The Beauty Blogger | TAG

Source
 *I actually wrote this post back in August but completely  forgot about it, I found it in my drafts this morning so decided to put it up*

Hey everyone,

I was tagged by the lovely Hannah from Hannah Hepton to do this tag. She has a lovely blog, you should all go check her out :)

1. Name a beauty routine you barely do
Eyebrows, my main worry is that I'll make my eyebrows look too dark and totally wrong. I find eyebrows are one of those things that if you do wrong, you do them very wrong and it's pretty noticeable. Also, being blonde I find it harder to find anything that would match my eyebrow colour so when I do try to fill them in they look too brown or too ashy. I'm currently trying to fix this by doing my eyebrows more but I still neglect them a bit.

2. Is washing your makeup brushes something you do regularly?
Quite regularly, sometimes though I get so busy I really can't be bothered. I'm good with washing my eye brushes and they are easy to wash and dry quickly. I hate washing my foundation brush and blush brush though, they have so much product in them and it takes forever to get out.

3. How long will you last with chip nails? 
It really depends, if I'm just chilling in the house then I won't care and will let them get as chipped as possible. If I'm seeing friends or going for a night out I always repaint them to make sure they are chipped, nothing worse than really chipped nail polish.

4. How long do you put off buying/replacing a beauty or nail polish product even if you need it? (i.e. top coat, foundation and so on)
 It depends on if I can afford it at the time. For example, my Urban Decay Setting Spray has currently run out and it used to be a staple in my daily routine, however it's on the pricier side so I haven't been able to replace it yet. However, I always make sure I replace foundation/mascara etc straight away, whether it be a repurchase or a new buy.

5. What’s your worst beauty habit?
Biting my nails, I don't even realise I'm doing it and my nails are so weak because of it. I'm not so bad at doing it anymore, but my nails are already so weak they just break so easily.

6. Name something non beauty related you put off doing all of the time. 
Laundry, it's boring and it takes ages. I'm lucky in that I have quite a lot of clothes so I just wear all my clothes until I have nothing left and have to do the washing.

7. When going out somewhere, do you leave getting ready until the last minute or not?
Nope, unless it's a spur on the moment thing. I generally take about an hour and a half to get ready (washing and drying my hair takes up a lot of that) so make sure to start getting ready with enough time to spare, I hate rushing.

8. Can you commit to spending bans? 
I've never been on a spending ban but I have to budget because of my student loan so can't buy anywhere near what I would like to.

9. How organised are your makeup and nail polish collections? 
Not at all, it's actually pretty bad how unorganised it is. My nails varnish is kinda organised, it's all stood up in a drawer. My makeup is all over the place, because I use it so often and am always rumaging through it I never see the point in tidying it up because it just gets messy again.

10. What is the longest time you’ve gone without writing a blog post? 
I'm a big scheduler, in fact during the summer I managed to create 3 months worth of scheduled posts. Because of this the longest I've gone without having a blog post being posted is 3 days, but I have gone slightly longer without writing one.

I tag:

Carly from SmileLoveSpend

Liebester Award!

Firstly, I'd like to thank Becki from Bows, Beauty and Becki who nominated me for this!
The Libester Award is a great idea that helps people discover new small bloggers they may not have heard of, and to also help you learn more about the blogger behind the posts!
So First things first, the rules!
  1. Each nominee must answer the 11 questions that were asked by the blogger who nominated them
  2. You must choose 11 bloggers with under 200 followers to pass this onto
  3. Make 11 questions for them to answer
  4. Go to their blog and leave a comment telling them they have been nominated
  5. No tag backs! 
 So with that all done, lets get on with the questions asked by Becki!

1. What is your dream for the future?

Oooh that's a hard one. I suppose in the distant future I'd like to be settled into a job that I'm enjoying, have great friends and my own place too.


2. If you could live your life by one motto/ quote what would it be?

I have always lived by the quote:
'Everything will be okay in the end. And if, it not okay, it's not the end'
Ever since I first heard it I try and apply it to my life. When things get me down, I remember this quote and it helps me to cheer up!


3. Who inspires you? (Celebrity, Family etc)

It depends on what context! For general life everyone around me inspires me, seeing people getting what they've worked so hard for inspires me to do the same.

4. Favourite Make-up brand?

Ahh this is so hard to name just one! I'd have to go for Illamasqua. There's never been a product of theirs that I haven't fallen in love with, and I love the message that the brand tries to promote. Nars and Bobbi Brown are very close seconds, they are just a bit pricier so sadly I haven't had chance to try as many of their products.

5. What is your favourite type of product? (i.e Mascara, Lipstick)

It has to be blush. I didn't used to be into blush and felt like one blusher was all you need in your collection. How naive I once was! I love the one that different tones can completely change your look, and I love that some are shimmery, some are matte and some are full on glitterbombs (Looking at you Nars SuperOrgasm). I also like how they can compliment lip colour and eye colours and bring a whole look together.

6. What brands/ shops do you wish were sold where you live but aren't? (i.e Sephora come to the UK!) 

I tweeted about this the other day, but I really wish Tarte Cosmetics were available in the UK! As said, I love blushes and have heard so so much about the Tarte Amazonian Clay Blushes and really want to try them. I've looked online but can't find them anywhere. If anybody knows of a place to get hold of Tarte products in the UK please let me know!


7. What is one item that you really want but it's too expensive? (i.e Chanel Handbag)

Louboutins! I really want a pair but obviously they are so expensive.

8. If you could look like anybody who would you want to look like and why?

Without a shadow of a doubt, Blake Lively. She is flawless in my opinion and always looks nice no matter what she is wearing, or how her makeup is.

9. Dream Job?

Hmm, I'm a bit torn on this. I'm currently studying a law degree wit the intention to become a solicitor, but I think my dream job would be a makeup artist or a beauty columnist. It's something I have a real passion for and know I would enjoy doing. I'd also love to be a forensic scientist too, but I'm not brilliant at all things science.


10. If you could live anywhere in the world - where would it be and why?

New York. Need I say more?

11. How long does it take you to get ready in the morning on average?

It depends on my hair really. If I need to wash, blowdry and style my hair it takes around an hour and a half. If my hair is fine, then I only need 10-20minutes to do my makeup.

So those are the questions I was asked, here's my questions:

1. If you could only wear one eyeshadow colour for the rest of your life what would it be?
2. If you could only use products from one brand for the rest of your life what would it be, and why?
3. What's the best product you've ever brought?
4. What product has you repurchased the most?
5. Natural no-makeup makeup or glamour glitz?
6. What is your favourite nail polish colour?
7. If you could bring back a limited edition item that is no longer available what would it be?
8. Where do you buy most of your clothes from?
9. What inspired you to start a blog?
10. What is your favourite perfume?
11. What's your favourite blog post of yours?

I'm not sure if these bloggers have already been nominated but here it goes!

I nominate:
1.  Smile Love Spend
2. Bethany Worrall
3. Dees Beautiful Life
4. Elle Blogs Beauty
5. LookLoveWear
6. Fresh Daisy Chains

Those are the only ones I can think of at the moment, I'm quite new to blogging so don't know many bloggers yet!


Hope you enjoyed this post!
