Today I am going to be doing the beauty blogger tag for you all. First of all I would just like to apologise for how lame I have been recently with uploading, but all of a sudden I have had S O much school work! I am currently working on a DIY post for y'all though! Anyway I though a tag would be fun so without further a do...
QUESTION ONE
Why did you start blogging and how long have you been blogging for?
I started blogging because I wanted a hobby, and a boost of confidence! I thought it would be something extra to do and it just looked like fun! I've been blogging for nearly 4 months which really doesn't sound like a lot but it seems like forever!
QUESTION TWO
Whose blog did you fall in love with first?
I don't think I feel in love with one blog in particular, however reading all the youtubers blogs (Zoe, Tanya, Louise, Fleur etc.) really made me interested I suppose!
QUESTION THREE
What was the first blogosphere hyped about product that you bought? Was it worth the hype?
Ooh toughie. I think it was the MAC lipstick in Creme Cup. I absolutely adore this colour and it suits my skin tone so well, however it doesn't suit everyone! It's extremely blue toned and for some people warm toned lip products definitely suit them way better. So, even though I love it and use it all the time, doesn't mean everyone will! It is a lovely pink nude colour, and I have mentioned it previously. It doesn't suit a lot of my friends skin tones so it definitely shows that you need to think before you buy! However if you have skin like me I would definitely recommend it!
QUESTION FOUR
What are you five favourite things about blogging and being a Beauty Blogger?
1. Other bloggers! I love talking to and meeting lots of new and like minded people through blogging, as you all have the same hobby - blogging!
2. Writing blog posts - hopefully this is an obvious one, but I really love writing blog posts. It's something to do at the end of a long day to unwind, or something to fill spare time (when I have any!). I love writing about things I am passionate about and that's exactly what blogging allows me to do. Although it does take a rather long time and it really annoys me when people say I need to make more of an effort!
3. Reading Blogs - I love reading other bloggers blog posts, I know that if I'm unsure on a new product, or need style inspiration I can just turn to my Reading List and find what I'm looking for! It's like a never ending online magazine!

4. Trying lots of new, recommended products! I absolutely love reading recommendations by other beauty bloggers and trying them all out!
QUESTION FIVE
What have you learnt from being a Beauty Blogger?
I've learnt many things through blogging, one being the one I mentioned earlier, just because everyone else likes something - it doesn't mean you will/ have to! I have also learnt that it has increased my confidence although it still make me feel uncomfortable when I get rude remarks from people at school!
QUESTION SIX
Have you changed anything since becoming a Beauty Blogger?
Not as such. I've changed my camera as my little digital just wasn't doing it for me, but other than that I haven't. I think that's the beauty of blogging though, you don't need to change anything. You can run a successful blog from your bedroom! You don't need fancy lighting, lots of makeup or an expensive camera. Your blog is what you make it and you can do it your way!
QUESTION SEVEN
What advice would you give to a beauty blogger just starting out?
Exactly as I've just said - do it your way! Don't compare yourself to other bloggers, don't try to be other bloggers and don't worry if you don't get 10,000 followers in two weeks. It's fine to take inspiration from other bloggers, I find it super flattering when bloggers say they're inspired by me! But it's not okay to copy, there are tons of blogs out there, how boring would it be if they were all the same? We all have our own writing style and our posts are all different and that's the best way to be. Do things how you want to and don't feel pressured to be like anyone else. Also, be patient! The follower number doesn't matter, it's amazing when you hit a milestone, whether it's 50 followers or 5000 followers - as long as you have loyal followers who enjoy your posts, that's the main thing.
QUESTION EIGHT
What are your top 5 makeup brands?
MAC - Duh. It's a cliche but when it comes to lipstick and eyeshadow, nothing compares. It's also not hugely over priced in comparison to other brands too, it's expensive, but way easier to justify than Chanel or Tom Ford!
Benefit - I love Benefit Primers and Mascaras and the super fun packaging helps massively too.

Soap & Glory - One of my fave high street brands. The What's Nude Eyeshadow Palette is fab for Makeup beginners or if you love a neutral eye but need it on a budget! I also adore their lip plumper's!
Topshop - Another fab high street brand, the nail polishes are gorgeous and their lipsticks are a close second to MAC for me. I also adore Topshop cream blushes!
Rimmel - I think it has to be Rimmel because there prices are so good & some onf my favourite make up items are from there!

QUESTION NINE
Recommend your top 5 beauty products..
Benefit 'They're Real Mascara'- I'm sure I don't need to tell you all about this, but it's my most favourite mascara ever - literally makes my lashes look false!
Mac Creme Cup Lipstick - I have already mentioned this but I would recommend it to anyone with my skin type (very light & normal - oily)
Benefit 'Porefessional' - This leaves my skin in such a great condition!
Topshop Cream Blushers - I don't think I would recommend a shade in particular because it depends on the Makeup look you go for, however they are so lovely!
Rimmel Stay Matte Powder - This is such a cheap alternative powder & yet one of my favourite! I adore it so much and it's only something like £3.99 - CRAZY!
Hope you enjoyed this little tag!
I'd love to know if you've done any tag posts lately as I love to read them - I tag you ALL so let me know if you do this! Once again I'm sorry I haven't been uploading as much recently :'(
