Liebster Award- Part 2


So although i have already done this tag, I have been nominated again by the lovely Evelyn and Sarah From Fashiontroverts and the Beautiful Sarah from Sarah-Louisa - Thank you so much girlies. Both sets of questions the girls set on their blogs were too interesting and fun to not answer so i thought i would do another Liebster Award post.


Questions from Fashiontroverts

1. If you had the chance to live any where in the world, where would it be?
Thats a hard one, ever since i was little i have dreamed of living in Australia when i am older- i dont know how it came about or why i chose it but my mind is set on it. However recently i have really wanted to live in New York or London as the atmosphere is amazing and its great for the field of work i want to persue.
2. If you were given a one thousand dollar gift card that could be used in only one store, what store would it be?
Im going to cheat on this one and say a department store like Debenhams or Selfridges as they have so many different make up brands that i have a wide variety. Also i find it much harder splurging one an item of makeup than a piece of clothing so i would spend it on that.
3. What's your favourite line from a Movie?
"Ohana means family; Family means no one gets left behind or forgotten" Lilo and Stitch
4. What's one thing about yourself that you'd want to improve?
I am going to steer away from physical appearance things as i couldn't pick so i am going to go for my condifence or my possitivity as i tend to be quite negative and hard on myself which is something i definatel need to improve on.
5. What's your favourite season to dress for?
This is tricky as i love autumn/fall fashion as they are so cosy and the colours are beautiful and i love the look of layering, however, that style does not suit me as i am so short that baggy layering pieces make me look frumpy and even shorter so i will probably go for summer clothes as i love how simple and colourful it is.
6. If you could raid anyone's wardrobe, who's would it be and what item would you take?
Probably Blake lively, Mollie King or one of the Kardashians. They are my style icons and i love the way they dress. i would definitely take a pair of shoes or handbag as i can just tell they would be A-MA-ZING
 and definitely out of my price range
7. If you had to choose one style for the rest of your life to rock what would it be?
Probably very classic and minimal, it would definately be monochrome and quite chic as i feel that can look amazing in the day and night and black can never go out of fashion.
8. If you could create your perfect bedroom, what themes/vibes would you incorporate into it?
I LOVE this question and got far too into it as designing and organising my room is one of my favourite things to do. i change my mind when it comes to my room and theme all the time but at the moment i am loving light grey and stripes, i would also add some tartan into it as i love that this time of year. it would be quite basic; very chic and classic.
9. What's one of your pet peeves?
I have a few so it would be hard to pick one but one of my main ones is when people dont listen as i hate having to repeat myself- i dont know why but its always bugged me when i've had to repeat myself (weird i know) haha 
10. What's one thing you love that most people you know seem to hate?
I dont really think there is anything in particular, theres nothing that i love that is out of the ordinary.



Questions from Sarah-Louisa

1. What is your favourite high end and drugstore make up brand and why?
High end would have to be MAC as i love their lipsticks and eyeshadows and everything really haha. For drugstore i would have to go for L'Oreal or Bourjois as they are such good quality at such an affordable price.
2 .What is your most loved wardrobe staple?
It would definitely have to be my trusty leather jacket, i have had it for years and it has never worn out or gone out of style, i know for a fact that i have got my moneys worth from that jacket and don't know what i would do without it- sad i know
3. Who are your favourite bloggers?
I have so many that i love and get excited whenever they put up a new post, some of my all time favourites are; Viviannadoesmakeup, Lily Pebbles, Megsboutique and Emstalks
4. What are your blogging goals for this year?
I don't really have a goal; probably just to continue to post frequently and keep loving it as much as i do as it is such a fun hobbie that is actually quite beneficial- its a win win haha
5. If you could change your name to anything, what would it be?
I used to hate my name with a passion and want to change it all the time, everyone says i look like a Chloe or a Charlotte so maybe one of them?
6. Who is your style icon?
Definately either Blake Lively (for evening wear) and Mollie King (for everyday fashion) they both dress beautifully and i envy them so much
7. If you could meet anyone famous (dead or alive) who would it be and why?
This question was far to hard to answer as there is so many haha
8. What is your favourite thing about blogging?
The friendly community; i love when people comment on my posts and interact with me or compliment my efforts- it makes blogging so much more worth while and rewarding and leaves me with a smile on my face at the end of the day
9. What is your favourite movie?
That is such a hard one! Probably any Disney movie- Lady and the Tramp is one of my favourites or i love "A walk to remember" its a classic and i cry every time without fail. if you have not watched that movie i would definitely recommend it and can guarantee you will love it as much as i do.
10. What is your favourite thing to do on a day off?
nothing, literally NOTHING, if i have had a hard week studying and working i will just want to laze around and not even move to get dressed. However sometimes i am feeling energetic on my days off and like to spend it shopping or having a nice catch up with friends as i dont get to see them often
11. What is/are your holy grail make up product(s)?
Definitely my L'Oreal True Match foundation and Collection Lasting perfection concealers, i have to repurchase these the second they begin to run out, i looove them! 


As this is my second edition of this tag i have missed out the 11 facts about me and nominating other bloggers as i have already done that in my first Liebster Award post. So if you have not been tagged and want to do this post then i nominate you and please comment saying you have done it (using my questions on my first post) and your blog links and i will go have a look!!

Lots of Love

Whats In My Bag?

this is a popular post that has been going round the blogging and youtube worlds for a long time and i (being the nosey person that i am) love them and find it interesting having a wee snoop into what people carry around with them in their bag for a daily basis. However it does enourage me to buy things i really would never need or use just to make my bag more interesting "oh look she has a mini toothbrush in her bag i want one of them" are usual thoughts when i read these posts haha!So i thought i'd give all you nosey people like me a little snoop into my bag (the Zara City- origional i know haha) to see if you carry around anything similar to me or if theres anything in my bag that is unusual to any of you- please let me know if there is i would be very interested


My Handbag staples(always in my bag)


The first thing and the main event in everyones bag is a purse; id like to say my purse stays organised but that would be a lie. about every month i have a clear out and organise my cards into certain slots, put change in a certain compartment and have a place for reciepts. but in the end there are coins everywhere, cards in wrong places or even just lying at the bottom of my bag-for me to have a heart attack when i think their lost and stacked full with reciepts and bus tickerts. am i the only one or is this sounding farmiliar?

I also keep my phone (used to take these photos) which is the IPhone 5s in gold in my bag. I try to keep my phone in a certain part of my bag to keep it safe from scratches and smashes. But with the amount of times that i use it, by the end of the day it will end up staying in my pocket for easy access- lazy i know haha

another thing i always carry is my trusty diary/daily planner from Paperchase, it is a saviour for someone who likes to stay organised (or is just plain forgetful like me haha) this means that i can jot down any birthdays, essay deadlines or events that are coming up that i need reminded for. I also use this to keep any important pieces of paper together so save me losing them and it has all my passwords and information as i have so many different usernames and passwords for different thinks its hard to remember them all. This means i have them where ever i go yet if i ever loose it i will be in a sticky situation haha

A blogging journal is a new addition to my back but has very quicky became a very vital item in my handbag. I never thought i would really use one of these so always avoided purchasing one. I've read so many times that a blogging journal will keep you organised with posts and on track and let me be another to tell you this is 100% true, since having this i have been more organised which has made my blog posts become a more regular thing- as you can tell. In this i write down any blogging ideas becuse most of them i think of at the most random places so its good to have this in your bag so you can jot it down where ever. i also write down what i need to do for the blog posts and any vital information i want to include- its a super handy item, even if its just the notes section of your phone.

My Ipod is also something that very rarely leaves my bag (unless its being charged of course) if you are an iphone owner you will know that the battery life is awful at gets drained very quiclkly so wasting the battery on music is a big no from me. i know its unneeded to have an ipod and an iphone but its too damaged to sell and does the trick. I travel an hour to and from work everyday so music is needed for that long journey and is the only thing that keeps it bearable

The final things that stay in my bag at all times are an Umbrella and Sunglasses- both contradicting items but both just as important as the other in scotland. The weather randomly changes within seconds in Scotland and it can go from Pouring with rain to the sun shining so both items are a must! Since the umbrella is small and compact, it can fit in my handbag on a daily basis and wont take up too much room. My sunglasses are kept in a case to stop them being crushed and again dont take up too much room.

Other random items i found that arn't always there:

  • Hand Sanitiser
  • The days make up for touch ups
  • A few lipstick choices
  • My work ID card
  • A perfume- varies every day
  • My tangle teaser
  • My kindle (if I'm traveling)
  • Spair bobbles and hair clips

I am currently on the lookout for a new smaller bag seen as the Zara city is so big so please let me know what bags you have and what bags you would recommend! i would also love to have a nosey into what yous carry around in your bags so please like your post below if you have already done this:)

Lots of Love

i was just looking through my blogging dashboard to notice that someone had left a comment on my recent blog post. I always get excited when i see a comment or a new follower as its such a rewarding feeling that someone apprecitates your voice and opinion.

Questions from Jordan

1. Favourite beauty product to use at the moment? 
      At the moment i am OBSESSED with highlighter especially cream highlighters (Topshop glow to be specific) i dont know if its because its summer or i have such dry dull skin but the glow and sheen highlighter gives to my face just completely boosts my confidence.    
2. Summer or Winter?
      Summer no question, i love the idea of winter but when it comes to the reality of the cold weather especially the extremes that Scotland gets, i cant handle it *shivers*. Summer is definately my favourite; there is so much more things to do and everyone comes together and seem much happier when the sun is out- i love it!
3. Have you any siblings?
       Yeah i have an older sister and an older brother, i used to hate being the middle child as there is a lot of claims that the middle child is always the one that is left out. But thankfully for me that is not the case and i prefer being in the middle
4. Favourite skin care products?
        The Origins Drink up Intensive face mask is definately a saviour for my dry skin as it completely re-hydrates my skin and makes it so smooth and soft. Another skin care favourite of mine that i have mentioned in a previous post is the Garnier micellar water, it is amazing for taking off make up and is so good for your skin
5. Have you done anything exciting in the past week?
       Nothing:( i have literally worked all week and been to tired to do anything in the evenings. Such an exciting way for a 17 year old to spend the last few days of summer haha
6. When is your birthday?
     the 28th of April 1997
7. Favourite types of blogs to read?
     I love beauty and fashion blogs obviously, although they do make me want to go on an extreme spending spree and spend all my money on things i dont need haha. Being the OCD freak that i  am i also love organisation type blogs with tips and DIY posts
8. Bought any products that you didnt enjoy?
     This is going to be a shock as this product is a favourite of everyones and completely hyped. But recently i purchased the "MAC Studio Fix Fluid" Foundation and it really wasnt for me. it did not work well with my skin type compared to my other MAC foundations and left my skin orange and patchy, not a fan.
9. What colour eyeshadows do you like to wear?
     Im not really an eyeshadow wearer but when i do i like to keep it quite natural; sticking to only brown and champagne pink tones as i think they are quite natural and bring out my blue eyes
10. What country do you live in?
     Scotland unfortunately, *brrrrrr* haha
11. Favourite nail polish brand?
     Barry M nail Polishes or Tanya Burrs Nail polish lines are my complete favourites- love!
