The Liebster Award



So I was tagged to do this post by the wonderful Charlotte! Her blog is lovely lovely lovely and I'm so glad I was introduced to it. This is such a nice tag because it's there for all of us who are only just starting up into this blogging business. As I've understood, you have to answer the 11 questions given to you by your nominator, and then tag another 11 blogs that have under 200 followers, providing them with your own questions.

I think these questions are so interesting and I'm really excited to answer them and then make my own!
  1. Your house is burning to the ground; what is the one possession you save from the blaze?
    WIthout sounding heartless, I am assuming that my parents and my little kitty cats have been saved from the flames, and so they are no longer my first priority haha! I think I would probably save (this sounds so lame) a box that I keep in my room full of things like photographs and birthday cards, as well as old family artefacts that would be missed so much. There are also things like old tickets and things in there that are full of memories, and also a book that belongs to me and my best friend that I would cry and cry over the loss of!

  2. In the fire you can only save one base product, one blush/bronzer, one eye product, one mascara, and one lip product. What do you choose?
    This is a bit easier! For my base product I would choose my Clarins HydraQuench tinted moisturizer. (recommended to me by my granny haha) For my blush/bronzer I would probably choose Benefit's 'Hervana'. For my eye product I would honestly choose my MUA Chocolate Box eyeshadow trio even though I'm pretty sure it's like £2! For my mascara I would probably choose my Lord & Berry mascara which has treated me well for over a year (is that bad?) Finally, for the lip product, I would choose Pillar Box Red by Barry M.

  3. What is your signature scent?
    I would probably say either New York CIty by Sarah Jessica Parker (which I still have a bottle of- it was my first perfume and I got rather attached to it!) or Dot by Marc Jacobs which I got for my birthday last year, and I haven't worn anything else since!

  4. Holy grail beauty item?
    Jeez Louise this is going to sound so typical but it is probably Benefit's 'They're Real!' mascara because I don't think there is any makeup item that can look as good by itself. If you don't want to spends ages whacking shit on your face then you literally just have to put on this mascara and it makes it look like you've put in effort as well as simultaneously having enough natural attractiveness to not have to hide your face in makeup!

  5. TV show you are currently loving?
    Well right now I am so glad that Some Girls has come back on because that show is the bomb! I am also so happy about the return of Downton Abbey because I missed it so much and then there's the Great British Bake Off which I will always watch religiously! 

  6. Why do you blog?
    It's something that I actually really enjoy doing. Even though it doesn't look like it, when I'm in the mood to write about makeup and fashion I could do it all day and night! I realised this when I saw how many blogs I follow of others and I thought, there is nothing else I would rather do with my time! Hopefully as my blog expands, I can be the source of enjoyment and inspiration of others just like myself!

  7. Who's a band/artist you'd love to see live, but never have?
    Cliché alert but definitely Beyoncé! I have a friend who went and said it was so amazing. There are probably hundreds of bands and artists that I would love to see but if I could go and see the queen of fierce then I would. How many singers are there that you can see live, knowing that many songs by them? (Lucy I would take you of course and we would jam to Love On Top.)

  8. What event in your life are you most looking forward to in the near future?
    Actually this is the perfect question for me because on Tuesday I am going to China with my school! This is such an exciting opportunity and I am so giddy about it.

  9. What one item of clothing will you be wearing non-stop this A/W?
    Definitely my newest scarf from Zara that I got in Barcelona. I didn't realise how popular it was until I saw some youtubers hauling it so I'm chuffed I got ahead of that trend! It's basically red tartan on one side and sort of houndstooth on the other, but it is big enough to wear as a scarf, shawl or a blanket!

  10. And what one beauty item will you be using non-stop this A/W?
    Probably my newest Barry M nail varnish in Matte Black because it is so perfect for fall and looks so great with everything! I have been wanting a Matte Black polish, or at least top coat, for so long and even contemplated splashing on the Chanel one, but I patiently waited and now I have one for four quid! So affordable and doesn't chip at all, I love it.

  11. I know it's months away, but any thoughts about what will be top of your Christmas wish list?
    It is never too early to start a     wish list! I think the top of mine would probably be a polaroid camera, or maybe a glossybox subscription! There are also some headphones from Urbanears I've had my eye on, oh god the list is growing already...
Wow okay so that was the first thing I have ever been tagged in, so I'm feeling quite giddy with excitement at the moment! The 11 people that I want to tag are the following: 


Steph and Libby from rosesandringlets.blogspot.com










The questions that I have given you are:

  1. What is your favourite big-budget cosmetic item?
  2. What is your favourite high street cosmetic item?
  3. What is your guilty pleasure when it comes to a band/artist?
  4. Who is your favourite blogger and why?
  5. Do you prefer S/S or A/W fashion and why?
  6. Would you rather go out with a makeup look that focuses on eyes or lips?
  7. What is a TV show that you are mourning the ending of recently? (I'm thinking BrBa!)
  8. What high end beauty product are you pining for at the moment?
  9. If you could only use one makeup brand for the rest of your life, what would it be?
  10. What is a film that you've seen recently that you would recommend to others?
  11. (Stealing this one from Charlotte!) What is your signature scent?
