Questions in the Corner

Finally I got around to making a few changes to my design, there is more to come, it just takes a little while to get it all the way I want it! Now over to the point! Yinyin over at yinyinloves was kind enought to nominate me for the Liebster Award. However I very recently did my "response" to one of these so instead of making another one I figured I would just go for answering the questions she gave me as I found them very good! So considering I am bed bound with a very horrible cold on vacation I decided to fire ahead with those questions right now.

Why do you enjoy blogging?

Because it gives me the opportunity to express myself and share my thoughts and opinions on beauty and fashion! I also love the fact that there is a whole community of us and how many lovely people I get to know!

Favourite clothing brand?

Ooh a tough one! At the moment I think it is a tie between H&M, Tennis (A colombian brand) and TopShop.. I am not one to opt for the higher end of clothing brands but if I were I think I would have an even harder time choosing a favourite...

Favourite fashion/beauty trend for summer?

 I am a sucker for the bright colours.

Where is your dream holiday destination?

It depends on the type of holiday, but my #1 place I want to travel to is Thailand (oh and India..and Australia..and - well you get where I'm going with this haha)

Best moment of 2013 so far?

Hmm, when it comes to remembering these kinds of things I have the memory of a goldfish, but I think it might be the day I finished my last exam and knew that two years of torture (International Baccalaureate) were over. Or maybe the Mumford and Son's concert I went to.. One of those.

Least liked make up item?

My Revlon Brow Gel. It is horrible but I just never get around to picking up a better one - it is such a boring product to spend money on don't you agree?

Top 3 songs this year (so far)?

These have not all been released this year, but I am loving them.

Everybody by Ingrid Michaelson

Young And Beautiful by Lana Del Rey

Laura Palmer by Bastille
(All of Bastille's songs are my favourites but atm this is on top)

 What are you looking forward to this summer?

There's no doubt here: T In The Park music festival in Scotland!! Gaahh, Can't Wait!

 What's your signature scent?

Chanel Chance, and it has been for 3 years :)

What TV series are you hooked on at the moment?

Hahaha, Molly at LyonsNotes will know this one as she was the one who got me hooked on it. Over the course of a little over a week I have completed all 4 seasons of The Vampire Diaries. Well, I have 3 episodes left but yeah..damn, that show is addictive. I also fell head over heels for Suits very recently.

Favourite pair of shoes?

A gorgeous pair of leather heels with little "bronze" studs on them. I bought them yesterday but they are already my favourites. An outfit post including them will be up later in the week :)

That was that, I will try to get a new post up tomorrow, but in the mean time, you can go and enter my giveaway HERE! I hope you are all doing well!

Lots of love

Liebster Award Nominees!

The lovely Loubna over at becausebeautryisrawandwild nominated me for the Liebster Award which apparently is an award passed on from blogger to blogger. I think the idea is great and really appreciated the nomination! Loubna gave me a few questions to answer so I will go ahead and do that, and then I will announce the blogs I nominate at the end of the post along with the questions I have for them :)

Here comes her questions:

What is your favorite color?

I think I would have to say blue! Although I love pretty much all colours.

Where is the most incredible place you have been to?

It is a tie between the Amazon Jungle and Zanzibar in Tanzania. Two very different places but oh so beautyful!

Do you have any pet?

No I don't but I have had hamsters and rabbits in the past and I would love  to get a dog! Haha :)

What made you choose blogging?

The opportunity to express myself and write about my passions without necessarily boring my friends to death, haha. Also the incredible community that blogging creates! The amazing people I have come to know are some that I would never have gotten to know without my blog. 

What is your favorite perfume?

There is no doubt on this one, Chanel Chance! I love the Eau de Toilett and Eau Tendre, but recently had a sniff at the Eau Fresh and fell head over heels for it... Just smell them, they are incredible!

Where do you like to see yourself in ten years?

I would like to see myself living in a big city, hopefully working within the promotion/communication part of the fashion industry, and as a freelance make-up artist. Maybe I will be writing this blog even then!  I beg that I will love what I do and that it challenges me, teaches me and inspires me. As for love and family and all that, I just hope I am happy with whomever surrounds me.

What is your favorite TV show ?

Oh..this is a toughie! I am a TV show junkie, I watch waaaay too many and get far to addicted. But I think that right now my favourite is Suits - I can't wait for season 3 to start in June! I might do a post on my top TV shows someday soon, just to share the love your know? 

What is your favorite Makeup brand?

I don't really have a favourite, I like so many, but from the high street I love Rimmel and Revlon a lot at the moment, and my MAC eyeshadows and lipsticks are almost always included in my make-up routines!

What is your morning skincare routine?

I use the foaming cleanser from a scandinavian brand called ACO Spotless, then I spray some of La Roche-Posay's Thermal Spring Water  all over my face and neck. For moisturiser I am currently using La Roche Posay's Effaclar Duo  and the ACO Spotless Oil Free Matifying Daily Moisturiser which are both brilliant for someone with an oily T-Zone prone to breakouts!

What is your favorite foundation ?

Right now it is Revlon Nearly Naked! 

What is your favorite song ?

Laura Palmer by Bastille! The music video is a bit odd, but the song is incredible!

When did your beauty/fashion interest start?
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be and what kind of "housing" would you want?
What is your dream job?
Can you describe yourself/your life in 3 words?

Once you get around to answering them, I would love it if you'd let me know, either here or on Twitter. 

Lots of Love,
