Hi everyone,

Happy Birthday to my Dad! L is for...

Itsatashathing: Autumn favourites so far (collab with The-Finer Things In Life)

Hi everyone,

So it's time for my monthly collaboration with the lovely Dion from The-Finer Things In Life! We have decided to do our Autumn favourites.

So, so far this Autumn my favourites have been:

M.A.C cosmetics Matchmaster SPF 15 foundation:

Matchmaster foundation

I know I have mentioned this as a holy grail makeup item in a previous blog post and it truly is. It's one of the only foundations I can get to match my skin tone (shade 1.0). Not only that, the coverage is amazing! It's buildable as well. It starts of as a medium coverage but it's super easy to build it up to a full coverage foundation. They are a little pricey at £29 a bottle but it's worth every penny.

Up next is the Bobbi Brown blush in Pale Pink:

Bobbi Brown: Pale pink blush

I have recently rekindled my love for this little blush. It's in the shade Pale Pink and again flatters my skin tone well. It gives me a subtle wash of colour on my cheeks and looks so natural. It has a slight shimmer to it but is mostly matte. These are £19.50 and again is so worth it.

Pale Pink

My next favourite is M.A.C Cosmetics mineralize Skinfinish in Soft & Gentle:

Mineralize Skinfinish: Soft & Gentle

I know there are many reviews about these and I only recently purchased my first one. There are worth the hype and the £24. It is honestly the best highlighter I have used so far and I'm really sad that I have only just joined the hype. It's amazingly pretty and you can put as little or as much as you want on to create your desired look. It gives my skin the perfect glow to chase those cold days away.

My last beauty favourite is the Avon Solutions Truly Radiant daily moisturiser SPF 15:

Truly Radiant moisturiser

I couldn't find this moisturiser online sadly so it must be discontinued, however, they do have a Solutions Hydra beyond moisturiser at £3.75. It's a lovey moisturiser, very lightweight and I have really noticed a difference in how my skin looks. My skin seems to have a bit more of a glow to it. I absolutely love Avon products and they are amazing value for money.

I also have two non-beauty related favourites.

The first one is Galaxy smooth milk chocolate:

I have been loving this for a couple of weeks now. I have always liked Galaxy chocolate, in particular the cookie crumble bar. It's been a favourite of my boyfriends as well, so we've been buying the big bars to share.

My final favourite is a Netflix program. I am loving Reign! I won't say much about it other than I find it so gripping. I really recommend it, sadly there's only 3 series and I am on the last one.

What's your Autumn favourite at the moment?

Itsatashathing: #Blogtober16 Day 1: Who are you?

Hi everyone,

So I've bitten the bullet and decided to take part in Hex Mum Blogs #Blogtober16! Now as you know I'm not used to posting everyday. So I thought I'd give it ago.

Post agenda for the week

Day one is to write about who you are. I know my first ever post was an all about me but hey, it's blogtober and things change (well not to much) and there may be new people reading this (if you are new hi and welcome to my blog, it's a lovely place).

So My name is Tasha and I'm a 20 year old self-confessed shopaholic and Mum-to-Be from Greater London/Kent. I'm also a natural blonde.

I love a Selfie: Meet me!

I was born further down south but a year and a half ago I met my lovely boyfriend on none other Instagram. He lived with me for a while and then I moved into live with him.

I did okay in school and went onto sixth form college where I studied the CACHE level 3 diploma in childcare and education. Although college taught me a lot I feel I have learnt more working in settings.

I started my blogging journey in May this year and I'm pretty happy with my blog right now. I started blogging because I loved reading others blogs and reading their opinions. So I thought why not put my own twist into the blogging world and start my own.

As I mentioned above I am going to be a Mummy! Writing this post I am exactly 31 weeks pregnant. I am due in December and we found out we are having a little girl! My boyfriend and I cannot wait to meet her.

Our baby girl!

I am a massive hoarder of make-up and clothes. I don't have a specific style, if I like it I'll get it. I like any make-up high street to high end. Same goes with clothes I love the likes of Armani but then again you can't beat a good Primark haul.

I've also just thought I don't like thunder and lighting as I'm sat here without my boyfriend and a storm starts *grabs the duvet, a teddy and hides*. On the subject of fears I'm also scared of lifts and candles (the candle thing I am very sad about, as long as they're not lit all is good. So you could say it's fire I'm scared of).

I don't have any major hobbies but I love to read and bake. When it comes to cooking dinners I'm better at the hearty homemade meals like stews and not to blow my own trumpet but I'm a pretty good baker (especially cakes). Maybe one day I will be able to share a few of my creations with you.

My perfect idea of spending my evenings (weekdays or weekends), is grabbing a blanket, some nibbles (a mixture of savoury and sweet), cuddling up with my boyfriend and watching TV or a good film.

I am big Harry Potter fan. I have been to the Warner Brothers studio tour twice before but I am hoping to go back to the tour for my birthday in January when it will still be all Christmassy.

I think that's about everything. I hope you enjoyed my first post of #blogtober16.

Itsatashathing: Would you rather beauty tag

Hi everyone,

I thought I'd do another tag today. I love doing these and I always love to read them, so here goes.

1.Would you rather go out with messy hair and nice make-up or Nice hair and no make-up?

A: I think I would rather go out with nice hair and no make-up. I can never get my hair right so if this was the one opportunity I'd have to have perfect hair, I'd take it.

2.Would you rather shave your eyebrows or have your eyelashes fall out?

A: I think have my all my eyelashes fall out. I'd just where fake ones to make up for not having them.

3.Would you rather be forced to shop at only MAC or Sephora for the rest of your life?

A: I'd pick MAC as we don't have Sephora in the UK. 

4.Would you rather wear lipgloss/lipliner look or 80's perm?

A: I think I'd go for 80's perm as I've always wanted curly hair.

5.Would you rather leave the house with an obvious foundation line or overdone blush?

A: This is difficult! I'm just going to go with overdone blush. I don't know why but I think I'd rather that than a obvious foundation line.

6.Would you rather wear MC Hammer pants or biker shorts in public?

A: I'm going to go MC Hammer pants to save everyone from my translucent legs.

7.Would you rather have a bad orange-y spray tan or really weird tan lines that can't be covered?

A: I think I'd rather the weird tan lines. I don't really fake tan so it's hard for me to choose. 

8.Would you rather have a bad haircut or bad hair color?

A: Bad haircut. I've never coloured my hair before so I'd rather go with the haircut.

9.Would you rather have youtube or twitter taken away forever?

A: Probably the hardest question in this tag. I'm going to go with Twitter. I'd still have Facebook so that makes up for that but nothing really makes up for YouTube.

10. Would you rather give up using make-up brushes or mascara? 

A: I'm going to go with giving up using make-up brushes. I don't think I could live without using mascara.

Hope you enjoyed reading this. If you have a go yourself leave a link below so I can have a read of what you would rather.

It's a Tasha Thing: a fresh start!

Hi,

Feeling I neglected my last blog, I feel it's time to set up a new one and start something that I am going to stick at. I'm going to kick things of with a little bit about me:

Name: Tasha

Height: 5' nothing 

Hair Colour: blonde

Eye colour: blue

Interests/hobbies: I am a crazy make up and beauty hoarder. If I see something I like chances are I'm going to pick it up and put it in my basket. I like reading (any genre), watching films (again any genre) and trying out new makeup looks and trends. 

This blog will be the same as my old one about beauty, makeup and life. I hope you enjoy :)
