TAG | Would You Rather Beauty Edition.

I was tagged my the loveliest Sophie to take part in this tag, I love a good old tag here and there so, here it is. Thank you for tagging me lovely.


1. Would you rather lose all your mascaras, eyeliners, lipsticks and lip glosses or lose all your palettes and eyeshadows? Tough, I absolutely love eyeliner and it's something I've always worn even before I got into adding eyeshadow on, lipgloss I never wear if i'm honest - I think I might say all my lipglosses or eyeshadows.

 

2. Would you rather chop off all your hair or never be able to cut it again?

Argh no, never could I chop it all off - I live for healthy, full hair. I'd definitely go with never being able to cut it again, that I could live with.

3. Would you rather have a coral cheek or a pink cheek?

oooh, depends. I find a Coral looks so beaut in the summer when you're rocking you're - cough, fake tan cough. And a Pink cheek can look beaut in the winter, I can't choose, but if I really had too, Coral.

4. If you had $1000 to spend, would you rather buy clothes or makeup?
Tough, I'd split it down the middle half for clothes and half for make up. I love both things waay to much to not spend that much money on just one item. I'm not that impulsive either so i'd probably struggle quite a lot to justify spending that much on clothes or make up, i'm awful with money - I never like to spend too much, argh.

5. Would you rather apply lipstick as an eyeliner or eyeliner as a lipstick?

Eyeliner as lipstick would really well I think, as it's similar to an lipliner! Lipstick as eyeliner would be really strange, I wear contacts and i'd never do that!

 

6. Would you rather only shop at MAC or Sephora?

No Sephora in the uk, sadly! I absolutely love MAC I don't have one where I live so when I go to Manchester and places like that - I save and take extra so I can go crazy!

 

7. Would you rather only use one eye-shadow colour or one lip colour for the rest of your life?

I'd go for the one eye shadow - i'm quite boring. I love my lipsticks and experiment with colours!

8. Would you rather wear Winter clothes in Summer or Summer clothes in Winter?

I'd have to keep things original and wear them when they're suppose to be worn!

 

9. Would you rather have dark nails or bright nails all year round?

Ohh I love my dark colours!

10. Would you rather give up your favourite eye product or your favourite lip product?
I'd give up my favourite eye product as I rotate my lips a lot

11. Would you rather only be able to wear your hair in a ponytail or a messy bun?
Messy bun, love a messy bun!

12. Would you rather never be able to paint your nails again or never use lip gloss?

Never wear lip gloss, as I hate it. - nails all the way!

 

13. Would you rather shave your eyebrows and have none at all or have to sharpie them in everyday?
Sharpie them, i'd never be able to shave them off and have nothing, I just couldn't do it i'd rather look ridiculous than have no eyebrows!

14. Would you rather live without makeup or nail polish?

I'm going to go for, no nail polish - job wise, I work around food anyway so I can't always wear and it sometimes I like how they look without polish. I love make up, and I do love experimenting with it - sometimes i'd go without that too though, so meh - perhaps both?

I hope you enjoyed reading up on my 'Would You Rather's - I tag anyone who wants to take part, you're all my favourite's xxxxxx  

Hello, Anyone in there?

Hello bloggery folks, how're you doing? mighty fine i hope. My my my, it's been some time hasn't it? i do owe somewhat of an apology or two, hides face away. I absolutely adore blogging and everything it has to offer, the community, having a natta - something i love to do, can't beat a ramble on here and i do enjoy writing about products i have been enjoying of late, however you'd argue i've not been around. That's true, i'm real sorry i'm going to be explaining myself don't you worry. 



Where have you been? 
Okay, so i explained in a previous post that i had started a new job, was looking into moving into a place with my boyfriend, going back to college - well these, (some) have been happening, i've been working like a mad women. The staffing has been ridic, thus causing me and the fellow girlies i work with to have to work loads, i have been working so so much even without a day off, yes i'm happy to earn but c'mon, it's nuts. So any earlier finish which is so rare have been spent snoozing in my ever so amazingly cosy bed. 

New staff have started, yay. I am still working a bit i won't lie, as i kinda like too. We have been looking into moving and it's in process so most of my money is going to be going on things like rugs, pans etc to buy it in before moving which could be month, or a few at the moment but i'd like to be prepared. College, hasn't unfortunately been even consider as of working so much so i'm going to be solving that! I can't wait to study again, now it's all sorting its self out, i'm going to getting back on to my bloggering ways. 



The weather also, it's been so nice - not an excuse but ima use it as one, tehe. I've been enjoying taking walks into town and grabbing some lunch and sitting outside a cafe with mother and boyfriend, and taking trips out and popping off to carboot sale - i find they're always a good one if the weather's lush. Perhaps, i'll blog about my recent finds and buys, i'm a right nosey so and so when it comes to what people have brought so perhaps you're the same? I'm sorry for the mia. But i hope you understand that i have just been so super duper busy with just everything, life has been in the fast lane, it's been manic. 


Again, i hope you're all well, look out for future posts, they'll be back.

Product Review | MAC Impassioned Lipstick

MAC - Impassioned Lipstick £15.00 Link Here

I haven't always been the biggest fan of lip products, i don't like lip tints, rarely use crayons etc of sort, i have never liked a lip gloss but one thing i know to have always been true is the love i have for a lipstick or two. I use to play it safe and wear a neutral lip or a nude lip. I guess i was scared of looking like a clown or feeling like i'd apply too much. However, i absolutely love wearing a bright lip, vampy lips and red lips so much as of late and seeing as i was near a MAC counter it was only right to pick up a couple of their lipsticks, i did also pick up ' Girl About Town' (review to come later) I haven't been using anything other than this, no lipstick has come close, it's always near me or in my bag and make up bag. 

At £15.00 a piece, they aren't cheap. But in this case, you get what you pay for is a motto that would be used. When applying i found this to apply so creamy, it's an amplified finish so i'm thinking that means vibrant, bright etc - i'm not even gonna start trying to understand all of the different finishes of lipsticks they do, i'm sure i'll cock up gah. It's creamy, incredibly pigmented - so i dab a bit on and use my fingers to apply the rest as you don't need much. They smell incredible, which i've never found in any other lipstick and they taste nice. It's not chalky, or sticky which i HATE in lipsticks, hence why i don't like lipgloss i cannot stand stickiness. It's a beaut, you need to pick it up. It's super pretty and very bright, right up my street. 

I can't help wanting more, infact i do want to build on my collection. I have a list forming of the MAC lipsticks yet to get, eeep. But if you've any recommendations send them my way! 

                               Have you tried this lipstick - do you love it as much as me? 

About Aimzy

Hiddely - ho folks - Where's the sun? I'm absolutely freezing. I wanted to inject a lifestyle post into my blog - i also, figured it's about time i'd give you some insight into me - so here you go, please enjoy i'd um, grab yourself a cuppa though. 

Photo taken from my face-book. - Pink haired, mermaid wannabe wouldn't you say?

Basics: 
I'm Amy, or Aimzy if you wish. 'Ahmy' is how my boyfriend calls me, it's cute. I'm 22 for now, i say for now as i have a Birthday coming up very soon, it's quite scary to be honest, getting older. I'm an Aries and i'd say that is most definitely true - I'm very energetic, although i can be quite the tired person. I don't like to wait for things to happen, i like to move on with it - get the job done which is exactly me to a t! Aries is me all over. 


I'm from the hobbit-wobitty parts - love this. The 'shire' I'm not going to obviously go into where for personal safety reasons. I have quite a big family, not that i speak to every single one of them nor are we exactly close which i think is rather sad, if i'm honest. I have two brothers, younger and older. I was quite the 'tom boy' when i was younger and enjoyed the same things as them - however, i know exactly where my hate for bugs came from as my older brother kindly, poured a bucket of assorted bugs over me once, i cried, so much. 


I'm very laid back, wear my heart on my sleeve. I'm friendly and i upset easily. I over think and worry like no bodies business - I'm sure this comes with the years of anxiety / panic attacks. I love big and also hurt big, i've had to overcome many a thing in my years of being on this earth. 



Hopes & Dreams:  
I didn't have a single clue into what i wanted in school, where i wanted to go in life or who i wanted to be. I knew the subjects i loved were what i wanted to pursue a career in though, at that time of your life you don't always have it together, you know? I loved school, however i was bullied every single day of my life throughout it - its was awful. I had very little friends, very little people to talk too. It got to the point where we ( mum and i) had spoken to every teacher to try to compact it but unfortunately nothing ever worked, it wasn't nice and i became scared, withdrawn etc to be there and from this time of my life. 

It wasn't until later on in life, when i hit my twenties funnily enough. I discovered what interests me, where i'd like to see my life going - I'm very much into my beauty, make up - so i've chosen to pursue this - applied for a course in September which i'm rather excited about. I also, really love the 'care' sector. I love children, so much and old people which again is something i'm considering. I'm very good at Art but as much as i'd love to pursue that - career wise, isn't as promising as the other choices.  


I left school, to work - i got jobs, i have had a few before discovering and finding myself - If i had any advice for someone to just leaving school it would be: Don't sweat it, if you've got it together - great. You need to grow into yourself, find yourself and discover yourself. Don't rush, you've plenty of time. I've learnt a tone about who i am, what i believe in, what i stand for - I don't have regrets for not going onto this earlier on in life, because i'd not be who i am now - I think as long as you know where you're going, have the opportunity to the determination then it's ok, i don't need to sweat it. 


Of course, i want the typical girl fantasy - well i say this, but it might not be everyone's cup of tea. I'm in a wonderful relationship - i have been for three years. I'm not saying now, but i'd like to be married and have a child one day when i feel once i've completed my journey, goals and aspirations then sure. Right now, I'm happy being in love and enjoying the exiting path of us looking to live together and renting our first property together, I'm honestly very very excited. 

I also really, desperately want to travel so badly. i'd like to visit: America, Venice, Rome & Greece. 



Favourites: 
My favourite colour is green & I'm a huge lover Nutella on my crumpets or toast. I despise coffee but i love my cups of tea - mugs if you're at my parents, yeck. I don't like energy drinks, i think they're vile. Nando's in my favourite place to eat out at, ever, ever, ever. I love bubble baths so much, i could easily run up a water bill in a week - lush, is also one of my favourite places to shop. I love make up, shoes & handbags - like any other, eh? My favourite films are, Harry potter, The Hobbit, Lord Of The Rings, Disney ones - i love wreck it ralph so much right now. Soap & Glory is my favourite thing to bath in & wash in. I love a car boot sale, jumble sale or a good mooch about in a shop - I get this from my mother, haha. I  love Christmas but love the spook behind Halloween. Carl, as he's not only my boyfriend but my best friend also, he makes me happiest & 


Dislikes: 
I hate any form of confrontation as i'm easily hurt or easily upset. Panic attacks, Being cold - which is me all over, either cold feetys or hands. The dark, child eh? no i'm easily spooked out haha! I hate some of the ignorance people have with mental illness or the 'judging' process you're faced with, we're all the same, equal. Bugs, haha i hate bees, spiders and waps the most! I hate the transition from summer to winter as mentioned earlier, i'm cold all the time - so i hate that, muchly. Winter isn't my favourite either haha 


So, that's me - I think it's quite nice to know more about the person behind the screen - thank you for sticking this far, enjoy your tea? 

Someday Summary - Wednesday.

Hello ladies. Firstly, I just wanted to sit and have a chit chat. As much as i love beauty posts etc i do also love to just chit chat with a post like this, i do hope this is okie on your feeds? I like the idea of it muchly.

♥

It's my birthday in 31 days, eeep. I'm somewhat nervous about this one though as i'm turning twenty three. Now, i get comments, id and everything no-one believes i'm in my twenties. Which is lovely, i forget i am sometimes but i'm quite sad about it really, older and wiser - now if you knew me in the flesh you'd see i'm a big kid at heart i like cookies, disney films, milkshakes, chocolate spread on my crumpets, i'm very scared of the dark haha. it's only really sinking in that i'm getting older really if i'm honest. I don't feel particularly old or anything but yeah, it's just sinking in that i'm getting older it's quite scary. 

                                                                                 

♥

I've turned in this worrier. That's what i'm personally naming myself, 'worry-bag' It's stupid and i run myself down so brimming easy, i upset easy and if something upsets me, it'll stay with me throughout the day. I over think and scare easy and lately although i have had nothing to worry about, there's been situations where i have over thinked and i've now told myself enough is enough, worry-bag is no-more ha.

The sun being out and showing his face is making me so happy and excited for dresses and warm walks with my better half. I love it being out as i find it changes my mood instantly and puts smile on my face. I'm thinking if it's nice this weekend or next i'm whipping out a maxi dress, i'd say flip-flops but i don't own any yet, primark trip in order.. Too early? Ha 


                                                                                 

♥

My boyfriend is a super duper babe. He's really lovely and deserves the biggest mention - He's been very supportive and is like my best friend really. I don't know how i'd cope without him, it's cheesy i know but hey, he deserves a mention, super babe. It's lovely to find someone you're so comfortable around and still be happy even stuffing 6 chips in your mouth and they still wanna snuggle with you. 


                                                                                 

♥

Also, i'd just like to say a little.. Well it's a massive one - Thank you. To everyone who reads and takes a peek at my blog, i appreciate every single follow or comment i receive. I find it so astonishing if i'm honest, i must be as dull as dishwater haha but no, it's lovely. I'm so over the moon with nearly 40 followers, to some they'd say don't be silly but even just 10 makes my day. Thank you ladies, you're awesome. 'Blushes'

Product Review | Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette.

Oh hello loverrrrrlies. Now, i knowwwwww how late i am on the bandwagon with this - slaps wrist. Infact that bandwagon hoped into a box and sailed away on a blimming boat, that's how late i am ha. It's the one of the most talked about beauty items i've seen and now there's three of them, blimming eck urban decay, you didn't waste any time did you. Right, get your self a tea ladies as it's a long one. 


I have always been a fan of urban decays palettes i have the NYC Book Of Shadows which i love whipping out for a night out  and my mum got it for a Christmas, i was very impressed - well done mum! The colours are so fab. It's a palette that's always inspired me to create a you tube and use it to create tutorials. I also have a shimmery silver one with a skull on it, again from my mum, she's pretty fab. As well as lusting over the Naked Collection i have wanted the Smoked Palette too. It's the price factor, i'm always thinking it's too expensive and i'm terrible when it comes to things like this as i don't ever buy myself anything, i'm a nightmare. 




But whilst i was in Manchester i did really hope to find a Urban Decay stand somewhere, i did look online and it wasn't very helpful that'll be down to me more than the interwebs. I knew whilst i had monies and my intention was to buy make up, like Mac that i couldn't really get my hands on or wouldn't normally buy - lets say haha 
however, i had a funny feeling whilst i was out with my boyfriend Carl, after buying me some uggs yay, i now own uggs. Buy. Some. - They're so warm and they haven't left my feet, right sorry. We went in and woolah there was a Urban Decay counter, i literally yanked Carl, the poor thing. Now i'm not going to lie, they're all so beautiful and have loaaads to offer but  i think it boils down to what colours and finishes you're looking for. I knew i either wanted the first one or the second as the third didn't really appeal that much, however when looking at it, it did look pretty amazing and i could see why it's being loved, the pinky toned eye-shadow are so nice and yes, i did want to play with it then and there, i didn't swatch toooo much as i thought Carl, being there was so super duper sweet and he's a boy, come on ladies we know what they're like when it comes to shopping but he was so lovely, giving it the ' they'd look nice or this would look nice, i like the colours in here' bless him, such a babe i was very impressed! Ramble, done. 


Anyway, i think what put me off for a long-time is the shimmery shades. Until invested, i say invested they're cheap as chips - The MUA (make up academy) Palettes as they do a dupe for Urban Decay 2. I came to love them more, i've always been a matte lover! i like mixing the two up though, i opted for this as i do love to smoke up my everyday eye-shadow looks, being a big eye-shadow lover it was a must to eventually own one of these, my other palettes have seen better days as they're pretty battered! It's more taupe than the other two palettes i think that's why i stirred more to it, i do like this mix in here. There's everything from highlight shades to all over lid shades and crease and something to darken up the crease! It's become my everyday thing as i caaaaaaant put it down and like most, i'm sure. I absolutely loove it and highly recommend you all buy, soon - you probably do own this haha i'm just late. The packaging doesn't really thase me to be honest i didn't really buy it for that purpose, i just knew i'd use it to death and that for me was worth the money. 

 The palette contains 12 eye-shadows, 3 of which of matte and the rest are shimmers. Now, i don't know about you but 12 eye-shadows for £37. Isn't half bad. 

Shadows from left to right - Foxy, Half Baked, Booty Call, Chopper, Tease, Snake Bite, Suspect, Pistol & Verve. 

Shadows from left to right - Verve, YDK, Busted & Blackout. 



Overall all, the palette its self is a loverrrly little addition to have in my collection, i'm very happy i brought it and i haven't put it down since buying - that's a whole lotta love right there. I'm currently loving, foxy all over the lid which is one of the matte shades, Foxy - shimmer. In the inner corners to brighten and under my brow bone as a highlight. Half baked which is my absolute fave out of all of the shadows on my lid inner part. Chopper on the outer part and Ydk in the crease with a little bit of Busted to darken up. I'm looking into maybe trying The 3rd palette that's out there, but not just yet. If you're looking for a daytime, nighttime palette that is completely versatile then pick this up, it's been totally worth it in my eyes! <3 





        Have you used this? Or used any of the Naked Palettes - What do you think of them? 



I'd just like to also say, i'm at 36 followers. To some that won't be a lot, but to me it means the absolute world i'm so thankful to all who read or even look at my blog, I'd not be doing this if it wasn't for all the support shared, you're lovely and the response as been incredible! Thank you, all of you. xxxxxxxx
