Liebster Award 2


I have been nominated for the Liebster award by the gorgeous Mehreen. As most of you will know the Liebster award is designed to promote upcoming blogs. Here are my answers to Mehreen's questions:

1. What's your favourite skin care product?
I often find skincare products to do the opposite of what they claim to do, however I love the Good things skincare range particularly the creamy cleanser and the mattifying moisturiser.

2. If you could be any celebrity for the day, who would it be?
Ooh this is a hard one, I'd have to go for Kim Kardashian I know a lot of people dislike her but seriously, married to Kanye West and having Mario Dedivanovic as your makeup artist?!

3. What's the best present you've received?
The best present I've received would have to be NARS albatross hilighter, a Christmas gift from my best friend Charlotte. This product is a game changer when it comes to creating flawless, glowing skin and I couldn't be without it!

4. What's your favourite designer?
My favourite designer would have to be Alexander Wang as his designs are minimal and wearable yet have a futuristic edge.

5. If you could choose one make up company to work with, who would it be?

Its a tough decision between MAC and NARS but the deciding factor would be the huge range of products available at MAC and the exciting new collections being launched.

6. Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?
In 5 years time I hope to be graduating university, hopefully I will have moved out and I plan to build my blog! I then hope to go into a fashion or beauty related career.

7. What's your favourite online shopping website?
I love Sheinside but the shipping takes ages!

8. What book have you read recently, and enjoyed?
I have recently read 'The beautiful and the damned' by Scott Fitzgerald after studying 'The Great Gatsby' in English Literature. I love Fitzgerald's descriptive style and the unconventional romance storyline.

9. How did you think of your blog name?
I have a keen interest in fashion and wanted my blog to reflect that, I also have a huge stack of Vogue magazines in my room that are undeniably inconvinent yet I can't bring myself to get rid of them. I find myself being drawn to the sea and I find the beach a very tranquil and relaxing setting.

10. Tea or coffee?
Neither! I love the smell of coffee but I am not a fan of the taste, I tried to join the green tea bandwagon but it just tastes odd.

11. What's your favourite beauty product at the moment?
My favourite beauty product would have to be MAC Kid eye-shadow, this shade looks very non-descript in the pan but it makes the perfect transition colour for any smokey eye whether it be black or bronze.

My questions:
1) Favourite restaurant dish?
2) Favourite makeup artist?
3) The one thing you cant stop buying...?
4) Dream travel destination?
5) A culture you are interested in...?
6) Favourite fashion show SS14
7) Major plans for the year...?
8) Most visited high street store?
9) Favourite song?
10) Celebrity style icon?
11) Favourite blog?

Libester Awards

I am really grateful to Catlin Crawford for nominating me for the Liebster award as my blog is still so tiny! The 11 bloggers I would like to nominate for this award are:
Laura Lee
Joven Estilo
Charlotte Radcliffe
Lilyana Turner
Kate Ward
Vanessa Medel
Rachel Martin
Olivia Nash
Hannah Mgee
Gratsi Katega
Carla Webster


What's your favourite beauty item at the moment?
My current favorite beauty item would have to be the Revlon Matte Balm in the shade showy. Its such a gorgeous neon pink, similar to MAC Candy yum yum and despite being wary of a matte finish, this isn't too drying and applies really creamy!

If you had to give up blogging or Tweeting, which would it be?
This is a difficult one as I love reading other people's tweets but don't tweet that often myself so I would probably give up tweeting. Plus I enjoy writing blog posts more.

Dream holiday?
There are so many places I want to go in the world but I'd love to tour America as there is so much to see: Shopping in New york, surfing in California and riding roller coasters at Disneyworld!

When and why did you start blogging?
I started to write blog posts around three years ago but always ended up deleting my blog because I wasn't happy with it. I started blogging on Vogue Beach a year ago because I love fashion and because I have an obscene amount of makeup that I should put to good use!

Eyeshadow or lipstick?
Definitely eyeshadow, I cannot function without a smokey eye!

Who is your celebrity crush?
Hmm I have quite a few, I would say Chris Hemsworth because his six-pack is the only reason I sat
through Thor, (even though my friend thinks he looks like a llama.)

Favourite quote?
I am actually finding Ru Paul's drag race very inspirational right now my favourite quotes being 'If you can't love yourself, how the hell are you going to love anybody else?' and 'Don't fuck it up.'
Name one thing you're most looking forward to this year.
I am super excited for summer this year because I have made a huge bucket list with my best friend and can't wait to break up from school I plan to explore the city and spend long, lazy days watching films.

Do you have any pets?
I have a blue-mitted ragdoll cat called Misty and a Persian/Norwegian forest cross called Alfie and they are my pride and joy.

What's your favourite album right now?
My taste in music changes constantly but right now my favourite album would have to be Drake 'Nothing was the same' and I am going to see him in March at the MEN. So excited!

Do you have any advice or tips for your readers?
My advice would be to not get weighed down by day to day negativity and focus on positive goals and aspirations :)
