I had never heard of the Liebster Award until Lauren mentioned it, and I feel chuffed to bits that she thought that my little blog was worthy enough to be nominated!
I've had a bit of a Google and there are a few of variations on the rules for the Liebster Award, so I thought I'd summarise with a few basics:
- You need to link back to the blogger that nominated you (in my case Lauren).
- Answer the questions set by them in their post.
- Nominate new blogs in your post, that generally have less than 2k followers.
- Create your own list of questions for your nominated bloggers.
- Finally notify your nominated blogs once you have published your Liebster post.

Here are Lauren's set of questions ...
- Where is your favourite place to visit?
I love going back and visiting the beaches in Devon where I grew up. It reminds me of being little and going with my Mum after school in the Summer.
- If you could have any magic power, what would it be?
I would love that whenever I pin an outfit on Pinterest it would magically appear in my wardrobe - That would be amazing!
- Which 3 people would you love to be your dinner guests?
I would love for Anna (Vivianna does makeup) and Lilly (Lilly Pebbles) to come, along with Marilyn Monroe because we would have some awesome beauty chats!
- Favourite drugstore beauty product?
Make Up Revolution has quickly become my favourite drugstore makeup brand. I can't live without their Death By Chocolate palette. The matte shades are so blendable and perfect for everyday looks.
- What is your favourite thing about yourself?
If you knew me well you'd know that I'm super insecure as a person, but I'd have to say I'm incredibly proud of how I've handled difficult situations in my life, so I'd say my resilience and determination are my favourite features.
- What makes you happy?
My family, boyfriend, friends, cat and blog make me happy. Along with beauty products of course... lol it's the little things.
- Top three films?
Dirty Dancing - obvious choice
Any James Bond - love Daniel Craig and Aston Martins specifically
Disney's Hercules - the adult humour in it is hilar!
- Favourite quote?
'Believe in dreams' I love it so much that I had it tattooed on my hip in Arabic.
- What is one of your best memories with your friends or family?
Getting ready for my high school prom when I was 16 with my best friend Emma is definitely an afternoon that holds really happy memories for me. I remember it being a gorgeous sunny day, my Mum did our hair and makeup and made us mocktails whilst we danced around the living room, it was fab.
- What was the reason you started blogging?
I started blogging because I loved reading blogs, and I thought why not give it a go and share my own opinions of products I love too. If someone finds my posts useful, or discovers a product they might not have picked up normally then thats great! Blogging is such a fab way of reaching a bigger audience and sharing a mutual love of something, the blogging community is honestly an awesome thing to be apart of #GroupHug
