1. What is one product that makes you feel
like a million dollars?
Hmmm for a girl from Portsmouth probably a ‘million
dollars’ is a stretch too far. Not going to happen. However, I will settle for
feeling like a tenner. That’s a lot of money dannn the back streets of Pompey
don’t cha know.
The thing that makes me feel best is
probably lipstick. Especially red. And especially matte. My two ultimate faves
have to be Mac Ruby Woo and Revlon Strawberry Suede. I know the
quintessentially ‘glamourous’ way to wear red would be to hark back to the 50’s.
But there’s nothing more modern than a throwaway red lip. That’s why I like
matte. Yes it takes a little prep work, but once it’s on, it’s on. It lights up
the face and you look all (well in my head this is how it is, but probably in
real life I look like a hooker with lipstick on my teeth) ‘Try hard? Yea- I
just threw this on.’
MAC Ruby Woo...an artistic pic. Blame the wine.
Revlon Strawberry Suede....applied excellently as you can see.....
2. What is your skincare secret? / A passed down skin care tip
I don’t feel like I’m old or wise enough to
have a skincare secret. Maybe when (if) I get to like 60 and for some crazy
(never going to happen) reason I have good skin….maybe then I’ll have some pearls
of wisdom for you.
But for now, my number one tip is-
prevention is better than cure.
Right now I’m all about the double cleanse……cleansing….more
cleansing. A dab of exfoliation. Regular masks. Eating right. SPF. Eye cream.
Vitamins.
I would probably never tell her this
because, no offence, she’s got a big head and she’d rate herself 10/ 10 every
day, but my nan is probably a great skin care example to me. She’s 72 and she’s
not very wrinkly. I don’t think I’ve inherited those genes, unfort. So my best
bet is probably to get really really fat and have a big smooth round face J
3. Share your hair care secret?
Hahaha erm…..waking up with five minutes to
get ready, pulling out my hair tie and maybe if there’s time giving it a brush?
No, in general I’m quite lucky with my
hair. It’s very thick and in quite good condition on its own. So round of
applause for my hair. I often neglect you and yet you put up a good fight.
LOL I’m joshin’ with you (……sort of).My
number one secret, like with skincare, is look after. I use a lot of
conditioning products and masques and I’ve got in to the habit *mental pat on
the back* of using heat protectant every time I blow dry or use appliances on
my hair.
I do dye my hair which will probably mean I’ll
be a bald old woman, does leave my hair in good condition for a little while
after it’s been freshly done.
Upkeep is a really big job tbh. And right
now (gulp) it’s not exactly the colour I want, so I’m working on that. Which
means a lot of extra time shampooing. So if you wondered what I was doing in
there, I’m not up anything dodge don’t worry.
4. What is your biggest diet rule?
I’m actually planning a post on this very
issue, so I won’t go in to too much detail now.
As it will bore you. And you will want to cry. I’ve recently gone on a
bit of a get-healthy mission. My weight
and I have always had a bit of a strained relationship. Like a cousin that you
know is a bitch but you have to put on a brave face and deal with her because
she’s your cousin, you know?
So my biggest diet rule is probably don’t ‘diet’.
It’s all about a healthy lifestyle. For life. More on this later.
5. Any workout tips?
Never thought I would say this. But I love
running. To anyone that knew me up until like two months ago, that’s right-
SURPRISE- something’s happened to me and I don’t know how or when it did, but
it has. And now. I. Am. A. Runner.
Biggest workout tip? Simple- work out. It’s
the best natural high you’re going to get, it relieves stress, it makes you
horny….what’s not to love.
6. Which perfume is your secret weapon?
My favourite is Chanel Coco Madmoiselle.
But my secret weapon is Armani Code. Love
it. Love it. LOVE. ITTTTTTTTTT.
7. Show us a clothing item of yours which always turns heads
PAHAHAHA for all the wrong reasons.
8. What is your most treasured piece of jewellery?
Okay, prepared to be amazed. This necklace
was a Christmas present from my mum a couple of years ago. It’s Accessorize and
I lusted after it for a ridiculous amount of time.
Also love this other Accessorize necklace
which again, I lusted over. And then got it for £4 in the sale. BAM.
9. Who is your style crush?
OMG so many women, so little time. Style
inspiration is everywhere. Blogs, magazines, films, in the supermarket……
I can’t just name one person because if I
see, for example, Rihanna, in one outfit- I’m like ‘nice.’ The next minute, she’s
looking all trailer trash.
10. Tell us something we don't know about
you
I LIKE WINE.
NO, I MEAN I LIKE WINE.
