I got tagged by Andrea from Colour Your Life in a little game with questions; it's basically 10 questions about your favourite Summer things! I enjoyed reading Andrea's answers to it and since I had a bit of time I decided to immediately type a blog post about it myself :D
So here goes!
1. What is your favourite lipstick this Summer?
I don't wear make-up very often (unless for parties or special occasions, or if I look particularly tired) because I'm always worried I'm going to smudge my mascara or that my lipstick will be smeared out over my cheek or something, so I don't really have a favourite lipstick. I do have a favourite colour for lipstick: red! Even though I don't wear it very often, I love seeing red lipstick on other people :) I mostly just wear some pink-ish or red-ish lipgloss or lip balm.
2. What is your favourite polish this Summer?
Ooh, hard question! I really like bright colours in Summer. But I suppose that I have worn Essie's Urban Jungle the most out of all my polishes this Summer. Urban Jungle is not really a Summer colour though!
Urban Jungle in my chevron with unicorn design! You can see the blog post here. |
Urban Jungle with roses and Shimmer Polish Tammy! You can read the blog post about it here. |
3. What is your favourite swim wear for this Summer?
I haven't gone swimming once this Summer! I don't really like swimming pools - there's something about the wet ground and the wet walls and the wet everything that really makes my skin tingle with uneasiness. I'm not sure why though, as I love to swim once I'm in the pool itself! I mostly wear a bikini though, to just answer the question :)
4. What is your favourite frappucino from Starbucks?
Haha, this is such a specific question after the previous ones! I don't go to Starbucks very often (my boyfriend always drags me there though) so I haven't tasted a lot of their drinks yet. I do really like the ones I had so far - the best frappucino was either my caramal machiato frappucino (jum caramel!) or the banana frappucino I had (which was sort of a banana milkshake).
5. What is your favourite self tanner?
None! I don't self tan at all. I look pale though, I'm the blonde pale type of person that doesn't get very tanned even though she stayed in the sun all day long. But I quite like my paliness :D (is that a word?) I'm also quite worried that if I start sweating, the tan spray would run down my legs or arms and I would get these odd orange lines everywhere!
6. What is your favourite Summer song?
I immediately have to think about Don't from Ed Sheeran - they're constantly playing it on the radio now and it's so catchy! I love it. But I also like poppy songs from Train, for example - they're very Summery to me :)
7. What is your favourite Summer accsesory?
Is sunscreen a valid accessory for Summer? Otherwise I pick sunglasses, they're totally valid! :D
8. What is your favourite Summer perfume?
I don't switch perfumes in Winter or Summer, and I only wear one perfume until the bottle is empty and then I go out and buy a different one, so the one I'm using right now is a flower-y one by Yves Rocher called Cherry Bloom.

9. What is your favourite Summer book?
I'm reading Paul Auster's New York Trilogy right now (I'm currently at Ghosts) so I suppose that would be the one :D On the one hand it's typical for Summer reading: a detective story. But on the other hand, it's totally strange, nothing really happens in the story, and there's no real excitement (you can only really understand what I mean when you've read Auster yourself because it's so odd). I love it!

10. What do you want to do the most this Summer?
I want to have a few more days off from work to relax. I have a Summer job as a student, and I've been working a lot the past month. It's fun, but I want to have a few days to just be able to relax before school begins again. I want to go visit an animal parc if I have the time, go to the movies, and just go and eat some vegetarian sushi with my boyfriend :) (we're both vegetarians) So nothing special really, just have a nice quiet time before I have to follow classes and do assignments again at University!
Tadaam! That's it, the questions are over! I'm supposed to tag 4 people now I believe, so here goes: I'd love to read the answers from the lovely Franzi from Frankie Hunters Nails, Jayna from The Sequined Nail, Emily from Nailsxo and Lucy from The Nail Snail. Anyone else who wants to share in the Summer tag fun can definitely join in too!
I hope you liked reading my answers :) Thanks!
