Liebster Award

Hello Ladies!

Thanks to the fab Roxanne from LollyLou for nominating me for the Liebster Award! After a bit of research I figured out what it's all about, It's an award for new bloggers with under 200 followers, once you receive a nomination you can then go on to nominate 11 other new bloggers. It's a great way for new blogs to get discovered and I really enjoyed doing it and reading other peoples, I think it lets you see the blogger a bit more personally. There are a few little rules that need to be followed.

The Rules:

1. Each blogger should answer the questions the tagger has set for you. 

2. Choose 11 new bloggers to pass the award onto and link them in your post.

3. Create 11 new questions for the chosen bloggers. 

4. Go back to their page and tell them about the award. 

5. Each blogger should post 11 Random facts about themselves. 

6. No tag-backs! 

Roxannes Questions:

 What is your best memory?

 Without a shadow of a doubt my best memory is meeting my little girl for the very first time. I’ll never forget how I felt the moment I first laid eyes on her, it was unconditional love at first sight. I was so proud of her and so proud of myself.

  What is your favourite makeup brand?

 This is a tough one! I love Benefit, the makeup is amazing quality and the packaging is gorgeous too, however saying that, I've been really impressed by Urban Decay lately too! I’d probably have to pick Benefit for foundations, concealers and mascaras but Urban Decay eyeshadow is hard beat and I’m absolutely head over heels in love with Naked Flushed… And for a budget brand Rimmel have been quite impressive lately, one word- Apocolips- nuff said!!

 Did someone inspire you to write a blog? If so who?

 Yes! My best friend Danielle, she has the loveliest blog ever, The Imperfect Beauty Queen. She eventually talked me into it and being the gem that she is even helped me set it up! Love this girl so much!

 What is your favourite film?

 It really depends on my mood...’ P.S I love you’ for a good cry and an ogle at Gerard Butler, ‘Pineapple Express’ or ‘Ted’ for a good laugh or ‘Cruel Intentions 1’ for a bit of drama, I don’t do scary! Haha!

 Where is your favourite place to shop?

 As I live in the middle of nowhere I do most of my shopping online, I love boohoo.com and asos.com.  If I do get the chance to do some ‘real life’ shopping though I’ll definitely hit Penny’s (Primark) and if I want something really nice I’ll usually go to River Island.

 Do you prefer pastel or neon? Why?

 I’m definitely more into pastels, I think they’re girlier and more feminine. That’s not to say that I never wear neon though!

Stripes or spots? Why?

 I like both but I’d probably have to choose spots.

Do you have one true wish? What is it?

 Yeah, that my daughter will live a long, happy, healthy and prosperous life, what more could I ask for?!

  What is your biggest fear?

 Loosing people that are close to me.

 Do you prefer beauty or fashion?

 Definitely beauty! Although they do sort of go hand in hand!

Who is your biggest idol/Role model? Why?

 My mum. She was always so strong and determined and always done things her own way despite what other people might have thought. She was true to herself and stood up for what she believed in. If I can be half the woman and half the mother she was I’ll be proud of myself!
