Liebster Award #3

So about a week or so ago I got a tweet from Kaitlyn from Ohh Kaye telling me she had nominated me for a Liebster Award - I was really chuffed that she had done as I didn't realise she read my blog. I love Kaitlyn's blog - I really enjoy reading her posts and I'm so jealous that she lives in Australia, I dream of living there one day. I think this is my 3rd nomination for this award and I never tire of doing them - each person that nominates you asks so many different questions - so it never gets boring or predictable. 

RULES 

- Post 11 random facts about yourself.
- Answer 11 questions the awarding blogger has posted for you.
- Nominate 11 bloggers (w/ less than 200 followers) for the award and link them in your post.
- Let the bloggers you've nominated know they are nominated.
- No tag backs.

11 Random Facts

1.  Considering I'm a beauty blogger - 90% of the time I can't be bothered to apply makeup
2.  It takes me around 5 minutes to apply my day to day make-up
3.  I'm in my first year of University - and I'm studying to be a Forensic Investigator
4.  I love to read but I don't read nearly as much as I'd like to
5.  One of my favourite books is The Fault in Our Stars by John Green - I highly recommend
6.  I've never been on a plane, but I've been to Paris - for a day
7.  I'd love to live abroad when I finish University - preferably Australia
8.  My favourite movies are Saving Private Ryan, The Green Mile and Enemy At The Gates 
9.  I get emotional really easily - but I don't let people see when I'm upset
10. My parents separated in 2012 and it was probably the worst year of my life, I was angry and upset all the time -  but I never admitted that I felt that way.
11. I'm focusing on being happier and healthier this year

So theres my random facts - I hope they are ok. Now onto the questions that I was asked!

Kaitlyn's Questions

1.  What is your favourite childhood movie?

As far as I can remember - my favourite movie was The Little Mermaid, Sleeping Beauty or The Road To El Dorado. I might even add Grease in there but I can't remember when it was that I first saw that. 

2.  If you could see any three bands/artists live, who would they be?
Emm, this is a tricky one. Most people would probably say artists that they couldn't see due to them being dead but I'm going to use artists that are living. So I'd love to see Taylor Swift, Miley Cryus and Michael Buble live in concert. I love all 3 of them, and I was hoping to go see Mr Buble with my mum this year but unfortunately he sold out - fast. 

3.  What gives your life purpose?
I don't really know how to answer this one? I just live because its what I do... 

4.  Are there any quotes that you live your life by, or that are particularly special to you? If so, which ones?
Ummm. On my bedroom wall I have a quote from Marilyn Monroe - Keep smiling because the world is a beautiful place and theres so much to smile about. 

5.  If you could learn one skill in your life, what would it be?
I would have to say either to play and instrument or learn a language - I'd love to play piano and learn to speak Japanese. I tried to learn but I could only understand the speech and not the writing. 

6.  What is your perfect outfit?
Something that I feel comfortable in and that is warm. For me that would be a v-neck top, high waisted jeans, a big cardigan and a pair of ankle boots or my converse. Not the most stylish outfit, I'll admit but its what I feel best in. 

7.  What do you find most attractive in a significant other?
People will say personality - but thats not what attracts you initially. I think if a guy has good teeth/ smile and nice hair then they are usually quite attractive. 

8.  How do you relax?
My favourite way to relax would probably be in a bath with some kind of bath product and pampering my face. Cleanse, mask, moisturise. Bliss. 

9.  Describe your first kiss?
My first kiss - I think - was really bad. I think I was pushed into by my friends at the time. If I go for a kiss that I wanted to do - it was pretty good, I guess as far as kissing goes though I'm not that experienced?

10. What is your favourite way to get some exercise?
Running. I just think its the easiest way. You exercise and get outside - unless you have a tredmill in which case you get to stay inside - but you should maybe go outside for a walk or something. I also quite like Yoga. 

11. What is your reason for blogging? Why do you do it?
I blog as a way for me to talk about make-up and have people actually want to listen. Make-up is something I love and I get to share my love with other people. I love clothes as well so hopefully I'll start blogging about that soon. 

I actually can't think of any bloggers to TAG to do this as most of the blogs I read with under 200 followers I have already tagged to do this. If you want to do this then feel free to take the questions I was asked.

Liebster Award #2

Hey everyone! So a few days I noticed that I had been nominated for what I think is my second or even maybe my third Liebster award. So a huge thank you to Paige for nominating me to do this!I was quite excited to do this, as I really like answering and reading these type of questions.
So, the rules are that each person that does this has to nominate 11 people who have less than 200 followers, and of course answer the questions they set. And then you set 11 questions for them to answer.
So on to the questions - which by the way were quite hard to figure out the answers for!!!

1. What is your favourite thing about blogging?
Ooooh, there are so many things that I love about blogging. One of the things I love the most is getting to talk to lots of different people, that I wouldn't usually be able to talk to. Oh - I also love being able to talk to uch about beauty and not be told to stop! :)
2. Do you prefer summer trends or autumn trends?

Autumn. Definitely Autumn. I don't like hot weather overly weather, I much prefer getting wrapped up warm and being all cosy.
3. What item of make up couldn't you live without?
I would have to say either Foundation or Mascara. Either one makes a look so much better, on bad skin days foundation. But I think foundation maybe has a bigger place in my life than foundation does.
4. What is your signature scent?
Signature scent as in perfume or as in candles? If its perfume I would say that Taylor Swifts Wonderstruck is the one, its really the only perfume that I own and wear. Candle wise I love anything Cherry scented.
5. Favourite clothing store?
I love Newlook just now, they have so many clothes that I love just now. Its all so purdy!!!
6. Must-have beauty product?
This seems like of like an earlier question. But I love lipstick, and I don't think I could not have a single lip colour in my collection.
7. Favourite lipstick?
Just now, my favourite lipstick is MAC Rebel :)
8. Where would be your ultimate place to go on holiday, and why?
I'd love to go to Sydney around Christmas time. I'm not sure why, but I've wanted to go for so long and I guess it would just be the holiday of a life time.
9. Why did you start blogging?
I started blogging as a way to talk about beauty and stuff with out my family telling me to shhh.
10. Who do you look up to? (Can be fashion idol, family etc)
Ummmm. I'm not really sure. I loved Miley Cyrus for her style and I think Jennifer Lawrence is such a lovely person and is a good role model.
11. Name your top 5 wardrobe essentials... 
High Waisted Jeans. Cozy Jumpers. Boots. Skater Skirts. Vneck Tops.


I don't actually have anyone I can tag to do this, since I've already tagged all the people in a previous post.
But I hope you enjoyed this and I'll talk to you later!

Liebster Award


I've been TAGGED!!! I was really excited when I received a tweet from the lovely Stephanie at Scottish Stef's Nails saying that she had nominated me for a Liebster Award. So a massive, huge thank you to Steph for nominating me to do this!
The Liebster Award is a great way of finding new blogs that you may not have otherwise found. And of course to help you learn a little more about the person behind the blog.
There appears to be two different versions of this going around, the one I was nominated in involved 11 facts about me, 11 questions answered and 11 blogs nominated.
Be warned my 11 random facts will suck a huge amount.

So 11 random facts about me


  1. I am extremely lazy
  2. I'm left handed
  3. Moths and chickens terrify me
  4. the first concert I ever went to was Steps and the last one I went to was All Time Low
  5. I love reading books
  6. I enjoy dancing in my room while singing badly to music
  7. I am going to University in September to study Forensic Investigation
  8. I adore mint green tea, or peach tea. YUUUM
  9. I love Teen Wolf, Pretty Little Liars and The Vampire Diaries
  10. On another note I also love the more adult True Blood and Game Of Thrones
  11. I have never not had a pet in my whole 18 years of living
Told you they would be rubbish. 

Steph's Questions

 1. Do you prefer prints or block colour?

Probably block colour, I'm more of a one colour type of gal and if I am using prints then its 98% of the time animal print.

2. Are you creative, academic or both?

I would like to say I'm a bit of both, but I'm probably more academic than creative. I haven't taken a creative subject for about 2 years. My blog is probably my creative outlet.  

3. Name one blogger and their blog that you would recommend?

Ooh, this is a hard one. I have so many favourite blogs, but I would probably say one that I continuously read and read all the posts for would probably be Rhi at Beauty Bucket List

4. What's your favourite song at the moment?

I have a couple of favourite songs just now. A couple aren't all that new but some are. I've been loving Best Song Ever by One Direction (feel free to judge me), We Can't Stop by Miley Cyrus and Love You Like a Love Song by Selena Gomez & The Scene. My music taste is all over the place. 

5. What would your ideal career be?

I would love to be able to get through the next 4 years of University so I could be a forensic investigator, solving crime and stuff like that. haha

6. What are your favourite American TV programmes?

I like very many TV programmes, most of them are American. I shall list a few that I watch every time its on: New Girl, The Big Bang Theory, Greys Anatomy, Criminal Minds, Bones and Supernatural. That is only a few of the many that I watch. 

7. What is your favourite nail polish brand?

This isn't specifically a brand for nail polish, but I personally think Barry M do the best nail polishes. The formula is lovely and they last for a really long time. 

8. Skater dress or bodycon?

100% skater dresses, they look really flattering on every body shape. 

9. What is your favourite make-up product?

I love eye shadows. I barely ever use them, but I have so so many of them. I'm really wanting to learn to do some different things with eye shadows so my ever expanding collection will be great for this. Otherwise I would say that lipstick is my favourite make-up thing. 

10. Boots or Superdrug?

This is quite difficult for me. I would usually say that Boots was my favourite, but recently I've really been enjoying going into Superdrug. So at the moment Boots and Superdrug are on the same level for me, since my love for Superdrug has been growing.

11. Bright nail polish or nude nail polish?

I'm not overly sure with this one, I like colours but I don't fancy the Neons or the really pale nudes. I'm to pale to pull them off. So I would say I'm somewhere in the middle on the nail polish scale.

The 11 people I have nominated are:


  1. What is your favourite saying/quote?
  2. What do you have more of, high end or drugstore make-up?
  3. What product have you bought more than once?
  4. What's you're favourite perfume?
  5. What is your favourite skin care item?
  6. What is your favourite make-up brand and why?
  7. What is your favourite film?
  8. What is your favourite lip product? 
  9. Heels or flats?
  10. Dress or Skirt?
  11. What are you most looking forward to for Autumn/ Winter? 
Please let me know when you have done the questions so I can check them out :)
