Happy Valentines Day lovelies! 
Valentines Day is always one of my favourite time of the year, even though I'm over here in the 'forever alone' club. This year I said Happy Valentines Day to my mum, my dad and my younger brother because they're my favourite people in the whole world. ♥ 

So, I'm doing a little tag today which I got from Milk Bubble Tea's blogpost. So, here we go.


1. Who would be your celebrity valentine? Oooh this is such a hard one. Either the young Leonardo Di Caprio (oh my god! beautiful) or David Beckham.
2. Favourite valentine's sweet treat?  Chocolate!
3. What's your favourite type of flowers?  I love roses, like the ones above which my dad bought my mum this year. 
4. Pink or red lipstick?  Red for Valentines Day, pink for any other day.
5. Any embarrassing valentine's moment?  Yes! When I was younger, a boy brought me a bouquet of flowers, a card and some chocolates to my door and ran around the corner to hide. He came out after and asked me to "go out with him" and I said no. I felt so bad afterwards! That's what my mum and dad get out every year in the embarrasing memories every year.
6. Ever received a weird valentine's gift?  Nope
7. Ever gave someone a weird valentine's day gift?  I've never EVER sent anyone a Valentine's present...
8. Favourite love story or film? Hmmmm Letters to Juliet is cute, and The Notebook. And (500) Days Of Summer, aka the best film in the world. 
9. Favourite love song/s? Jack Johnson - Better Together. Such a cute song.
10. A date at the cinema do you get salted or sweet popcorn? I hate popcorn.
11. Are you a romantic or a realist? I think I'm kinda both, if that makes sense. I always watch romantic films and cry and think 'I wish somebody did this for me' but in reality, if it did happen I'd probably just cringe my head off and go and be sick. So, it depends.
12. What does love mean to you? I've never been in love so I don't even know.
13. Favourite cheesy movie quotes?  So many! I can't even think of one to put here!

I'm sure you've seen a million and one reviews on the new lip lacquer from Rimmel, famously known as Apocalips. Well, you're about to read number one million and one! These little tubes of redy-pinky gloop has been my ultimate lip colours for the past few weeks.






 I'm not really one for lip glosses - especially when I have my hair down! Sticky little pieces of hair coated in a layer of lip gloss. Not a good look. However, these are not majorly sticky and give an amazing pigmented colour, which smell good too! This shade is called Celestial and it's a coraly-red pink colour which looks really nice on fairer skin tones. They say they're very long lasting, and on me they usually about 3-4 hours before I have to reapply. You seriously only have to have one swipe and this amazing colour is painted on.  I love this lacquer and will need to buy some other shades!

PS: This is nothing to do with this post at all but I've been a little Instagram addict lately, and I've noticed a few people are stealing my photos and using them as their own. I'm quite proud of my Instagram photos (saddo, I know) and I'm really annoyed by this! So, if you see a little watermark in my photo, it's so that nobody can take my photo and claim it to be theirs! 
PPS: I won a giveaway, run by the lovely Sarah from Friday is Forever! 1,000 business cards coming my way. Eeeep! I'm way too excited than I should be! Huggggge mahoosive thank you to Sarah!
