OOTD + LOTD

Hey there!! Today it snowed and it was awesome! Sorry I haven't blogged recently, haven't had the heart or the time really!! But I am on my christmas holidays now so YAY!! So here is a quick couple of pictures of me today!

Look of the day. Only a week till Christmas, so officially allowed to do sparkly make up and dressed up hair!

Only had sparkly eyeliner on my lash line, no eye colour or anything!!

Outfit consisted of Welly boots, purple waterfall cardy from M&S and a jumper dress underneath!

It wasn't TOO cold outside, BUT this might just mean its going to snow again!! Might blog later, I have an idea for a blog!!

 Talk to you later guys and girls!

Depression

How do you deal with it? I know I am very prone to depression and that it can hit me hard. For example, I am depressed right now due to reasons beyond my control and it makes me feel so totally helpless and alone that I just don't know what to do. I also get Seasonal Affective Disorder, which makes it hard for me to cope during Winter. Sometimes I just don't function, I try hard, but its too much effort to do anything and I just sit in bed all day and watch TV and not eat. Today, I haven't gone to college, I can't stop crying on and off. I have to go to work later, as I need the money so I hope I can cope then. I just don't know what to do right now, when you can't even fix the reason you are depressed, then it just kills you inside. I just don't know how to cope, so I was wondering, do other people get this? How do you cope? I used to self harm, but these days I just stop eating and functioning. The only thing that makes it go away for a bit is seeing my friends, and I am seeing one of my old besties tomorrow, so I hope she can cheer me up, she knows why I am upset and she understands. I have work first thing tomorrow as well. I guess I have to do what I do when I have to see other people, and put on the fake smiling face and cope until I can get home and to my room and break down again.

I feel so bad, why does this stuff affect me so badly, is there something wrong with me? Am I just a silly over emotional girl? Do I need to grow up? I don't know, can anyone help or is it just me who feels like this?

Questions and Answers :D

Hey there girls and boys!! Time to answer the questions you asked me!!

The lovely Bunny asked me:
1.)since when have you started drawing?
Hmmmm for quite a many years now!! I think when I properly started getting into it was four years ago now, when I was 18!!
2.)If you could do anything in life, what would it be :D
I would want to go back in time and buy clothes from different eras!! Does that count as an answer xD
3.) Strips or Polka dots,,, and why ^^
Polka dots, because I think they are so darn cute!! Stripes are cute too but I prefer pretty polka dots!


The cuteypie a!ko asked:
1. places you want to visit
Japan, Thailand, China and other Asian countries, California, Athens, Egypt, Rome, Australia and Aztec sites in South America!
2. how you met your boyfie ;) hehe...
I met my boyfriend about 5 years ago now on a website called Habbo Hotel!! Sad now I look back but a year after meeting and chatting online we were going out!! 4 years and 7 months now!!<3

The awesome Audrey asked:
"You're British right? I want to know awesome British terms :3"
Well, this is a kinda hard question as I don't know words that other countries don't use. Here are ones I don't think are used elsewhere though?
Goodies ~ Northern England speak for sweets
Bray ~ Northern England speak for hit
Ta ~ Southern England for thank you
Bangers and mash ~ Sausages and mash potato
Blates ~ blatently
Having a fag ~ Having a cigarette
Blimey ~ Wow
I could go on and on xD I am not sure if other people use these words, Austalia might use some.



The wonderful RabbitoBonBon asked me:
"Do you like Asian fashion? (O^o^O) And what kind of Western food do you like?"
I do like Asian fashion!! I love so much of it from sweet lolita and gal in Japan to make up styles from Korea!!
And I like all sorts of wesern food! Some of my favourites are Fish and chips (preferably with gravy), Ocean pie, Pizza, shepards pie, pasta, all sorts!



 The terrific Toni asked me:
"HMM... Why did you decide to go on blogger? :) "
At first, it was curiousity and to read other blogs!! This eventually evolved into writing my own blog about what ever!! I know my blog is very mishmashed but I do enjoy writing it!!



I hope I answered them well enough!! See you next time bloggers!! Remeber to check out the bloggers who asked me questions!!

Fashion Blog: My Winter Addiction!!

Hello girls! Since its Friday, its time for a Fashion/Beauty blog!! And today we are focusing on Fashion!!
With every passing season, there comes new fashions, and I am not one to follow trends that much, but usually there is at least one thing I like from the seasonal offerings. MOST things I dislike...hareem pants? No thanks. Faux fur coats? Hmmmm, bit too cougar for me. JEGGGINGS? OH GOD NO!!
But all is not lost for my fashion sense. So what am I addicted too this season? Why BOOTS of course!! Who doesn't love a comfy pair of boots to keep your feet warm during the cold months? From ankle to thigh high, every woman SHOULD own a pair of boots!! Currently I only have heeled boots, but a flat pair is the next to join my collection! Talking of collections, here is mine!

Now, I only have five pairs, but I can see by the end of Winter, that will increase...especially since I already have my eye on two pairs!! One from River Island:

And these from Peacocks!! Need the River Island boots first though, they are essentially flats!! Now lets get back to my collection :D Starting with the smallest first, these are my brogues from New Look, bought ages ago so you probably won't find them in stores now! I do love broguey boots:

New Look

These boots at the moment are my most 'practicle' pair. They are my faux flats xD. I wear them when I want to wear boots and heels but not really high heels!!
Next, lets have my second pair! This lovely set of boots from Irregular Choice mmmmmm so pretty!

Irregular Choice

I love these boots so much!! I would wear them AAAAALLLLLL the time if it wasn't for the pain they can cause as they are uncomfy if you wear them while walking to much!! I wear them when I want an OMPH to my outfit, mostly on days where I am wearing dark clothes!
The next pair is my ebay grab which I got at like three times less than the original price!! They are original Dorothy Perkins boots which I got for about £7 on ebay!!

Dorothy Perkins

I love these boots! I don't really like pointy shoes, but I feel in love with these and had to buy!! They are a tad on the big side but fit perfectly with fluffy thick socks!! Sooooo comfy and they make me sway when I walk haha!!
Second to last are my second newest pair, my beauties from New Look (which my friend bought the exact same pair recently >:( copying me! ) These are my go to boots when its cold or I just want very warm feet and comfy feet!!

New Look

Mmmmmmm love these lace up boots, I think lace ups are my current faves in the boots trend!! And the fleecy inside is so soft and warm!! Love these (wearing them today actually ;D)
Last but not least is my longest boots, since I have fat calves I don't tend to buy past ankle, but I HAD to have these, for £17 and really nice, I had to buy these!

Quality Seconds!

Yup, Quality Seconds!! Never turn your nose up at any shop, you never know where the hidden gems lie!! I always go into every shop, whether its associated with grannies or not (apart from Bonmarche, which I approached once with my mum and decided, indeed, this was a loss!). Quality Seconds does have some nice stuff at cheaper prices!!
So thus ends my boots collection, but watch this space, its going to grow as the cold months pass!!

Life Update!

Hey girls and boys! So guess whos been a bad blogger? Yup, thats right, me!! *shots self* But its okay I am back now!! This is just a quick blog today though, tomorrow will be a proper one, on beauty/fashion ;D

So how am I? I am very well thank you! I haven't been ill, just busy, and although I haven't lost weight, I am finally starting on trying properly!! Though at the moment I can't do my exercise DVD at home due to no where to do it! I can't do it in my room as its too noisy, and my mum is in all day as she had an op on her wrist!! Shes okay, just in pain and indoors haha!! I will have to find some other exercise to do, maybe a half an walk? Though on days like this, you wouldn't want to!! *points out window to wet windy cold day*

Good news though!! I have got a job!! Just a part timer till just after Christmas, but YAY. Its working in clothes shop, Peacocks, which is good value fashion!! I get a 20% discount!! I have added so many things to my list, but I need to distinguish between things I NEED and things I just want haha!! Hopefully, if I get paid tomorrow, I will get some things I NEED, like leggings, slippers, maybe something to wear to work and a long sleeved top. We can wear anything we want as long as its not jeans and is plain and black!! Which isn't to bad, there are some nice black dresses!!

I am still with my boyfriend, I saw him in the last week of October! I won't see him next til around the 27th of December though, and even then I have to persuade him to come down here as I can't go up there due to work!! I hope if I pay for it (like all the times he paid for me to go up there) he will come down!! We both prefer me going up there as we have more to do!! Might need to pick up a multiplayer game for my Xbox360 or two!

Okay, I am off now to get a shower and clean my room!! See you tomorrow!! Maybe I will blog about boots....mmmmmmm booooots

My New Love: LIPSTICKS

Hello ladies!! I know I said next post would be Cheddar Gorge but I want to, on Fridays, do a make up post!! So Fridays are for make up kiddies!!

Today I will be talking about lipsticks! I only have 9 right now, but I think I have bought three in three weeks (might buy another one next week to make it an even ten, 9 doesn't sit right with me ;D ). My main love at the moment is MUA lipsticks!! I love MUA (Make Up Academy) stuff, and I said to myself one day, Kitty, you are gonna collect everything MUA that you will use!! SO I started with the lipsticks, of which I now own four!! Here is a picture of all my lipsticks firstly:

MUA lipsticks on the left, NYC lipstick in the middle, Avon lipsticks then Clinque lipsticks

If I count my GOSH lipbalm I could probably make it ten haha!! So here is the line up of my lipsticks!!

MUA Lipstick Shade 2

This is one of my darker nudey shades, one I bought to match my GOSH lipbalm colour in fact. I would call this colour a plummy pink colour and I love it, I think I swatched it on my lips recently but I am not sure! If you do want swatches please do ask!!
Consistency: Creamy and feels moisturising but not sure if it is. It doesn't dry out my lips though
Colour: Plummy pink
Smell: Like all MUA lipsticks, it smells surprisingly nice. A almost sweet vanilla smell.
Taste: Haven't noticed a particular strong taste or bad taste
Longevity: Last quite a while, but after eating or drinking can fade.
Price: £1!!
Where to buy?: I buy mine from Superdrugs
Rating: 4/5 I give it this score as the only thing is it doesn't last as long as I like but apart from that its brilliant value for money!! Credit crunch make up!!

MUA Lipstick Shade 6

I needed something MLBB so I went to my local superdrugs on a hunt!! I think this was the second MUA lipstick I bought, looking for something nudey pink so I could wear it with heavy eye make up. I love this shade as it gives my lips that omph without looking OTT!!

Consistency: creamy and non drying
Colour: Light nudey pink
Smell: MUA's sweet vanilla smell
Taste: no specific strong taste
Longevity: not too bad, but not brilliant
Price: £1
Where to buy?: Superdrugs
Rating: 4/5 I love this colour to whack on when I am wearing intense eyes, as its a lovely nude colour, like my lips but better!! Its ever so slightly shimmery but not major. Brilliant value

MUA Lipstick Shade 8

I actually bought this lipstick yesterday!! I haven't had a chance to wear it yet but I might do it today!! Its such an intense shade and I love it on my lips!!

Consistency: creamy and non drying
Colour: darkish red with a shimmer
Smell: sweet vanilla
Taste: no strong taste
Longevity: don't know yet!!

Price: £1
Where to buy?: Superdrugs
Rating: can't really rate this one yet as I haven't worn it!!

MUA Lipstick Shade 12

This was the first MUA lipstick I bought, looking for a muted down shade of my NYC lipstick. Its a lovely pink shade with glittery  sparkles in it that show up on my lips and leave a nice effect.

Consistency: cream and non drying
Colour: brightish pink with sparkly bits
Smell: sweet vanilla
Taste: no strong taste
Longevity: decent enough for its price

Price: £1
Where to buy?: Superdrugs
Rating: 4/5 Again, the only reason the MUA lipsticks arn't perfect is their longevity!!

NYC Lipstick in 405B Blue Rose

I was looking for a bright pink shade one day, to be daring and I found this lovely colour!! I have to wear it on a brave day but it does look perfect on me once you get over the shock of the colour!
Consistency: creamy but a bit drying
Colour: bright pink with blue undertones
Smell: slight lipstick smell (do you know what I mean by lipstick smell?)
Taste: no particular taste
Longevity: I was amazed by the longevity of this lipstick. It keeps on going for ages and ages, and I talk and eat a lot!!

Price: £1.99
Where to buy?: Superdrugs
Rating: 4/5 The only problem is its a bit drying on my lips but apart from that its great value for money!!

Avon Lipstick in Vintage Pink

My mum got this lipstick free when she bought something from Avon (under my encouragement) and decided that the colour didn't suit her (shes dark skinned as my Grandad is Pakistani always tanned the lucky woman) so she gave it to me, what a shame :D
Consistency: its quite a hard lipstick but goes on nicely
Colour: I can only describe it as a nude red. It is a pinky red but not too intense, but it looks good!
Smell: I always thought it smelt lovely, like parma violets!!
Taste: don't taste of anything
Longevity: lasts a very long time but fades after too much drinking and eating

Price: £6.50
Where to buy?: From an Avon representative or the website (see below)
Rating: 4/5 is a good lipstick, but can get a similar performing lipstick for cheaper

Avon Lipstick in Frozen Rose

I don't remember where I got this, I believe it was last Christmas and its a lovely nude colour, but I use it sparingly as it can be a bit too pale for my lips depending on the make up I am wearing. It has lovely gold undertones so is quite a warm shade! Avon no longer sells this lipstick though
Consistency: smooth not too creamy
Colour: a light pinky shade with golden undertones
Smell: smells a bit sweet but with a tiny sawdust smell
Taste: no strong taste
Longevity: lasts okay but does fade after eating and drinking

Price: not sure as no longer sold
Where to buy?: no longer avaliable
Rating: I give this a 3/5 as it was probably expensive but doesnt last long and has a slight bad smell

Clinique Different Lipstick in Rose Taffy

I wanted a expensive lipstick just to see what they are like!! Luckily my uncle works for Este Lauder so I got these for Christmas :D I went into Debenhams first though to check my ideal shade, which turned out to be this lovely nudey pink!
Consistency: creamy but ever so slightly greasy
Colour: nudey rose pink colour with shimmers
Smell: classic lipstick smell
Taste: tiny bit of a taste but unnoticeable mostly
Longevity: lasts as long as you expect it too, very good longevity!

Price: £14.50
Where to buy?: Debenhams and online
Rating: 4/5 I don't like the lipstick smell and the slight greasyness but apart from that you DO get what you pay for in longevity and colour!!

GOSH Soft'n Shine lipbalm in Perfect Plum 34

Every now and then I splurge on some expensive drug store make up and most of the time the splurge is on GOSH!! I do love GOSH make up but its a bit pricey for me!! But I saw this and wanted to try a tinted lip balm!! This works quite well on my lips and it is very pigmented!
Consistency: creamy and greasy due to the moisturising
Colour: lovely plum colour
Smell: it smells like the lovely sweet tic tac smell :D
Taste: tastes a bit like tic tacs too mmmmmm
Longevity: lasts quite long despite it being greasy but does get wiped off by food

Price: I think I bought mine on offer for £6.50 but its around that price if not it
Where to buy?: Superdrugs
Rating: 4/5 If it lasted long too it would be perfect!

So this quick blog post on lipsticks turned into a very long blog post xD Appreciate it :P I am off to get a bath!! I will answer all comments over the weekend, I promise <3

Down The Rabbit Whole

Hello everyone!! How are you? I am back on schedule today, finally!! So today I am going to post about a party I went to on Sunday :D

It was my friend Maisey's 18th birthday party and she threw an Alice in Wonderland themed tea party!! There was no alcohol but a lot and a lot of cake!!

One end of the table with me, the Prince of Hearts and the Cheshire Cat!

The other end of the table with two white rabbits, two Hearts servants and one Alice

I went as Alice!! I wish I could of have a dress or something like the one in the movie, but I improvised haha!!

Me with the white rabbit! I don't think I ever kept still long enough for a decent picture haha!!

It was loads of fun!! At first we were all sat round the table I had a cup of tea and then some coke and the Cheshire Cat and the Prince of Hearts kept making me laugh everything I tried to sip my coke and resulted in me, a few times, spitting my coke out!! They are eeevillll to me!! Soon we migrated into the living room to kinda watch the movie and kinda mess about!! We chattered a lot and the Prince kept making disturbing noises everytime the Bloodhound came on TV hahaha it was so funny!! Here is a lovely picture of me and my friends messing about:

Maybe I am angry because they are my sunglasses? IDK

At some point, half the room had migrated to the middle room and the few of us that were left creeped out into the garden and then scared them by pressing themselves up against the window from the darkness of the garden....well okay, only I did the window thing, but it was funny and they all jumped and screamed!!

I'MA EATCHU

After that we went into the same room and turned the light off and caused trouble and get blinded by people randomly flashing their cameras so every five seconds the room was lit up by a camera flash MY EYYYES!!

At some point before it turned dark, pictures were taken of everyone in the garden!! So here are some:

The birthday girl as the Mad Hatter and the Cheshire Cat

All the Alice's

The White Rabbits! With the Cheshire Cat peeking in

The Prince of Hearts and his minions

When it was dark, we eventually headed into the garden and sat in a circle chatting till I demanded some sort of party game, which, in the end, turned into Truth or Dare!! I asked for one dare and I had to eat a spoonful of coffee and threw up it was sooooo DISGUSTING never again!! At 10:10pm we had the birthday cake :D Me and the cat kept passing it round the table, not actually stopping it and at some point I licked two slices, but people ate it regardless haha!! I hope they have my cold, gross people!! I didn't really feel like cake at that point so I nibbled at a bit and didn't finish my slice, so I gave it to my dustbin AKA the Prince. I think he polished off about three slices!!

It was a brilliant night and I am so glad I went, even if I did have to get up at 615 the next morning!! Sooo tired but I slept on the minibus to Cheddar Gorge (blog about that tomorrow). I shall leave you with a group photo!

Haul Post :D

Hey guys! Here is a quick haul post as I am in pain in my side for some reason xD

I went shopping during the week when I was feeling ill, to make myself feel better, and bought some things for meeee!! And saw something I wanted which I went and bought the next day ;D

So here is what I bought!!

The pick n mix and the galaxy was 99p ;D NOM NOM NOM I love the 99p store cause if you want a quick treat the little tubs of pick n mix arn't so big that you can put a sickly amount of sweets in it, its just right in size.
Here is closer up pictures!

Needed a new one of these since my Hello Kitty one was on its last legs. Love these

£1 pearly blue liquid eyeliner that resists smudging and a bit of water? Yes please!

I was so ill I wore JEANS OMG and nice bit of card for drawing cards on...haha

Was recommended this for my eyelashes and it works well, though a bit clumpy :D

My third MUA lipstick, I am addicted

Haven't added to my collection in a while so here are some pastel shades :D

Kids ear muffs cause adults are too big for my head :(

I'm being Alice tomorrow ;D

Gonna cut the fingers off to make them like her gloves in the TB movie

Charity store find ;D

A water proof shopping bag, just what I needed!

And what I went back for the next day were these babies, my last self purchase for the month ;D

I love these so comfy!! And good for winter ;D

Now to go as in unbearable pain D:
