Liebster Award

Hi lovelies. Thank goodness that my working week is over. Apologies if you are at work tomorrow, but I just had to say it. Recently I have been given a Liebster Award. I have posted this tag when awarded this previously from another blogger, but I thought this would be fun to do again as the Q&A's are different.


The Liebster Award has German origins, with the word meaning “dearest” or “most favourite”. The award is aimed at new up-and-coming bloggers with less followers than other bloggers.

Thanks to Sophie for my nomination :)

My Q&A's from Sophie:

Q. Who, what or where, do you get your style inspiration from?

A. From so many things really. Obviously other bloggers and vloggers. Especially when they create lookbooks. Magazines, films, music videos and people watching. I dress for how I want to feel and pay more attention to trends if they are about colours and textures rather than that one must have item.

Q. What do you currently have on repeat on your iPod?

A. I never have any song on repeat as I like to mix it up. I pretty much always play my music on shuffle skipping tracks until I find one to suit me at the time.

Q. What, or who, inspired you to start your blog?

A. After attending IMATS a few years ago and meeting one of the bloggers that I follow I felt like maybe I should give blogging a go. I didn't do it straight away, but I am passionate about beauty, make-up and fashion so I thought what do I really have to lose.

Q. What make-up item can you not live without, and why?

A. Mascara. If I am just popping out for 10mins I simply put on some mascara and lip balm and I'm good to go. Mascara will open up your eyes and make you like more awake.

Q. Describe your style using 2-3 images.

A. Fun, quirky and experimental. I am not this imaginative every day, but when the moods strikes!

Q. Do you have a fashion motto, and if so, what is it?

A. Day or night. Weekday or weekend. Everyday or occasion. Dress for how you feel!

Q. Which one other blogger inspires you daily, and why?

A. Sam from Beauty Crush. She has a sense of style that is all her own with a fab personality too. I always look forward to watching her videos, especially her lookbooks and make-up tutorials. Her vlogs are a great insight into her lifestyle too. They really make you want to spend a day out with her.  

Q. What one thing do most people not know about you?

A. That I was quite a grunge girl in my teens. Ripped jeans, checked shirts tied around the waist, black nails, peroxide hair, chokers, dark red lips, Dr Marten boots, bodycon skirts, Nirvana t-shirt. You get the idea.

Q. What is your dream career?

A. It's kind of an obvious one, but to blog and also vlog full time. I would dedicate so much more time to my blog if I didn't have to do my current full time paid job.

Q. What is your favourite season for fashion/make-up, and why?

A. I love to be warm and snuggly so I would probably say A/W for fashion. Jumper dresses, boots and scarves are what I live in. Make-up I probably enjoy more in the S/S because I love metallics and bold colour.

Q. What, besides blogging, do you like to do in your spare time?

A. Listen to music, read magazines, watch movies, apply make-up, pamper myself, spend time with my fella and my Mum. Ooh and shopping. I rarely do now I have a house, but I get a real buzz from it. 

I would like to nominate these 5 bloggers:

Boohoo Haul & Vote!

Hello lovelies. I am sorry that I only posted twice last week, but I was a wee bit caught up. Today I want to share a little haul with you and when I say haul I mean 2 items that are the same dress, but in different shades :)



These are the Rachel Ruched Waist Open Shoulder Dress in the two shades it comes in Grey Marl & Navy, Link

They are £15.00 each, but I had a 20% off discount so these were just £12.00 each. I really fancied something with an open shoulder and thought these would be good for summer. I like how this dress combines the new cut out trend while gathering slightly higher at the waist for a babydoll style.

It's very strange how they are a bit different though. They are the same size yet the navy one seems larger, slightly thinner and longer.

I also voted for BooHoo as Best Online Retailer in the Lorraine High Street Fashion Awards 2013 where you must vote for your favourite's by 9.30am tomorrow so hurry!!

I am a real fan of BooHoo and have shopped on the website many times. I wasn't too impressed by the packaging of my last order though as the black from it transferred onto me and my clothes.

Just something to note BooHoo!

Okay so that's it folks. Have you voted for BooHoo in the Lorraine High Street Fashion Awards 2013 or do you have another favourite? Let me know in the comments below.

I Got A Liebster Award :)

Hello, hello, hello Beautifully Addicted Lovelies. I have a smile on my face as I have been nominated for a Liebster Award by the lovely Shelley from The Shelley Diaries. Shelley has a very new blog which you should really check out!

1. List 11 facts about yourself.

2. Answer the 11 questions given to you.

4. I used to have my belly button pierced, but not anymore.

5. I am an only child.

6. I dislike most computer games except Sonic The Hedgehog.

7. I am not a fan of roast dinners so Sunday's are not traditional for me.

8. I hate foods such as prawns (except prawn toast) and mushrooms because of their textures.

9. I was named after my Dad (he was Victor and I am Victoria).

10. I love horror films.

11. I was obsessed with joke books as a child and now I can't remember any.


My Questions From Shelley:

1. If you were stranded on a desert Island what 3 products would you take?

A massive parasol because I burn so easily. A snuggly blanket because I hate being cold. Photos of my loved ones.

2. What is you favourite trend for Spring/Summer?

I do like a bit of floral print and I quite like the the pastel shades that are currently trending.

3. If you had an unlimited amount of money to spend in one shop, what shop would it be?

I would have to say Boots because I could buy soooooooooooooooooo many beauty products and my advantage points would go through the roof, ha ha.

4. Heels or flat?

On a day to day flats for sure, but nights out are usually always heels.

5. Creepers - Do you love them or hate them and why?

I just bought a pair in this haul post. They are so comfy.

6. What is you dream job?

Being paid to blog or write for a magazine. I would love to do some type of PR work.

7. What was your dream Job as a Child and why?

My first thought was that I wanted to be a secretary as I love to be organised and be responsible. I have worked in offices as I do now, but never as a secretary.

8. Movie night with friends or a big night out on the town and why?

On a regular basis we have movie nights in where we usually cook, but sometimes get a take away. I do enjoy a night on the town though as it's great getting dressed up and dancing the night away.

9. What is your favourite move?

I think this was meant to say movie? If so, I would have to say the first Ice Age for a giggle or Meet Joe Black for romance and some sobbing. I pretty much like anything with Brad Pitt in as yes he is adorable, but I really do like him as an actor.

10. What is your must have beauty product?

E.L.F. Studio High Definition Powder Translucent because it makes skin look beautiful and sets your base.

11. What is your favourite outfit or item of clothing and why?

I do love to just chuck on a pair of leggings with a long top, biker jacket and flats.


So here are the 11 questions that I put to these 9 bloggers:

"Editor's Pick": Be In Style Fashion Blog Award

Hi you lovely people. It is my one and only day off this week and I have to say I am a wee bit knackered, but hey the sun is shining so I should stop moaning :) 

I was sent an email from blogger and editor Jessica at Be In Style which is part of the Become.com blogging network. I have been chosen by Jessica as "Editors Pick". 

Jessica explained that this award is presented to blog's that are found to be exceptional and outstanding. Blogs that have a high amount of followers, have quality content, and are fun and enjoyable for readers. Jessica said I have far exceeded these guidelines which is why I was presented with the Be in Style: Editor's Pick Award.

Needless to say I am beyond flattered, but I still feel a bit shocked when I receive awards as there are so many bloggers and YouTube guru's that I am in awe of. I am however very grateful as it's nice to feel that the effort I put into my blog is recognised and I love writing it so it's win-win :) 

Here is the award that is now on the lower right hand side of my blog. 






       
You can check out Be In Style on Become.com here. I appreciate every single one of you that take the time to read my blog. I am looking to do more OOTD/OOTN posts, but if there are other type of posts that you wish to see just let me know in the comments below.

Top 10 Award: Lip Products

Hi there my lovelies. I was awarded the Top 10 Award by the gorgeous Beauty By Krystal




This my first ever tag post. I'm such a newbie to all this so let me know if there is something I have missed :) I have a real passion for all make-up, but I really tend to pick up lipsticks and lip glosses more than anything else so I thought I would share with you my 10 most reached for lip products.






LEFT - RIGHT: 

17 Lasting Fix Lipstick (Hot Chilli)

Make Up For Ever (Rouge Artist Intense - 37)

Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick (Red Hot - 168)

NYX Lip Smacking Fun Colours (Fire - 599)

MAC (Show Orchid)




LEFT - RIGHT as above

As you can see I love a bold lipstick, but I will try anything to see if it suits me.




LEFT - RIGHT: 


Miss Sporty XX Volume (Colour unknown) A rose colour

Accessorize Diamond Sparkle Lipgloss (Temptation - 2) This smells like toffee

Colour Lip Gloss from New Look (Colour unknown. Came with a nail polish) This smells like toffee also, but fainter

Miss Sporty XX Volume (Colour Unknown) A baby pink colour

Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar (Trollop)

Apologies for all the unknown lip gloss colours, but they are my most reached for so I had to put them in :)




LEFT - RIGHT as above


I love the toffee smell of temptation. Hard not to lick it off, but I really try not too as it has such great shimmer. Lip Tars are fantastic also. You should try them if you haven't already. I also love the Lip Tar Anime which is a very bold pink, but I would say I wear Trollop more.

So now I would like to pass this award on to these lovelies:























If you are one of my 10 nominated bloggers and you wish to take part in this tag please follow these rules:

♥ Link back to the person who tagged you to this post - Beauty By Krystal
 ♥ List your 10 favourite products (they can be anything)
 ♥ Nominate 10 other Bloggers

If you do not wish to take part in this tag I will not be offended. If you have not been nominated by me you can still let me know your top 10 in the comments below. They do not have to be lip products like I chose. They can be absolutely anything. Even if it's not make-up related.


Love to you all
