It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

Christmas

Hello there my beautiful, today I thought I’d continue the festivities and share with you a quick little Christmas Q&A tag! Lets get into it shall we? I hope you have your favourite festive tunes belting out whilst reading this, why not grab a yummy seasonal snack while you’re at it? I’m chomping down on a candy cane.

1. What is your favourite Christmas Movie/s?: The Disney movie Anastasia.. I absolutely adore it, it’s a purely enchanting film! The Nightmare Before Christmas – for sure… I’ve been singing ‘This is Halloween’ on repeat since it were actually Halloween! Got to add in Love Actually, haven’t I? It’s a classic! As is good old Bridget Jones!

2. Do you open your presents on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning?: Christmas morning, as soon as my Mom and I have a cup of tea at the ready!

3. Do you have a favourite Christmas memory?: When I were younger my cousin Sam used to come over to my house on Christmas day, he’d bring over some of his toys and we’d spend the day playing and sharing our gifts with one another. He’d also do the same thing on my Birthday which is two days later. Sam and I didn’t always get on so great as children, so I cherish those fond memories.

4. Favourite festive food: I love snacking and the Christmas period always has such an incredible selection of party style snacks – that’s honestly probably my favourite part, alongside pigs in blankets! Oooo and stuffing, I adore stuffing!

5. Favourite Christmas gift: This is actually impossible to answer! A particular gift that has stuck out for me throughout the years though has to be my beautiful little grey Furby I used to own. When I moved home almost five years ago I decided to not bring him along because we were massively down sizing, I regret this decision all the time.. Although he were the grubbiest little guy ever by that point I sure did love him. No Furby will ever have anything on that kid!

6. Favourite Christmas scent: I wouldn’t say I have one, unless we’re going to count the mouthwatering aroma of food cooking?

7. Do you have any Christmas Eve traditions?: If I’m not working then it tends to be the gift giving evening with my friends. For the past couple of years I’ve gone to the pub for a few drinks with my friend Aimee. This year Riley (and probably Aimee) will be visiting my home and having a few drinks and a gaming session on the PlayStation 1!

8. What tops your tree?: A fairy princess wand, pictured below!

9. As a kid what was the one (crazy, wild, extravagant) gift you always asked for but never received?: There were nothing I ever asked for of which were particularly crazy and I typically got the things I’d ask for. I were always a very humble child, I were grateful of any gifts I got. I probably joked a few times that I’d like a million pound recording contract maybe!

10. What’s the best part about Christmas for you?: Spending quality time with my Mom and pets, away from the rest of the world, wrapped up in our pjs and pigging out on everything possible. I love knowing I don’t have work to go to and typically that I’ve got the following week booked off due to my birthday, which then opens the door to getting dolled up and going out to celebrate with my closest friends whilst being the centre of attention. What’s not to love?

Hopefully this post has helped get you into the spirit of Christmas if you weren’t already. I’d love to read your own answers, you can either contact me via any of my social media or publish your own Christmas tag post on your blog, don’t forget to leave me a link afterwards!

With Love,
Disaster Davis x

Would You Rather – Cosmetics Tag

Cosmetics

Yes, I’m here again with another cosmetics tag, what can I say, I enjoy them! I were having a peek through El’s blog (ElButlerxox) and came across this little joy which I thought would be fun to do. Whilst on the subject of the lovely El, I recently did a Blogger Interview with her to celebrate the first year of her blogging. This were posted on Friday, along with the answers from some other lovely ladies, and you can view that here!

1 Year Of Blogging: Blogger Interview

1. Would you rather lose all of your mascaras, eyeliners, lipsticks, and lip glosses or lose all of your palettes and eye shadows? As much as I ADORE my eyeshadow palettes, I’m going to have to say I’d rather lose those. I literally can’t finish my make-up without my eyeliner and mascara – lipsticks I’m borderline obsessed with. No contest.

2. Would you rather chop all your hair off or never cut it again? I’d like to say never cut it again – because I’ve been growing it for so long and at least I’d then always have my long hair. Then I think of the split ends I’d be forced to live with. I’ve had an inverted bob before and a pixie cut at another time.. I’d have to live with short hair for a while. I’d only have to do it the once, right?

3. Would you rather have a coral cheek or a pink cheek? Probably coral, which seems strange considering I use a pink blush. It works well with my contour though.. If I didn’t contour I’d definitely go for a coral blush, I feel the colour would work better with my skin tone also some pinks can run the risk of giving a person what I call the slapped face syndrome. It’s not the best look.

4. If you had £1000 to spend would you rather buy clothes or make-up? Make-up, every time. I’m obsessed with clothing too – but I go through a lot of moments where I want to lose weight and beat myself up for my size (despite there being nothing wrong on a whole with my size, it’s all down to personal preference), however make-up I’m always in love with.

5. Would you rather apply lipstick as eyeliner or eyeliner as lipstick? Eyeliner as lipstick, having a lip product on my eyelid or water line would feel way too sticky and gungy, yuck.

6. Would you rather shop at MAC or Sephora? I wear MAC foundation, whereas I’ve yet to have shopped at Sephora. I’ve browsed online though and have to say I’m liking the look of a lot of things there. For now my loyalties lay with MAC, though there’s nothing saying I couldn’t be converted!

7. Would you rather only use one eye shadow colour or one lip colour for the rest of your life? This is some sick joke of a question, it has to be – right? I must often use around 5 to 6 colours on my eyes at any given time! I’ll have to go with using the same eyeshadow though I guess, as I could just choose to not wear any and instead opt for winged liner. I adore playing around with colour on my lips.

8. Would you rather wear winter clothes in summer or summer clothes in winter? Summer clothes in winter.. There’s always the option to add layers after all, or keep moving around. If I get too warm in the summer it makes me far too cranky, can’t be having that. A sweater in summer is my idea of hell!

9. Would you rather have dark nails or light nails all year round? Hard one! Although I’d probably opt for light nails as I could choose something to match with most outfits.

10. Would you rather give up your favourite lip colour or favourite eye product? As much as I love my lipsticks, I’d have to give up the favourite lip colour. No way ever would I be able to give up my mascara or liners!

11. Would you rather only be able to wear your hair in a ponytail or a messy bun? Messy bun for sure, I feel like my hair doesn’t look right in a ponytail any more and a messy bun is more versatile, it goes so nicely with a range of different looks.

12. Would you rather never be able to paint your nails again or never use lip gloss? Never use gloss, I’m more of a lipstick kinda lady anyway. I’ve found most glosses can feel really sticky and are to me, off putting.

13. Would you rather shave your eyebrows off and have none or fill them in with a black sharpie pen everyday? Fill them in with the sharpie! There’s nothing saying I can’t do the tiniest little strokes furthermore I could choose to not fill them in at all! It would be so strange to have no eyebrows!

14. Would you rather live without make-up or nail polish? Without nail polish, I can’t wear polish at work anyway – so I’m pretty used to it.

I hope you’ve all enjoyed this tag and please feel free to use this for your own posts, I’d love to see your answers so don’t forget to leave me the link to your own post if you do use this. Be sure to check out El’s blog too and the Blogger Interview I did with her. I’m so grateful that she chose to involve me and the other ladies, give them all plenty of loving!

With Love,

10 Most Worn Cosmetics Tag

Angelica Cosmetics

So I’ve been delving through the archives of many a beauty blogger and recently re-stumbled upon a cosmetics tag from the lovely Louise – Sprinkle Of Glitter! To some, a tag may seem like an easy way out of a ‘proper’ blog post, however many can be both enjoyable and informative and I feel this short but sweet piece also doubles up as a pretty nifty review of sorts taking into consideration these are my ‘most used’ cosmetic items of choice. Without further ado, lets commence!

1. Most worn lipstick/lipgloss: Probably MAC – Viva Glam due to it’s sufficient longevity. The shade of choice is purely down to it being both my only MAC lipstick currently and my adoration of a red lip! I am anticipating some additions to my lipstick collection however as it’s very lacking.

2. Most worn eyeliner: I always wear two, Rimmel London Kohl Liner – Pure White 071 and P.S, Love Kohl Liner – Black, although if I had to choose only one for some inane reason then it would be the Rimmel and I’d instead settle for using some shadow below my bottom waterline.

3. Most worn mascara: P.S, Love Volumising Ultra Black Mascara

4. Most worn eye-shadow: My Make-Up Revolution London Ultimate Eye-shadow Collection palette steals the show here, I adore it and almost always opt for a combination of shades from this. Choosing one however it has to be the shimmery white, of which I’ve zoomed in on below, as I use this in the corners of my water line and to highlight my brow bone.

5. Most worn concealer: I’ve recently changed the concealer I use and now can’t get enough of it, this is the P.S, Love Liquid Concealer in Ivory.

6. Most worn foundation: MAC Studio Fix Fluid in the shade NW13. I have been using this for so long, although on ‘good skin days’ I’ll opt for a BB creme instead if I aren’t going to any events of great excitement or importance. I need a new ‘winter’ foundation as this doesn’t work particularly well for me as the seasons change, drying out my skin and creating flakes. Any recommendations you have for combination skin do feel free to share.

7. Most worn (finishing) powder: Collection 2000 – Candelight 01, although I am currently using a George substitute in the shade nude 02, which works just as well.

8. Most worn blush: Virgin Cosmetics blush and bronzer palette, I got this from my niece and it has lasted me for literally years it has such an incredible amount of product and is well pigmented. One of the blusher pans I have almost completely used up but pictured below is the combination I currently use. This would be a different answer however if I still owned my Bourjois – 85 Sienne which sadly got lost in a club. I loved that little buddy of mine!

9. Most worn bronzer: Primark’s Sunkissed eyeshadow and bronzer palette – there is only one bronzer in this and I love it, I do often double up by using the Virgin Cosmetics blush and bronzer palette (pictured above) for particular areas however.

10. Most worn nail polish: I literally can’t provide a solid answer to this as I don’t consistently use only one or even a limited few polishes. I have so many to choose from and like to have a versatile rotation with this type of product, I will say though that if I were to pick a favourite it would likely be my glittery little number by Angelica in the shade Asteroid.

I surmise that you have all enjoyed this post and that it’s potentially provided inspiration to try something you maybe haven’t yet from this list. Have you used any of these products previously, if so what are your conclusions? As ever it would be a pure delight to hear from you.

With Love,

The Procrastinating Beauty Blogger Tag

Beauty

On Tuesday I said I’d be posting twice today due to Monday’s blog post being late, so here is the second post for today and I thought I’d do a tag which incorporates learning a little more about myself whilst still on the subject of beauty! I found this at: http://themakeuphoneyblog.com/

1. Name a beauty regimen that you rarely do? There’s probably a whole list I could give you all here, I’m so useless at being a woman which I know kind of defies the fact that this is largely, a beauty blog. I like to make the least sense as is possible you see. Like the lovely ladies at The Makeup Honey however, body lotion is definitely something that I NEVER do, I feel it’s time consuming when I seem to always be in a rush, I hate anything sticky too, yuck.

2. Is washing your make-up brushes something that you do regularly? Ah, um…. Tehehe, oops. No, it isn’t. I know, it really should be – I’m naughty. If I’m going out somewhere I spend the time getting ready then by the time I’ve got home I’ve forgotten completely about the fact that my brushes need cleaning, this happens in a never ending repeat cycle.

3. How long will you last with chipped nail polish? Finally something beauty related where I behave myself! If I’ve used a base and top coat then my polish lasts for ages anyway and the job I’m currently doesn’t allow me to wear polish whilst at work, therefore my polish is taken off long before it even has time to chip!

4. How long will you put off buying/replacing a beauty product, even if you need it? It depends on the product, I’ve gone for over half a year in the past without eyeliner and probably only a little less than that without mascara. When my MAC foundation runs out then I’ll use another foundation until I can be bothered to replace it, depending on the quality of the foundation I find will depend on how quickly I stock up on my MAC! I’ve probably gone around a month before without buying a new one, it’s usually around a week though! It would probably be no longer than a week for everything else these days too, I didn’t used to be quite as enthusiastic about make-up as what I am now!

5. What is your worst beauty habit? Forgetting to take my make-up off after a big night out and sleeping with it still on! I HATE doing this so much so I really do try to limit it and don’t do this very often at all.

6. Name something non-beauty related that you put off doing all the time? Getting out of bed, if I have work I’ll use the snooze button for as long as I can, and when it’s a day off I’ll stay in bed until I get so annoyed with myself that I’m a mardy swine for at least the first hour.

7. When going out somewhere, do you leave getting ready to the last minute? Only every single time! It’s not that I want to, I’m just easily distracted by everything possible and only notice about ten minutes before being due somewhere that I’m still in my PJs with a bare face and messed up hair!

8. Can you commit to spending bans? How dare you speak of such sacrilege on my blog! The thought is purely appalling. I admit I do try put myself on them, it usually lasts all of two seconds at the most!

9. How organized are your make-up and nail polish collections? Not at all, the only organised thing about my entire existence is that I write lists for absolutely everything imaginable, the trouble is that I then lose said lists. Everything else is always an all encompassing chaos of dire proportions!

I tag literally all of you reading this post to do this for yourselves! Leave a link in the comments section when you’ve completed your own answers so that I can have a nosy around and check out your blog in the process! If you don’t have a blog then don’t despair, you can still leave me your answers below anyway or as always, contact me on any of my social media links at the side!

With Love,
Disaster Davis x
