolutely love shopping for other people. You cant deny yourself a few gifts when everything in Zara, Topshop, Lush and every other store out their has so many new good things. Even window shopping becomes more fun thanks to all the beautiful decorations.

 

What things are you looking forward to this month? What's you favourite occasion in November?

 

So that's everything for todays post, comment below your answers to the questions and I look forward to hearing them. Thank you for reading. Big kiss! S.
