The very inspiring blogger award

So a few months  ago, before my break from Blogging The lovely Yana, from  TimeWithYana , nominated me to do the 'Very Inspiring Blogger Award' and considering what an avid reader I am of Yana's posts, it would be rude not to!

The rules
You have to write seven facts about yourself (random or beauty related)
Nominate five bloggers for the award
Let your nominees know you've tagged them.

Sounds fun! Let's Get right into it.

1, I am very disorganized and a massive procrastinator.

2, I love dressing up, not fancy dress. But I am basically always the overdressed one.

3, My friends get quite annoyed going shopping with me because I am a massive enabler, I really should work in retail haha.

4, I like to live my life by the motto that you can never have too many lipsticks. No I do not have a problem

5, I am quite an open minded person and I am not afraid to speak up when I don't agree with what someone is saying.

6, I am quite clumsy, I'm constantly losing my balance, tripping over and get compared to Miranda Hart far too often.

7, When I was four, I was dancing and jumping on the sofa to a song in "The sound of music" and I fell off, and broke my elbow. #partyhard

So there you go, I hope you enjoyed learning some little facts about me.

I nominate:

Laura

Ellie Loves #3 - Lip Edition

Hello lovelies!

As most of you will know, I am a massive lip product lover. I'd go bold lips over bold eyes any day. Today I thought I would share my favourite lip products with you fellow lip junkies out there.

The Drugstore Offering;
The best lip product discovery I've ever made is the Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvets. The formula is absolutely gorgeous, It goes on opaque, sits comfortably on the lips (No flaky lips over here) and does not budge all day long- Perfect. They sure do pack a punch for under £10! I love the shades frambourjoise and Nude(ist) - both absolutely gorgeous.


The High-end Offering;
I think everyone and their mum knows about the infamous Mac cosmetics lipstick range, the abundance of shades, finishes and collections. I love the shades Plumful- which is a dark berry toned nude shade, and Rebel - a dark pinky purple. Both are fairly long lasting, but are not matte shades, so they do need topping up every few hours.

I've made a fair few makeup discoveries in the past year, I hope you enjoyed reading this, If you have any favourite lip products or recommendations then please leave them in the comments because I would love to know, I'm a bit of a lip product addict.

The liebster award!

Hello lovelies!

Recently I have been tagged twice (By the lovely Bethan and Nadine) to do the Liebster Award/Tag, Thank you ladies, I have chosen a selection of each of your sets of questions. Here goes!

The Rules:
- First thank and mention the person who nominated you
- Then answer the questions they asked you
- Nominate up to 11 blogs that have around 200 followers or less
- Think of 11 questions to ask your nominees
- And finally notify all the people you nominated


1. How would you describe yourself? 

This is a hard question for me, I would describe myself as quite confident, a bit independent and very affectionate. I think I change depending on who I am around, I am very confident around strangers, not so confident around teenaged boys, sigh.


2. Any Hobbies?

I've loved musical theatre since I was absolutely tiny, I do not do any form of club now, but I have done various stage schools in the past. Now I just sing to my friends mostly, not sure how they feel about that. 


3. What is your favourite lipstick to give you the most confidence?

I definitely feel more confident in a bold lip, my favourite at the moment is Mac's Rebel.

4. How long will you continue blogging for?

I hope to continue blogging for as long as I enjoy it, as that is the ultimate reason of why I do it in the first place.

5. Would you rather have Starbucks or Costa?

Oh no you didn't! Oh man, I don't know! Considering I only really get frappes and Iced drinks, I guess it makes no difference to me.

6. Which do you prefer; Summer or Autumn?

I love summer, but this might be to do with time off school. My favourite time of year is around late September/ early October when its starting to get cooler, the days are still fairly long and you can basically wear what you want.

7. If you could change 1 thing about yourself what would it be?

Definitely my self conscious-ness, I don't know if this is just a teenaged thing and I might grow out of it. But right now I am very self conscious about a few things I have no control of.

8. If you could be invisible for the day, what would you do?

People watch, without looking like a weirdo.

9. High End or High Street makeup?

I get extremely excited about High End makeup, High street is amazing, but I get a rush when I buy something from Mac or Benefit. So it has to go to High End.

10. What would you tell your younger self?

I would tell my younger self not to involve myself with a few certain people, and not to pick GCSE French.

11. What is your favourite brand? (Makeup, skincare, nails, clothing shop)

My favourite Makeup Brand has to be Bourjois, Mac or Benefit.

Skincare? I should definitely use some more, but at the moment I love Simple.

I only have 1 nail polish from OPI but I love the formula so much, I definitely need to look in to buying more. 

My favourite clothing shop has to be H&M, I love their clothes endlessly and the prices are great.

I hope you enjoyed that little post, Thanks again to Bethan and Nadine for tagging me.
