The Christmas Tag!!!

Hey!

I found this Christmas tag online and I thought it might be fun to do and put me in the festive spirit. Feel free to also do it!

The Summer Tag!

Hello! Seeing as the weather has been so lovely lately, I thought doing the Summer tag would certainly be appropriate!

1. What's your favourite thing about summer?
The freedom! The weather and time off allows me to have a lot of free time to chill out and relax with friends and family.

2. Do you have a favourite summer drink?
A freezing cold orange and passion fruit j2o is the way to go for me. :-)

3. Is there a location you like to go to each summer?
Me and my family don't always, but mostly, go to a Greek island when we go on holiday. Does that count? I always go to Weston Super-Mare also.

4. Favourite make up look for summer?
A cat eye and a brightly red or purple lip. 

5. Dresses or skirts?
I don't really wear either, I mean I only own one skirt and one dress! I am more of a shorts person. But if I had to choose, it would be a skirt.

6. Sandals or ballet pumps?
Sandals! I do not own any ballet pumps as they do not seem to ever stay on my feet.

7. Do you prefer to wear your hair up or down for summer?
Down. The only times I ever wear my hair up is to wash my face and to go to my dance lessons. Really do not like my hair tied up!

8. Deep smoky eyes or bold lips?
God I cannot choose, I love both! 

9. Favourite perfume for summer?
Anything by Ed Hardy is perfect for me.

10. Last but not least, favourite music for summer?
Eskimo Kiss by The Kooks is a great summer one for me and I always find The Darkness great for sunny days out.

I tag any of you to do it! What do you like to do in the summer?

TMI Tag!

Hello! My lovely real life best friend Emily (click her name to see her awesome blog) tagged me in the TMI tag so here it is!

1.) What are you wearing?
A black, long top with skulls and anchors all over with black leggings with Frankenstein and his wife all over. All from Blue Banana I believe!

2.) Have you ever been in love?
Yes, with my boyfriend.

3.) Have you ever had a terrible break up?
 Unfortunately, yes. It was awful but I guess it kind of made me who I am!

5.) How much do you weigh?
8 Stone on the dot.

6.) Do you have any tattoos?
 No, not yet. But this time next year this answer may be different! I am very in to tattoos so there definitely will be a couple.

7.) Do you have any piercings?
 Yes! I have 7 in total: in my left ear I have three ear lobe ones, my tragus and the top of my ear. In my right ear I have two ear lobe ones. I plan to get many more piercings as I am very in to them!

8.) What is your OTP?
Fourtris (Divergent), Clace (City of Bones) and Phan (Danisnotonfire/AmazingPhil). I used to be a guilty reader/writer of fanfic!

9.) What is your favourite show?

My ultimate favourite is SUPERNATURAL with American Horror Story in second. Thirdly is Family Guy!

 I don't really have favourites any longer but I love rock/metal music and going to concerts. Recently I have been listening to a lot of Cancer Bats and The Darkness music.

11.) What is something you miss?
 Is having a life a reasonable answer? Haha but seriously I haven't been to a concert in a looooong time and I really miss them.

Some of my all time favourites include Nicotine and Alcohol Saved My Life by Deaf Havana, Nirvana's Lithium, In Waves by Trivium and September's Children by Rise Against.

13.) What is your zodiac sign?
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaarieeeeeeeees.

14.) What is a quality you look for in a partner?
Someone who is in to the same music as me and shares a similar humour to me. I don't like someone who is really romantic as I am not in to that but they must be committed and in it for the long run. I prefer longer hair on partners and I love tattoos and piercings on them. My boyfriend fits for the most part!

15.) What is your favourite quote?
"Two hands working together does more than a thousand clasped in prayer" -(Don't know who said it)

"Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book" -John Green

I don't proudly say this but yes I was got in to quite a few when I was much younger.

22.) Turn off?
Someone who doesn't take care of hygiene or does drugs.

I have a fear of being in social situations and when I was in secondary school I had a fear of being in a classroom with people. I am also scared of going downstairs by myself in the dark haha!

24.) What is the last thing that made you cry?
I think it was perhaps on my birthday two weeks ago when my sister announced to me she was pregnant. It was a shock and very overwhelming! I also cried a little when I watched the film of Divergent.

25.) When was the last time you said you loved someone?
Yesterday to my boyfriend. :-)

26.) Meaning behind your blog name?
Well my real name is Briony but my family have always called me Bea, therefore giving me the nickname Bea. People sometimes call me Briony and they sometimes call me Bea so that's how I came up with BrionyBea. Sincerely is there because it is like how you sign off a letter and yeah, nothing special really!

One thing to know about me is I absolutely hate the term 'crush'! Although I have forever had a thing for Taylor Momsen, she is an extremely attractive woman. Kat Von D is pretty great too.

36.) Favourite flavour of sweet?
Starburst flavours! Orange perhaps?

37.) What instruments do you play?
I don't play any, I played harmonica for four years in primary school but that was it. I would love to know how to play the drums!

38.) Favourite piece of jewellery?
I love my pentagram choker and I have got another choker in the post coming which as a key and chains on! That is super exciting.

Liebster Award!

Hello!

Thanks to Imogen Fluer I have been nominated for the Liebster Award which is designed for blogs with smaller bloggers to get to know each other which I think is a pretty fabulous idea! I was so happy to see my nomination as it tells me at least one person looks at my blog which is pretty cool.

You have to answer the 11 questions the person who nominated you  has created, then create 11 different questions for your own nominations to answer and then go and let them know you've nominated them.

Here are my answers to the questions Imogen Fluer gave me:

1. If you were to be bought one beauty product, what would it be?

If it was something I always need it would be Collection Lasting Perfection concealer! That is my baby. But if it would be to try something new I'd like to be bought something from Benefit to try.

2. What colour is always on your nails?

Red! Although I don't usually ever have one solid colour on my nails, red is mostly my colour to go for with nail art designs.

3.  What is your favourite book?

This is such a difficult question! I cannot simply put one! But I love:

• The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
• City of Bones (The Mortal Instruments) series by Cassandra Clare
• The Divergent Trilogy by Veronica Roth
• Noughts and Crosses series by Malorie Blackman

4.  What is your favourite highstreet make up brand?

L'oreal is my favourite! I get my usual eyeliner from there and they do great lipsticks.

5.  What clothes shop do you go to most?

Blue Banana is where I get the majority of my clothes from. It's my alternative heaven!

6.  Where would you like to visit most in the world?

America! That sounds super common and cliche I know but I've never been before.

7.  What is your favourite skincare product?

Tea Tree face wash by The Body Shop is my skincare essential, although I use pretty much all the Tea Tree range from there. 

8.  What is your favourite item in your wardrobe?

A tough one! Perhaps my completely laced/netted top which I got for Christmas. I have NO IDEA where it came from but it seems to go with everything I wear whether I wear it over top or underneath.

9. Who would you like to meet most?

There is this YouTuber called Charles Trippy (also the bassist in the band We The Kings) and his wife Alli who I have been watching for three years now and are my inspiration. I'd probably cry if I met them.

10.  What is your favourite mascara?

Maybelline Great Lash Blackest Black Mascara. I have about 9 of these! 

11.  What is your order at Starbucks?

Hot chocolate with cream always. Yum!

Get to Know Me Tag!

1. Is your hair naturally curly or straight?

I am blessed with straight hair that I love. However it flicks up at the ends which are easily fixed with straighteners. 

2. Do you dye your hair yourself or do you go to a salon?

My mum has always dyed my hair for me and I have never done it myself or in a salon. All I do is buy two boxes of hair dye (because I have long, thick hair) and mum will do it at home in the kitchen.

3. Do you wear your hair in the same style everyday or change it?

You may see this as a flaw but I am not adventurous with my hair in the slightest. Every single day I just straighten it down and that's it! I curled my hair once when I was younger but my hair is too heavy to hold it. I also only ever wear my hair up for dancing because I have to but I detest it up otherwise. Pretty bland!

4. Do you do your own mani/pedi or go to a salon?

I always do my own. If you can do it yourself, why pay for someone else to? I mean I know people find it therapeutic and relaxing but I'd much rather do it myself than have other people do so. I had fake nails put on once by someone and I just didn't enjoy it at all.

5. How often do you change your nail polish?

I do my nails every two weeks. I will do a design and keep it going filling in the chips until two weeks is up then I will do another design.

6. Do you polish your toes in the winter or just in the summer?

I polish my toes all year round! I especially make sure it looks good in the summer time when I am wearing flip flops but generally I do it throughout the year just for the pure love of painting my nails.

7. How long does it take you to put your make up on?

Roughly about 15-20 minutes. I honestly don't wear a lot of make up and don't ever 'go to town' with my make up, I just keep it pretty basic with concealer, mascara and eyeliner with the occasional lipstick and rare occasion of eyeshadow.

8. What do you do first face or eyes?

I do it like a sandwich! I will do my mascara, then my face, then my eyeliner. An eye/face sandwich! Doesn't sound tasty at all.

9. Do you collect make up or just buy it when you need it?

I buy make up when I need it and I know I get on well with that product. However I'm lately slowly building more of an addiction to make up and want to try new things. We will see! I'll blame blogger. However I collect nail polish just because you can never have too much nail polish in my opinion.

10. How often do you wear false eyelashes?

Never have and probably never will. I honestly don't like the thought of gluing lashes to my eyes.

11. Do you do a full face of make up every day?

Mostly, yeah! I am super self-conscious about my skin as I have some horrible red scarring on my face so I will never ever leave the house without concealer and mascara on. Despite this you will rarely on occasion catch me with no eyeliner on! Shocking, I know.

12. Do you wear make up when your home alone or with the family?

If I'm not leaving the house then I won't put on any make up as my family are the only people I feel comfortable with seeing my red scarred face (lol). But if I have some nasty spots going on I will do a slight coverage of concealer.

13. Will you leave the house without make up?

Neverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I wish I had the confidence to though because it would make my life so much easier. I really respect girls who do!

14. How many high end products do you have?

Zero? I'm not made of money and I don't have a job (yet?) but I am pretty content with my drug store make up.

15. Do you plan your OOTD every night or decide when you're getting dressed?

The majority of the time yes as I am a VERY indecisive person who panics about making decisions so I need the luxury of time to think otherwise I stress myself out and end up late for things!

16. How often do you change your handbag?

Haha, like, once a year? I stick to the same bag mostly and have the same bag for everything.

17. What time do you wake up and go to sleep?

On a weekday I will go to bed at 10pm and fall asleep between 12-1.30am to wake up at 7.40am. BUT if it is a weekend or I have time off from sixth form I go to sleep at stupid o'clock and wake up about half 10. 

18. How often or when do you work out?

HAHAHAHA never. I do dancing once a week but that is as far as it goes. I am supposed to do specific work outs given to me by my physio as I have back problems but I'm too lazy and have no willpower.

19. Left or right handed?

A righteous lefty! (That sounded good in my head)

20. How tall are you?

5"6 which makes me taller than the majority of my family.

21. Do you speak any foreign languages?

Nope, not really! I know some Spanish but I could probably understand more than I can actually say. 

22. How many pets do you have?

I have my cat Suki who is my best friend and two crested gecko lizards Stig and Tikka. We used to have another cat but she died and I also used to have two gerbils (Winston and Nibbler) and JayJay my hamster. In addition we breed the lizards to sell if the babies ever count?? 

23. How often are you on Blogger?

Every day. I don't blog everyday but I'm here every day reading and commenting on other people's stuff and wishing I could be as good as them at blogging. :P

24. Do you read comments posted on blogs?

I read every single comment posted on my blog as it makes me squeal with excitement knowing someone is actually paying attention to what I am saying! Sometimes I will read the comments on other people's.

25. Do you keep a list of products to try as you see other posts?

Yes! I have been accumulating a list on my phone that I just simply don't have all the money for. It is a case of pick and choosing!

26. How did you come up with your blog name?

My real name is Briony but my nickname for years is Bea. Because of my two different names I always make usernames on things as 'BrionyBea' and as 'sincerely' is how you sign off a letter I thought it would be funny to put that with both names down. Does that make sense?

27. What kind of camera do you use for photographs?

I just use the camera on my Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini. Nothing fancy.

28. How often do you clean your house?

Rarely. I am rubbish and have no motivation. 

29. What's your favourite colour?

Hmmm....I wear mostly black but my favourite colours are actually teal/red/purple.

30. Do you swear?

Every day, especially when I am angry. Sorry Mum.

31. What are you doing with the rest of the day?

It is 1:00am so probably sleep until 10am I guess? Then the plan is to spend some time with my niece, hang out with my boyfriend at his then eat a takeaway, watch Saturday night TV and do dreadful revision.
