I have been nominated for a Liebster Award! To be honest, I had no idea what this really meant at first but following a quick Google fundamentally the award is designed to get new bloggers welcomed and integrated into the blogosphere… so Hi! There are many variations of the rules but on the whole they are as follows:
- Thank and mention/link back to the blogger who nominated you.
- Provide 11 facts about yourself
- Answer the 11 questions put to you
- Create a new set of 11 questions for nominees
- Nominate 5-11 bloggers with less than 200 followers and let them know they have been nominated and for them to continue the chain. (I’ll apologise now, it was a struggle to find new bloggers with less than 200 followers, you’re all fabulous!).
Simples… I think?!
So without any further delay I would like to give a big squishy thank you to Laura’s Raves for my nomination! I am not new to blogging but this blog is and I am working hard at getting it firmly established and producing content that you lovely lot want to read, so to get a nomination means a lot so thank you!

11 questions I was asked for the Liebster award
- What is a song that gives you an extra boost of confidence?
Jump Around by House of Pain!
- What’s your favorite high-end cosmetics brand?
I am going to be honest here, I haven’t had the opportunity to try anything really high end, but if I could though try anything from any brand, I would like to give Chanel a shot or YSL as I have always heard good things, particularly the lipsticks!
- Fanny packs: Like or dislike?
Lol! Well for starters the name is not attractive; in the UK they are more commonly known as the ‘bum bag’ which is slightly better… As an item, I am actually going to pump for like! Sometimes they are just really useful!
- One trend you’d like to see make a comeback?
Erm…
- If you could play any instrument, which one would you want to be able to play?
I used to play the flute and the saxophone which have been a bit neglected in recent years but I would love to learn to play the violin. When this instrument is played well it just sings!
- Favorite hair style?
This.
- Favorite perfume?
Juicy Couture!
- Favorite style of shoe?
The failsafe stiletto, what doesn’t it go with?
- One makeup brand that is available in another country that you wish was available in yours?
Again, my interest and knowledge of beauty and brands is not advanced enough to be able to answer this. Sorry!
10. If you could only have one makeup brush, which type would you want to have?
I have recently bought the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush –I now wouldn’t live without it!
11. Favorite Benefit product?
The new Push Up gel liner. I love Benefit as a whole but this product is a total game changer on the eye liner market!
The questions for my nominees are:
1. What is your favourite product in your make-up bag?
2. Greatest holiday and why?
3. If you could share a glass of wine (or beverage of your choice) with a famous celebrity, who would it be?
4. There is a national food crisis, for the next 12 months you can only buy the same 5 items of food each time you go shopping… what would they be?
5. What came first, the chicken or the egg?
6. Favourite shop on the high street?

8. Richard Branson calls and says you have won a ticket for two to anywhere in the world, where are you going?
