Browsing on Elle and Blair (from Youtube)'s website click here to go there, I came across this tag and it looked like so much fun! Blair did it on their forum, so I decided it would be fun to try :)
Is it cute when guys kiss you on your forehead?
Yeah, it's adorable :)
A big poofy dress or a short party dress?
Depending on how poofy it really is ;) I do enjoy short dresses that have a little bit of a poof to it though :) But most of the time I would pick a short party dress.
Are diamonds a girl's best friend?
They could be ;) But for me, I'm not really too big on diamonds :)
Is your hair up or down today?
Up, like usual. It's my comfy, laid back go-to hairstyle--messy buns and loose pony tails :)
Do you straighten your hair?
Mm...I try not to straighten it much, only for special occasions like picture day or a wedding.
Favourite mascara?
Maybelline's Great Big Lash <3
Do you get your nails done?
Once in a blue moon. I prefer a DIY manicure..
Small or Large purses?
Definitely large, you can never go wrong ;)
Jeans or sweats?
Sweats are my best friend <3
Do you wear clothes/shoes/jewellery that's uncomfortable?
Occasionally, not very often though.
Do you text message a lot?
I don't have a phone...
What's your favourite colour?
PURPLE!!
Heels or Flats?
Flats.
Would you ever leave the house without makeup on?
I do it all the time :)
Walmart or Target?
Walmart. We don't really have Target's in Canada, but all Zeller's stores are turning into Targets!!
Do you think lipgloss is the best?
NO! I can't stand anything on my lips.
Do you own any big sunglasses?
Pshh yeah, hello they are all the hype! ;)
How long does it take you to get ready in the morning?
Fifteen to twenty minutes. My hair takes a longgg time :P
Gold or Silver?
Do I have to pick? I like them both equally...
Do you like to wear dresses?
Yeahh, they're my favourite!
In the last 48 hours have you hung out with a guy?
Counting my family, yes but just a random guy...no.
Do you like to hold hands?
It's cute enough ;)
What do you notice when you first meet a guy?
His eyes, personality and smile. I need to know what the guy is all about!
Do you like making eye contact?
Yeah, people mistake me for staring at them sometimes...
Would you kill for chocolate?
Not really.
On a scale of 1-10 how fun is shopping?
Infinity!! But it depends on who it is I'm shopping with.
Do you yell a lot?
Yeahh, you could say that. I'm a very loud person.
Do you wear sweatpants/pyjamas to school/work?
I wear sweatpants to school a majority of the time.
Have you ever dressed unlike yourself to impress a guy?
Nope, never. I don't believe in doing that.
What makeup could you not live without?
Mm...I don't have a specific brand, but mascara is a life saver.
Do you fall in love easily?
Sigh. I used to be so naive and open but now I'm much more reserved and guarded. But if I've liked a guy previously before, I can still feel a tinge for that guy when I see him. But I'm in love right now with a boy who I never get to see <3
Do you have cramps?
Only if I eat/drink too much then do something active.
Do you think you have the bestest friend ever?
YES! <3 She's awesome, I love her (like a sister). We've only been best friends for two years, but we have tons of laughs.

Perfume Review: Someday!
Hi Beauties! :)
I know, I know I've been sort of MIA for a while but its been my birthday and I've had lots of assignments and such. So without further ado, here is my review of Someday by Justin Bieber. Don't click away now, I promise you that this review is great!
So this is what my baby looks like. It is my first perfume (not body mist) and I've had it since Saturday. It is the limited edition one, so this version will not be available for much longer. The other bottle is clear with pink hearts, I believe. I think the LE one is prettier :)
Scent:
Top Notes:Juicy mandarin, pear, wild berries. Heart: Fresh jasmine, creamy flowers. Base: Vanilla and soft musk.
Oh my gosh, this smells like heaven! I'm already a big fan of JB but that didn't influence me to want this perfume. [For me] It starts off really floral-y then it transitions into a more fruity scent and then a soft sweet scent. It is honestly my signature scent at the moment. I'm saying 'Screw it' to the body mists, Someday is my baby! I love how this smells, it's so unique and...different, I'm loving it. I'd rate it an 8.5/10 and I'm very hard to please.
Packaging:
This was very well packaged. When I received this as a birthday gift on Saturday, it had plastic on the outside and then a big box under that. You open the box and there is another box and you open that and nestled in protective wrapping (I'm pretty sure) is the perfume. I have the biggest size (100 mL) for those who were wondering. The packaging is a 10/10.
Appearance:
This is actually very appealing with a red glass bottle and heart shaped flower petals on it. The charm also fits quite well, the 'key to his heart' charm is what I got. It's very chic and elegant, which I love. I would rate it an 8/10.
Overall: 26.5/30!
Congratulations, Justin you made an outstanding perfume! I will totally repurchase this when I'm finished with it. You girls should go out and buy it, it smells amazing!

Disclaimer: I received this as a gift from my wonderful aunt. Thank you very much! <3 I am in no way trying to brag, I just thought I'd do a review for y'all.

Project Pan!
Hey Beauties!
Today I am going to tell you about my latest project, Project Pan Bath and Body Works Edition. So I have picked 3 products to start with since I do have full sizes ;)
So the first product I want to use up is my Country Chic body mist. I love this scent, it's my favourite as of right now but I don't need full size body mists, I'm going to opt for travel sizes from now on, ha ha.
All right, the second product I want to use up is my Midnight Pomegranate shower gel. This scent is okay, it's not my 'go-to' forte scent though ;)
The final product is my Warm Vanilla Sugar creamy body wash. I love this with all my heart, it smells so good! <3
Project Pan is when you pick some products you want to use up. You cannot buy this product until it is all gone. That is basically a run through.

Review: Clairol Natural Instincts Hair Dye
Hey Beauties! :)
So last night I dyed my hair with Clairol Natural Instincts in 11G, Lightest Golden Brown. My hair is a shade darker and it is a beautiful colour. It feels so healthy, and this hair dye doesn't damage your hair as bad! :)
All right, above is my before picture. Light Brown/Dark Blonde Hair. Yes, I have grey-blue eyes.
The second picture, with my hair dyed. It doesn't really appeal as darker in pictures as it does in real life. Yum, I have just woken up! Wake-y, Wake-y! :)
Review:
Packaging: 9/10
It caught my attention with 'Natural'. And then with the model's picture. It comes neatly packed with all you need; 2 pairs of gloves, conditioner, the dyes and the two week revitaliser!
Smell: 9.5/10
Honestly, this is the best smelling hair dye I've tried yet. It smelt kind of like fruit to me *embarrassed face* and the conditioner is so yummy! <3 I had dyed my Mom's hair two days before and her dye (Nice and Easy Foam) smelt so horrible, I swear if I got any closer it would burn my nose :P
Colour: 8/10
I like it, but I just wish it was a tad bit darker, I want something more noticeable.
Overall: 26.5/30
My hair doesn't feel dry and damaged, it feels soft and silky! <3 I do believe that my hair got a very subtle amount of damage, hardly any from this hair dye. I will continue to use this brand as it comes with many shades :)

Mini Thrift + Drugstore Haul!
Hey Beauties!
Today I went to a local thrift store and Zeller's, which I guess you could count as a drug store ;) For those who don't know, a thrift store is a store with second-hand clothing for cheap and Zeller's is Target's sister. But the thing that really excites me is that all Zeller's stores are being taken over by Target!! :) I'll start with the thrift store. I got 2 things, I guess it just wasn't my day :(
This is one of my favourite shirts! :) It's originally from Blue Notes and it's so cute and feminine! :D It was only $7.99 when it's originally, like $20.
This is my baby <3 It's a hot pink button down shirt from Hollister. It was only $4.99 and it is my favourite shirt. It's so cute and simple and chic! :') Tears of joy, Ha ha.
This is my hair dye. I'm going to be dying my hair tonight. It is the Clairol Natural Instincts in 11G Lightest Golden Brown. My Mom helped pick this out :) I will do a review on it tonight with before and after pics :)
