The Liebster Award is for new and up-and-coming bloggers to finally get recognised for all the awesome blogging they do! I think this virtual award is such a great way for promoting and recognising those hidden gems. I was nominated by the lovely Rebecca to answer her questions and then nominate 11 other bloggers with under 200 followers and ask them questions of my choice!

Lipsticks are probably one of my favourite beauty products to buy, especially cheaper drugstore finds. Who doesn't love finding cheap alternatives?! Even though it's getting nearer spring I still love the dark lip look but that doesn't stop me from also heading towards a nude and fresh look.


MUA Matte Lipstick Totally Nude (£1) The other MUA lipsticks I bought is in the shade Totally Nude. I struggle to find nude lipsticks which don't make it look like I'm trying to work the unfortunate 'concealer on lips' trend (god knows why anyone tried that) and for such a low price as well. MUA's shade has just enough of a light peachy/pink tone to keep it from going too pale and a lovely shade to wear.

Lipstick Swatches

Collection Lip Definer Damson (£2.79) It's been months since I've owned a lip liner and after picking up the Wild Berry MUA Lipstick I felt like a new lip liner was needed. The Collection lip definers caught my eye and I thought I'd give them ago. They apply so well and this shade looks great with the MUA lipstick. If you have a shaky hand though this shade is a risky one as the slightest bit out of line is noticeable.




Collection Lip Definer Nude Pink (£2.79) Not only for a match for the nude but because Nude lip liners are great for lining with many shades, this was an essential. I am OBSESSED with this shade and the dark nude colour goes great with so many lipsticks or just used a lip coverage on it's own. This will definitely be featured in many Instagram photos in the future.

I am lucky that I don't have the worst thing but when the weather suddenly changes, like this blistering cold spell, my skin tends to break out or become dry so I like to make sure I have a solid skincare routine to keep my skin in as good condition as I can. Over the years I haven't been very good with taking care of my face in the morning and night but I decided I need to make a change. I've been through various products in the past but this routine and these products are ones I'm settled with moment.


Morning Routine:
The first thing I use in the morning is the Garnier Pure Active Micellar Cleansing Water. In the mornings even though I generally have no make-up on my face it is great for purify your skin and making it feel fresh.

Then I use the Neutrogena Visibly Clear Spot Clearing Facial Wash. I love Neutrogena products for spot treatment and for me it works really well. It's so good at clearing up blackheads and spots that you have. I haven't broken out as much since I've been using this face wash. The pink grapefruit face wash is also really good and smells great too.

As I found out yesterday, a new hair cut can change your mindset completely. After having long hair for many many years I decided it was time to change it up a bit and chop it all, well a lot of it, off. I could have gone for mid-length, below shoulders but I went with a more drastic change for me and went to my shoulders in a nice long bob. I am so happy with my new hair. It's completely changed the way I look and for now at least it's boosted my confidence...TO A SOLID 2%!!! Strangely I had no nerves when it came to getting it done. I don't know whether it was the amazing staff and atmosphere at the salon or the dire need for a new do but as soon as she cut it off I had no regrets. Already I'm feeling the perks of shorter hair; it doesn't lay flat and the volume boosts; you can style it more; you don't the ends caught in bags and zips; and endless more. To anyone who can't decided whether changing your style completely is for you, just do it. Take the risk like I did and you won't regret it. If people have said that they think you'd love it or it might look great then trust them, they'd tell you not too if they thought it was a bad idea (that's why I'll never go blonde).
