The Liebster Award

I have been nominated!

Hello Everyone! Today is a pretty special day as I have been nominated for The Liebster Award by the lovely Chloe Francis. So thanks again to her for nominating me!

The Leibster Award is aimed for new bloggers who have less than 200 followers, and it helps people to discover new blogs, so you can build up a wider audience.

The Rules of The Liebster Award:

1) You must link back to the person that nominated you

2) You must answer the 11 Liebster questions given to you by the nominee before you

3) You must pick 11 bloggers to be nominated for the award with under 200 followers

4) You must come up with 11 questions for your nominees to answer

5) You must go to their blogs and notify your nominees

Questions from Chloe Francis ..

1) You are only allowed to use one beauty product for the rest of your life - What is it?

It's a tough question but I would have to choose concealer because it is my best friend. It covers any imperfections, and wearing concealer alone, makes my skin look a lot more flawless. It just does the job I need it to do, and I couldn't live without it.
2) Where is your favourite holiday destination?

Portugal by far! I go there every year and it is just amazing, the weather is beautiful and the desinations on the Algarve we go to are gorgeous.
3) What is your favourite music album right now?

I've been loving all different types of songs recently, so I would have to say 'Now That's What I Call Music 85' because it features so many different varieties.
4) What was the first ever makeup product you owned?

If I remember rightly, when I was about 10, I got an eyeshadow set full of pink and purple colours.
5) What made you start blogging?

I had been watching Zoella, Tanya Burr and SprinkleOfGlitter on YouTube, and I had been reading their blogs for a while, and I thought it was a good idea to start one myself because it looked like a fun hobby and I quite like makeup and beauty related things.
6) Where do you want to be in 10 years time?

Hopefully doing something to do with the film/tv industry, whether it's infront of the camera, or behind the camera.
7) Where is your favourite place to shop?

For clothes, I would have to say Topshop, and for beauty products I would choose Boots.
8) What is your favourite movie?

My all time favourite films are the Harry Potter collection or LOL.
9) What is your favourite type of clothing?

Either Topshop, or atmosphere in Primark can have some very nice things.
10) The deal breaker question... Cats or Dogs?

I have to say Dogs because I'm allergic to Cats.

11) One random fact about yourself?

My random fact is that I'm not ticklish.

Beauty Haul

Today's blog is a little beauty haul of what beauty products I bought today. If you like this blog and would like to see more hauls then please let me know.

 First off we went ti M.A.C because I wanted another eyeshadow to go in my palette. I chose a light brown coloured one in the shade 'Wedge'. I hope to use this with some of the other colours I have to create a summery light coloured smokey eye effect. M.A.C eyeshadows are a bit pricey but they are definitely worth the money! If you have an extra bit of cash, or you want to treat yourself, then I would definitely recommend getting some of their eyeshadows. 

 I then went to Boots, which is a 'drugstore' in the UK, and I finally got my hands on the Maybelline Baby Lips. I've waited for these to come out in the UK for so long, so when I saw them I had to get them. They are only £2.99 each, which is a bargain. I purchased them in 'Hydrate' and 'Intense Care'.
They're really good, they have SPF in them and they keep your lips hydrated all day, even through the heat and I can already notice a difference through having them one for just one day.

 The next thing I bought is the Nivea Daily Essentials, 2 in 1 Cleanser and Toner for normal skin. I re-purchased this product because it is so good! and because it's a 2 in 1 and I can get super lazy with looking after my skin but this product makes it so much quicker. After washing my face I put it on using a cotton pad and it moisturises my face and removes any excess makup.
It leaves my skin feeling really refreshed and in the mornings it looks a lot healthier.
If you are looking for a good cleanser and toner, get this one because it's also quite cheap!

The last thing I purchased is some more cotton wool pads. I got the double faced ones, which are the larger ones because they are much easier to use.
I just buy Boot's own because they are quite cheap.
I've found that I have to use about 3 of the smaller ones to cleanse my face, or 1 large one.
So I got the large ones, I re-purchase these because they do exactly what they are meant to do and they are super soft on my skin.

July Beauty Favourites

I am back to posting about beauty products today, and I thought I would share with you just a couple of my most recent favourite purchases!

This is the product I've been loving most recently. I picked up the Maybelline Great Lash Mascara in the shade Very Black because I think it brings out my eyes more. I picked this mascara up because in the summer I like to wear a lighter mascara, so I wanted one with a small thin brush.

I can honestly say that this product is amazing! It defines your lashes really nicely, it doesn't smudge and it lasts all day! 

Also, if you live in the UK like me, then in Tesco it's down to only £4.99 which is a bargain for such a good mascara.

The bottle in 'Very Black'

The small brush which is ideal for me.

What my eye looks like with it on.

The next product that I recently bought is the Sleek, Blush By 3 palette in 'Lace'. The palette contains three shades. There is an Orange, Rose Gold and Coral Pink blush inside. The Orange and Coral Pink are matte blushes and the one in the middle which is Rose Gold is a shimmery blush. They all look quite nice on and they brighten up your face making you look very summery.

My favourite is the middle one which is the shade 'Rose Gold', it's shimmery and looks really nice.

All the shades are easily blended in and as they are fully pigmented, then they last all day.

So this is the box.. oh how interesting.

What the shades are.

What they look like.

My last favourite new product is the Real Techniques Core Collection. In this set you get the Contour brush, the Pointed Foundation brush, the Detailer brush and the Buffing brush. 

I bought the set off Amazon, and it even comes with a Panoramic Black Case to keep all your brushes in on the go.

I use the Contour brush to add highlighter, bronzer and blusher to my face and the Detailer brush for concealer. I have been using the Buffing brush for foundation so I haven't used the foundation brush as much.

They are all amazing and make applying your makeup a lot easier. The brushes are super soft on your skin and leave my face looking perfect.

I will definitely be purchasing more Real Techniques brushes because they are just brilliant and I would recommend them to everyone, so If you haven't tried them, then I urge you too.

The box.

The Panoramic Case with the brushes inside.

Hope you have liked the beauty post. I have also been thinking about starting a YouTube channel, let me know if you think that's a good idea.
See you very soon x
