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?

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?

Gossip Girl Tag

Yes,I am a girly girl and yes, I am OBSESSED and always will be with Gossip Girl. It is my favourite TV show of all time, focusing on the ‘scandalous lives of Manhattan’s elite’, and arguably starring the best looking cast ever!

After the show coming to an end about a year and a half ago (sob) and after religiously watching all six seasons, I was left with a feeling of loss and left thinking if any another show would be able to fill my GG shaped hole of the fashionable, fabulous and scheming Upper East-Siders.

Well there’s always more shows to binge-watch on Netflix.

Or re-watching all the Gossip Girl series from start to finish, again.There's that too.

In the mean-time here's the tag..

        1. How did you discover the show?

I actually can’t remember sadly, I think I might have just come across it on my own as I’m pretty sure I was the first out of my friends to start watching it, telling anyone who would listen, to do the same-I still do this with my Uni friends.

2. Who's your favorite character?

Blair Waldorf. She is Queen B and no other character compares, she is classy and fabulous and her wardrobe is a never ending source of envy. She can be a bit of a bitch but I kinda love that, she is strong, ambitious and always goes after what she wants, often leading to her evil scheming and manipulation. However, she does have another side, I more softer, insecure side and her relationship with Chuck Bass is just perfect.

         3.Who would you see yourself being friends with on the show?

I honestly do not know who I would be friends with, I would like to think Serena and Blair but then I don’t know how I would have coped with their scheming ways and they were fairly mean to each other.

4. Chair, or Dair?

Its all about CHAIR. I love Chuck Bass and Blair Waldorf, the beloved TV couple whose on-off relationship throughout the series is a source of happiness but also heart-ache for most fans, as most of the time things do not go to plan.

5. What's your favourite ship that would never actually happen?

Hmm this is a hard one. Maybe Lily and Nate, he did love the older women and this would certainly have caused a whole load of drama.

6. If you were to be a character who would you be?

Can I be Blair, she is my fave after all

7. Have you read the book series?

No I dint even realise there was a book series oops

8. Who's your crush on the show?

Chuck bass, he is beautiful, charming, stylish and when he says the words,'im chuck bass’ I think I die a little. He is also the epitome of the ‘bad boy’ that every girl loves right?  I do think I’m a little bit sad to be so obsessed with a fictional character as I am with chuck bass but oh well.

9. What was your first initial thought of the show?

.. I loved it

I love discussing gossip girl, especially after I have recommended it to someone so, if you have any thoughts I would love to hear.

xoxo
