Top 5 Lip products | January

L-R: Wet n Wild-Bare it All, Chanel Rouge Coco Shine- Boy, Maybelline Colour Stay- Tantalizing Taupe, Mac-Shy Girl, Clarins Instant light Natural Lip Perfector- Rose Shimmer

L-R: Wet n Wild-Bare it All, Chanel Rouge Coco Shine- Boy, Maybelline Colour Stay- Tantalizing Taupe, Mac-Shy Girl, Clarins Instant light Natural Lip Perfector- Rose Shimmer

You may be thinking these lip products look like the same colour, and yes they are all of the pinky/nude variety, but because of the slightly differing shades and finish, they are all very much needed in my life. Well, this is what I keep telling myself.

I am just obsessed with nudes and mauves and have been throughout the whole of Jan. They suit me much more than a bold lip ever has and therefore I tend to stay safe and stick to more neutral lips and more adventurous eyes and this is my kinda go-to look for night outs.

My favourite lip look has to be 'Tantalizing Taupe' by Maybelline paired with Mac 'Shy Girl' in the centre of my lip. This creates an ombre lip effect, that makes my lips have more dimension and look fuller.

Another Lip product that deserves a mention is the Wet n Wild Matte Lipstick in 'Bare it all', I got this from Amazon for only £2.50, as I heard it was a fab dupe of the incredibly popular 'Velvet Teddy' lipstick by Mac. Although I don't own Velvet Teddy, it does look like a very good match when compared to other photos and swatches I have seen and I am very very impressed, especially for the price! It's a lovely brown nude and has an amazing formula that is very pigmented with only one stroke. It has a creamy texture and is not as drying as other matte lipsticks I have tried.

Both the Chanel and Clarins Lip products are definitely more on the sheer side in terms of finish which I think makes them perfect for every day wear. They are however a lot more pigmented on the lips than on my hand, plus they feel super moisturizing on the lips, which is always a winner.

Are you a nude lip kinda gal? Has anyone else tried these shades?

Liquid Lipsticks and Glitter | Born Pretty Store Review

I was contacted recently by the lovely Joy from Born Pretty Store, who asked me if I would like to try out some products from their website. I was a bit sceptical at first as I wasn't sure how good the quality of the products would be, however upon receiving the items I was really impressed!

Born Pretty Store, if you haven't already heard of them, are an online retailer and after browsing their site they stock many different products, not just limited to makeup but makeup tools, jewellery and accessories. The first thing I noticed was the price of everything, it is so affordable and the perfect place to treat yourself but not break the bank.They also offer free worldwide shipping! However do expect to wait 2-4 weeks to receive your products as they are being shipped from Hong Kong.

 The first products I chose were two liquid lipsticks by Me now Generation. as I am a bit obsessed with these at the moment, I just can't get enough of the the matte finish. My favourite out of the two is the shade 18, in a lilac grey/beige and I have been after a colour like this for ages and although I don't own Limecrimes 'Cashmere', it looks to me like a great dupe at a fraction of the price, only £1.37- such a bargain!! The formula smells really fruity, it glides on smoothly and you only need a thin layer to create a very pigmented beautiful colour. Also when they say these are long-lasting, believe me they are ridiculous even to to the point where they are quite difficult to remove, but with a oil based makeup remover they do come off.

Left- Shade 18, Right- Shade 26

The other product I picked was the Colour Diamond Shimmer Eyeshadow in shade 1 which is a gorgeous white gold colour. While this isn't a product I would wear everyday it is perfect to add that extra sparkle to your eyes for nights out. The glitter is a gel like formula which I love as it means it goes onto the eyes super easily, without any fall out.  I wore it on a night out in leeds recently and below was the look I achieved (the glitter is a lot more shimmery and pigmented in real life). All my friends wanted to borrow it and I can see myself using this a lot in the future.

Born Pretty Store have also been very kind and given me 10% coupon code to use and share with you guys. You can use the code MBWH10 at the checkout to get the 10% off. Shop Born Pretty here.I am already eyeing up some of their makeup brushes..

Let me know if you decide to buy anything from the store or if you have also done a review on some of their items?

NYE Beauty

As if New Years Eve is tonight!! I am very excited as NYE is the perfect excuse to get glammed up and go all out with your makeup, which is what I intend to do tonight with lots of glitter and sparkle!
I thought I would share some of my NYE beauty essentials that I will be using this year,

Firstly Primer. Primer is a miracle on a night like tonight, when you want your makeup to stay put all night long. I will be using the Urban Decay Eye shadow Primer which is amazing, it lasts forever and doesn't crease. I can say that I have worn this overnight and my eye shadow still looked incredible in the morning! I was lucky to receive the Benefit Pore Professional Primer for Christmas and I am looking forward to using this as I have heard so many good things about it,

Brows. Yes I love brows and I think they make such a difference to your face, especially now since I have my hands on the ABH Dipbrow Pomade. I cannot rave about this product enough and it has totally changed my eyebrow game, so this is a beauty essential must for NYE.

Fake Eyelashes. No makeup for a night out is complete in my opinion without some big fluttery lashes to set off your eye look and these Demi Wispies by Ardell are fast becoming my favourite eyelashes. I normally get a few compliments on my eyelashes when I wear them, so they must be a winner!

Glitter. I love glitter so NYE is great because you can wear as much as you want and no one can say anything because lots of glitter is what NYE is all about, right?

Highlighter. Not satisfied with glittery eyes I want my face to also shimmer which is why the Benefit Watts Up Highlighter is perfect. A creamy formula that you can apply to your cheekbones, bridge of your nose, under your eyebrows and cupids bow, to really make your skin glow.

And Finally my YSL Rouge Volupte Lipstick in Peach Passion, alongside my trusty Charlotte Tilbury Lip liner in Pillow Talk, This lipstick is a beautiful peachy pink and I think it goes great teamed with smokey eye look which is what I am going for this NYE.

I hope everyone has a fabulous NYE whatever you may be doing!

Fake the Holiday Glow all year round

Just because we are now in winter does not mean we need to wave goodbye to our holiday glows. Life is so much better with a tan so why not fake it and look radiant all year round.
I love the process of fake tanning and hate being pale, which means I have tried my fair share of fake-tans on the market and I now have a new favourite the  'Bondi Sands Dark Lotion' and this has been my No1 tan for awhile now. I also love how Bondi Sands is an Australian brand, as surely Australians know how to tan!?

I am not a fan of the orange looking fake tans and much prefer a olivey brown natural look and Bondi Sands delivers just that. The best thing about Bondi Sands is that it is very easy to apply with a mitt, drying almost instantly so you are not left feeling sticky and after you shower in the morning you are left with an incredibly natural looking gorgeous tan that is also streak-free!
The scent of this lotion is coconut which I love, so there is none of that biscuit smell that overpowers some fake tans. You can buy this at Superdrug and it is on offer at the moment for £9.95 which I think is very affordable for such a great quality product and I am keen to try out the gradual tanning milk, also by Bondi Sands which is perfect for everyday use,

So if you are looking for a fake tan to see you through all the festive parties over Christmas and New Years Eve, then I recommend trying this one out to get that holiday glow all year,

Has anyone used this tan before? What is your go-to fake tan?

ABH Dibrow Pomade- Holy Grail Eyebrow Product worth the hype?

I have lusted after this product for SO long now, definitely over a year, but after repeatedly seeing the name 'Anastasia Beverley Hills' under Instagram captions of people with perfectly shaped eyebrows, I knew I needed to be a part of this cult beauty hype. I am so so happy that I finally purchased it, I love it! I am now only wondering why I didn't purchase it sooner!?

Anastasia Beverley Hills has been nicknamed the queen of eyebrows and after trying out the dipbrow pomade in the shade 'Dark Brown', I am now understanding why, it is amazing.
I also picked up the Zoeva wing liner brush after reading great reviews on Beauty Bay and it works perfectly teamed with the dipbrow, the thin angle brush is precise enough to achieve the ideal eyebrow shape. It glides on smoothly and you won't have to worry about it rubbing off  as it is smudge-proof and lasts all day! A little bit really does go along way, so make sure to use a light hand to achieve a more natural yet sculpted brow look. This will also mean the pot will last a super long time.

Dipbrow Pomade definitely deserves it's holy grail status and I urge every girl to try it for themselves as eyebrows are very important after all. A product that can transform and shape your whole face is 100% worth the money in my opinion.

Has anyone else tried this product? Do you believe the hype?

Liquid Lipsticks- Perfect Pink

Its no secret that I am a lover of lipsticks and cannot resist buying more and more, so when I heard the hype around liquid lipsticks I knew I had to get my hands on one. I love the finish of matte lips so I was very excited about this product.

I ordered the Gerard Cosmetics liquid lipstick in the shade 'Serenity' as I had seen this shade a lot over Instagram and it looked like a gorgeous warm pinky shade.
This colour does seem to come up slightly darker on my lips, yet it is still a beautiful colour, perfect for everyday and very wearable. I love how it goes on like a lip gloss with a easy doe-foot applicator but then instantly dries completely matte. I thought this would be very drying however once I applied it onto the lips its not very noticeable at all and the staying power is incredible- it was still on my lips at the end of the day!

I also love the packaging, the frosted glass and gold lid looks very fancy and high end and is a nice new addition to my lipstick shelf.

I am keen to venture further into the world of liquid lipstick and try out other brands to compare. I already have my eye on the Dose of Colours 'Stone' shade, it looks amazing however this brand is not stocked in the UK yet, so unsure if I can afford to spend on the high delivery but I am tempted.

Have you guys ever tried liquid lipsticks, are you a fan?

10 things people obsessed with makeup know to be true

High five to all the beauty addicts out there- I know I am not alone...

Nothing makes you more happy than when your eyebrows are freshly plucked/threaded and on point. Who knew eyebrows would be so important in life?

Owning way too many lipsticks, yet unable to resist buying more because everyone needs options, right?

You could easily spend hours on Youtube watching your favourite makeup artists and beauty gurus. How are they so accomplished in life? Teach me your ways.

Mastering the perfect winged liner will always be a proud moment- even if it did take 3 attempts.

Getting ready for a night out is the best part of your night.

Every time you go shopping you always end up coming home with some kind of beauty product. There's just so much you want to try.

Blending is everything. Foundation, eye shadow, contour, you name it, blending is key.

Loosing one of your favourite lipsticks is always a heartbreaking moment.

You never want to waste your expensive makeup on an insignificant day, but you end up doing so anyway because who knows who you might bump into.

Pretty packaging, especially anything rose gold, is your weakness. Sorry bank account.

Hope you enjoyed this lighthearted post and remember don't let anyone tell you that you own too much makeup, nobody needs that kind of negativity.

Bobbi Brown Gel Liner | Ultra Precise Eye Liner

When I sadly ran out of my favourite gel liner whilst travelling I was quick to repurchase it as soon as I came home and made a visit to the Bobbi Brown counter. One of the ladies who served me recommended the new brush, claiming to be super-fine, allowing you to apply the perfect amount of liner.
Like me, I'm sure most girls are probably familiar with the struggle of applying winged eyeliner evenly, so I bought one in the hope of achieving winged liner perfection.

In my opinion this brush lives up to its name, it is ultra precise and I have found it a dream to apply the gel liner with. It is so much better than the one I have been using for years, with better hold and control- I just wish I had been able to get my hands on this earlier. Yes it is expensive but I can see it lasting a long time, so I really think it is worth the money.

Empties: Beauty products I will be repurchasing

It seems after my little trip across Europe I have managed to run out of all my favourite products after using them daily for 4 weeks. Not great timing when everything runs out on you at once but an excuse to go on a beauty spree after all.

1. YSL Lipstick in Peach Passion
This has to be my holy grail of lipsticks, I won't venture many places without my trusted YSL, a gorgeous colour for the summer, although that doesn't stop me from wearing it all year round.

2. Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat Liner
Again, this product is something I use pretty much daily. I don't know what I did before I owned this! It's an Amazing product and in such a neutral colour, I think this should be a staple in every girls beauty bag.

3. Nivea 3 in 1 Micellar Water
I love this stuff. Being a lazy girl and not being that great at keeping up with skin care, this 3 in 1 product is fuss-free and makes my skin feel great after use. It was perfect for travelling as it didn't take up much room and is better for your skin than using makeup wipes.

4. Collection 2000 concealer
I have gone through so many of these tubes and with reason, its great coverage, blends really well and at the bargain price you can't go wrong.

5. Bobbi Brown Gel Liner
Buying this over a year ago, it has been one of my fave beauty products to use. Eye liner has never been so easy to do, it glides on smoothly and doesn't budge all day. I can't wait to try Bobbi Brown's new ultra precise brush to make application even easier.


6. Max Factor infinity primer
If you are looking for something to cover your pores and hide blemishes this is not for you. If you are looking for a basic primer that extends the wear of your makeup then this is the perfect primer. It also has spf 20, which is an added bonus for your skin.

verdict: repurchasing all (sorry bank account)

Do you own any of these products? Let me know

Giorgio Armani Luminous silk foundation | Review

I have finally got my hands on this foundation after wanting it for so long! I read so many raved reviews about this foundation and what swayed me was the idea it gave a really flawless and light weight finish, and after using it I completely agree! What is even better, is that it has no SPF, which means no horrible flash-back photos that make you look like a ghost- result!

I am currently loving this product, but because it was pretty expensive I am trying to save it for special occasions haha.
I have it in shade 6.5 which looks quite dark, but with my fake tan on, it is the perfect match.

The bottle itself feels very luxurious and comes with a pump dispenser which I have think is the best way to use foundation and so easy. Overall, it definitely lives up to the hype and is worth the hefty price tag in my opinion.

FAVE FALSIES

My eyelashes are extremely sad and even lashings of mascara can not help my poor excuse for eyelashes. If you one of those girls blessed with fabulous long eyelashes then I am very jealous. If not, like me, then falsies will become your best friend.

I love false eyelashes,they can transform your look in a instant!

I remember first trying them out and finding them quite fiddly and a lot of bother, but since wearing them on every night out for the past 3 years I have become somewhat a pro, being able to put them on in a flash and now even put them on for my friends. Be warned though, once you try them you will never look back!

After trying many different styles I always go back to the natural ones and normally use Eyelure 083 or 107, however, I think I have found my new favourite pair that are even more natural looking -the Ardell Demi Wispies and like the name they are wispy, fluttery and gorgeous on the eyes. 

Without anything 

With falsies

I love the finished look of the eyelashes

 I think the difference is huge and I would highly recommend them. The best bit is that I found them online on www.falseeyelashes.co.uk for £3.99- such a bargain!!

Does anyone else where false eyelashes? what ones do you use?

Nars Audacious Lipsticks | Review

I am a sucker for new lipstick, so I knew I had to get my hands on one of the Audacious lipsticks, when the range came out back in October. A little late to the blog but I had to tell you that 'Audrey' has probably been my most worn lipstick throughout Christmas and New Year and I don't think I will bore of it anytime soon.

The Audacious range from Nars comes in 40 wearable shades so there will definitely be a perfect shade for you. The lipstick itself is highly pigmented,non-drying on the lips and goes on so smoothly- what more could you ask for in a lipstick?

Plus, the packaging is super sleek and exciting as the lid is metallic so provides a very satisfying click on each use.

The colour 'Audrey' is a very unique and is unlike any shade I own. The best way to describe it would be, a mix between raspberry and burgandy- a really gorgeous warm colour.

Overall I would recommend this lipstick and would love to try different shades in the range. Let me know if you have tried this lipstick also?

Pillow Talk and Filmstar Bronze & Glow | Charlotte Tilbury Treats

Helloo, Happy New Year everyone! So I'm back for 2015 for a makeup post! I was extremely spoilt this year and I received so many beautiful presents under my tree, but two of my absolute favourites are my makeup gifts by Charlotte Tilbury. I have wanted to try these for soo long! Everything about the range screams luxury, from the beautiful rose gold packaging to the gorgeous shades of lippy. One of the beauty products extremely raved about this year was the lip cheat liner in 'Pillow Talk' so I just had to try it especially as I love lip liners and really think they enhance your lip shape.

 This liner definitely lived up to the hype, it is THE best liner I have used so far, it is velvety on the lips and glides on so effortlessly, unlike some cheaper liners I have tried that can sometimes be a bit chalky on the lips. It is the most perfect pinky nude colour and you can even wear this all over your lips, on its own and it still looks fab.

I was also lucky to the get the bronze and glow, contour and highlight kit and I love it. It is so pretty!! The powder is very pigmented and the colour is lovely on the skin, especially the highlighter, it adds a beautiful shimmery effect to the cheek bone. 

This will definitely be my go to bronzer from now on and I can't wait to add more Charlotte Tilbury makeup to my collection.

  Here are a couple of pictures of me using both the products..

Has anyone else tried these products? What do you think?

XMAS WISHLIST | MAKEUP

Hellooo, I've been slacking recently but I'm back and my god these weeks have gone fast..its nearly Christmaaaas and I am definitely getting into the festive spirit! 
My mum has recently asked me what I wanted gift wise and my immediate thought was makeup(I can't help it) I am constantly seeing new products I am desperate to try them..but with little money and being a student I have resisted. So, I thought I would share some of the makeup that I have been lusting after ...

1. Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation

I love finding new foundations and I have been using Rimmel's Wake Me Up foundation for a while now, and although it does the job I really wanted to find a foundation that is more natural looking and this one has amazing reviews, saying it gives such a flawless look. Being quite pricey at £36, it would be the ideal treat from Santa.

2. Charlotte Tillbury- Film star Killer Cheekbone Set: Bronze and Glow

The Beauty world has gone slightly contour crazy, with people wanting to re-create Kim Kardashian's famous sculpted face, I too have decided to jump on the band wagon and I am intrigued to see if contouring really does work. Charlotte Tillbury, who is a famous makeup artist for the stars brought this filmstar set out and I am dying to try it. Just look at the packaging, it oozes glamour and luxury and will look beautiful on my dresser.

3. Charlotee Tillbury- Lip Cheat:Pillow Talk and Lipstick:Bitch Perfect

The other Kardashian always in the media is Kylie Jenner, with lots of debate about her lips, are they fake? Is it just lip liner? Who cares, they look good and everyone wants to achieve this fuller lip. One product which is frequently mentioned is the lip cheat Pillow Talk, the perfect 'your lips but better' shade. I use lip liner and have to say they really do enhance your lips, they make your lipstick last longer and just overall add more definition to your lips. I have a feeling this will be my go-to lip product in the future. Again the packaging is soo pretty, I want all of Charlotte Tillbury's range!

4. Anastasia Beverley Hills- Dipbrow Pomade

 I don't know if I am slow, but I recently found this brand on Instagram as I had seen a few people tag this product when it came to eyebrows. It seems to be a cult beauty buy and I really cool new way to transform eyebrows. Being a big eyebrow person I am keen to get my hands on these so I can see if they live up to the hype. They also come in a whole host of colours to suit everyone's shade.

5.Mac Pigments

 Who doesn't love glitter!? It makes me so excited and I wish I could wear glitter on my face everyday, if only it was acceptable :( But as we are getting into the Christmas party season glitter is the perfect way to glam up an outfit. All of these shades are to die for and would look amazing on the eyes,

I hope you liked this post and I have given you guys some Makeup inspiration. If anyone has tried these products I would love to hear your thoughts?

MY FAVE FAKE TAN

Hellooo, its been a while! It seems Uni has already taken over my life and going out all the time has really put a pause on the blogging! But I'm back and after all my nights out it has led me to find the most perfect fake tan!

I am an avid tanner and I live by the quote 'Life is better with a tan'. it just is. Now we have moved into autumn this is something I definitely had to invest in. I have tried many fake tans over the years and none compare to this one: XEN TAN absolute dark luxe. Don't be scared by the ultra dark label as it comes out a gorgeous olivey brown and definitely not orange like some other products. It is really easy to apply I use a tanning mitt, put it on the night before and and the next morning you just wash it off in the shower and you are left with a streak free 'just come back from holiday' tan. The price tag is pretty hefty but I bought mine from feel unique for £24.99, so less expensive than boots which sells it for nearly £10 more! It also lasts a really long time about 5 days and fades evenly. If anyone is looking for a really good fake tan than go try this I promise its good :)

FOTD | How much is my face worth!?

Helloo, so this tag has been around a while but I've always wanted to do it, so why not? I'm so interested to find out how much my face is worth although I'm probably in for a shock.

I don't really have an 'everyday' makeup look as I am constantly changing it up depending on my mood so I just decided to do it on a day when I was going out and use that makeup.

I kinda went for a kylie Jenner inspired look today so I apologise for the pouty pictures! I love the nude lip look so I went for a darker lip today using my new Nyx lip liner in Coffee!

(sorry the photo's are not that great quality)

My Makeup:

Collection 2000 concealer £4.19

Benefit Big Beautiful Eyes £25.50

Rimmel Wake me up foundation £8.99

Naked 2 Palette £37

MUA Bronzing Powder £1

Clarins Bronzing Duo £28

Lancome Hypnose Doll Eyes Mascara £22.50

Bobbi Brown Gel Liner £18

Nyx LiP liner £3.50

Clarins Rouge Eclat Lipstick in Woodrose £19.50

Total: £140.18!!

Woah. Okay that is ALOT of money, I have one pricey face! Haha! It does seem a bit ridiculous but Makeup is the one thing in my life that I like to splurge my money on and I enjoy buying luxury items now and again.I don't think I will change my ways but it was fun to do this and interesting to find out.

Hope you liked this post and comment below if you know how much your face is worth, would love to know?

Review | Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish

Helloo, I know I am a bit late to the game and there has already been plenty of raving to do with this product all over the blogger world, but recently when my mum gave me some to try out I was very excited to see for myself if it lived up to the hype.

Firstly the smell of Eucalyptus and Rosemary is so lovely and fresh and not too overpowering that some facial products tend to be. It works like a dream and such a simple and effective way of taking off makeup and also cleansing and polishing the face. I love it so much so that I think this might be the product to change my skincare routine which before this lazily consists of taking my makeup off with a wipe, which is a real no no in the beauty world.(I’m sorry)

It is non-irritant on the skin and the hot-cloth method of removing the cream is a real treat and one which I enjoy doing. After using it for a few weeks I can definitely see an improvement in my skin and after each use I notice my skin is brighter and feels instantly more rejuvenated.

I would definitely recommend this product!

Has anyone else used this?

Top 5 Lipsticks

From Left to right:
Mac Lipstick in Shy Girl
YSL Rouge Volupte in Peach Passion
L'Oreal Colour Riche in Crazy Fuschia
Nars Lipstick in Jungle Red
Mac Lipstick in Rebel

Is there such a thing as owning too many lipsticks? I think not. If there’s one thing I continually spend my money on that I don’t really need, its lipstick, with a growing collection I thought I would share with you some of my faves. This post was inspired by the lovely Zoella who recently did a blog post on her top 5. I have included all different colours suitable for all occasions, ranging from the everyday lip colours to the more daring darker lip, perfect for a night out on the toon (yes, I like to think I’m a Geordie).

As you can see I have two Mac lipsticks in this collection, many people would say Mac are the lipstick queens and I couldn’t really argue with them. They are brilliant. First up I include Mac’s ‘Shy Girl’, this is the ultimate nude and for me it complements my olivey skin tone perfectly and I love pairing this with a black smokey eye on a night out! It is a cremesheen finish, which means it has a creamy texture and is non-drying on the lips, however the only downside is the longevity, which is maybe not as good as other lipsticks and you may find yourself re-applying it more often.

Next up is The YSL Rouge Volupte in Peach Passion, and oh my, this is my favourite lipstick, especially in summer. The colour is a gorgeous coral peachy colour and looks fab with a tan, it is moisturising but the pigmentation is still really good. The packaging is very luxurious and pretty, making it a real treat to put on your lipstick. Simple pleasures, right?

The only lipstick I chose which is not a high-end product is the L’oreal Colour Riche in ‘Crazy Fuschia’. The colour of this is the perfect ‘barbie pink’ and it really adds a pop of colour to your face. Another great summer shade.

4^th in line is ‘Jungle red’ by Nars and as a lover of matte lipsticks I love this, it is the perfect bright red statement lip. The texture is great,it glides onto the lips smoothly but then has a matte finish on the lips. It has excellent staying power and would definitely last a whole night out partying!

Lastly is another Mac lipstick called ‘Rebel’, this colour is pretty unique, I would describe it as a deep plum/berry and although probably more suited for the autumn and winter I thought I would include it. I like wearing this on a night up to give my outfit that vampy feel and with it being extremely pigmented, it is a dream to wear.

I hope you enjoyed this post, What is your favourite lipstick?

The Liebster Award

Recently I was nominated for The Liebster Award by Victoria from moderngirlrecommends. Big thank you for the nomination! 

So here are the rules... 

You must answer all questions that are given to you
Must link back to the person that nominated you
Nominate 11 bloggers who have less than 200 followers
Provide nominees with 11 questions of your choice
Cannot nominate the person who nominated you
Must inform nominees of your nomination
Provide nominees with a link to your post for more info

So Here are the Questions I answered:

1.If you can travel to any destination right now where would it be?

Probably Ibiza, it seems like it is the place to be right now what with every celeb being spotted there, Justin Bieber, Orlando Bloom, the Kardashians and I certainly wouldn’t mind bumping into Leonardo  DiCaprio who is also holidaying there. I would love to get some of my girlfriends together, hop on a plane and just live it up and party in Ibiza.

2.What are three of your favorite books or magazines?

            I love reading so this is a toughie but recently I read ‘Me before you’ by Jojo Moyes and I just loved it so at the moment I would have to say that. I also love Harry Potter books and my favourite Magazine would have to be Company or Glamour.

     3. Summer or Winter what is your favorite season?

Now I love summer, but considering we never really get a proper summer in England (this year has been the exception) I think I would say winter. I love wrapping up warm and I prefer the fashions in Winter, Christmas time is such an exciting time of year and makes me really happy just spending time with family, eating loads of yummy food and singing Christmas songs.

4.What made you take the leap to become a blogger?

For ages now I have been reading other peoples blogs and I love reading them so I thought why not give it a go, I also love being able to have somewhere to write down all my thoughts or blog about anything I love, which is a lot of things.

5.What is your favorite type of flower?

This is fairly boring but I would have to say roses they are so pretty.

6.Which do you prefer going to the beach or hanging out at the lake?

BEACH. I am 100% a beach person, I love everything about it, I could spend all day just sunbathing swimming in the sea and people watching it’s so interesting.

7. Favourite car/ dream car?

I am really not a car person and no nothing about cars so I don’t know, something quick, sporty and girly?

8. All-time favorite dessert?

Chocolate cake or anything with chocolate, I am addicted.

9. Ideal/dream  date cool and calm, or fancy, which do you prefer?

Something cool, I would like to do something really fun, spontaneous and a bit different, where we could have a laugh doing it.

10.Which do you prefer watching movies at home or at the movie theater ?

Hmm I like both,  but I think I prefer watching movies at home as it is more relaxing and you can get really cosy and eat loads of food, and I also have a laugh with your friends.

11. If you could use only one makeup product for the rest of your life what would it be?

I would choose bronzer, I live by it and use it pretty much everyday. I love how it can give you that sun kissed glow even in the winter months. It also really enhances your tan in the summer and I think I would be really lost without it.

I nominate the following people, Annie, Emily,  Emma, Lauren, Helen,  Alexandria, Ana, Claire,  Emily, Aimee and Em.

Here are my questions for you to answer:

1.       If you could only wear one makeup brand, what would it be?

2.       Who is your celebrity crush?

3.       What is your guilty pleasure?

4.       What made you start blogging?

5.       What is your dream holiday?

6.       Favourite TV programme?

7.       Lipstick or Mascara?

8.       What is your favourite Disney movie?
