Ooo this is a hard one.. only 3 products Anna?! 1. MAC Strobe cream 2. Dry Shampoo 3. My eyebrow kit!

 

Why did you decide to start blogging?

I decided to start blogging because it because my bedtime read turned into reading blogs and before I purchased anything I looked through the blogging community for positive reviews. I really took on what bloggers had to say about a product before I purchased it, and I wanted to give that back.

 

Who was the blogger that most inspired you to start your own?

The blogger that most inspired me was Hollie Wakeham – a youtube beauty guru. Not only is she beautiful she does amazing makeup tutorials and gives her honest opinion with products.  

 

Who's blogs do you check out most often?

The main blogs I check daily are Zoellas, Sprinkleofglitter, Hollie Wakeham and Haileys Beauty World. But, I always use the #bbloggers hash tag to check out other peoples blogs and follow them.

 

What are you favourite types of blogposts/videos to watch?

Hauls, Beauty Reviews, How to demo’s, makeup tutorials, fashion outfits, bargain buys!

 

Do you prefer watching youtube videos or reading blogposts?

I prefer reading blog posts, purely because this is something I can easily do on my lunch break at work. In the evenings, I do like to watch youtube videos as I feel it’s easier to see someone’s honest opinion of a product. Sometimes its hard to express it correctly in a blog post.

 

What's in your handbag at the moment?

My purse, various vouchers because of the lead up to Christmas, a miniature dry shampoo and brush, tissues, hand sanitizer, a small makeup bag, my keys, my diary, painkillers and some vitamin C tablets! (yes my bag is like a chemist at the moment... got to love the winter cold’s!)

 

What's your favourite hair product?

Dry shampoo has to be my saviour. This is because my hair is so flat and thin it’s so hard to get any volume out of it. So I like to use dry shampoo to really mattify my hair which makes it easier to plump up and backcomb to add volume, without getting the stickiness from hairspray.

 

What's your favourite lip product for Winter?

At the moment I am wearing my EOS lipblam in honeydew. I LOVE this, it’s so moisturising without being oily or too thick. Perfect for winter. I am also liking the highly rated Maybelline babylips balms. These are great for adding a pop of colour but also protecting your lips.

 

How many times a week do you try to blog?

I try to blog at least once a week. I am upping that at the moment, it’s just been so hard for me to fit it in because I work full time and study part time and also, of course, have a social life and family to see! However, recently blogging has become a big part of my life. I want to fit more time in to actually posting as I really enjoy doing it and socialising with other bloggers.
