I remember back when I started blogging and I just found myself doing things purely for 'the blog' or 'the gram' and looking back it's funny now that it's just a part of normal life for me, and probably most bloggers. So here are a few things that I've noticed that I do because of blogging.

- You find your hand cream collection has grown excessively.

- You have a never ending collection of pretty notebooks that you'll never write in.

- You spend hours scrolling through Instagram wondering what you're doing with your life.

- You can't eat out without taking a photo of your food before you begin eating (which is thoroughly annoying for your friends/family apparently).

- You've totally ran out of beauty storage for your never ending beauty purchases/blogger mail.

- You have about six different highlighters on the go at one point.

- You own far too many brushes, of which all of them need a good wash.

- You spend your weekends blogging, rather than watching an entire series on netflix.

- Your phone battery barely lasts until lunch time due to too much social media scrolling.

- You have a folder on your laptop fully dedicated to blogging that you should probably organise.

What blogger traits have you adopted?

Now I didn't know if this meant purely lipsticks, or whether to include lip crayons, liquid lipsticks etc, but I own around 25 lipsticks not including the ones that are in bags or lying around the house.

I think my first lipstick was Rimmel Vintage Pink, which is basically a your lips but better colour and I still use it every now and then if I want a really neutral lip.

Now this one I struggled with, seeing as I own the most MAC lipsticks out of all the lipsticks I have, I guess MAC is my favourite, but I also really like the CK Lipsticks and the Illasmasqua Lipsticks also.  

This was also a difficult one as I wear so many different lip products, but my most worn i've managed to narrow down to three. MAC Rebel, MAC Plumful and CK Fusion.

Now I didn't know about lipstick finishes until I got into blogging, which is where I discovered that I hate matte formula's with a passion. My favourite finishes have to be either Satin or the MAC Amplified as they aren't too drying.

I actually bought three, MAC Plumful, MAC Lustering and Illasmasqua Glissade.

At the moment four, MAC Plumful, MAC Lustering, Revlon 'Raspberry Pie' Lip Butter and my trusty Nivea Lip Butter.

I'm not a big red lip kinda' gal, but if I do want a red lip i'll usually opt for one of my lip crayons. The ones i'm loving is the Revlon Colour Burst 'Striking Spectacular' Matte Balm or the Bourjois Colour Boost 'Red Sunrise' Lip Crayon. If I want a more bold red lip, then i'll go for the Yves Rocher 'Framboise' Lipstick.

At the moment in my Ikea drawer system, but i'm hoping to switch to Muji storage over the coming months.

To be honest i'm not really lusting after any which is a shocker, but I haven't really been browsing as I have no money but knowing me i'll find something soon.

So that is my take on The Lipstick Tag. I don't know who has or hasn't done this tag so I tag everyone and anyone who wants to do it.

I was tagged to do this post by Alexandra from The A Style, and I had also been thinking about doing this tag seeing as a lot of bloggers have been doing this. I love tag posts as it allows you guys to know a little more about the blogger, whilst it also being quite a fun thing to do!

Not too bad, I was expecting it be worse than that but seeing as most of the products I use are from high street brands I wasn't expecting a massive shock. I've included the products that i'd use on a daily basis with my favourite lipstick thrown in there for good measure. I think i'll always be one to splurge on foundation, lipsticks and the occasional blusher but for me skincare is what i'd rather splurge on as your face isn't going to look good no matter how much you spend on it if you don't take care of your skin, in my opinion. I think if I was to redo this tag in a year or two my total would be probably double what it is now ha!

How much is your face worth? Do you use any of these products?

 On my lock screen I have an instragram snap I took when I was in London back in March of the London Eye, Big Ben and The Thames which was one of my favourite days whilst I was in London and I love the picture. I change it quite often normally but it's been like this for a good month or so now.

On my first page is all the apps that I use the most with my Messages, Twitter, Phone and Music on the main bar thingy at the bottom and then things like Instagram, Facebook, Tumblr etc near the top of the first page as well. I'm not one of those people that puts everything in category folders, I just like it to be plain and simple.

 On the second page is just the apps I don't use as often and the bog standard apps like my Settings and then all the Utility apps like Calculator, Maps and Notes are all in a folder so they aren't clogging up space seeing as I hardly ever use them. For some reason my Snapchat is on the page, probably because I couldn't be bothered to reorganise the front page when I downloaded it but I actually use this app a lot, maybe I should move that haha! I also have Unidays which is handy for instore discount, Halifax for on the go banking and eBay, gotta love eBay!

Now onto my favourite/most used apps!

 First up is Instagram, probably my favourite app! I love Instagram it's like a life story in cute edited picture form and no i'm not one of those #tagforlikes twats, god I hate when I see about 100 hashtags on one picture (no offence) but I do admit I do hashtag when I feel appropriate.

My next favourite app is Twitter, god I am a twitter addict! I feel sorry for all of you who follow me because I can rant when I put my mind to it, but I also love it because it's so much easier to keep up with my friends and also connecting with fellow bloggers without a heap of info you don't need to know haha!

 Next app is Tumblr, I only got a Tumblr about a year ago but I have full on got into it. I could literally sit on it for hours reblogging anything that has caught my eye or brings me some sort inspiration. I normally use this app only when i'm not on my laptop or i'm bored on my lunch break.. it's a time passing app thats for sure!

 Now I wouldn't say Facebook is one of my favourite apps but I do go on it everyday to have a nose to see what people are up to but I hardly ever post anything unless it's pictures from a night out or i've checked in at a gig or something like that. I do like to also use Facebook chat to keep in touch with people but I normally use the Messenger app rather than the Facebook app as it's easier.
Last but not least, Snapchat! I was somewhat peer pressured into getting Snapchat but i'm kind of glad I did because it is a fun app and I do end up laughing out loud in public a lot thanks to this app and my friends beautiful faces (not, haha). I do also use it as a form of communication sometimes but i'm kind of going off snapchat at the moment, maybe i'll rekindle my love for it soon.

So that is my iPhone! From doing this blog post i've realised how boring my iPhone really is, but I find it pointless having apps that I never use clogging up space and memory that could be used for other things like music seeing as I do have a lot of music on my iPhone.

Hope you enjoyed this post and I hope you are all well!
