LOVE/HATE TAG

Hey guys! I was tagged by Emma at www.peacelovevintage.com a few days ago to do the love/hate challenge, and to be honest I've been having a little trouble completing it! The objective is to write down 10 things you love and 10 you hate, pretty simple really, but when you actually sit down to write it, it seems a lot harder than it is! 10 things I hate? I wasn't really sure! But here is as far as I got with it!

Love:

(10 things I love is a little easier for me to do!)

1. Jack, my fiancé. Pretty self explanatory really! I've been with Jack nearly 4 and a half years, and we've been engaged since January last year :)
2. My Family. Again, obvious for someone to love their family. I'm pretty close with all of mine and we all see each other regularly which I love!
3. Baking! I find something really relaxing about baking cakes, and can spend hours decorating and making things out of fondant, I'd love to make some sort of business out of it someday.
4. Movies. I absolutely love movies, in all different genres. Film has always been a big part of my life, I took it as an A Level at college, me and Jack always visit the cinema, I'm constantly buying new blu-rays for my collection, and me and Jack pretty much watch a movie either we own or on Netflix every other night. My favourite genre is action/thriller though!
5. My Friends! I have a pretty close group of friends and we are always talking through group chat, and pretty much see each other every weekend, all weekend! I don't know where I would be without them.
6. Photography. Again, something I took at A Level, I have always been interested in taking images and editing them, something that I think comes in handy with my blog!
7. Christmas time. Definitely my favourite time of the year, I love everything about Christmas! The clothes, early nights, hot chocolate, decorations, movies, all of my favourite things at one time! Haha :)
8. Malibu - bit of a naughty one haha! I look forward to a few drinks every weekend with my friends and Malibu is always my drink of choice, with coke, or in fancy cocktails I enjoy making!
9. Holidays. This year I have been to New York with University, but I haven't had the chance to go on a normal beach holiday like I normally do with Jack - something I've missed in the pretty short 'summer' we got here in England haha! I love everything about holidays, who doesn't!
10. Music. I've always been into different types of music, I fondly remember listening to both S Club 7 and Evanescence when I was young, and this is still the same now - I like some chart music, but I still have a strong love for bands like A Day To Remember and All Time Low. These are the type of bands I enjoy seeing live, purely for the atmosphere.

Hate:

1. Spiders! They are probably my biggest fear. Even hate the little money spiders! Thinking about them moving gives me shivers! ergh!
2. Being sick. I've always been particularly bad at dealing with being sick. I always cry, even before I've been sick most of the time.
3. People being horrible to animals. There is just no need for it, it makes me seriously angry! Why would you want to hurt an animal? As I just said, I'm petrified of spiders, but I couldn't and wouldn't want to kill one for no reason, I always just have to run away and ask Jack to throw it back outside!
4. People being late. There's just something that really bugs me about waiting around for other people.
5. Not being able to get to sleep. So frustrating!
6. Traffic/ bad drivers. I only passed my test in February, but waiting around in traffic is so annoying, and the amount of bad drivers on the road is ridiculous!
7. Being bored. I sounds stupid, but I think we probably all have those days where you cant think of anything to do! And when you want to be doing something, it's really frustrating!
8. Not being able to choose an outfit to wear! So annoying!
9. When your make up keeps going wrong, even after several attempts to fix it.
10. Feeling behind on work, with uni or my blog. When I feel like nothing I'm writing is good enough or my work is just rubbish - it can really knock your confidence and find it even harder to get back in to the swing of things!

So that's it guys! Hopefully I wasn't too long winded or boring with my answers, but I hope you enjoyed it!

RIMMEL LONDON KATE - NUDE COLLECTION

Hey guys! So the new Kate Moss Collection has launched from Rimmel London! It's a 10 piece capsule collection, containing 5 nude lipsticks and 5 nail polishes. The lipstick colours range enough so that you should be able to find one to suit you, whatever your skin tone. As I am pretty pale, I went for the two lightest shades, 40 and 42.

The lipsticks are lovely, incredibly creamy and give a really nice finish on the lips! Being honest, as they are nude, they aren't the longest lasting lipsticks but I'm not really fussed about re-applying every couple of hours. I also found the colours to be really build-able so you can get different effects from it! They retail at £5.49, however if you get to Boots soon they are holding a buy one get one half price deal on all Rimmel products, so you can grab 2 for around £8! I didn't manage to get any of the nail varnishes this time but there's definitely a couple of those I want to pick up too! 

The top lipstick is the lightest in the range, number 40, and as you can see it is a really pretty light baby pink colour, It probably works best on light skin tones as it does come up pretty light. The bottom, number 42, is actually my favourite out of two and is a slightly darker dusty rose colour, I think this one would probably work on a few skin tones!

Do you think you'll be trying any of the range?

BEDHEAD HAIRSPRAY

Hey guys! Whilst I was in TXMAXX a while ago, I spotted this hairspray and really wanted to buy it. I love the Bed Head Shampoo and Conditioners so I thought this could only be as good! However, I was a bit put off by the £10 price tag. I decided to go home and look on sites like Amazon and ebay as they normally do things even cheaper, but I found that it was was the same price online if not more expensive! So, when I had just been paid and happened to see it staring at me in TXMAXX again, I just couldn't say no. And hey, it's a big bottle, it'll last me ages *tries to justify self*.

So, when I got it home I just wanted to use it instantly and test it out. It. Is. Amazing. It leaves my hair feeling frozen in place, but not crispy and horrible looking like you get with some other hairsprays. It smells really nice and it actually held really well in my hair, too! My waves lasted twice as long as they normally do! So far, so good!

Have you splurged on any beauty products recently?
