Liebster Award...


Hey Loves,

So the lovely Olivia (Thanks again sweets) over at http://www.livvyy.blogspot.co.uk/ nominated me for a Liebster Award so here's my answers and at the end I'll tag some lovely fellow Blogger dolls to join in on the fun!

So, what are the Liebster awards...

To put it simply its a way of getting to know other bloggers and to gain recognition within the blogging community.
You answer the 11 questions via the person whom nominated you and then set 11 other bloggers questions you'd like them to answer :)

The official rules are as follows;

1.You must link back to the person who nominated you
2. You must answer the 11 questions that the person who nominated you asked.
3. Pick 11 other bloggers to answer your questions.
4. Create 11 new questions for them to answer
and finally...
5. Go to their blogs and notify them they have been nominated!

Simples.
LOL.

So here were the questions I was asked and my answers.

1.  What do you spend most of your money on? Clothes, shoes, accessories or food?
Most of my money goes on accessories followed closely by shoes. I love the fact that I don't have to try anything on, I know by holding up whatever jewellery piece has caught my eye that it will fit and I don't have to endure the lengthy task of entering the changing room! lol. That truly is a task and a half!

2. Summer Fashion or Winter? and why
I'd say AW for sure. I love rocking leather, faux fur and able to layer without boiling to death. LOL.

3. Fave place in the world and why?
"I LOVE NEW YORK" (said in a JayZ voice). What's there not to love about the big apple. I've been several times. I love the food, I love the malls. I especially love Queens in particular. Manhattens alright but I love grabbing a bargain!

4. What decade do you like? 40s 50s 60s 70s 80s or 90s?
This is a tricky one. But being born in the 80s and growing in the 90s, I'd say the 50s. The war would have just ended and I'd love to experience the changes in culture I've read about. I'd then get to experience the 60s, a time when my Nan came to London and obviously get to rock the fashion.

5. Fave designer?
Vivienne Westwood for her quirkiness.

6. Fave Brand?
Makeup - MAC and Sleek
Fashion - H&M and Zara

7. If you could interview anyone in the world, dead or alive, who would it be? (doesn't have to be fashion /beauty related)
Michael Jackson. My music idol. Grew up listening to him and being able to meet him face to face. Epic would be an understatement.

8. What fashion week do you prefer? LDN/MILAN/NY/PARIS
LDN - the best city ever!

9. If you had the opportunity to have either an unlimited number of bags or shoes which would you have?
Shoes. No brainer! lol

10. Do you remember an outfit that you used to love as a child - describe it...
My fave outfit from my childhood would be my NY baseball shirt and matching shorts with my LA Gear light up trainers! Owww! lol.

and last but not least...

11. What was the last exhibition you saw?
I love museums, and the last one I went too was the Geffrye Museum in Hackney.
Loved looking at the decor of homes throughout the decades.

I TAG!

#fotd and new beauty buys


Hey Loves,

Hope you've all enjoyed the little sun that we finally had the chance to embrace this weekend.
I woke up smiling seeing the sun shining through my window.
Everyone just seems so much happier when the weather perks up for 5mins! lol,...

Anywho, took a 5min walk to my local superdrugs and stumbled (finally) across the MUA highligher - (cheap as chips at £3) and having got it home and tested it out - I love it already.

And surprisingly, browsing the other stands I found a concealer that for a drug store product has surprised me that it matches my skin tone. It was from - wait for it - Miss Sporty and was a measly £2.99!!!
It's a shame other brands don't embrace the variations of black skin tones. I can find foundation in Revlon and Maybelline but not all the brands cater for us brown girls, which in 2013 should not be the case. Not a fan of sleeks foundations and the only other option would be going higher end. *shrugs* nay mind!

But yeah, just wanted to say "Hiiiii" and be sure to check out my latest videos on YouTubes!

New Beauty Buys - Revlon vs Maybelline

Hey Loves,

Just a quick post to share some of my latest beauty buys with my makeup lovers!

So - towards the end of last year I purchased Maybellines "Fit Me" foundation after receiving a sample.
Loved it initially, however, I started to notice recently that I was getting a red rash on my cheeks, so decided to ditch it.

I then purchased Revlons "Nearly Naked" foundation and have to say I love it already!
It's perfect. Blends well, Isn't heavy and is great for my normal/dry skin.




Whilst I was browsing the stand I also saw the Lip Butters and after swatching a few I fell in love with "Pink Truffle".
I love the colour pay off and the fact that the colours buildable. 
I wish I'd brought more now.
