Hey, so today I thought I would do the 'Holly Jolly Holiday Tag!' part 1 and 2. Last Christmas part 1 was made and became really popular and this year the same 2 you tubers ('beautybaby44' http://www.youtube.com/user/beautybaby44?feature=results_main and 'strawberryelectric48' http://www.youtube.com/user/strawberryelectric48/featured), who made part one, made part 2. As I did not have a blog this time last year, I am going to do part 1 and 2 at the same time. I know its 31 days till Christmas but today I am feeling really Christmassy and could not wait any longer to do this tag. I know I have done lots of tags and I will try and do more beauty posts but tags are my favourite things to do. Anyway, I will try to change it and I do have a series that I am planning. Also, I was thinking of doing like a '12 Days of Christmas' thing nearer Christmas. I was thinking of doing it from the 13th-24th of December and then after Christmas doing like a 'What I Got For Christmas' post. Please leave a comment down below if you would like to see that. Right, lets get crack-a-lacking.
Holly Jolly Holiday Tag-Part 1:
1. Whats Your Favourite Christmas Movie? I have 2 favourite Christmas movies. My 1st favourite
Christmas movie is Elf. Its funny and charming and fills me with Christmas cheer every time I watch it.
My 2nd favourite Christmas movie is 'How The Grinch Stole Christmas' (some people just
call it 'The Grinch'). Its cute and makes me feel all warm inside every time I watch it.
2. Are You On The Naughty Or Nice List? I am obviously on the Nice List.
3. Do You Have An Embarrassing Christmas Photo? If You Do Show Us It. I actually don't have any
Christmassy photos, well at least I think I don't.
4.Have You Ever Had A White Christmas? I have had a Christmas where it snowed for like 10 minutes but
it was not really snow it was more like slushy water. So no I have never had a White Christmas.
5.Where Do You Usually Spend Christmas? I always spend Christmas at my house. We never go and vistit
anyone on Christmas and we never do anything either.
6.Whats Your Favourite Christmas Song? My favourite Christmas song is actually kind of a sad,
slow, depressing Christmas song but I love it anyway. My favourite Christmas song is 'Fairytale of New
York by The Pogues'.
7.Do You Open Any Presents On Christmas Eve? No, we open all our presents on Christmas day.
8.Can You Name All Of Santa's Reindeer? I think so. There is Dasher, Dancer, Prancer,
Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitson and Rudolf, Right?
9.What Christmas Tradition Are You Most Looking Forward To This Year? I am looking forward to baking
with my mum and little brother. I am also looking forward to watching snuggling up on boxing day, while
my dad and brother are out, watching movies with my mum and little brother like we do every year.
10.Is Your Christmas Tree Real Or Fake? Ours is Fake.
11.Hands Down, Whats Your Favourite Christmas Food And Sweet Treat? My favourite Christmas food is
stuffing. In our house, we don't put stuffing in the turkey because I am a vegetarian but I do love stuffing
We have 'Stage and Onion' stuffing and, my gosh, it is good. My favourite sweet treat are the big tins of
'Quality Street' you get in the UK around Christmas time. We get like 3 tins a year because we are a big
family and one of the tins is always 'Quality Street' because they are my favourite.
12.Be Honest, Do You Like Giving Or Receiving Gifts? Honestly, I do love receiving gifts but not as much
at this time of year. On my birthday I prefer to receive gifts, at Christmas time I prefer to give gifts. I think
there is something magical about watching someone open a gift that you spent so much time and effort
picking.
13.Do You Have Any Christmas Wear? No, I don't but I do want a Christmas jumper so badly.
14.What Is Your Dream Place To Visit Around Christmas Time? My dream place to visit around Christmas
time would be, hands down, New York City. I love the USA and want to live there one day and New
York looks so magical and beautiful around Christmas time. I will go there around Christmas time one
day.
15.Does Your Family Have A Special Holiday Recipe You Like To Help Make? No, not really but I do
love baking with my family around Christmas time.
16.Are You A Pro-Present Wrapper Or Do You Fail Miserably? I don't like to admit it but I fail miserably
when it comes to wrapping presents.
17.Whats Your Most Memorable Holiday Moment? I don't have one moment but I do have one thing I
remember each year and its playing/looking at presents in the living room before Christmas dinner with
Christmas music blasting from the CD player in the dinning room. For some reason I remember this
memory from pretty much every year since I was like 6/7.
18.What Made You Realise The Truth About Santa? I think a friend told me when I was like 7/8. I don't
really remember.
19.Do You Make New Years Resolutions? Do You Stick To Them? I make them but I hardly ever stick to
them
20.What Makes Christmas Special For You? Being around people who love me make it special for me.
Also, all the magical and warm feelings/things make Christmas special for me.
Holly Jolly Holiday Tag-Part 2:
1.Do You Start Your Christmas Shopping Early Or Leave It Till The Last Minute? I do a bit of both. I start
like late November/early December kind of time but I still always seem to find my self running around
grabbing last minute gifts.
2.If You Could Be In Any Christmas Movie, What Christmas Movie Would You Be In? I would be in Elf
100%. Elf is just such a fun movie and as soon as I am done with this tag I am painting my nails and
watching Elf.
3.Which Do You Like Better: Christmas Eve Or Christmas Day? To me Christmas Day is better. I don't
really do anything on Christmas Eve. We bake, watch movies and go to bed early. That's it. I like
Christmas Eve because its exciting knowing Christmas Day is the next day. But I prefer Christmas Day.
Its Christmas Day, I mean, come on.
4.When Does Your Family Put Up Their Christmas Tree And Who Decorates It? We put our Christmas
tree up the first weekend in December, we always have done. We decorate it as a family but my older
brother tends not to help.
5.White Lights Or Coloured Lights? We have Coloured Lights but I prefer White Lights.
6.Are You Guilty Of Peeking At Your Presents Or Do You Like The Surprise? I am really, really guilty of
peeking at my presents. I have been better at not peeking this year than I have have been in the previous
2/3 years but I have peeked a little this year. I am not really good with surprises.
7.Would You Rather Live In A Gingerbread House Or Santa's Workshop? There is no competition here,
Santa's Workshop all the way.
8.Tell Us Your Christmas Eve Traditions! As a family we don't have many Christmas Eve traditions. We
bake on Christmas Eve and watch a Christmas movie or two but that is about it really.
9.If You Could Be Under The Mistletoe With Anyone Who Would It Be? It would have to be the actor
who plays Toby in Pretty Little Liars. I don't know the actors name but it would be him all the way.
10.What Tops Your Tree? A gold star tops our tree.
11.Can You Name The 12 Days Of Christmas? I can try to. 12 drummers drumming, 11 pipers piping,
10........, 9 ladies dancing, 8..... milking, 7........, 6 geese a-laying, 5 GOLD RINGS, 4 calling birds, 3
french hens, 2 turtle-doves and a partridge in a pear tree. I think I did pretty well there. I got 9 and a half
out of 12. That is pretty good right?
12.Have You Ever Been Christmas Caroling? Yes, I have been once when I was like 11/12.
13.Do You Count Down To Christmas? If So How Many Days Are Left? Yes I do and there are 31 days
left.
14.What Are Some Christmas Foods And Treats You Can Count On Having Every Christmas? I can count
on having cheese and crackers, apple sauce, homemade jam tarts, things like that really.
15. How Has Christmas Kept Its Magic For You As You Have Grown Older? It has kept its magic by
making everyone happy, bringing families closer together and bringing out the best in people. I think
everyone is the nicest around Christmas time.
So, there you have it. Both of the 'Holly Jolly Holiday Tags' in one post. If you enjoyed this post and/or want to see more Christmas posts please follow this blog. I hope you had as much fun reading it as I did writing it and I will speak to you all very soon.

My Make-Up Collection #2 - Blushers, Bronzers And Highlights
Hey, so today I thought I would do part 2 of my 'Make-Up Collection'. If you have not seen the first part I will attempted to link it here: http://thelancashirebeauty.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/my-make-up-collection-1-concealer.html.
So, my part 2 is my blushers, bronzers and highlights.To some people this might be a lot of make-up and to some it might be a tiny amount of make-up but the amount I do have is fine for me at the moment. I do want to extend my collection in the future. Just before I get started, I just want to say that all my make-up has either been given to me as a present or I have bought it myself with my own money. So lets get crack-a-lacking.
So, my part 2 is my blushers, bronzers and highlights.To some people this might be a lot of make-up and to some it might be a tiny amount of make-up but the amount I do have is fine for me at the moment. I do want to extend my collection in the future. Just before I get started, I just want to say that all my make-up has either been given to me as a present or I have bought it myself with my own money. So lets get crack-a-lacking.
Blushers:
I have 3 blushers. I am not a big blusher fan and, most of the time, I wear the same blusher. The first blusher I own is the 'Rimmel London Lasting Finish Blusher in 021 Summer Fever'. It has 3 strips of different blushers. The 1st is a baby/barbie pink colour, the 2nd is a brown bronzer colour and the 3rd is a berry red colour. All together you can get 7 different blushers out of this blush. The next blusher I own is the 'Evie Glam Blusher in Coral Pink'. This is a really pigmented, bright, coral pink blush. The last blusher I own is the blusher I wear the most often and its the 'NYC Cheek Glow Blusher in 655 Central Park Pink'. This is a really lovely peachy pink blush. These 3 blushers are enough for me at the moment but, over time, I do want to extend my blush collection massively.
Sorry about the lopsided pictures.
Bronzers:
I only own one bronzer and thats the 'W7 Boxed Honolulu Bronzer'. I find it really hard to pull off bronzer because I am seriously pale but, with a light hand, this bronzer can look really nice in the summer. In the winter it looks silly on me but in the summer it makes me look lovely and bronzed. This bronzer is a light brown matte bronzer and I definitely recommend it.
Highlights:
I don't really wear highlight but I do own 2 liquid/cream highlighters. The first one is 'Benefits High Beam Highlight'. I got this highlighter free in a Glamour magazine a while ago and its just a pink liquid/cream highlighter. Its really pretty and looks lovely on. The next one is a random Rimmel London bronze highlighter which I de-potted and I can't remember the name of. I don't wear this but it nice to have in case I ever decided to wear it.
So, that is the end of the second part of my make-up collection. I do have about 5/6 more posts on my make-up collection before I have covered it all so keep an eye out for them in the future. If you enjoyed this post please follow this blog. I hope you enjoyed this post as much as I enjoyed writing it and I will talk to you all next time.

This Or That Tag With Lucy!
Hey, so today I thought I would do the 'This Or That' tag with one of my best friends, Lucy. This tag seems to be an American tag, so we are going to miss out the questions that we can't answer because we don't have those things in the UK. We just thought it would be a fun little beauty tag to do so lets get right into it...
-Make-Up:
Blusher or Bronzer: Me-Blusher.
Lucy-Blusher.
Lip Gloss or Lip Stick: Me-Lip Stick.
Lucy- I like both but if I had to pick one I would pick Lip Gloss.
Eye Liner or Mascara: Me-Mascara.
Lucy-Eye Liner.
Foundation or Concealer: Me-Concealer.
Lucy-Foundation
Neutral or Coloured Eye Shadow: Me-Neutral Eye Shadow.
Lucy-Neutral Eye Shadow because I feel like you can wear Neutral
Eye Shadow with more things.
Pressed or Loose Eye Shadow: Me-Pressed Eye Shadow.
Lucy-Pressed Eye Shadow.
Brushes or Sponges: Me-Brushes.
Lucy-Brushes.
-Nails:
OPI or China Glaze: Me-I only have China Glaze nail polishes, so I am going to have to say China Glaze
because I don't own/have never tried OPI nail polishes.
Lucy-I have never tried nail polishes from either of them so I can't really say which one
I prefer but if we were going off names I would pick China Glaze.
Long or Short: Me-Long but not stupidly long.
Lucy-Long but not too long.

Top 10 Things Every Girl Should Have In Their Handbag/School Bag!
Hey, first of all I want to say sorry for not posting for the last week. I don't really have a reason why I didn't post anything, I guess I just never got round to it. So today I am going to do a post on the 'Top 10 Things Every Girl Should Have In Their Handbag/School Bag'.
I was inspired to do this post today after lots of people kept coming up to me asking me for various things. I am seriously fed up of people (always girls, always the same girls) coming up to me asking me for things because they have not got them. I don't understand how you can leave the house without the basic essentials. If your prone to headaches, bring pain killers. If you have a cold, bring tissues. If you have P.E that day, bring deodorant and perfume. How hard is it?
The first thing I think you should ALWAYS have in your bag are pain killers. Paracetamol or ibuprofen, whichever you prefer. I know you can't always predict when you are going to get headaches and things so you should have them in your bag at ALL times. Better to be safe than sorry.

The next thing is something to make your breath smell and taste fresh. In my school, we are not allowed chewing gum but that does not mean we can't freshen up our breath after we eat. Simple pop some mints in your bag and you will be good to go. I also carry breath freshening spray with me. Pick one and have it on you for those days when your breath is not at its best.
Also you should carry tissues. Tissues are amazing for all sorts not just runny noses. You can use them to clean up spills, wipe away dirt and dry things with. Always have tissues with you. They are a real life saver. Trust me.
Germs. They are everywhere. Every door, seat and railing you touch is covered in germs. Some good, some bad. Hand sanitiser is brilliant. It cleans your hands before you eat, after you have been to the bathroom and everywhere in between. Carry it with you everywhere you go. This is a basic essential.
A pad and pen. You never know when your going to meet a cute guy and your going to need to jot his details down. You might need to jot down a bit of homework or write a to-do-list so you don't forget what you need to do that day. You might need to write a shopping list or meet up with a friend at a specific place. A pad and pen come in handy when you least expect it. Make sure your prepared for that moment.
Everyone hates a shiny, oily face. Its horrible having a oily face and having nothing to take away the oil with. Do you want to go round looking like you are sweating like mad? I don't think so. Carry blotting papers and this will never be a problem.
Mascara. It can brighten up your face even on the days when you look and feel like crap. A coat of mascara can do wonders for your mood. Personally, make-up gives me confidence and nothing says confidence like thick, long eyelashes. Smile, your wearing mascara.
Keeping your lips soft and smooth is so important. How are you meant to kiss that cute boy you have had your eye on if your lips are not soft and smooth? Exactly, you can't. Keep some lip balm in your bag and you will always be ready to kiss those cute boys.
No one likes a girl that smells bad. No one likes to smell bad. Make sure your not the one stinking by carrying deodorant in your bag. Smell great, feel great.
Lastly, perfume. It can give you the confidence to stand tall and go after what you want (by that I mean go after the cute boys you want). You can get so many compliments from wearing a nice perfume. Compliments make people smile. SMILE!
So, that's it for my 'Top 10 Things Every Girl Should Have In Their Handbag/School Bag' post. If you enjoyed reading this post please follow this blog. I hope you enjoyed this post and I will speak to you soon.
