Makeup Monday: My boyfriend does my makeup!!

Hello! I have a different type of post today - a tag post. It's the 'My boyfriend does my makeup' tag which, i'm sure you all know about. It's just basically where your other half does your makeup without any of your help. It's just him and your cosmetics (beware!!).  

I've been wanting Mark to do my makeup for a long time, thinking he should be pretty well up on the knowledge after putting up with me and my chattering for over two years! 

What i did was give Mark basically a huge box full of makeup with different foundations, a large selection of blusher/bronzer/highlighter etc. I did not make it easy in the slightest! I also gave him my eyeshadow palettes and all my brushes so he could whatever he wanted. I didn't help him atall (i promise). It was a funny experience watching him trying to figure out what things we're and his little concentration face when he was putting it on. 

Who wants to see the final result? *Drum Roll please......*

All in all i don't think it's too bad! I was quite surprised when i looked in the mirror. His eyeshadow and bronzer skills aren't the best in the world and we had a bit of a disaster with the mascara but apart from that he did a darn good job!!  

Products used: MAC Match Master Foundation, Nars 'Casino' Bronzer, Illamasqua Cream Blusher in 'Seduce', Avon SuperShock Mascara, MAC 'Brown Down' eyeshadow, Mac 'Twig' Lipstick. 

So what do you think? Safe to say he's listened to me drone on about makeup for two years?! 

I was awarded the.. Versatile Blog Award!

Waheyyy, so the kind Vanese from vanzthemachinee nominated me for the 'Versatile Blog Award' (which i am so pleased about). I've seen it on many blogs in the sidebar and often thought to myself 'I want oneee!' and now i finally do! So, thankyou so much Vanese for nominating me and your nice words also.

So, the rules are:

1.  Nominate 15 fellow bloggers who are relatively new to blogging. 
2.  Let them know that you have nominated them.
3.  Share 7 random facts about yourself.

5.  Add the Versatile Blogger Award picture to your blog post.

Seven random facts:

• I've collected 10 lipsticks in 5 months (probably not that many compared to other lipstick addicts - but i'm a newbie)

• My favourite colour is pink (typical, oh well!)

10. I am quite 'stingy' or 'tight' with my money - i like to make the most out of my pennies!
11. I'm a real 'home girl': jama's, tele and food! But i do like my 'wild' nights with the right people :)

The questions elefont set for me:
1. Would you rather have Messy Hair or No Make-Up? 
Messy hair! I feel much more confident with makeup on so messy hair wouldn't bother me. I'd make it work :')
2. Movies and Dinner or Night On The Town? 
Depends on my mood - 7 times out of 10 it'd be a night in, pyjama's and takeaway, but sometimes your just in that party mood! 
3. What's your most worn item? 
Probably black leggins (a staple in most peoples wardrobe) or my parka coat! I live in that coat - rain, wind and snow - it is my saviour! Honestly i can't stop wearing it.
 4. What's your favourite meal? 
Mexican - Nacho's with cheese, mild salsa and sweet chilli sauce. Then chicken enchilada's and wedges. Then chocolate brownies! Yum yum, delicious!
5. Do you prefer Lipstick or Lipgloss? 
Lipstick all the way! Never used to wear lippie until a few months ago, now i'm definitely obsessed with the stuff! My collection has started.. 
6. What are your opinions on the online Beauty Community? 
So far, everyone has been extremely supportive and nice to me which i'm so pleased about. But, there are definitely haters, especially on Youtube, i think it's mainly due to jealously and general pettiness. Overall i think the majority of the beauty community are so supportive and kind!
7. What's your most amount you've spent on a piece of make-up?
About £30-ish. Not too much. I can't justify spending too much on something that will run out soon enough.
8. Are you a Flat's type of girl or Heels? 
FLATS! It's all about the comfort. Although i think heels look so much better and if my feet didn't kill wearing them then i would, all the time!
9. The one thing you would change about yourself? (If anything)
There's a few things to be honest, as there is with anyone. Everyone has things they would like to change. There is not one single thing i would change really, why bother, noone will ever be perfect!
10. Describe your dress sense? 
Anything that i like really. I like my wardrobe to have a mix of blacks and dark pieces along with the white and neutral so i can mix and match. When buying a piece i like to think beforehand what i can wear it with - if it's not versatile i won't tend to bother unless it's amazing. So i guess my dress sense is versatile, comfortable and modern.
11. What's the one piece of advice you would give someone that was lacking in confidence? 
Find happiness within yourself, spend some time alone and don't be afraid of that. If you feel comfortable being alone then eventually you will become more confident. Think of all the good things you have and all the positive things about your life and focus on those things rather than noticing the negative. Count the reasons you are lucky. 


11 questions i set:
What do you prefer - a quiet night in or a wild night out?
If you could have any job in the world - what would it be?
