It's been a while since I did a tag post and I've had this one sitting in my inventory of post ideas for a while now so I thought it might be fun to do. Tonight I'll be knuckling down and taking photos for blog posts and scheduling them- but until then I hope you forgive me for my 'laziness' and enjoy this post.

I have been away for the longest time.. and I apologize profusely. I've been caught up reading Game of Thrones and playing the latest expansion of World of Warcraft with my boyfriend (don't judge), I've barely had time to sleep let alone think.
So today, I thought I'd fill in my absence with a quick Tag I found. I think I found this on Just another Beauty Blogger's blog. Check out hers here.

 I'll be completely honest here- I was not tagged to do this post (oops).
I actually read this on another lovely bloggers page- Barbara's Life. You can find her post here. I highly recommend you check out her page as well.


1. GREED: What's your most expensive beauty item?
Seeing as the majority of my makeup is bought from drugstores- I don't really pay all that much for makeup. I wish I could say I could afford high-end makeup, but unfortunately I'm not that lucky.  
2. WRATH: Which beauty item do you have a love/hate relationship with?
Mascara. I absolutely love the stuff, but haven't found one that wont smudge, is build-able and isn't gunky. If you have any suggestions; please leave them below.
3. GLUTTONY: What makes up the biggest chunk of your make-up collection?
Brand or product? I'll answer both, just because.
Product: Lipstick. Without a doubt. I'm completely and utterly obsessed.
Brand: Rimmel London because they are affordable, have pretty colours and make nice products.
4. SLOTH: What product do you neglect due to laziness?
Primer. I don't think I've ever used it, although I know I should, I just always forget or am in too much of a hurry. Whoops.
5. PRIDE: Which beauty product gives you the most confidence?
Depending on how good my skin is, either foundation or lipstick. However, a good winged liner can also do wonders.
6. LUST: Which beauty product is on the top of your list?
There are so many! One thing I'm wanting (and hopefully getting for Christmas or my birthday this year) is a set of xoBeauty Brushes.
7. ENVY: Which make-up product/look looks great on others but not on yourself?
Makeup- probably coral colours. I haven't been able to make them work to date. However, my biggest beauty (hair) envy is curling with a straightener and fishtail braids. Any woman who can do either or both of these is a goddess.

Melissy's Questions:
Tell me one thing about you not many people would know.
I don't like hot desserts.
Who/What inspired your blog?
The main person who inspired me to start a blog was Zoella. I've wanted to start up a blog for quite a while but I was so afraid of what people would think and say, I was just too scared to start. After a while I just thought 'you wont get anywhere if you don't try,' so I gathered the courage to hit the 'post' button. So far, it's been absolutely great and I'm loving it!
What is your favourite leisurely activity?
Photography and makeup. I absolutely love going for a walk with my camera round the creek, or taking photos of the weird, wacky and wonderful makeup I come up with at 11pm. 
What was your favourite vacation spot and/or dream vacation spot?
Believe it or not, I've never really been on a holiday. I would LOVE to go to Brighton, and to also go visit Disneyland. 
Tell me 3 items on your bucket list.
Go hot air ballooning at sunrise, attend a concert and participate in a cosplay event. 
If you could only have 1 makeup product for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Tinted moisturiser/foundation. My skin is so uneven, and some days this is all I do wear, just to feel a little more confident.
Who has inspired you in some way and how?
There are so many people! Zoella, Sprinkle of Glitter, Naomi Smart- the list goes on. My biggest inspiration though are my little sister, they always seem to brighten every day. 
Top 5 places you love to buy clothes from.
Showpo, Hello Molly, Popcherry and Cotton on and K-mart (hello big spender) for the basics. 
Top 5 makeup brands you love.
Rimmel, face of Australia, Maybelline, L'Orel and Lime Crime.
Which do you prefer: Heels, Flats, Converse, or Flip Flops (or other).
Flats and small wedges, I adore heels but tend to stay away from them unless going to a special event because I'm so tall. 
Who would you cast to play you in a movie about your life?
I honestly for the life of me cannot think of a single person who I would cast. Anyone with acting skills I suppose!
