♡ A Few of My Favourite Things Tag ♡
Hey guys
So today's post isn't in the normal format. It's normally in writing. But today I did something big. I filmed a video. That isn't really a big thing for me because I film a lot of videos. Because it's something I love. But normally, I don't upload them. In fact, this is the first time. I was scared to upload this because my mum said it was dangerous. So, what I did to try and please everyone is i filmed the video and then uploaded it as unlisted. Basically, it won't appear on anyone else's youtube or come up when they search, but you guys can watch it by clicking on the link. I hope you guys are happy with this, I hope that one day I can properly upload.
Here's the video: http://youtu.be/AX3ytrAhB8Y
Hope you guys enjoy it

September Favourites
Hey guys
So it's finally October! I am so excited for fall (I am english but I have been watching too many YouTube videos so I call it fall.) So I have been loving a lot in fall but I don't really have any makeup favourites as I have been too busy starting school to try out any new makeup :(( I have some bath and body stuff and some random stuff. Hope you guys enjoy it :))
So my first favourite is the simple facial cleansing wipes. These are great for me because first of all they have two uses: moisturising, washing and cleansing your face and removing makeup. That's actually four uses which proves they are great. They are also good because they don't hurt my skin. I have very sensitive skin and the normal boots makeup wipes don't cut it but these are great because they actually make my face feel better instead of worse.
My next favourite is the nicest smelling thing ever. It is from the brand Original Souce and it is the Vanilla and Raspberry shower gel💖the scent of this is very sweet and girly and you can kind of tell it smells of vanilla so it might not be for everyone, but personally I love it! They also have so many other scents so if you don't like this one, there will be at least one you like! Also, it feels really moisturising and makes your skin feel great so it is a great shower gel and I will definitely repurchase it once it runs out.
My next favourite is a shampoo and conditioner duo. I have used this for literally years and it just makes my hair feel amazing, so soft and makes my hair shine and feel so healthy! I have tried switching to other shampoos and conditioners but they have never made my hair feel as good so I have always come back to these. They are from The Body Shop and they are the Rainforest Shine shampoo and conditioner. I just love these guys, okay!? P.S. I had run out of the conditioner and need to get some more but here is the conditioner...
Onto my random favourites :))
My music favourites this month have been again from my two favourite artists who I absolutely love a lot! i.e. Ed Sheeran and Troye Sivan. These two are the cutest, best singers ever. OMG IF THEY MADE A SONG TOGETHER I WOULD DIE THAT WOULD BE SO PERFECT <333 My favourite songs from Ed Sheeran are, as well as the ones I mentioned in my last favourites, I'm A Mess and Nina. My favourite from Troye Sivan would be really hard as I love all the songs in the EP but it would probably be Gasoline it's the cutest most beautiful song I have ever heard! I don't have a spotify playlist this month as I have literally been listening to these two and the Matilda soundtrack. That's probably something you guys don't know about me but Matilda is my favourite musical I love the songs and the characters and I sing them literally all the time...

Since iOS8 came out, I got the podcast app which at first was useless but then I realised that I could listen to Tyler Oakleys podcast Pyschobabble which I love it's just like another video except, a lot longer and with korey so that can't be bad it's just so funny - I definitely recommend it if you love Tyler or the youtubers :))
In the month of September I have carried on my simpsons obsession - me and my brother have watched it together for years and it's still so funny - it's just perfect in every way!
Another two shows I have been loving are Wolfblood and The Next Step. They're both on cbbc and first of all, I just want to say they are not like lots of the babyish shows on cbbc, they are more teen shows:)). So Wolfblood is about a pretty girl and a really cute boy who are both Wolfbloods, but they're not monsters and they are pretending to be just normal humans. It's now series 3 and its a thrilling exciting comedy. I don't know why, but I think of it as kind of like Vampire Diaries even though I've never watched it. The Next Step is about a group of dancers who all have very different opinions and personalities when it comes to dance. I love it because I love dance and watching the dance on the show, and it's funny and has great storylines. It was first broadcast in Canada but they are just playing it all on cbbc.
Another two random favourites I have are apps. The first app is Feature Points which I heard a Youtuber I really like called floral princess (I will put her link in here somewhere) talk about where basically you get points for downloading and trying out new apps and you can save up your points and get free apps, pay pal gift cards, Amazon and starbucks gift cards. Oh yeah, and you can also get Xbox and iTunes gift cards. By the way, if you download it using the link I have put here you will get 50 points to start off with.

My other favourite app is Closet Remix which is basically where you take pictures of all the clothes in your wardrobe and your followers can style outfits for you so it is just really good for if you are stuck for what to wear.
https://appsto.re/gb/NA66U.i
I am excited for my fashion favourites ;))
My first favourite is these leggings which I have probably worn in ootds last fall but they are leopard/spotty grey and black print with fake zip pockets and I just love them so much - they're so comfy but they look so cute and they go with everything! They are from H&M but they were from last years stock so they won't have them but I will link some similar ones if I can find them. Also just patterned leggings in general are amazing for fall.
My next fall fashion favourite is scarves because they are so cute and warm and just add a pop (sometimes a pop of colour and sometimes a pop of monochrome) to your outfit.
I don't want to keep you guys for too long so I'm going to stop now - I hope you guys enjoyed. Btw my new regular upload day is Tuesday at the moment. Love youss!

5 Cute Fall Nail Polishes
Hey guys
So today I am going to show you 5 cute nail polishes which are great for fall. So I have some drugstore ones and some more expensive ones. Btw this is not sponsored all of these were brought with my own money, gifted to me or I borrowed from my mum😂.
So the first one is from Max Factor. I think it sells for about £4 but tbh it was a present so idk. It is the Max Effect Mini Nail Polish and it's in the cutest colour: number 45 fantasy fire.
The next one is the Leighton Denny nail polish. These sell for £12 which is a lot I know but it's worth it. The name of the shade is literally best seller!
The next colour is kind of similar and it is Clarins shade 10 Burgandy.
The next is so cute for fall it's a silvery lilacy pearly colour it is from Maval and it is 29 Glasgow. It sells for around £4.50 depending on where you buy it from.
The last one is a drugstore one and it is Rimmel Lasting Finish in 198 Azure. These sell for around £3.

Sorry this wasn't the best post.

July Favourites
Hey guys
Some lip products I have been loving are from Clarins and they are the Instant Light Natural Lip Perfectors. They are great because they are moisturising and they last a long time but they provide a pigmented wash of colour. Depending on how much you put on, they can be quite sheer or they can be quite noticeable. The picture you are about to see is the shade 01 and I also have the shade 03 which is a nice nude.
So July is over! It went so quickly! I am so excited for August. Well mostly because it's a whole month without school!
Here are some of my favourites (beauty and random) from July.
Beauty:
So my first favourite is only a foil packet that I got from a magazine but I am loving it. It is the Neutrogena deep moisture body lotion. It is so moisturising and is amazing for face or body!
My next favourite which I rave about all the time is the Nivea Hydro Care lip balm. It is so moisturising and if you get dry or chapped lips I guarantee this will sort it! It's soooooo good and I don't know what I would do without it. It also works really well if you put it under your eyes at night and it helps clear dark circles. RECOMMEND THIS 1000%!
Another thing which I think I have raved about before is the eyeliners from Seventeen. They apply so smoothly and are so pigmented they are amazing! The picture below is just the nudey/gold and the black.
A nail varnish I have been loving is the one I have on right now and was mentioned in my outfit of the day. It is the Rimmel 60 Seconds nail polish in 405 Rose Libertine. It is such a pretty pinky peachy colour and they apply easily, have a big brush, don't chip very easily and they do dry quickly. Not in 60 seconds but quicker than most nail polishes.
Here are my random favourites.
Music:
One song that I have been really loving is Happy Little Pill by TRXYE. AKA Troye Sivan. I have been a fan of him for quite a while and I am so proud of him and I can't wait for his album to come out on 15th of August.
I have also been loving the new Ed Sheeran album X. My favourite songs are Sing, Don't and Photograph. One is also amazing! I think his songs are so amazing and he has an amazing voice. He's mine by the way!!
Here is a link to my most listened to spotify playlist:
TV Shows:
Okay so I hardly ever watch proper TV but I always watch 4OD & BBC iPlayer and things. I am so desparate to get Netflix but it's so expensive!
My two favourite shows are both on Channel 4 so they are quite easy to get hold of. (I have another favourite TV show but it's quite rude so I'm not going to mention it).
I have been loving The 100 - its so gripping and it's a bit like the Hunger Games to me. I just love it!
Another show I have been loving a lot is New Girl. It's really funny and is easy to watch. If I'm ever bored I will just watch it!
Films:
This month I haven't watched very many films but one I did watch, well rewatch, is Mean Girls. It is one of my number one favourite films and is funny and amazing. I know all the quotes from it and could watch it 10000 more times and still not be bored of it!
Other Weird Stuff:
My favourite food recently is OREOS! If you don't like Oreos, I might have to cry! They are just so yummy (and unhealthy but oh well.)
My favourite drink recently is from a local cafe called Basil and it was an Oreo Milkshake.
My favourite shop recently has been New Look because me and my friend had no money but we went in their and found at least 10 things each that we absolutely loved! There was one thing that I loved so much I went hyper which I am definitely going to buy next time I go into a new look. It was a tank top and it was tribal/aztec print and I think the main colour was purple.
My last favourite is THE SUMMER!! I am so excited for the summer and hopefully some sun! Comment down below what summer themed posts you would like to see and also if you guys want me to do a back to school series. Love you lots!

Outfit of The Day - 01/08
Hey guys
I AM SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SORRY FOR NOT HAVING POSTED IN SUCH A LONG TIME. I WILL NOW FOR THE REST OF MY HOLIDAYS AT LEAST TRY AND POST ONCE A WEEK, IF NOT MORE. I think I will be posting another post after this one to try and make up for it! I know I shouldn't be coming up with excuses but I have been a bit depressed lately and not myself so I haven't wanted to do anything other than stay at home on my electronics or see my friends.
Hope you can forgive me!
It was my brothers birthday today so we went out for Spanish tapas for lunch.
This is what I wore:
Sorry but I had to blur out my face for privacy reasons. I will soon be able to not do this hopefully.
I just wore an off white shirt with lace detailing and a pocket at the side from H&M...
...I paired this with a cute black skater skirt which I think is a perfect summer staple and I can't live without. I got mine from New Look but you can get them from pretty much anywhere, in different colours and designs.
I love this outfit because it is cute and casual but at the same time, it's quite formal and pretty.
Then, for my nails, I added a pop of colour by painting them a nice pinky (a little bit peachy) colour. This is from the Rimmel 60 Seconds Line and it's in the shade 405 Rose Libertine.

Common White Girl Tag
Hey guys
Today I am going to attempt to do the common white girl tag.
Before I start, I just want to say some people may find the name of this tag offensive but I personally think it should just be called the teen tag or something like that because guys like Starbucks and twitter too and so do all different races!
Anyways...
1. Favourite Starbucks drink? In the summer and the hotter seasons, my favourite drink is the Caramel Creme Blend and, in winter or the colder seasons, either the Caramel Hot Chocolate or the Orange Hit Chocolate as - if you guys didn't know, I don't like coffee.
2. How long does it take you or get ready in the morning? Depends what I’m doing. For school, I have an hour to get ready; of which I have about 45 minutes for my hair, makeup, uniform and the rest of the time for breakfast and other things.. At the weekend, I take anywhere from half an hour to a couple of hours to get ready!
3. How many selfies do you take on a daily basis? I don't take selfies every single day but when I do (which is most days), I take from about 1-10!
4. How many IG followers and pics do you have? Okay so first of all, I don't give out my personal instagram but, as I said in my last post I have made a public one:
But I thought I should say that on my personal IG I have 879 posts and 236 followers. Not that impressive but a lot better than the public one!
5. Do you ever say LOL or OMG out loud? I say lol occasionally if a friend is in an awkward situation, but I hardly ever say OMG.
6. Do you wear the same clothing item more than once? Yes! I don't see the point in buying something, wearing it once then just never wearing ur again and leaving it to rot :) lmao couldn't think of a better word... I also have staple pieces that I wear all the time - literally!
7. Are you racist? Noooooo!! Why is this even a question? I think racism is wrong and that people shouldn't judge people by the colour of their skin, but by their personality. Go listen to Martin Luther King's speech :P
8. How many tweets do you have? I haven't had twitter for that long but I have 292 tweets :) here is a link to my twitter - go follow me!
http://twitter.com/misselliesugg
9. Instagram, Twitter or Tumblr? Well tumblr is out of the question because I don't even have tumblr! It would be between twitter and instagram but I spend half my life on instagram whereas I only go on twitter about once a day. Instagram is the winner!
10. What do you spend most of your time doing? I probably spend most of my time on the internet. Apart from school and homework, I spend most of my time either hanging out with my friends or, if I can't actually be there with them, face timing them! I also spend a lot of my time acting and cheerleading...
11. Who are your favourite youtubers? Well, I love loads but here are my top 5:
12. How often do you do your nails? Well, we're not allowed to wear nail varnish to school, but when it's not school, I do them about once or twice a week, depending on how chipped or unchipped they are.
13. Are you a shopaholic? No, not really. I mean I go shopping a lot and I buy quite a few things but I don't have enough money to go on massive spending sprees or anything like that.
14. How many times have you watched Mean Girls? Once, so far. And I loved it so I will definitely be watching it again!
This video is so funny 😂😂
15. Do you own a lot of clothes? I own quite a lot but not loads. I own enough.
16. Do you take pictures of your food before you eat it? Um, sometimes. If I can remember and I want to because it looks pretty, then yeah.
17. Do you wear makeup everyday? No, I don't. I'm quite new to makeup so I don't wear makeup everyday, and on a day to day basis, if I do wear makeup, I will just wear concealer, eyeliner and mascara. Not all of them all the time though.
18. What are your average grades in school. We don't get grades.
19. How do you usually style your hair? I like having it down and sleek and straight or quite often I plait my hair when it is wet at night and in the morning take out the plaits to get some nice curls, then pop my hair up into a nice volumised high ponytail, messy but pretty. Or, if I'm having a bad hair day and I can't be bothered to do anything with it I just do a really quick side plait, it literally takes a minute.
20. Do you always look presentable? Nooooooooooooooooo! I don't! I spend most of my time in a tank top and some cosy pyjama bottoms.

Miniature Haul
Hey guys
Here is am extra mid-week post for you all...
So on Tuesday me and my friends went shopping and I got a few things which I am going to tell you about!
So the first thing I got was the book The Fault in Our Stars. I got this because everyone has been recommending it and then the trailer for the movie came out! 
I can't wait to read it - it sounds really good!
Trailer:
The next thing I got is from H&M and it is a tank top. Now, you're not going to believe this but I only own one tank top in the whole of my wardrobe and summer is coming up so I thought I should get a few! I only ended up getting one but there were quite a few that I liked and I have been liking the one that I got so I will probably go back and get more!
It is just pink and it says LIVE BY THE SUN LOVE BY THE MOON in cool lettering.
Hehe obsessed :)
And the last thing I got was just a pack of gum. It is the Extra Strawberry Sugarfree Gum which is very nice, but it loses it's flavour quite quickly. I am veeeery fussy about mint gum but one that I do really like is I think it is Extra Ice Sugarfree Bubblegum with the white and pinky bubbly weird packaging? I do not know anything about gum! :)
Included a picture to remind me to tell you guys that I made a public instagram acc which is @beautygirlblog99 plz follow me to get the latest on new blog posts.

Product Review - Batiste Dry Shampoo
Hey guys
First of all I just want to say sorry for this being up late as I had written it at the weekend ready to post it on Tuesday and I just completely forgot - sorry!
So the product I will be reviewing today is a hair product and it is the Batiste Dry Shampoo in the scent Floral & Flirty blush.
This product claims it is 'perfect to use between washes.' It also claims to revitalise hair, remove any excess grease, makes your hair feel gorgeously clean and fresh and to add body, texture and volume.
To be honest, I think it does do all of this - as well as making your hair smell really good! To quickly sum it up, it is amazing! It is easy to use, makes your hair feel sooooo soft and fresh and like you've just washed it and volumises it a lot! I use this almost every day and I definitely recommend it! The only negative thing I have to say about it is that if you have really dark hair and you spray loads and loads on, it can come out white on your hair, but that is not very often and doesn't put me off using it. It comes in lots of different scents and, if you do find it showing up on your hair a problem, even 'Hint of Colour' versions to match your hair colour.
Buy them at batistehair.com or from Boots, Superdrug or any local shop - I got mine from my local Cooperative!
