Beauty 101 - Tag

To mix things up i thought i would do a beauty tag as i havent done a tag in a while. I found this one on google and loved the questions it included, pointless random facts. Im planning to bring my December favourites very soon so keep an eye out for that!


1. Is your hair naturally curly or straight?
My hair is very much straight

2. What is your natural hair colour?
Dark blonde

3. Do you dye it yourself or go to a salon?
Ive only ever had highlights in my hair twice and ombred once, each time i went to the salon no way would i do it myself (even though i am qualified to do so)

4. How often do you wash your hair?
Every night. Theres this myth that washing your hair is bad for it but it is infact untrue. I backcomb my hair and use a lot of hairspray each day so i feel so mucky when i dont wash it before bed.

5. Do you wear the same hairstyle every day or change it?
I mainly wear my hair the same everyday, normally straight and my fringe clipped up. Some days il put a plait in my fringe and on days when im feeling veeeery lazy il just scoop it up into a messy bobble.

6. Do you do your own mani/pedi or go to a salon?
I try to do it myself but miserably fail. No way am i paying salon prices!

7. How often to you change your nail polish?
Every week, my nail varnish constantly chips and i hate scruffy looking nails.

8. Do you polish your toes in the winter, too or just in the summer?
I always have nail varnish on my toes, if not i look like i have man feet and thats not  a good look for me!

9. How long does it take to put on your makeup?
If im in a rush about 15-20 minutes if not normally about 30 minutes.

10. What do you do first? Face or eyes?
Face, its very rare i wear eye makeup except from mascara.

11. Do you "collect" makeup or just buy what you need when you need it?
A bit of both, il go through stages where i just buy makeup for the sake of it but then other times il just top up on what im running out of. All depends on how many pennies i have.

12. How often do you wear false eyelashes?
Almost never. I think i have worn false eyelashes about 5 times in my life and that was either for prom, a dance show or just a night out.

13. Do you do a full face of makeup every day?
Yes,  feel really lazy if i dont put on my makeup.

14. Do you wear makeup when you are home alone (or with family)?
Yes like i said above i wear it every single day.

15. Will you leave the house without makeup?
Absolutely, it doesnt bother me if people see me without makeup, i only apply it normally everyday because i like to make the effort and myself feel alive and well.

16. How many high end products do you have?
Only a handful, mainly brushes.

17. How often do you wash your makeup brushes?
Not as often as i should...

18. Do you plan your OOTD every night or decide when you are getting dressed?
If im going somewhere important or early in the morning i will plan but normally i just roll out of bed and randomly choose clothes.

19. How often do you change your handbag?
probably every few months. Im in love with the Ted Baker shopper bags atm.

20. What time do you get up & go to sleep?
Okay so im in a really bad sleeping pattern at the minute due to working hours. Lately ive been going to sleep around 2 am and getting up at 11am, thats really lazy i know but i cant help it. A few months ago i wouldnt be in bed past 9!

21. How often & when do you workout?
I used to exercise LOADS when i was at school but ive become a major couch potato. However these past few days ive done lots of exercising, like last night me and my boyfriend went for a half an hour jog. Was so rejuvenating.

22. Left-handed or Right-handed?
Right handed.

23. How tall are you?
I think about 5 foot 9 Inches. Pretty tall for a girl.

24. Do you speak a foreign language?
Nope tried learning spanish once. I can now say hello and goodbye.

25. How many pets do you have?
Just one, my beautiful doggy missy!

26. How often are you on Blogger?
I check it everyday but only post twice a week. I would love to posting everyday but due to the demands of everyday life i just dont have the time:-(

27. Do you read the comments posted blogs?
Yes.

28. Do you keep a list of products to try as you see other posts?
Yes i love reading other peoples reviews and testing out new products. Most of the time you find something that you would never have found on your own.

29. How did you come up with your blog name?
I have been called Misskeeleah on instagram for a while so i just kinda went with that.

30. What kind of camera do you use for photographs?
Im not a professional so i just my bog standard iphone camera, i still manage to get some pretty good shots, its all about the technique.

31. How often do you clean your house? (Daily, weekly, other)
My mum mainly does it (as i live with my parents) but i help out as much as i can by keeping my things tidy.

32. What is your favourite colour?
I don't exactly have a favourite colour, i like black and white when it comes to clothes, pink for my bedroom and cream for decor. 

33. What is your favorite beauty/fashion magazine?
This may sound very cliche but i love cosmopolitan and glamour.

34. Do you swear?
Not very often no and if i do its only the minor words.

35. What are you doing with the rest of your day?
Well right now it is 11.30 at night so after this i will be reading my book - Girl Online On Tour, and then going to beddy byes.

October Favourites

Okay so were on the 5th of November now and i didn't think it was appropriate to wait until Monday to do my October favourites post so i decided to do a mid week blog update! So today i bring to you a few of my favourite things from last month...


Its very rare i go into Primark but the other week when i was in town i decided to pop in and have a little browse, and boy am i glad i did. I came across these cute, quirky pyjamas which i immediately fell in love with! I bought two pairs (pictured below) Mickey Mouse and Olaf, they did have loads more styles such as Minnie Mouse, the unicorn off Despicable Me and panda bears, but i wasn't prepared to pay any more for pjs. These were £15 each which come on, is quite expensive from Primark. They're the softest, fluffiest, comfiest pjs i have ever worn, just perfect for winter!




Most of my makeup i buy is L'OREAL and at Boots they always have a 3 for 2 sale on so i get the chance to try out products i wouldn't normally buy other than my necessities. With my last purchase i bought some foundation, concealer and this little beauty, the brow artist kit. I normally use brown eyeshadow for my eyebrows as i dont have to fill them in or shape them too much, but i am loving this kit recently and I use it everyday. In this little compact it comes with a wax which apply first to hold the hairs in your desired shape and then you put on the brown powder to fill in the gaps. Ive got the shade light to medium but it does come in variety of shades. It usually costs £9.99 but like i said at Boots its 3 for 2 so i got this free *yay*. Definitely worth the money though.





My last favourite for October is this strawberry body lotion from Avon. I use this cream every night on my hands as for some reason they dry up pretty fast, especially in this cold weather thats now arriving. I know this sounds daft but it is the perfect consistency as i hate body cream that's too thick and goes greasy/oily. It easily rubs in leaving your hands feeling soft and rejuvenated! Plus you only need the minutest pea sized amount to cover the full hand.


There you go, these are my October favourites. I will be making this a monthly ritual to show you all my favourites and what i'm loving from month to month. Ciao for now, see you next Monday!
