The Beauty Scenario Tag!

 The Beauty Scenario Tag!
Thank you so much for tagging us Gabrielle from A Glass Of Ice :). We haven't done a tag in so long and this one looks intresting and it's all about makeup so how couldn't we join in?!

You have to get rid of all of your foundations and only keep one high end and one drugstore, which do you keep?
I don't own any high end fondations execpt Estee Lauder's Double Wear which I don't really like at all. I own so many drugstore foundations though! Right now I love using Rimmel's Stay Matte foundation and I can't see myself seperating from that foundation for a long time. 

You go for an interview and the lady interviewing you has lipstick on her teeth.  Do you approach the subject or ignore it completely?
This is a hard question! I'm a really shy person so I'd feel really embarrased if I had to tell someone they had lipstick on their teeth... I'd probably stay quite!


You're not feeling yourself and you need a pick-me-up lipstick, which do you go for?
MAC Diva lipstick! 

You go back in time for a day to your teenage years, how would you do your hair or makeup differently?
Oh my god, I'd give myself a complete makeover! I plucked my eyebrows way too much so I barely had any eyebrows at all. I even used to cut my own hair... I cringe so bad looking back at old pictures. If I could go back I'd learn how to pluck my eyebrows properly and treat myself to more beauty products :)

You ask your hairdresser for for a shoulder length Pixie Lott hair cut but they hear wrong and give you a pixie cut, what do you do?
 
A) Smile, say thank you, call your mum and cry hysterically
B) Cry in the chair and things get awkward
C) Complain to the manager and demand a refund
 
A even though I'd be like B inside. I'm quite the drama queen when it comes to my hair, haha! 

Your friend surprises you with a 4 day city break and you have one hour to pack, which 'Do It All' palette do you pack in your makeup bag?
I love so many makeup palettes at the moment and my favourite is the Makeup Revolution palette flawless (it's the one pictured above!)
  
Your house has been robbed, don't worry everyone is safe, but your beauty stash has been raided.  What's the product you really hope is safe?
I'd really hope all of my MAC lipsticks were safe. 
 
 
Your friend borrows makeup and returns it in an awful condition.  Do you:
 
A) Pretend you haven't noticed
B) Ask them to re-purchase it
C) Secretly do it back to their makeup
 
Well they woudn't really be a good friend if the didn't take much care of your things but I'd probably pretend I hadn't noticed :) 
 
Thank you for reading and we nominate everybody that wants to join in! x

The Christmas Tag!

This is my first Christmas in the blogging world and I'd thought I'd join in with the Christmas tag! Also, thank you to Carolyn (x) for tagging us!

1. What is your favourite Christmas Movie/s? 
I usually watch the Christmas movies that are on t.v but I love watching Home Alone. I also love watching Bridget Jones and Harry Potter at this time of year. 

2. Do you open your presents on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning?
 Always Christmas morning. I always get up really, really early just to open my presents as I'm just so excited! I still feel like a little kid on Christmas morning!

3. Do you have a favourite Christmas memory?
There are so many! I think every Christmas new memories are made. Nothing beats Christmas when your little though. I think my favourite memories are from when I was young and when I still believed in Santa. Oh, and Christmas mornings were always the best too!

4. Favourite festive food?
Roast dinner! I love them sooo much. Mince pies, chocolate selction boxes, the chocolate tins and just eating until I feel sick! Haha. I never liked Christmas pudding though. I wish I did but I just never have!

5. Favourite Christmas gift?
I love getting new clothes to wear on Christmas day and I always love getting little bits of expensive make up at Christmas too. I really like it when my Mum and Dad surprise me with something I had no idea about too!

6. Favourite Christmas scent?
Well, ever since I got Versace perfumes for Christmas two years ago they have always reminded me of Christmas. I'm actually getting Crystal Noir by Versace this year.They all smell so rich and stay on all day too.

7. Do you have any Christmas Eve traditions?
Putting on a new pair of cosy pyjamas and slippers at night and just waiting for Christmas morning while watching all the festive programmes on T.V!

8. What tops your tree?
It used to be an Angel but now it's a sparkly silver star.

9. As a kid what was the one (crazy, wild, extravagant) gift you always asked for but never received?
Hmm. This is a tough one! Probably a toy called Baby Wee Wee (don't ask)! But I probably ask for more expensive presents now that I can't afford. Like right now I really want a new guitar! A girl can dream... :)

10. What's the best part about Christmas for you?
I absolutely love it when I first wake up and think ''oh my God! It's Christmas!'' but I love spending the day with my family and having a nice realxing time. I do also like going on a nice festive walk, all cosy in my hat and scarf and seeing all the Christmas lights at night.

I don't know about you but I'm feeling super festive right now! I can't wait for Christmas to come. I wish it would come quicker!

I tag anyone who would like to do these questions so if you would like to do this tag, please do! I'd love to see all your answers.

What's your favourite part of Christmas?
Love Leah and Rachel, x

The Autumn Tag!

This is the first tag that we've ever done on our blog thanks to the lovely Louise from As Seen On Louise. Her blog is absolutely amazing (you should definately check it out)! so it was a real treat when I found out that she had nominated us for The Autumn Tag! Autumn happens to be both of our favourite time of year so let's get started!

1. Coffee - What's your favourite seasonal drink from Starbucks or any other coffee shop?
Here is a confession that might shock people - I've never been to any fancy coffee shop like Starbucks or Costa so I've never had a seasonal coffee or any other seasonal drink! I know everyone seems to have been to Costa but I never have. I don't think I'd like the pumpkin spice lattes that everyone seems to like. You can't go wrong with a good old hot chocolate or cup of tea in the colder weather though, can you?

2. Accessories - What do you opt for, scarf, boots or gloves?
We are both obsessed with boots and chunky shoes. I've recently saw the most perfect pair of boots in River Island that I now need in my life. I hate it when I fall in love with something that I can't buy. The boots are £65! But I love scarf and gloves too. I love evrything about fashion in the colder months.

3. Music - What's your favourite music to listen to during Autumn?
I don't change my music taste, we are rock/metal gals for all year round. We are currently looking forward to seeing Slipknot and Korn in January! Oh my God, I'm so excited I can barely think about it without geting too excited!

4. Perfume - What's your favourite scent for this time of year?
Most of out perfumes smell quite suitable for Autumn/Winter as we're not big fans of the summer, fruity scents. I love wearing Versace perfumes as they are so rich and warm smelling.

5. Candles - What scents will you be burning this season? 
I don't really buy candles but I recently smelt the Yankee Christmas Cookie and I'd love to have it! So expensive though.

6. What do you love best about Autumn?
Everything! Fashion, HALLOWEEN, bonfire night, Christmas coming, the makeup, the leaves on the ground, the darker nights and keeping warm all day long.

7. Favourite make up look?
I always used to favour a bold berry lip but as I'm learning to do my makeup properly I've got obsessed with a dark, smokey eye shadow look that is blended really well with shimmery shades!

8. What are you looking forward to the most in the Autumn?
Counting down the days until Christmas and buying too many clothes in the meantime :)

There you go! and seeing as we are still quite new bloggers, we nominate everyone reading this to fill in their answers to the Autumn tag!

Leah and Rachel.
