Liebster Award #4 and #5

Hi lovelies!

So I have been nominated for the Liebster Award for a 4th and 5th time. So a big thanks to Sophie from Sophie Kristensen and Sammie from sammiesextraordiarylife. Both of these guys have fabulous blogs so please all go on over and check them out!

Sophie's Questions:

1.What is your favorite food?

I would say a nice piece of steak.

2. Why did you start blogging?

Well I started reading Tanya Burr's and Zoella's blogs a few years ago, so they inspired me to start. But I never thought anyone would actually read my blog, so I never went ahead and made one straight away. I am so glad I did started though!

3. Do you have a DIY remedy you swear by?

Not really :')

4. What is your dream for your blog?

Who wouldn't want it to be something they could do 24/7 and make a living from it? But being more realistic, I want to just keep making content people enjoy :)

5. Where do you get ideas for your posts?

Trying out new products and just general life I think, Ideas just pop into my mind :')

6. Where do you get fashion inspiration from?

I love reading magazines, especially Company, they have amazing fashion sections. 

7. Do you see yourself blogging for many more years to come?

Yes for sure, I really enjoy blogging and speaking to all you guys, it's a place I can come to and share my thoughts and opinions. 

8. Makeup product you can’t live without (one high end + one drugstore)?

High end would be the Stila "All you need is love" blush palette, it creates a beautiful sheen on your cheeks, it's perfect for an everyday look. Drugstore I would say the Collection lasting perfection concealer. In my opinion, and I think a lot of you will agree, it is the best drugstore concealer.

9. Where do you see yourself in 5-10 years?

Doing a job I really enjoy, and owning a little cottage.

10. What are your top 3 favorite series?

The Inbetweeners, Miranda, and MIC. 

11. If you could choose any place to live, where would it be?

I think it would be Australia, it is such a beautiful country and the lifestyle seems amazing.

Sammie's Questions:

1. What is one thing that you couldn't live without?

Definitely my family. But if we are talking about like gadgets and gizmos, I would have to say the internet. When it has been down in the past I have withdrawal symptoms :')

2) What is your favourite sweet/ chocolate?

My favourite sweets are Sherbet Lemons of course!

3) Where would you like to see yourself in 10 years time?

Doing a job I really enjoy, and owning a little cottage.

4) If you could be anyone for a day, who would it be?

That's a difficult question, maybe the Queen, that would be fun!

5) Whats your most proudest moment?

Probably passing my A levels and being accepted into uni or passing my driving test.

6) Who would you love to meet?

Matty Healy from The 1975, so I could ask him to marry me.

7) If you could travel anywhere, where would you go?

Australia for sure.

8) Favourite colour?

Yellow, purple or Grey

9) Favourite make up brand?

Revlon or Bourjois, I can never make up my mind!

10) Have you met any celebrity's?

I met Matt Richardson (comedian and tv presenter) after his show in March.

11) What one thing really annoys you?

Rude people!

I have been nominated for all these awards in the space of few months, and I haven't really come across anymore blogs to nominate, so I am going to through it out to you guys. If you know someone who deserves a Liebster award nominate them, and ask them 11 questions!

I want to say another big thank you to Sophie and Sammie, and to all of you guys that continue to read my blog! I love you all :)

Liebster Award #3

Hello Lovelies!

I have been nominated for another Liebster Award, so a big thank you to the fabulous Rebecca from http://rsperrink.blogspot.co.uk/ her blog is great so you guys should go on over and check it out :)

The Rules

1. Link back to the person that nominated you

2. Answer all the questions that you are given

3. Choose 11 bloggers with less than 200 followers to nominate

4. Pick 11 questions for them to answer and let them know.

Rebecca's Questions

1. In your opinion what is the best way to remove make up?

Well I use a cleanser to remove my make up, then I use a toner.

2. Waterproof mascara or regular mascara?

I definitely prefer waterproof mascara, especially with the rainy weather we usually have, mascara running down your face and around your eyes isn't a good look :') 

3. What is the best beauty product out there?

That's a difficult question! I couldn't really say because I haven't tried everything out there, but the best product I have tried is the Revlon Colourstay foundation. 

4. Is there one item of food or drink that you think can help improve your appearance (e.g. skin, eyes, hair)?

I'm no expert but since I have been trying to drink more water I have noticed my skin has been a lot better.

5. Which beauty products are worth spending more money on?

I think foundation is something worth spending more on, the more expensive brands tend to give better, long-lasting, coverage. But I have found some good cheaper alternatives, as I love a bargain, I recently tried an Essence foundation and loved it (I will review it soon!)

6. How long do you think you will be blogging for?

I have never really thought about when I will stop blogging. Hopefully it's something I will continue to do for a long time. It will be cool in the future to look back and see what I was loving when I was younger :')

7. What kind of response have you had to your blog?

Everyone has been lovely about my blog, I always get sweet comments and people seem to enjoy reading my posts :)

8. What is the best thing about blogging?

Getting to talk about what I love with people that share the same interests. But above all the people, there are so many lovely people that read my blog and leave nice comments, everyone supports each other. 

9. Is there a downside to blogging?

There isn't a real downside, sometimes I don't have enough time to get my posts out eg. may this year :') , and I felt really bad, you have to get your self all organised for sure.

10.  Do you have any tips or tricks that you would share with your younger self about make-up?

Experiment more, find those colours that suit you and have fun with make up.

11. Have you ever had any embarrassing hair/fashion/make-up moments?

Nothing that really springs to mind, but i'm sure I wore some bad clothes when I was younger!

Liebster Award #2

Hello Lovelies!

yayyy I have been nominated for another Liebster Award, so a big thanks to the fab Mary Lou over at Bean to Beauty. I love her blog, so it would be great if you guys go on over and check it out!

The rules are: 

1. You have to link back to the person that nominated you.

2. You must answer all 11 questions given to you by the person who nominated you.

3. After completing these questions you must nominate 11 bloggers with under 200 followers and give them 11 questions of your choice.

4. You must not nominate the person who nominated you.

5. You must let your nominees know that they have been nominated and provide a link for them to your post so that they can learn about it.

My Answers:

1. When do you feel your best?

First thing in the morning after I have had a good nights sleep.

2.Have you ever experimented with colouring your own hair?

Well I have my hair highlighted by my hairdresser, but I have never drastically changed from my natural colour, or dyed my hair myself.

3. If you had to eat the same meal for seven days straight, what would it be?

That's a difficult question! Probably a roast dinner with all the trimmings. Roast beef, roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, carrots .. mmmmm :P

4. Do you have a natural home remedy you swear by?

Not really :')

5. Is there a makeup artist you admire?
I love Tanya Burr. She makes awesome videos on You Tube that are easy to follow, and I have learnt a lot, in fact most of what I know about makeup, from her. I really enjoy reading her blog too!

6. What is your life saving beauty product in the summer months?

I'm not sure if you could class after sun as a beauty product, but it is a life saving product during the summer. It re-hydrates your skin when it's been exposed to the sun all day and is really cooling.

7. What is the best concert you have been to?

That is another hard question because I have been to so many! I have two overall favorites though. The first one is 5SOS, I went in February to the Manchester show, and after waiting for years I was so glad I got to see them. They are such a great band and interacted well with the audience, I just love them :') My other fave has to be seeing Justin Timberlake in April. He knows how to put on a show!

8. Tea or Coffee?

It has to be coffee, I drink way too much :D 

9. If you had to impress somebody with dinner, what would you cook?

With having an Indian background I have grown up around my family cooking curries, so I would probably go with that. But I guess it would have to be quite a mild one, it would be a bit embarrassing if it set their mouth on fire :') 

10. Do you prefer lipstick, tinted balms or lip gloss?

I love lipsticks. Now days most lipsticks are moisturising, therefore you get better colour then if you were to just use a tinted balm. I find as well lipstick just finishes a look and brings it together.

11. Sparkly eye shadow. Good or bad idea?

I would say it can look good for a going out look, and is really effective for stage makeup. I guess it depends on how much sparkle, a little shimmer is ok for daytime, but full on glitter is better saved for a different occasion. 

I nominate :

1. Floor - Floors World 

2. Georgina - Shine A Bright Light 

3. Jenny - Dream In Pink

4. Claire - Sprinkle of Claire

5. Amanda - Big Primpin Beauty

6. Madison - Madi Makeup Junkie

7. Kierra - A Pretty Thought

8. Ella - Ella Was Here
9. Emily - The Dreaming Lily
10. Natasha - Natasha Paris Blog
11. Amanda - Amanda's Escape

2. Is there a story/meaning behind your blog name?
3. What would be your perfect holiday (vacation)?
4. Who is your favourite band/singer?
5. What would be your dream job?
