The Pretty Little Liars Tag


1. Favourite Character and why? 
Aria, I love her style and she's so unique too. I love how she's so creative and artsy and that she is also quite funny in scenes. I also like Aria's story-lines the best. 
2. Least favourite character and why?
I really hated Wilden, for a police officer he was really creepy and I did not like how he tryed to threaten Hannah's mum. I also don't like Melissa, I think she can be really mean to Spencer at times and I didn't like her when she was first introduced.
3. What's your A theories?
I think that there is an A team- that Mona used to be a part of. I think the members of the team are really close with the girls and some are hopefully trying to protect them. I also think that there is a leader of the A team and that could be Alison's twin- who wants revenge. I think that the show are sort of going along with the books in that way.
4. Favourite Couple?
Ezria, I loved them together and found there story lines really gripping. I talk to some of my friends about the show but they don't seem to like the Ezria story lines because they take away from the main show but I love them. Please let them get back together. 
5. Prettiest Liar?
I think it would be Aria, I love her hair.
6.Funniest Liar?
Hannah, no doubt!
7. Favourite quote(s)?
"people aren't dolls you can't just play with them and put them back in the box when you're done" and "you're leaving because it's easier to walk away than to fight for what you really want"
8. Do you love or hate Ali?
I love Ali- I honestly think she is looking out for the girls and trusted the wrong group of people which caused her to be killed. Even though she was mean to the girls I think it was deliberate so that they would become stronger. I think she's a brilliant character. 
9. Favoruite outfit so far?
10. Favourite scence/ moment?
When Aria runs after Ezra and they kiss in the school car park or when Ezra turns up at the masquerade ball and they dance together. I basically love any Ezria scene. I also loved when Mona revealed that she was on the A team, that was so gripping and it was such an amazing episode.
11. Jaria or Ezria?
Ezria
12. Spoby or Spalex?
Spoby
13. Character you miss?
I don't really miss any of the characters because the ones that have died are all really mean and not very nice. I'm so glad that they are not in the story anymore. I liked Maya but I really liked Emily and Paige so much so I'm kinda glad that she is gone in a way.
14. Hottest Character?
Ezra
15. Favourite friendship between the liars?
I really like Spencer and Aria together, they are so funny. Team Sparia!
16. What do you think will happen next in the show?
I think they will try and find out how Alison was killed and who is the leader of the A team. I also think that someone really unexpected will be on the A team. I also hope that the all go to universities and stuff. 
17. Character with the best family?
I think Aria has the best family, I like her mum better than the others but I think her Dad is a little creepy. However, I like Emily's dad but think her mum is quite strict.
18. What would you steal from your favourite liar?
I would steal Aria's face, Hannah's Style, Spencer's intelligence and Emily's down to earth personality.
19. Worst scene/ moment?
The Ezria break up was horrible, so was the Haleb break up. The worst was when it was revealed that Toby was on the A team, that was a heartbreaking moment. 
20. Which character would you marry?
Ezra
21.Which character do you want to become best friends with?
Aria or Hannah
22. Which Liars life is the most similar to yours?
Hannah because she likes to shop and likes fashion and so do I.
23. Which character would be your enemy?
I can see myself not liking Melissa because she is kinda mean and I just think that I would not get along with her. I also don't like Jenna and Shauna they are so creepy together and Jenna is just all round weird. She needs to leave the girls alone.
24. An unpopular opinion?
I didn't really like Maya, I didn't like how she was so rebellious and took drugs. She was also kinda mean to Emily at times even though they did have a good relationship. I think Paige cares about her so much more and Paige is nice and tries to protect Emily.
25. What do you think of Jenna and Melissa?
I don't really like them because they are mean but I do like how they make the show more gripping and interesting.
26. Favouite episode as a whole?
I think the season 2 finale was so good because I loved the masquerade theme. I love how Toby came back, how Ezra surprised Aria and how they found out that Mona was on the A team. It was just a brilliant episode as a whole.
27. If you were to pick an actor/ actress to be on the show, who would you pick and why?
I would love Zac Efron to be in it. I love him. Maybe he could be an older brother that could protect the girls and could watch out for them.
28. Theories for Ali's death, killer and killers reason to do it?
I think that Alison has a twin and that she killed the real Alison, there's just so many clues that make you think that she did have a twin sister. I think she killed her because there was a lot of fighting and they did not get along. I've not read the books but apparently one of them has a mental problem so maybe that's why the other twin killed Ali.
29. What is your opinion on Spoby, Haleb, Ezria and Paily?
I LOVE THEM ALL, ARIA AND EZRA NEED TO GET BACK TOGETHER. 
30. What's been the scariest A moment?
I did not like when Ezra and aria were kissing in the car at Mona's party in season 1 and A was behind them writing on the car window. That creeped me out. I also did not like when Spencer was in the changing rooms and all the snakes came in, that was really terrifying.

Louise's Holiday Haul

As you all know i went away for two weeks on holiday, i never bought anything in the airport, however i thought i would show you the items i bought when i was there.

I'm a huge fan of nail polish even though my nails aren't in best condition however when i was on holiday i found a store that sold Essie nail polish. You can buy Essie in boots stores however i find the price to be a bit too high for what i would like to spend on a nail polish as they are around £10. However on holiday i got mine for around 10 euros which is about £8 which is a bit more reasonable. 





The first one i got is called 'Naughty Nautical' this is from their new summer collection. This is very aqua blue with a slight silver shimmer through it. I like it as the shimmer isn't to obvious and i'm not really a fan of glittery nails.

The second is called 'Fear and Desire' i think this is part of there permanent line. This is a very bold and bright orange. I like wearing this on my toe nails.



I also bought a pair of havaiana flip flops on holiday. Usually i wear cheap primark flip flops however last year i invested in a pair of white havaianas. I wore them most of my holiday and are very well lasting. This year i knew i was going to get a pair but i wasn't sure which ones, i ended up getting a black pair that are more of a sandal than a flip flop and look more girly than the others. I find them really comfortable to wear and they dont hurt in between my toes, i even wore them on the plane home. 

Hope you all are enjoying the continuous blog posts, tomorrow is Rachels day and she is uploading an exciting tag post, may be a few joint ones at the weekend, Louise xx

Review: Benefit Feelin' Dandy Set

Hi, it's Rachel. As part of our summer to do list Louise and I thought that we would get back on track and start our blog back up. We really enjoyed writing posts but we just got a bit busy and there was not a lot of time but now hopefully we will get back into doing some more.


If you know me i'm  always one for cute packaging and something girly so when my auntie bought me this set for my birthday i was over the moon as i just loved the packing. It's called benefit feelin' dandy. It also is really small so you can take it on holiday which is great as this time of the year most people are going on holiday.

As for the make up inside. Brilliant!


First of all there is a miniature size posie tint which will last a long time. Posie is a lovely light pink colour and paired with the blush looks flawless and gives a nice summery glow to your cheeks. It can also be worn as a lip tint and lasts a long time. Since it's a tint its great for summer as it can stay on even if you sweat from the warm weather.
There is also a high beam which is also miniature and i love high beam. If you just apply a small drop it can really go a long way. I think it makes your skin look more healthy and radiant and it can really boost your confidence because you have nice skin. Also, since the weather is nice the high beam will show up more as the days are brighter.
There is also a small dandelion blush, which smells amazing and looks great too. It gives a glow to cheeks making them brighter and it would look good on any skin   I think it would look especially good on people with paler skin. There is also a small blush brush which you can use to apply the blush.
Finally, the last product in the set is a small dandelion lip gloss which is really sheer and gives a lovely natural look its not sticky which is great and hair does not get stuck to your lips as much.

The set also has a tips and tricks book which is great if you want to follow the looks and they do look lovely. The set is great size, all the product are long lasting and its a great price as you are getting more products rather than just buying the one. The set is 25.50 which is a bit expensive but when you are buying more products for the price of one its worth it and i recommend the set so much.
Here is a link to the product here if you would like to read a little more about it or would like to buy it.

Thank you for reading and please stay tuned because we have a lot more ideas for blog posts thank you so much for reading. xx

Louise's Music Favourites

Hello, here's for another crap explanation why we have been absent for a while. Oh well there's not really a good excuse except we've both been on holiday for the past two weeks. As usual life got in the way.

I thought i would do a music favourites as i really enjoy listening to music and have quite a varied music taste. However it may not be everyone's cup of tea, but i hope you take at least one song/artist from it.

First is The 1975, the first song by them i heard was the famous 'Chocolate' i feel its a very summer and happy song. I also have a few others such as 'Sex', 'The City' and 'You' on my iTunes. I was jealous as they played T in the park (Scottish music festival) last weekend when i was on holiday. There album comes out soon so i'm really looking forward to listening to that.
I'm a fan of You Me At Six however after seeing the lead singer Josh Franceschi posting pictures of a him at the concert of Teagan and Sara i have become a fan of theirs. I really enjoy the song 'I Was A Fool'. Its very relaxing and i find myself having it stuck in my head for hours.

And obviously, Miley Cyrus, her new song 'We Cant Stop' is my summer song and is just a very upbeat tune. Its a bit of a change to her old Hannah Montana ways buy i have to say i do enjoy this song.


At the start of June Rachel and i went to the cinema with a couple of friends to see Great Gatsby. I havent read the book but the movie was very good, and the soundtrack is just as good. Some of the songs are a bit more suited to the older generation but my favourites are 'A Little Party Never Killed Nobody' by Fergie, 'Young and Beautiful' by Lana Del Rey, 'Crazy In Love' by Emelie Sande and 'No Church in the Wild' by Jay-Z and Kayne West.


Bastille have also been a big favourite of mine over the last few months. I feel that this band is quite alternative as Rachel is not a fan. However i have to say i really do like them, some of my favourites being 'Oblivion', 'Pompeii', 'Things We Lost in the Fire' and 'Weight of Living' part 1 and 2.

I have not heard any other songs by Haim however the song 'Falling' is definitely worth a listen. Also an alternative sound but very pop-y and upbeat.

Hope you enjoyed this post next one will be from Rachel and should be up soon. Louise x

February Favourites

Hey everyone, sorry we have not posted in such a long time. It's because we have been busy with prelims and school but we're back now. Yay!
Firstly, we thought that we would return with a post that everyone loves- a favourites post. I know everyone says this but we just can't believe how quickly February has gone, wow. It was a really busy month for both of us.
Ok, now on with the favourites!



For hair, our most commonly used product would have to be anything by Aussie. We both use heat to style our hair, so in the long run it can get damaged. Not with this! The take the heat by Aussie shampoos and conditioners are incredible, they leave hair feeling fresh and soft too. We especially love the conditioner as it makes your hair feel so smooth and just gorgeous. Aussie is also always on a deal so we recommend you buy some. Its amazing!


Our next favourite would have to be this eco tools blush brush. It's
honestly so soft and worth the price. It's about £8 which makes it quite a bargain compared to high end brush's. It's not harsh against the skin, its really nice. It also blends blush very well.
Since we live in Scotland, its no surprise that the weather has not been great causing both our lips to become dry and chapped. Louise's uncle lives in America and sent Louise some EOS lip balms (She was kind enough to give Rachel one) and we love them. For a start they smell so good. They are also really moisturising on the lips and the packaging is super cute too. We love the pastel colours.




Again, another thing that makes our skin soft because of the horrible weather is the body shop body butters, they also smell amazing. They leave you smelling like fruits and also leave skin feeling great.




 This is our final favourite, its the benefit bad gal lash. It makes lashes look so much longer and they look amazing. Benefit mascaras are great and we both really want to try they're real. For the mean time though we still really like this one.  



Hope you enjoyed this we'll be posting soon, Rachel + Louise x

Our Wishlist


Our Wishlist


Taylor Swift Wonderstruck - I have been listening to her new album 'RED' and my favourite songs so far are Starlight, State of Grace and Everything Has Changed which was co written with Ed Sheeran. I really admire her style and i think it shows on the bottle design. I find the smell very sweet and fruity.

Steve Madden Combat boots - I know its coming out of boot season but I've been wanting a pair like this for the last few months. I'm sure i'll get round to buying them sometime this year maybe near autumn as it will be going into the fall/winter season. I just think they are a staple item and would match a lot of clothes in my wardrobe.

Pretty Little Liars - I have had an obsession with Pretty Little Liars ever since the show aired a couple of years ago, I have not yet been able to find the box set though. Pretty Little Liars has just came back on the television after taking a long break and I think it's amazing. The show is so gripping and you really develop a relationship with the characters. Your'e basically shouting at the TV most of the time! If you have never watched Pretty Little Liars I would recommend it.

Essie Watermelon - Ever since Ingrid posted a video featuring this nail polish I have been obsessed with it. However, the nearest Essie counter in my area is in Edinburgh so I have not been able to get it. I love Essie nail polishes, they last a long time and look lovely on the nails. This colour looks stunning and hopefully I can buy it soon.

Naked Basics - I've been looking into buying the naked palette as it is a very popular item in the beauty community. However, I think it would be a waste as I already have a similar neutral palette from Avon. So I'm thinking on buying the naked basics palette which has a variety of colours and I could make different eye looks using the both palettes.

Naked 2 - So this isn't confusing this is Rachel's opinion. After getting the first palette in the summer I have been really intrigued to try the naked 2, it has some cooler tones compared to the original Naked and it also features a black which would be perfect for smokey eyes. There are also a lot of colours that can be worn all the time too and the palette's packaging looks lovely.

Michael Kors Rose Gold Watch - I've seen quite a lot of fakes by shops such as river island I actually think they look quite nice. Michael Kor's has been a real statement for a while now in the beauty community and I would love to get one. However, they are a lot of money and I'm probably the most clumsy person you will ever meet. The watch looks so pretty though!

Mulberry Alexa Bag - I think these bags are so old fashioned and classic. I will never be able to afford one but i think they are so nice and would match everything. The bag also comes in multiple colours but i would have to either choose between the brown or the pinkish colour.

Benefit Hoola Bronzer - I've never been a big fan of bronzer but I've become known to how much of a big impact it can have and this is why I've added this to our wishlist. I think I may be purchasing this for summer as I feel I would use it more then then I would now. We both want to purchase this product so I think it may be a trip to the benefit counter for us in the next few months.

Hope you enjoyed this post, I know this isn't how people normally do them but i felt that I wanted to explain why each product was here. Love Rachel and Louise, xx

Snow Fairy Review


 Hey guys, its both of us today for our first review, how exciting. We're going to be reviewing the popular lush product Snow Fairy. Lush describes it as "Our winter temptress shower hair and body gel that’s bursting with fruit fragrance and has a sparkle of ice through it." 





Snow fairy is a very lovely product that can have different uses. It can be used as shower gel, bubble bath and even shampoo. I wouldn't particularly use it as a shampoo as It is pink in colour and has pearly iridescent shimmer running through it and also It has a very sweet smell that can be related to bubblegum.



This product however is only available in the run up to Christmas and the New Year sales. Unfortunately when we went in on the 27th of December to our local Lush store they had sold out of all sizes even before Christmas. 

We like it as we feel that there isn't a residue of chunky glitter left on your skin after you have used it. We feel It leaves a very nice thin layer of shimmer which is very appealing. We look forward to Christmas as that is one of our favourite scents and which we now both relate to Christmas as it is not available to purchase at any other time of the year.

You can purchase these all at lush, they come in different size of 100g, 250g and 500g. The smallest is £3.50, medium is around £6 and the large is around £10. 

This product is well known in the beauty community and we felt it was worthy of a review as we will be repurchasing it for years to come. Hope you liked our first review we shall post very soon, love Rachel and Louise, xx
