Liebster Award - Round 2

So too my astonishment I have been nominated once again for the Liebster Award thanks too: http://mystyleanthology.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/liebster-blog-award.html . Go check her out as she has some great blog posts that you should all go and read!


 
So if you don't already know what the Liebster Award is about or what you have to do, go to my other post to see the information, also where you can see me answering some questions that were given too me. click here
 
So shall we begin?
 
Questions:
 
1. When did you start blogging?
 
Well, to be honest I haven't been a blogger for a while, I started back in May this year but its only been recently where I've really been into it all.
 
2. What is your most exciting part of blogging?
 
The most exciting part for me about blogging is when someone says something positive about your blog, it makes me happy knowing that someone, even if its just a couple of people, are reading and liking my blog.

3. What are 3 of your favourite hobbies (beside blogging!)?

Well you probably won't know this but I'm a dancer, I do a little of contemporary and then street. My second hobby would be netball, I play Goal Attack for the school team and that's probably the one sport in school that I love playing. Then finally I would definitely have to say shopping, I don't think that any beauty and fashion bloggers don't like a little bit of shopping every now and then, right?!

4. What is your favourite season?

Ooh this is a hard one, its either between Summer or Winter, I love Winter because of the nights in by the fire and the fact that its near Christmas, but I think that I would have to say Summer just because everyone in Summer seems to be more chilled and relaxed, also the warm weather (that's if England has any!!)

5. Who is your idol?

I don't know if you mean celebrity or not so I'll just interpret it myself! I would have to say my sister, me and my sister I think have a great bond, she's 19, 20 soon and I'm 14, were not a similar age but we still get along so well, we tell each other everything and I love her to pieces!

6. What is the one thing you cannot live without?

This is an easy one, CHOCOLATE BISCUITS!! If you didn't know already, I have a crazy obsession with chocolate biscuits, (weird I know) all my friends and family make a joke about it but there just so delicious!

7. What is your top tip for new bloggers?

If you love blogging and all aspects off it then don't give up, sometimes you might think that nobody is reading or taking any interest in it but it all takes time.

8. What is your favourite TV show?

I can't just choose one so it would have to be 'Made In Chelsea', I love knowing the gossip and what's happening in peoples love life's, and then i looove 'Keeping up with the Kardashians,' they have to be my favourite celebrity family, all of them are just so funny and great to watch, both shows get me hooked!

9. What is your favourite song?

Well as my friend Chloe ( candlesandcurls) said in her blog post, my favourite song is young and beautiful by Lana Del Rey, its just so powerful and heart warming to listen too! I listened to it that much that I even got her liking it too! As you can tell its a very attaching song!

10. What is your favourite blog post you have written?

Uhm I would have to say my first ever post 'Foundation Face', it was the first time I had written a proper post and I was so pleased with myself!

11. What is the best piece of advice you have been given?

Well a couple of days ago I wrote on twitter that I didn't feel like anyone was reading my blog, and I don't know his full name but http://www.stylishengland.blogspot.co.uk/ gave me a link to a blog which was telling me about dealing with success and failure, and this post truly changed my mood! There were some really good advice given and really helped me! Go check out her page here!

As I have already written a Liebster Award post before, I thought that I wont nominated again as a lot of people have already been nominated! So thanks again for nominating me, it was lovely too find out again!
 
Thanks for reading,

liebster award

Hey everyone! So I was nominated for the Liebster Award by Paige Bond ( pb-beauty.blogspot.com ) thank you very much by the way, go check her blog out, she has some amazing posts! For those who don't know the Liebster Award is given to up coming bloggers with less than 200 followers, it's a great way for fellow bloggers to interact and find out more about each other! 



There are certain rules you have to do for this award though..

1. The person who tagged you in this has to give you 11 questions for you too answer on your blog.

2. Then you have to create some questions yourself.

3. And with those 11 questions you tag 11 people to answer them:)

got it?ok, let's go!

Liebster questions:

1. Who is your fashion or beauty inspiration?

I'd say that Alexa Chung really inspires me as she is one of my role models in the fashion industry. Her fashion sense really appeals too me and I take good interest in her.

2. What is your current favourite fashion or makeup trend?

 Well I love rolling up my jeans or leggings and wearing some trainers (my favourite are my Nike air force or Addidas gazelles) I think it gives it quite a casual look.

3. If you had to choose, what is your favourite makeup brand (drugstore or high-end)?

My favourite makeup brand has to be MAC, its just really good quality and even though it can be quite expensive, it is definitely worth it!

4. If you could have 3 beauty products for the rest of your life, what would they be?

A must have for me would have to foundation, purely because it covers up all your blemishes and makes you look a lot more presentable, then mascara because my eyelashes are very small and a little bit of mascara really opens my eyes up. Then finally it would have to be some kind of lip product, you've got to make sure your lips are in good condition and are moisturised especially during the Autumn/Winter time.

5. What made you start blogging?

Well I am a huge fan of my sisters blog, I loved reading hers and watching her put it all together and because I thought it looked amazing I just thought why not, there's nothing really I could loose from it.

6. What's your favourite thing about blogging?

My favourite part is getting to talk to other bloggers who have the same interest in me, its great to know that there are so many people my age that have the enthusiasm for fashion and beauty like me!

7. On average how long does it take you to get ready?

Uhm probably about 1 and a half hours, that's washing my hair, applying my make-up, styling my hair and having to choose an outfit.

8. Where is your favourite place to shop for make-up (in-store or online)?

My all time favourite place to shop for make-up is Selfridges, there's just so much selection you can choose from and you will always find something you love. But I also love my local Superdrug or boots which also have a good selection of drugstore products.

9. Where is your favourite place to shop for clothes (in-store or online)?

I'm obsessed with Topshop of course, who isn't? And I also think that American Apparel really suits my dress sense, but for me some of the clothing items are a little pricey for what I can afford but its always nice to spend a little money every now and then.

10. What beauty products do you splurge on?

I have a little obsession with lipsticks, don't think I can go a day without putting some colour on my lips, so yes I would have to admit I do splurge on lipsticks quite a lot.
 
11. What is your ultimate dream/goal for your blog?

I hope that people read my blog and enjoy it, they find something in common with me and want to read my blog frequently.

My 11 questions

1.Where is your favourite place to shop for make-up? (online or in store)?

2. Where is your favourite place to shop for clothes? (online or in store)?

3. If you had to only use one make-up product for the rest off your life what would it be?

4. What do you love the most about blogging?

5. What is your autumn time essential?
