QUESTIONS SET BY BEAUTYANDBITS

 

1. Heels or flats?

I am 5'10 so usually wear flats because I'm already tall enough, without heels. I would be towering over everyone if I wore heels all the time!

 

2. American TV shows or English TV shows?

I don't watch a massive amount of TV but I prefer English TV shows.

 

3. One thing you couldn't leave the house without?

My phone - it's like a part of me! Haha.

 

4. Sweet or savoury food?

I love sweet food - I'm a sucker for chocolate and cakes.

 

5. One beauty product you couldn't live without?

I'll have to say mascara because it completely changes my whole face and I feel so weird when I'm not wearing it.

 

6. Drugstore or highend?

I'm abit inbetween with this one; I think it depends entirely on the product. I absolutely love buying beauty products from Boots [drugstore] but then there's a few highend products which I couldn't live without.

 

7. If you could go anywhere, where would it be?

I've always wanted to visit Australia - it's such a beautiful, sunny place and everyone just seems so friendly and carefree there.

 

8. Eyeshadow or lipstick?

I've really gotten into lipstick really; Im loving wearing bright red lips with lots of mascara and a thin line of eyeliner - perfect!

 

9. Favourite blogger?

I don't have just one blogger because I keep up with so many different blogs. It's impossible to choose one because they're all fantastic! I've tagged a few of my favourites to do this post.

 

10. Favourite place to shop?

For beauty products - Boots (you all know how much time I spend in there!) For clothing - I shop mostly in high street stores; New Look, Next, Topshop, River Island etc.

 

11. What made you start blogging?

I've been watching beauty bloggers on YouTube for a long time and even started my own beauty channel on YouTube about 2 years ago but I didn't really get a massive response so gave up in the end. I then discovered beauty blogging on Blogspot and loved reading everyone's posts so I decided to set up my own blog last February. I remember having 0 followers for the first few weeks but I didn't give up hope. Blogging on Blogspot or Wordpress is definitely easier and much more fun than doing it on YouTube!

 

MY QUESTIONS

 

1. If you had an unlimited amount of money to spend in any one store of your choice, where would you choose?

2. What's your favourite make-up brand and which of their products do you use the most?

3. Describe your daily 'getting ready' routine and how long does it take?

4. What's your favourite colour nail polish?

5. Do you ever leave the house without make-up?

6. What's your favourite summer trend this year?

7. Do you prefer straight hair or curly hair?

8. Do you dye your hair? If so, what's your natural hair colour?

9. Is there anything interesting that your followers don't know about you?

10. How long have you been blogging for and what made you start?

11. Have you got any tips for any new bloggers out there?

Tag | Would you rather? Beauty Edition

I've been tagged by the lovely Amie @ belle-amiebeauty to do this post. I always love reading things like this as it's a great chance to get to know the blogger, because usually we don't often know a lot about them as a person. I've never done anything like this before so it's a refreshing change I suppose!

 

*I TAG ALL OF YOU TO DO THIS*

Remember to leave me a comment below if you decide to take part as I'd love to check it out :)

1. Would you rather lose all your mascaras, eye liners, lipsticks and lip glosses or all your palettes and eye shadows?

There's no doubt about it - I would rather lose my palettes and eye shadows because they aren't 'essential' pieces of make-up which I use everyday and I could easily live without them. Whereas, mascara and eyeliner are like a necessity to me which I can't leave the house without wearing.

 

2. Would you rather chop off all your hair or never be able to cut it again?

I would actually say to never be able to cut it again. My hair tends to go grow at snails pace anyway but I would just take extra care to keep it in top condition.

 

3. Would you rather have a coral cheek or a pink cheek?
Coral cheek because I prefer natural, subtle make-up.

 

4. If you had £1000 to spend, would you rather buy clothes or makeup?

 Clothes, clothes, clothes! Id be on the next train to Manchester to buy anything I want.

 

5. Would you rather apply lipstick as eye liner, or eye liner as lipstick?

 For some reason I think that eyeliner would work better as lipstick as opposed to lipstick as eyeliner. The thought of having lipstick on my eyes is... weird.

 

6. Would you rather only shop at MAC or Sephora?

 MAC.

 

7. Would you rather only use one eye shadow or one lip colour for the rest of your life?

 I would rather use one eye shadows for the rest of my life because to be honest, I'm not massively adventrous when it comes to eye make-up; I like to keep it simple. Smokey eyes are my favourite!

 

8. Would you rather wear Winter clothes in the Summer, or Summer clothes in the Winter?

 I love summer clothes over winter clothes any day so that's what Id have to choose.

 

9. Would you rather wear dark nails or bright nails all year round?

 I usually opt for darker, bold coloured nails anyway - I love purple, blue, red or green nails! I really can't stand pastel shades, so I guess that's what Id choose.

 

10. Would you rather give up your favourite lip product or your favourite eye product?

 My favourite lip product is the Elizabeth Arden Lip Protection Stick which I seriously don't think I could live without - it's an absolute God-send! So Id have to live without my favourite eye product... *sob*

 

11. Would you rather only be able to wear your hair in a pony tail or a messy bun?

 I rarely wear my hair up but if I had to, I would coose a messy bun.

 

12. Would you rather never being able to paint yours nails again or never use lip gloss?

 I feel naked without painted nails so I would rather never use lip gloss again - besides, that means I could still wear lipstick and other lip products.

 

13. Would you rather shave your eyebrows and have none at all? Or Sharpie them in everyday?

I can't decide on this one - sorry! I have an evergrowing hatred for drawn on eyebrows. They just freak me out and look so, so ugly. But then the thought of having no eyebrows at all is really scary too... hmm.

 

14. Would you rather live without makeup or nail polish?

 Oh gosh - I always have to have my nails painted and my make-up on; they're both such huge necessities to me. What a hard question! However, I think I would rather live without nail polish (I could use falsies hehe).
