25 Facts about Abbie!


25 facts about me...

This is going to be a bit more of a personal post so you can get to know me better and Alicia will also be doing the same soon. We have put together 25 (ish) questions which we are going to answer for you. Enjoy!..
Name: Abbie Lauren
Birthday: 28th January 1998
Eye colour: Blue
Hair colour: Blonde

Dream job? Since I was little I'v always wanted to be a dancer and iv danced since i was 3, but now I would like to be something to do with fashion like a fashion journalist.
Last concert you went to? On 13th May 2013 I went to see 5 Seconds of Summer at the Birmingham O2 Academy 2. We were so close and they were amazing! 

Cant see Ashton :(
 (No zoom,  my photo)
Favourite item of clothing? I love my 'Aa' t-shirt from American Apparel because it's so comfortable and can be dressed up with a black skirt or down with leggings. I also love to dance in it because it's baggy and comfortable.

Favourite make up product? I love mascara. I have so many and honestly don't know what I'd do without it (sad i know). My 2 favourites are probably Bad Gal Lash by Benefit and Super Enchant by Avon.

Favourite nail polish? My 2 favourite nail polishes are Flirty by Angelica and Mint Candy Apple by Essie. You can read about those and 3 more in my previous post HERE! 


Favourite movie? I LOVE MOVIES! My favourite series' probably the 4 Step Up films and the 3 High School Musicals (i was obsessed...). My favourite film of all time is probably Madeline and I could probably recite it word for word, along with 13 going on 30, is that sad?.. Zac Efron is probably my favourite actor so 17 again has to be a favourite and Miley Cyrus is just well Miley Cyrus, how can you not like her so LOL is definitely a film i would recommend. Also, its not in the picture but The Hunger Games is AMAZING and i cant wait until the second film comes out in November :)

Ever met a Celebrity? Who? When i went to see 5 Seconds of Summer in May i met Mazzi Maz! If you don't know who Maz is, he is a YouTuber (you can find his channel HERE!) and Liam Payne of One Directions friend. He was so nice even though he was getting mobbed by about 600 teenage girls and stopped for a hug and picture with everyone. 

Please note Michael had just thrown water on us which is why
my hair and  make up look so amazingly good
Favourite City? As great as Birmingham is for shopping id probably say the best city that iv been to is London. Everything about being there is just great! Iv seen 3 shows on the west end which are all just spectacular as are the shops. I also like to be a real tourist and have been to Big Ben and the London Eye every time Iv visited the capital. 

Some where you really want to visit? America. I would love to go to any part of America because from the TV and YouTube it just looks amazing and Americans have the best accent... I'm trying to persuade my parents that I need to go for my 16th birthday next year, lets just say its going to take a lot more than making drinks and walking the dog! 

Favourite holiday? I'm lucky enough to have been on holiday almost every year since i was just 6 months old and i have been to Euro Disney twice. I love all things Disney and when i went last August i felt  like i was about 5 again and me and brother actually managed to get along for a whole week! That place really is magical! It has an amazing atmosphere from the minute you step through the gates and both when i was 7 and last year when i was 14 i have been left speechless by Sleeping Beautys Castle, my mom also said the first time I went I couldn't stop crying when I saw the castle and met the characters.

Favourite book? At the minute I am reading The Perks of Being A Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky and it is definitely a book i would recommend if anyone is looking for a summer read and I really want to see the film now. I also really like The Confessions Of A Teenage Drama Queen and the first and second Hunger Games books but i'm yet to read the third.

Favourite quote? I have a little book with all my favourite quotes in so i cant possibly chose just one! Here is just a few;
'Practice as if your the worst, Perform as if your the best'- Anon
'Sometimes bad things fall apart so better things can fall together'- Marilyn Monroe
'Those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind'- Dr.Seuss
'Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game' A Cinderella Story
'If your dreams don't scare you they aren't big enough'- Megan & Liz


If you could move to another country, were would you move to? I wouldn't want to live in another country unless i was born there or lives there since i was little because i'm not good with big changes like that. However, for the purpose of this post i would like to move somewhere that speaks English and is hot like Australia or America
.
Last book you read? As boring as it sounds, the last book i finished was Of Mice and Men for English at school. But before that it was Confessions of A Teenage Drama Queen by Dylan Sheldon.

Favourite memory? In June 2012 i went on a school trip to Venice in Italy with my year. All my friends were there and we had an amazing week in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. The whole week was amazing and i cant really pick out 1 thing. The worst part though was that we went on a coach so it took almost 32 hours!! Somehow Alicia managed to get me to attempt to swim too! (She must have some kind of magic powers seriously!)





Pets? I have a dog called Billy. He is a 2 year old tri colour King Charles Cavalier Spaniel. It took a lot of persuading until my dad finally gave in and got him so we let my dad  name him, he was called Billy after Wolves player Billy Wright. If we had a girl dog she would have been called Mollie after the Molienux Stadium. 

Injuries? Iv danced since I was 3 so iv had my fair share of minor injuries but touch wood iv never done anything like broken a bone. I'm pretty sure iv pulled and torn muscles i didn't even know i had but i have only ever had 1 that stopped me dancing for a while which was about a year ago when i tore my hamstring... nice one Abbie!

Fears? My biggest fears are; water, mainly because i cant swim, fire, science lessons with a bunsen burner are not fun, flying, although i really want to go to America, Small spaces, heights, roller coasters and insects... not much then!

Fanbase? Why are they your idol(s)? I'm a proud Directioner and have been since 2010 when i saw the boys on The  X Factor. Though I love all of the boys I'd say the one who is more an idol to me is Liam Payne. Liam is from Wolverhampton like me and its nice to see someone from a similar background do so well for himself. Liam also auditioned for The X Factor in 2009 before being sent home by Simon Cowell at judges houses. This just shows that if you really want something and you stick at it you can succeed as Liam shows by now being 1/5 of the worlds biggest boy band. I have been lucky enough to see One Direction in concert twice and seeing Liam, with Niall, Harry, Zayn and Louis on stage in front of Liams home crowd and seeing how happy he is makes me feel like anything is possible. :) i don't think that could have been any more cheesy if i tried oh dear...

Mini Boots Haul....


Mini Boots Haul....


Hello, so finally after a week off exams and mocks I finally have some time to write my blog post which is just a mini haul.Last saturday I went shopping and brought a few things from boots I managed to not spend that much as I had to take self control over spending my money so why not get in to the haul.


Overview of the things I brought.


The first thing I brought was the new Maybelline Dream Pure BB cream  I absolutely love BB creams and I like to try different ones and this is defiantly in my top 5 know this BB cream is actually for oily skin which is great as sometimes i can get oily skin.It has great coverage as well but is very light on your skin so you can still get the coverage that you want and you will not have to wear foundation.
It looks very dark on here but I think its the lighting.


BB Cream
The next 5 things that I are all nail polishes i have a few Essie Nail polishes and two Barry M nail polishes.The first Barry M nail polish is the Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Print in the shade Papaya 319 which when applied looks like gel nails it is a perfect coral colour and would be perfect with a tan and only needs one coat .The second Barry M polish I brought is the Confetti Nail Effect in the shade Marshmallow 322 which is a baby pink with sprinkles in it  but feels a bit like velvet sprinkle it applies lovely to your nails and only needs one coat. 
The next three I got were Essie Nail polishes,The first one I brought I have been looking for this shade for ages and I could never find it and that shade is Mint Candy Apple like Abbie said in her last post mostly every beauty guru on youtube has this colour and recommends it,its a mint kinda green colour and looks perfect when applied but will need two coats.The second Essie Colour I got is Full Stream Ahead  from the new Essie Summer 2013 collection its a nice light purple colour and you can't see it but has little bits of glitter in it.The last one I got is also from the 2013 Summer collection is called Sunday Funday  Its a pink/coral colour and is great from the summer hence that it is in the summer collection and it has again little bits of glitter in it.

Summer nails!

My favorite nail polishes...


I have a slight obsession with nail polish but i have narrowed 67 down to my top 5... Here we go!


This really pretty purple is by Angelica which can be found in Primark. This is the shade Flirty - 99 and it is a lilac with a slight glitter in it which can only really be seen in light. Angelica nail polishes are just £2.50! Which  is great because they last and don't chip easily. Ill definitely be looking out for more colours! 

Here i have another Angelica nail polish. This one is a glitter and is the shade Spring Break. I use this just on my ring finger nail and it looks amazing over all the polishes i'm going to mention. Despite being glitter and another layer of thick polish it stays really well and as long as you don't mess with it could definitely last a week. This is also just £2.50... bargain! 


This is the nail polish that every beauty blogger and YouTuber seems to have its Mint Candy Apple by Essie.  Its a really cute mint colour (hence the name) however it is quite thin so takes 2 coats to turn out the colour it looks in the bottle. It is really good quality and lasts well as long as you don't pick it ( I found this out during exams, picking it when i was nervous and wasted a lot topping it up). It is pricey at £7.99 but Superdrug and Boots often have offers on their nail products.


This is probably one of my favorite nail polishes EVER! The picture really doesn't so it justice, its a really bright hot pink which is great if your going on holiday or just going out in the sun. It is Funky Fuchsia from Avon as part of their Arabian glow collection. If your really girly or just love bright nails this is definitely the colour for you! I love Avon generally but there nail products are by far my favorite and not to expensive at around £6.


Another Avon nail polish is the 24k gold strength. This looks really nice on its own but is still subtle so good for if your not really aloud nail polish for school. I like to use it over coloured polishes just to add a shimmer too. I'm not sure how much this is but its probably again around £6.

So they were my favourite nail polishes and i now feel i have typed the words 'nail polish' way to many times! For more amazing nail posts check out http://ankiieee.blogspot.co.uk/
