Liebester Award

Hello! I'd like to thank Gabriella for the nomination for the Liebster Award. Gabriella has a great blog that you should definitely go and check out! 

I had never heard of the Liebster Award before, so I did some research to find out and it looked very interesting. The award is given to up coming bloggers to inspire and encourage them to continue doing such amazing work! The word 'Liebster' is German and it means lovely and pleasant.

What is your must have Autumn/Winter lipstick?
Mine would have to be Elizabeth Arden "Breathless" (number 17). This is because it goes with every outfit and my lips really dry out in the Autumn/Winter season and this just helps them last that little bit longer. 

What got you into blogging?
This is going to be a long answer! The reason I got into blogging was because I wanted to be able to help other people, because not everyone knows about Beauty, Fashion & Lifestyle. It was also a way of getting my opinion across, I liked the thought of having a audience and people knowing who I'am. I'm also youtube/blogger obbessed, I'm always reading or watching the 'big' people so I really wanted to be like them. 

Who do you admire and why?
I don't ever think, I want to be 'her' but I do get ideas from different people and make my own sort of style. For fashion & beauty I always go to Ellie Goulding, I think she has such simple but classy looks. I never think 'Oh that outfit looks bad on her'. So I guess I do admire her for her Fashion & Beauty. 

What is your 'go-to' outfit?
I have to admit I dress very boringly! My go-to outfit would be very simple and just my black jeans/leggings, chelsea style boots and a knitted jumper with my tartan scarf! Simply because it is so warm yet comfortable. 

What is your favourite fashion shop?
This is difficult as I really like 2! I'm torn between Topshop & Jack Wills. I have alot of Jack Wills but I also have alot of Topshop. They both have very different styles and sometimes Topshop has more of what I like, but then sometimes Jack Wills does. I would have to say they are at the top together! 

Top 3 perfect makeup products (drugstore)?
The first one would have to The Bodyshop BB Cream. I love this, its so easy to wear but sometimes you really have to work it to get the flawless finish but its worth it in the end! 
The next one would have to be Bourjois Delice de Poudre Bronzing Powder Peaux Claires/Medianes. This is a really good bronzer and looks like chocolate! 
My last one is eyes and I really love this because you can do so many different looks with it! It is called 17 Create the Look - Natural Eyes. 

Top 3 perfect makeup products (high end)?
The first one is my Benefit Most Glamorous Nudes Ever. This is a palette that can take you from day to night and you can really make the most out of it. I really like this palette and its defiantly one to check out! 
The next one is my Benefit They're Real Mascara, I love this and eventhough its waterproof you dont have to scrub your eyes to get it off and it lasts all day! 
The next one would have to be my Benefit Hello Flawless Powder, this is amazing and really does make you look flawless! 

What are your worst habits?
This is disgusting but when I get stressed or anxious or sometimes just simply boredom, I pick my nails! I don't bite them but I pick all of the white bit off, it makes my hands and nails really sore but I can't not do it! I have done it for so many years now! 

Favourite song atm (at the moment)?
Mine would have to be G.R.L Ugly Heart. It is really catchy and is just a really nice song to listen to.

What's your favourite quote?
"You use your past, to build your future"

If you had to choose between Mac or Benefit which one and why?
Benefit, simply because I have never had a chance to properly use the MAC Products regularly! Also the Benefit Products really help my skin,

Favourite time of the year?
Summer, I love going out in the sun and there is so much more different styles!
