PERFECT VALENTINES LIP

Whether you are single or taken, I am sure you are all aware that tomorrow is Valentines day! I hope that what ever you decide to do, you have a lovely day. I thought I would share with you some of my favourite girly lip colours that I think will be perfect for valentines day. My three picks this year is Bourjois Colour Boost Lip Crayon in Fuschia Libre, MAC Lipstick in Morning Rose and Topshop Lips in Hazard. All really lovely girly shades. 
My favourite of the three lipsticks is 'Hazard' by Topshop. It is a gorgeous deep red shade and I think it is perfect for valentines if you are out for the evening or on a singles girls night out. It isn't as vibrant as a traditional red shade but I think I prefer this deeper tone. Being blonde, I didn't think it would suit me as it was quite dark but I actually really like it. I think Topshop lipsticks are not raved about enough. They are a really good price and they so pigmented and last a long time. This is definitely my 'go to' choice of red lipstick when I go on a night out. 
The other two shades are a lot more subtle and more suitable for the day time. The Bourjois Lip Crayon in Fuschia Libre is this lovely bright pink shade. It is slightly shimmery and I think it is perfect for a day time Valentines date. It isn't too bright and vibrant but does give a little burst of colour to any outfit. MAC Morning rose is a lot softer pink and is more subtle. I like to wear this when I want to make my natural lip colour stand out more. It is perfect if you want something a little more natural but still wanting to empathise your lips. The swatches above are shown in order that they are shown in the first photograph. Hope everyone has a lovely Valentines day!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

Happy Valentine's day! 14th Feburary the day most single girls hate. To me, valentines day is just another day and it shouldn't be treated any differently! Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of giving a card and maybe a small gift to show someone you love them but I don't think it should be taken too seriously. I personally think that it is just a bit of fun and should be enjoyed by everyone even those who are single and are  "lonely" and "depressed".
   
I thought I would answer some of the questions on the "valentines tag" that has been going around the blogging community at the moment. Who would be your celebrity valentine? Chase Crawford or Ricky Whittle. What's your favourite type of flower? White Rose or Lily's. Favourite love story or film? The Holiday, aww my favourite film! Are you a romantic or a realist? I would say I am a realist but a little bit of romance is cute just not too much cheese! A date at the cinemas do you get salted or sweet popcorn? Neither, I would get chocolate. What does love mean to you? Sharing a connection and knowing everything about the other person. Being able to trust and be happy with each other all the time. Ever gave someone a weird valentines day gift? I haven't actually! Any embarrassing valentine's moments? A guy once told me he "loved me" on valentines day and I didn't like him so I ran off (I was in primary school). Favourite love songs? The Power of Love - Frankie goes to Hollywood or the Summer of 69.
Hope everyone has had the best Valentines day ever and if not, don't worry, there is always next year ;) If anyone buys me this card above for next year, I will guarantee I will love them forever.
