Benefit Groovy kind-a love!



Hello lovelies!

So last weekend I made a sneaky trip to debenhams to look at makeup. Unexpectedly, I walked out with this beautiful palette from benefit! (It was in the sale, I couldn't justify not buying it) Having only had this for a week I don't think i can review it for you just yet but I will share some pictures of it with you so we can all bask in its glory.

The Liebster award!

Hello Lovelies!


So today is a very exciting post for me, I am actually grinning like an idiot whilst typing this! The extremely lovely SincerelyBrionyBea nominated me to do 'Liebster Award' Which i had never heard of before, but to put it simply It is a blog post which is designed specifically for smaller bloggers to get to know eachother. There is 11 questions that the person who nominated you created that you have to answer. I was shocked to see that someone actually reads my blog! You then leave your own 11 questions and the people you nominate at the end of your blogpost.

Here are the questions that I got nominated to answer:


1. What is your favourite colour/design you've ever had on your nails?
I have never been a big nail art lover. I am just a fan of a simple manicure with perhaps a glitter feature nail. I absolutely love the nail polish i am wearing now which is Sally Hansen - Green tea. I believe this nail polish is discontinued now but you can find many similar nail polishes such as Essie - Mint Candy Apple

If i choose to wear glitter on my ring finger, I use the Rimmel london nail polish in disco ball or a limited edition barry m glitter from christmas time.

   2. What is your favourite lip balm?
My favourite lip balm is either a classic Carmex or a Nivea lip balm

3. Who is your favourite artist/band at the moment?
I am absolutely loving Lorde at the moment. Her album pure heroine is just perfection. I also have re-discovered my old obsession with The midnight beast. (Guilty pleasure) I can also see myself becoming very quickly unhealthily obsessed with Nina Nesbitt. And her style omg 

4. How often do you wear eyeliner?
I wear eyeliner probably one or two days a week. I used to obsessively wear it everyday this time last year but we won't talk about that.

5. Your dream career?
I'm not going to say what I think I'll end up doing but imagine making a living from making YouTube videos! 

6. What is your favourite face wash to use?
Good ol' warm water

7. Jumpers or cardigans?
Cardigans because I'm a big skirt and dress wearer.

 8. Your favourite pair of shoes?
It would have to be either my Hi-top houndstooth converse, My low top white converse, or my Wedged brown boots.


9. Why did you decide to begin blogging?
I began blogging in June 2013, I chose to because I was really getting into makeup. I had heard all about it on instagram and i was interested. To hear about it fully check out my very first blog post

10. Do you watch any YouTubers? 
I watch way too many! I watch the "Youtube Gang" (Zoe , Louise , Alfie , Marcus , Caspar , Jim , Joe etc) My favourite youtuber is Kailee Mckenzie 

11. If you could recommend ONE beauty product to everyone, what would it be?

I would recommend the Revlon lash potion mascara if you don't get mascara transferring onto your undereye area. If you do i recommend Benefit They're real! Mascara You do not have to spend this much but it is an amazing mascara. I definitely recommend the Mua Undressed Palette.
