I'm afraid I'm only going to answer questions from the top three blogs as a) this would be an extremely long blog post. b) some of the questions are the same or similar so there is no point in answering the same questions over and over again.

Please, do not be offended by this! If there are any questions you would like me to answer, just let me know!

The Official Rules Of The Liebster Award

If you have been nominated for The Liebster Award and you choose to accept it, write a blog post about the Liebster award in which you:

1. thank the person who nominated you, and post a link to their blog on your blog.

2. display the award on your blog — by including it in your post and/or displaying it using a “widget” or a “gadget”. (Note that the best way to do this is to save the image to your own computer and then upload it to your blog post.)

3. answer 11 questions about yourself, which will be provided to you by the person who nominated you.

4. provide 11 random facts about yourself.

5. nominate 5 – 11 blogs that you feel deserve the award, who have a less than 1000 followers. (Note that you can always ask the blog owner this since not all blogs display a widget that lets the readers know this information!)

6. create a new list of questions for the blogger to answer.

7. list these rules in your post (You can copy and paste from here.) Once you have written and published it, you then have to:

8. Inform the people/blogs that you nominated that they have been nominated for the Liebster award and provide a link for them to your post so that they can learn about it (they might not have ever heard of it!)

Anything by MAC. Have a seriously love for their products atm!

Questions from Laura Hunter

I really like Charlotte Hemingway's blog http://vanityfairest-x.blogspot.co.uk/ because it is very informative, it is well presented and interesting to read.

2) Do you have any weird habbits, what?

Umm, only with the way I eat my food. For example, I have to nibble the chocolate off of a Kit Kat before I eat the rest of it...but I guess a lot of people do that so it's not that weird? I also have to carry hand sanitiser and anti bacterial wipes everywhere with me...I guess that's kinda weird?

3) If you could only shop in one place for clothes where would it be?

Probably New Look as it is fairly priced and they have some decent clothes in there.

4) Would you rather Disney or Pixar?

Pixar! Just because I love Despicable me and I have an obsession with the cute little minions!

I don't really wish to be anyone else really, although they do have a lot of money and fame etc they still have problems like anyone else.

6)How much do you spend on make up?

Depends really on how much money I have to spend! I recently went into Boots and spent £40! Although, I did have a £20 voucher. Normally it would be around £20 I guess?

7) If your life was a musical what three songs would you pick?

Only three songs! That's hard!

1. Iggy Azalea - Work

2. Blondie - One Way Or Another

3. Jason Mraz - I'm yours

8) What is one thing you always carry with you?

Mobile!

Answered in the first set of questions!

Curls galore!

Hello my lovelies! How are you all?
I thought I'd share with you all my friend's media make-up assessment as I was lucky enough to have been asked to be a model for her.
My friend, Chloe Southall is studying media make-up at college and she was looking for someone to be a model for her first assessment, so of course I was ecstatic when she asked if I would like to be a model for her!

The theme for Chloe's assessment piece was based on 1950's Rita Hayworth.
The picture below is Rita Hayworth.

Around two weeks before her assessment, I stayed round her house so she could do a trial run...and I thought it would be great to show you guys and gals the different stages and the final result!

Here is the different stages of the rollers being put in. I was really excited to go under one of the old style hair dryers.

Here is how the curls turned out!

And here is the final result!

This is how I looked on the actual day of Chloe's assessment! I really hope she gets a good grade as personally I think she did amazing!

What have you been up to this week?

Let me know in the box below!

OOTD!

Hello my lovelies!

Got a mega jam-packed week ahead of me, with lots of mocks; homework and coursework. What fun aye!

I'm trying to keep my posts as regular as I can, however there may be a few delays here and there but keep your eyes peeled!

I just thought I'd share with you a quick out-fit of the day!

Sorry for the awful quality pictures, but I was in a rush today so I quickly took them on my phone. Anyways, my top is from New Look and I got it in the sale for £7.00 and my jeans are also from New Look and I also purchased it in the sale for £10.00

I'm also wearing some gold style cross ear rings which were £3.00 from New Look as well. I then wore my red converses with this outfit too.

What's your favourite outfit?

Happy Monday Everyone!

Hello my lovelies!

I hope you are all having a good start to the new week. I am sorry for not posting as much at the moment, I've simply just been sooooo busy with college. Also this weekend I went to visit Mikolaj, who is my lovely boyfriend ! He's currently studying at Swansea University.
So I thought I would just share with you all some of the photos I took when I was in Swansea .

These photos were taken on Sunday, the weather was a bit chilly but it was rather sunny too. We had such a lovely walk on the beach and afterwards we went for ice cream at this amazing place called Joe's Ice Cream. Their ice cream is the best I've ever had! It so smooth and creamy.

So I'd love to know how you spent your weekend! & What did you get up to? Let me know in the box below!

An Every Day Make Up Look!

Hello my lovelies!

I hope you are all having a good weekend so far. Today I thought I'd just share with you all my everyday make up look that's really easy and doesn't take long at all to do .

The brushes I use are the Real Techniques ones which I got for Christmas, there are two sets of brushes in the picture here.

So I started off the look with Rimmel's Match Perfection foundation in the colour 100 Ivory. I find this a very nice and light foundation for my skin.

I then went on to use MUA's Undress Your Skin Radiant Eye Concealer, I like using this concealer as it is very cheap at £3 and it does exactly what I want it to! I then went on and applied Rimmel's Stay Matte Pressed Powder in the colour 003 Peach Glow.

For my eyes I used two purple colours. One light for the base and I then used a sparkly purple on top, although I do change the colours I use everyday but today I was in the mood for these particular colours.In the picture they are the top two colours on the right hand side. These were just colours I have on a pallet but unfortunately I don't have the name of it.

I used Collection 2000's Extreme 24 hour felt tip liner for the top of my eyes and then I used Miss Sporty's Mini-Me eye liner in 010 Black Raven for the bottom part of my eyes.

Then I finished off my eyes by applying Maybelline's the Falsies Volume Express mascara on both the top and bottom eyelashes.

I then applied MAC's Pearlmatter in Pink Butter-cream to highlight different parts of my face such as just under my eyebrows and the top of my cheeks, and I then apply Collection 2000's Blush in the colour 01 So Pretty.
