So, here’s my bit…
Questions
sent to me:
1) Name your top 3 bloggers
-Kaitlyn Ham; modernlegacy.blogspot.com
I wish I had her wardrobe…she has stylish work-wear
to a T.
-phoenixlovechild.blogspot.com
Effortlessly cool. What more?
-Kavita; shewearsfashion.com
She has the lifestyle I can only dream of – inspiration
to dream big!
2) What is your signature makeup look?
Because I work in an office and have to get up fairly
early I keep it pretty simple:
-a light
base;
-a
sweep of contour and colour so I don’t look too pale and ill;
-eyeliner
with an upwards flick to open up my tired eyes;
-mascara
on the top lashes
3) What is your statement piece in most
outfits? Could be jewellery, a scarf...
I have two current favourites:
-The necklace I was given my by cousin for being a
bridesmaid
-The vintage
kangaroo-print scarf my sister bought me for my birthday
4)
What
is your favourite magazine to read?
I have a subscription to Elle, which I love for the
updates on catwalk trends and the beautiful photography
5) What do you think is the most
successful fashion & beauty brand?
This is a toughie! -there are so many! And I think
success can be defined in many different ways.
As one of my favourites, I’ll pick Topshop,
because they are good on so many levels: high street fashion, high end fashion,
amazing accessories and a pretty decent beauty collection on top.
6) Are you a feminist?
Absolutely! I think that social and gender equality
needs to catch up with the rest of our progress in the modern world.
I think that the biggest myth about feminism is that
it’s about female supremacy when really, it’s about empowering everyone,
including women.
7) What inspired you to create a blog?
I love all things beauty and fashion and wanted somewhere
to collect my thoughts. I suppose I do this as much for myself as I do to
inspire others to do the same J
8) Do you follow any YouTube bloggers?
I don’t! I should probably sort my act out on this!
If you have some recommendations please let me know in
the comment section at the bottom!
9) What was the last thing you bought
yourself?
Another hard one! This will probably have changed by
tomorrow!
The last item I bought was a Catfish and the Bottlemen
album (check them out, they’re pretty cool!) And the last piece of clothing I
bought was a navy jumper from Pull and Bear-which I love beyond reason (but
then I do have a slight addiction to jumper purchasing…)
10) What 4 cosmetic things could you
not live without?
Absolute
top is my eyeliner – with my colouring you need a bit of definition. I have many eye-liners. Maybe I’ll
dedicate a post to them soon..?
Second,
my Porefessional primer – it goes on like a dream and leaves my dry skin
feeling really soft!
Mascara
– for a similar reason to the eyeliners! Currently, I love No7 extreme length
mascara.
And
lastly, my Body Shop hemp lip balm – especially with the weather getting
colder! It makes keeping lips soft that bit easier!
11) What advice would you offer to
someone who is starting out in makeup?
My main
point with make-up is this:
Stick to
what suits your skin type/colouring and to what you love!
That’s
not to say don’t try new things, of course do this! But don’t buy something
because everyone is or because it’s the new ‘thing’. Keep it unique, fresh and
interesting. If we were all the same, there would be no point in blogging about
it!
