Liebster Award

[The meaning; Liebster is German and means, sweetest, kindest, nicest, dearest, beloved, lovely, kind, pleasant, valued, cute, endearing and welcome. ♥]

I have some VERY exciting news for you all. I have been nominated for the Liebster Award by the lovely Erin Bulger a fellow follower of mine! So thank you Erin - I'm flattered. So, If you are a new blogger like myself, you are probably thinking what on earth this award actually is. Well the Liebster Award has a few rules:

*You must link back to the person that nominated you*

*You must answer the 11 Liebster questions given to you by the nominee before you*

*You must pick 11 bloggers to be nominated for the award with under 200 followers* 

*You must come up with 11 questions for your nominees to answer* 

*You must go to their blogs and notify your nominees*

I'm going to get straight down to business and answer the questions from Erin:

1. What are your top 3 lip colours for the summer? 

This summer I'am without a doubt loving orange lips. I have been wearing 'costa chic' by MAC cosmetics, which is a lovely coral colour. I also LOVE Clinique long last lipstick in 'runway coral' it is such a statement colour, I'm still yet to buy it as it was sold out... but it's now back in stock... and I may have just put it into my online shopping basket... ooopsy! Also this summer I'm loving pink lips, from bright pinks, to more nude shades. Red is also a go to colour for me this summer. I used to be a little hesitant to wearing such bright colours, but they really boost your confidence and look great with tanned skin.

2. What is the last beauty/fashion item you purchased? 

The last beauty item I purchased was St Tropez everyday gradual tan and I have fallen in love with it (if that is possible?). It doesn't smell bad, works like a trooper with a tanning mitt. Streak free and gives such a natural finish.

3. If you could visit anywhere in the world, where would it be?

Well, here in the UK at the moment we aren't exactly having the best summer ever... but that is kind of expected. I would love to get away to the Caribbean Island of Saint Lucia. It is somewhere I have never been before and it just looks breath taking. I'm a sucker for the sea and a beautiful beach.

I also would love to take a walk in the Mystic forest in the Netherlands, it is meant to be beautiful...

4. Who is your favourite Youtuber/blogger?

Well Im a fan of many Youtubers and beauty bloggers. However, for me it comes down to it, two bloggers really stand out for me - Tanya Burr and Zoella. I'm a huge fan of them both, I must admit I do take a couple of hours out a week to watch their videos and read their blogs! I even had the chance to meet Tanya recently in London at a meet and greet, however it got cancelled due to such a huge amount of us turning up! If you haven't watched or read their blogs - check them out.

5. Favourite music artist?

I must admit I love a bit of Beyonce! I can guarantee it will get me on the dance floor, or get me singing at the top of my lungs - neither of which are always that great! And I must say, I went and saw her at the o2 in London a couple of months back and she was just incredible.

6. What make-up products are in your bag right now?

Funnily enough I don't actually have any make-up products in my bag right now! I know right - why!? Well I left my house in a rush this morning as I was running late for work and simply forgot to take my make-up essentials with me! But I do normally carry a small amount of beauty products with me. Check out my what's in my bag post to find what.

7. Favourite TV show?

This is horrendous but I will admit I am a bit of a TV junky... I love all the soaps from Hollyoaks to Coronation Street. If I have a free evening I will watch soaps from 6:30pm till around 8:30pm... Gosh that sounds horrendous! I'm now scared to also admit I love a bit of 'The Only Way Is Essex' and 'Made In Chelsea'! I also love a bit of Criminal Minds! Who doesn't love a bit of Matthew Gray Gubler.

8. Dresses or pants?

Well, if the sun really does make an appearance here in the UK as expected this weekend, I will most certainly be putting on my favourite maxi dress. But when it comes to practicality, I do rely on my "pants" or "trousers/jeans" as we call them here.

9. Your ideal day off would be spent doing what?

My ideal day off would be spent in London. I only live 45 mins away and most of my family live in the city. It is just such a great place, I love covent garden and Oxford street for shopping and Hyde Park or London Zoo if it's a nice day. There is just so much to offer in London - I'm a city girl at heart.

10. Your go to make-up brand?

Currently my go to make-up brand is NARS, I'am loving their sheer glow foundation and I also use their laguna bronzer and orgasm blusher! I highly recommend all three of these products!

11. What is your goal for your blog?
