QUESTION&ANSWER

MY FIRST Q&A

So I posted on my instagram that I was going to do a Q&A Blogpost and surprisingly got a huge response, and have set out to answer every single question I received! Looking through the questions they are mainly on Beauty but there are a few Fashion questions and Lifestyle questions... A lot of the questions were the same, worded differently but the same, so do not be disheartened as i just merged the similar questions together, all your questions have been answered!

What inspired you to start your Blog?

Over the past 2 years I have just become fashion and beauty obsessed, and felt I had strong enough opinions to share on both fashion and beauty. I felt it was the right time to start a blog, and it also keeps me in touch with my interests while I study A-Levels that have no relevance to fashion and beauty.

Who inspires you in life? 

Good question! I find inspiration from anywhere and everywhere, when it comes to my blog I find inspiration from magazines, other bloggers, fashion shows, etc. General life inspiration I look for in my loved ones, of course. Oh and Oliva Pamlero if we are talking fashion, I love her!

Is your Blog a Career Choice?

Not necessarily, I would not turn down any career options my blog may happen to inspire, however my life long dream has always been to be a fashion buyer.

Would you work with any other Blogger's?

Of course! I haven't looked into blogger collaborations much since I've started my blog as my dedication is slipping away during exam season, but come June when I finish it will definitely be something I would consider.

Would you ever start a YouTube channel?

I haven't completely ruled out the idea, but for the moment I am comfortable in what I am doing. I might look more into it in the near future, but for the moment I am really happy with my blog!

Would you recommend any Eye Palettes?

My all time holy grail, whether it was £1 or £100 will always be the Urban Decay Naked Palettes! They are the best, well worth the money! When comparing to my MAC Palette, which was over £60, Urban Decay at just under £40 is SO much better. (I do love my MAC palette btw!) If we are talking drug store, I have recently discovered the brand "Revolution" and they have such fab eye palettes, I only have the matte palette, which I LOVE! If you are looking to buy one palette, for every day and every night, I would say the NAKED 2 Palette, as you have a variety of shades to create an everyday look, or a night time smokey eye, a versatile palette, well worth the money!

Do you recommend any Hair Products?

Okay, so hair really is not my forte BUT there are a few things I love. I use the John Freida Volume Root Booster Blow Dry Spray, The Heat Defence and their Hair Spray, and always find them fab! I love my Whitney Marie's extensions, I use to buy extensions all the time, and find that the extensions Whitney Marie kindly sent me, one pack is what I use to have to buy three for! Its amazing, I only use a 1/4 of the pack, my hair is long, but extensions make my hair look so much thicker! Also, I love Argon Oil, you can buy this in the 99p store, Primark, etc. It is really not a lot of money, and it does wonders for your hair!

Favourite Fashion and Beauty Bloggers?

Ooh, good question! Beauty wise I love Shaaanxo's YouTube Channel, and Lauren Curtis, I do love Australian Blogger's in case you didn't notice! Also, I LOVE TANYA BURR, I am literally obsessed, Fashion wise I don't really have a favourite, I read so many, but I love Megan Cawe and Sarah Ashcroft, I would say my style is very like there's, where as other blog's I love I look at and think you look fabulous, but I could never pull that off!

Favourite Make Up Brand?

Another good question! I have different favourites, for different products really! Favourite for foundation is YSL, although everytime I buy one I feel guilty using it for everyday use, but the YSL Fusion Ink Foundation is amazing! If I had to say one I'd have to say YSL, I love there foundation's, lipstick's, lipgloss's, blusher's, the whole brand is amazing. However, I love Benefit so much, and I LOVE Rimmel for mascaras, I literally never buy mascaras elsewhere!

Best Fake Tan for a Natural Look?

I use Bronze Godess at home spray tan, I bought this in home bargains for just £7,99 and haven't looked back since! One layer will give you the perfect colour, other tans I love are Garnier Summerbody, Rimmel Instand, St Moritz and I am dying to try Bondi Sands, which has recently come to superdrug!

Favourite Cream Eyeshadows?

I love cream eye shadows as they work as a priming base, yet contribute to the colour as well! I have tried a few, but always come back to the Maybeline Colour Tattoos, they are the best, although Mac Paint Pots are fab, but out of the two I would always reach for Maybeline Colour Tattoos.

Is the Anastasia Brow Pomade better then a Brow Pencil?
I find that this has been the best brow product I have found for a while, but I do have my good and bad days with this product, I have this with all products though, its a brow thing! It is a lot less convenient than a brow pencil, but it creates a much smoother more, natural looking brow, and it glides on your brow and is super easy to work with 9 times out of 10. Would definitely recommend!

Favourite High End Brand?
YSL is my all time favourite, when it comes to high end, everything about their products are pure luxury, even the packaging.

What Make Up Brands are you dying to try?
Armani! I've heard so much praise about there make up and have never tried, and Marc Jacobs. Also, there are many over seas brands I would love to try such as Austraillis, Ben Nye, Physians Formula, etc. a lot of American brands!

Rate the Anastasia Beverly Hills Kit out of 10, and Why?
10! It's amazing! I am always one to contour so I like an everyday contour and a dramatic one for when I go out, the same with highlighting, this kit can cater to all my needs as well as being an excellent product that lasts on the skin and creates amazing definition and highlighting.

How Do You Decide Whether or not to Splurge on an Expensive Fashion/Beauty Item?
Okay, with fashion items I always ask myself... Will I wear this? How many times will I wear this? What do I have already that I could wear this with? Normally, when I go out out I do not re wear so I do not mind splurging on an outfit I will wear once as I tend to sell it on, as it is no longer use to me.
With Beauty items, I always look at what others have to say, what the brand itself claims about the product! I am quite good at talking myself out of beauty buys lately due to the huge collection I already have, but if it really tempts me I will splurge, but never on an item I know nothing about (apart from lipsticks! A nice shade can tempt me so easily!)

Favourite Place to shop Fashion and Beauty on Budget?
Beauty wise, of course Boots or Superdrug, but brand specifically I have been loving Revolution, and Rimmel and Maybeline will always be dear to my heart. Also, LaBelle-UK Cosmetics is my go to for beauty on a budget lately, as you are able to get American Drugstore Brands, for so cheap, normally you find people on eBay ripping you off.
Fashion wise I can always find something in New Look on a budget, two recent favourites are MissPap and PrettyLittleThing, both online boutiques, so cheap, yet you can always find something!

You Can Only Shop in One Store... Which one?
Oooh, thats easy! ZARA of course, every time I go in there I come to the conclusion that I need to own at least half of their newest collections. Can easily find a day or night outfit, head to toe, that will always be my one shop wonder!

Thank you for all of your questions, if I missed any, or you just have a few more Q's on your mind, don't hesitate to ask me!
