25. What is your favorite lipstick? Rimmel London Colour Show Off - Love Me 130. 
26. How about lip gloss? I don't like lip gloss personally so I don't wear it.

29. Do you like drug store make up? Yes, it's the only make up I use. 
30. Did you ever consider taking make up classes? I would love too, I just don't know where to go that's not so expensive. 
31. Are you clumsy in putting on make up? Not really 
32. Name a make up crime that you hate? Using the wrong colour foundation. I hate it when I see girls with really pale skin and bright orange foundation with that thick foundation line around their jaw, ugh.
33. Do you like colourful shades of eyeshadow/lipstick or neutral ones? I prefer neutral as I think it suits me better, but I don't mind colourful shades either (depending).
34. Which celebrity always has great make up? Cheryl Cole for me :) 
35. If you had to leave the house using just one make up item, what would you use? Foundation! 
36. Could you ever leave the house with no make up on? As much as I hate it, I do tend to sometimes. I once went all the way in to town, shopping... with my boyfriend with no make up on because he dared me to do so. It was horrible, I was so self-conscious but since then, I've felt better about doing so. Just sometimes, when I cba to do it or my skin needs a break from it :) 
37. Do you think you look good without make up on? No haha that's what being self conscious does to you :(  
38. In your opinion, what is the best make up line? Rimmel London. 
39. What do you think of make up? I love it; but it depends. I wouldn't want to see a 7 year old girl wearing make up but I think when you hit being a teenager it sort of becomes 'acceptable' to wear it. Also, if you have perfect skin then why should you cover it up with make up? You shouldn't. I use it to make myself look better, not worse. If I had perfect skin, then I wouldn't use it at all but unfortunately I'm not that lucky :( 
40. At what age was you, when you started wearing make up? ooh erm, start of year 7 I think! so when I was about 11-12 years old.

I saw the Queen, The Queen saw meeeee.

Hi girlies! 

Yesterday (10/07/2014) myself, and many others had the privilege of seeing the Queen & the Duke of Edinburgh in Matlock, Derbyshire. 

Sadly, I didn't get chance to meet her in person but I got a pretty close look at her when she drove past in the Royal Car surrounded by security (who were btw, gorgeous).  

I never dreamed of being able to stand within a few metres of her, so I was super excited to make it come true. It was an immense experience which I would love to re-live again. 

To make things even more exciting for me, it was the first time I'd taken out Lola (our new puppy/dog). I don't think she really knew what was going off, but it didn't stop her from getting excited herself. 

So anyway, we started off the day by driving to Cromford. We parked up, and had a lovely stroll down to Matlock Bath.

We then sat and chilled for a bit whilst waiting for the Queen to arrive. Lola started to get a bit warm, so we was forced to stand in the shade for the majority of the journey (which we didn't mind). As we waited, a ton of people started to line up against the side of the road. I just loved seeing all the school kids with their little flags.

 

 

After she'd gone past us, I was super excited and couldn't stop singing "I saw The Queen, The Queen saw meee" which did in fact drive my family crazy! 

We then began walking back to the car, although my sister got a little lazy so we stayed behind whilst my mum went to fetch the car. We decided to go down to Matlock in which we saw even more people standing on the side of the road. We figured that she'd be returning soon, and decided to stick around and wait for her. 

After all of the excitement we went for a walk round Matlock. It was a lovely day, around 26c. We went for an Ice cream and took some family pictures! (which I look really weird on, I one of those girls that just doesn't look right on photo's).
