Questions & Answers

Hey everyone, hope you are all having a wonderful day.

Today I am answering your questions that I asked you to "submit" a couple of weeks ago. OF course this isn't the only Q&A that I will be writing, so if you have a question that I didn't answer, feel free to ask me in the comments or on my Instagram which is linked here.

Quick note: I've changed the font on my blog posts! Let me know what you think, I can't decide wether I like it or not!

On with the questions! :)

What are your top 3 makeup products that you could not live without?

Hmmm... that's a tough one. I would have to say concealer, powder, and mascara. If lip balm counts as a makeup product then I would replace concealer with lip balm.

What is your favorite color?

Maroon/burgundy or a light blue.

What aims do you have for your blog?

I don't really have plans for my blog at the moment, of course I'd like it to become successful, but for now I just wan't to please my readers with new and original content every week :)

Do you have any siblings?

Yes I have 1 older brother.

What is your favourite brand? Beauty and fashion x

My favorite beauty brand at the moment is probably Rimmel, I love their face products & my favorite fashion brand... hmm I'm not sure, I like the Kendall & Kylie range at Pacsun but I'm not sure if I'd count it as my favorite...

I'm looking for an intense smokey eye palette for the fall. Which one would you suggest?

This all depends on what colors you like, but I think a good, affordable, palette is one of the Wet n Wild eyeshadow palettes. They have a variation of colors and have great pigmentation!

What inspired you to start your blog? 

Honestly? I was bored haha, but that's not the only reason. I love to write and I love everything beauty related so it's the perfect combination! I also love reading beauty & lifestyle blog posts, so if that's you, let me know so I can check it out! I'm always discovering new blogs, and I'd love to find some more.

What is your favorite beauty item at the moment?

I want to say mascara but I've used that answer already haha. I painted my nails yesterday and I am IN LOVE. I usually get them done professionally, but instead I did them  my self and I'm glad I did. Maybe I'll do a blog post on my favorite nail varnishes... Anyway, I'll say that that's my favorite beauty item at the moment.

And that's all the questions I received! 

Big thanks to all of you who took the time to ask me these questions, it's an easy way for you to get to know me a bit better.

Thank you so much for reading, please let me know what blog posts you'd like to see! I reply to all comments so if you're curious about something just ask!

Stay tuned for next weeks post!

Bye!!

Mad For Favorites | September

Hi everyone, hope you are all have a great day.

Today I'm doing my first ever monthly favorites post, Mad For Favorites.

I probably won't do this every month because my favorites don't change that often but I will do it from time to time.

This may not be the most exiting post, and these aren't all beauty related, but if you want to know what I've been enjoying this month then stay tuned! :)

1. Flat Top Buffing Brush

First is this makeup brush. Let me start off by saying, I LOVE this. It's really nice quality, and blends my makeup in nice and smoothly. I use this when blending in my concealer, I buff the areas that just needs a bit of coverage, and pat all blemishes. I think that makes sense haha. I don't have expensive brushes, although I really want some, but the quality of this brush is amazing. I bought it from Target and that's all I can really say because I can't remember how much it was, sorry, I believe it was around $5.00, but don't quote me on that.

2. Shirts or Flannels

Next I've been loving wearing this flannel, or shirt however you may say it. This one is my FAVORITE because it's so comfy and casual. I like to wear this with some simple black leggings and my grey converse, or black wedged heels. Maybe I'll do an OOTD? Let me know if you'd like to see that. I bought this quite a while ago from Wet Seal, for about $20-$25.

3. Kellog's Nutri Grain

Quick disclaimer: I don't eat these because they claim to be healthy.

I recently discovered these, and they taste so amazing. If you're like me and you're too lazy to eat in the mornings before work or school, then you'll enjoy these, as long as you like apple and cinnamon of course. They're really handy just to eat in the car when you're in a rush (please don't eat and drive though haha). If you like cinnamon then these are definitely for you because the taste is quite strong. I think they're supposed to also give you a quick boost of energy? Correct me if I'm wrong.

4. Afterlight

Afterlight is an iPhone App for editing pictures and I LOVE it. It's my all time favorite editing app. I use it on all of my pictures on my personal Instagram and sometimes on my blog instagram @madforbeautyxo (If you go to my instagram from here, follow me and comment your blog name on one of my posts so I can follow you too!). If you're a fan of Kendall & Kylie Jenner then you'll like this because they use it ALOT. It's $0.99 on the Apple iTunes Store.

5. My Phone

Of course I have been loving my phone. Not much to say about that! Would you guys like to see a "What's On My iPhone" blog post? If so, please comment! I have the iPhone5s in gold, have any of you got the 6? Please excuse how dirty phone is, I hardly ever take the case off, I really need to clean it haha.

6. Beats

These use to be my brothers, but he got new ones so he gave them to me. Beats are so amazing, although I don't use them as much as I should.

 7. One Moment Perfume

Yes, I do like One Direction, but that's not the main reason why I bought this perfume. I can't describe the smell in many words but amazing. If you don't like 1D, doesn't matter. This is so worth $50. I'm interested in trying their new perfume, have you tried it? Also, the packaging is so cute!  

8. Carmex Cherry Lip Balm

I think on one of my blog posts I mentioned the original carmex lip balm, which is just as amazing as this one, but I love the cherry scent/taste of this one! It's a very moisturizing lip balm, and good at healing dry or damaged lips. I don't think they're very expensive. You can buy them in most drugstores, I think you can get them in the UK.

9. Chains

I know this is a weird thing to put on a favorites list, but I've been seriously loving chains lately! Only there's one problem.. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO WEAR THEM. I have this gorgeous one from Guess, it's a rose-gold color, and I really want to wear it. I have a couple of times but I don't know how to style my outfit with it... Love it anyway!



10. Bath & BodyWorks

And last but not least is this hand gel from bath and bodyworks. I love most of the scents, but this is my favorite at the moment. Warm Vanilla Sugar, ahhh, it makes me thing=k of warm hugs... haha. It smells amazing, and lasts for a while. It is quite strong so if you're sensitive with that sort of thing I wouldn't recommend it. My all time favorite one is the Stress Relief one, works like a charm! I don't have it at the moment unfortunately. But I highly recommend it!

And that's all I have for today!

I know this isn't the most exiting blog post, but I hope you enjoyed it!

For those of you wondering, the Q&A should be here shortly.

Thank you so much for watching, stay tuned for next week!

Bye!

Top 4 Eyeliners | Drugstore & High End

Hi everyone, hope you are all having a great day.

I'm sorry that this blog post is late, but I am pre-writing some posts so that I can always upload on time! :)

I know some of you where expecting a Q&A post but I don't have very many questions at the moment so I'd rather wait until a couple more come through, so if you'd like to know anything about go comment your question on this blog post:

 Ask Me Questions | Quick Update

Today I'm doing a Top Products post on my favorites eyeliners.

3 of these are drugstore, and the other one is high end. I have other eyeliners that I like but these are my absolute favorite.

I'm not going to ramble too much today, just going to jump straight into it!

These are the 4 eyeliners that I have been loving! Three of them are black and one of them is a flesh toned or nude color. I don't really wear brown eyeliners but if you don't like the colors I have selected then you can always try them in different colors.

1. Sephora Eyeliner

This is the only drugstore eyeliner in my favorites, and it's amazing! It's not the easiest eyeliner to apply, but I love the way it looks, it leaves almost a glossy finish. The applicator is quite thick so this isn't ideal for a thin, natural line. I know that this comes in many colors, so if black isn't for you then you have a nice selection. This was around $12 and I've had it for a very long time and it hasn't dried out or anything.

2. NYX Eye and Eyebrow Pencil

The next eyeliner I'm sharing with you is by NYX. It's a pencil eyeliner, apparently it can also be used for eyebrows, but it's a little too creamy and unnatural in my opinion! These come in loads of different shades. It's very pigmented, and glides on so smoothly. It lasts for quite a while but it will start to fade after a couple of hours. I like too use this on my waterline and tight line, and sometimes I apply it to my top lash line and smudge it out. These have a very good reputation, by that I mean great reviews. They're amazing for the price, which is $3.50!

Maybelline Master Precise

Next is another liquid eyeliner by Maybelline. Again, the shade I have it black, and I personally haven't seen any other shades, so let me know in the comments if you have. This is around $6.00, and it's definitely worth the money because it lasts for quite a long time, I have yet to finish mine. Of course I don't wear eyeliner every day but it's still going strong. The applicator isn't extremely flexible, which, in my opinion, makes it easier to apply. The brush is quite think, but again it's easy to apply meaning you can achieve a thin line. I really like this because I love eyeliners that have the product flowing through the applicator rather then having to dip the brush back in to the container every five minutes. This doesn't even dry out.

4. Rimmel ScandalEyes Waterproof Pencil Eyeliner

Last but not least, a Rimmel Eyeliner, in the shade 005 Nude. This is the first Rimmel eyeliner I've tried and I love it, obviously. It applies so smoothly and it's very pigmented. I use it on my waterline to make myself look more awake, I also use it all over my eyelid to make my eyeshadows look more pigmented. This costs around $4.00 -$5.00 and is a good size for the price.

And those are my 4 favorite eyeliners at the moment!

I really want to do a Q&A so ask me questions below, I need 5 more then I'll do it! Ask as many as you like! More information here.

Also please let me know what you're favorite eyeliners are, and also feel free to recommend some to me. 

Thank you so much for reading, I hope this was helpful for some of you!

Stay tuned for next weeks post, bye!!xx

Hey everyone, hope you are all having a great day.

This isn't actually a beauty post, just a "quick update".

If you have ANY questions about me or my blog, please leave them in the comments, ask as many as you like!

I will do the Q&A if I get 10+ questions, and if I don't I will just answer the comments individually.
