Get to know me

Hey! This post is going to be a little 'get to know me' using questions I found on Beauty type, but first I've got something to say.
In my first blog post, I wrote that I was obviously hiding behind makeup and that I wasn't happy with myself. I have now decided this is not true. It is true that I am not happy with the way my body looks, and I do think that I look better with makeup. But in all honesty, I enjoy sitting at my dressing table, and going through the process of picking colours to use that day, and applying them using different techniques I have picked up. I enjoy researching new products and reading other peoples reviews. I just love makeup and skincare, and I am now beginning to see makeup as a form of art, which it is! I was never very creative at school, but sit me with an eye shadow palette and (in my opinion) I can choose what colours will work well together and on my skin tone. With that out of the way, on to the questions!


1. Do you have a middle name?
 This is going to sound bonkers but I'm not sure. I think I do, my name is Rachel Lee Macey (yes my dad spelt it the male way), and because its spelt like that, I've always thought that my name is Rachel-Lee, ever since I was tiny.

2. What was your favorite subject in school?
 English, I used to love creative writing in Primary school, and as I got older I loved the fact that I couldn't be told my opinion on a text was wrong.
 
3. What’s your favorite drink?
Definitely monster energy, I am fairly sure my blood is about 75% monster.
 
4. What’s your favorite song at the moment?
At the moment, I think it is Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars, but it changes regularly.

5. What would you name your children?
Jamie and I decided on Scarlett or Jessica for a girl (I love that Jessica Roberts sounds like Jessica Rabbit) and Todd or Finn for a boy.
6. Do you participate in any sports?
I love swimming, but that's it. I used to hate PE lessons.

7. What’s your favorite book? 
The Great Gatsby by F Scott Fitzgerald. I read it for A level English and at the time I could really relate to Daisy.

8. What’s your favorite colour?
Usually I would say pink, no questions asked. But at the moment I am really loving purple.

9. What’s your favorite animal?
Cats. I am a crazy cat lady.

10. What’s your favorite perfume?
Thierry Mugler Alien

11. What’s your favorite holiday?
Probably Christmas, never really thought about it.
12. Have you graduated from High School?Well I got my GCSEs and my A-levels so I think thats the english equivalent?

13. Have you been out of the country?Yes, when I was younger I was fortunate enough that my parents would take us to France every year. I've been to America when I was a baby, and since finishing school I've been to a few different places including Egypt.

14. Do you speak any other languages?
Not really well, I was taking a French module at uni before I had my year out.
15. Do you have any siblings?
Yes, I have a younger brother.

16. What’s your favorite store?
Well I prefer to go makeup shopping rather than clothes, so I'd probably say Debenhams or Boots.

17. What’s your favorite restaurant?
Royal China in Harrow, I freaking love dim sum.
 
18. Do you like school? 
I didn't at the time, but like everybody always says I look back and miss it. Now that I've had a year out of uni I'm also missing that.

19. Who are some of your favorite YouTubers?EssieButton, HudaBeauty and Goss.
20. What’s your favorite movie? 
I don't know, I do love The Great Gatsby as I think it is a really great adaptation of the book.
21. What are some of your favorite TV shows?Pretty Little Liars (Who is Charles?!), Orange is the New Black, Holby City, and I am currently rewatching Misfits

22. PC or Mac?I have a PC but I would love a Mac
23. What phone do you have?
I have the iPhone 6.

24. How tall are you?I’m 5’6. Quite short in my family.

25. Any pets?
Ah. I have a dog, four cats, a rabbit, a hamster and a bearded dragon. If I had my way I would also have guinea pigs and a snake. And probably a lot more cats.

I hope that gives you all a better idea of the crazy cat lady writing these posts!
