Liebster Blog Award

 

Jen at The Tickled Glitter kindly tagged me in her Liebster Award nominations, which is very exciting since my blog is still really new. I didn't know much about the Liebster Award, but it seems like it's all about sharing and finding new blogs, which I think is a great.

The rules:

1. You must link the blogger who nominated you

2. You must answer 10 questions given to you by your nominee

3. You must choose 10 bloggers to be nominated for the award (I've seen some people only tag blogs with less that 20 followers and some do less than 200, so I'll just say new or "under recognized")

4. You must then come up with 10 questions you would like your nominees to answer.

5. Once you have done this, you must go to their blogs and let them know you have nominated them

Here are my answers to Miss Jen's 10 questions...

1. What is your favorite thing about yourself? 

I'm going to answer this as a physical trait, because that's how Jen answered it (and this is a beauty blog). So, I would probably say my hair. Growing up, it was very thick, and I never knew what to do with it- it was always all over the place, but I've since learned to manage it.

2. Mani or Pedi? 

Pedi, I can't wear nail polish at my new job, and I'm very much in mourning :( 

3. What is your ultimate favorite nail polish brand? (i.e. OPI, Essie, etc.)

Can I say China Glaze for neons and OPI for neutrals? I'm also always pleasantly surprised by Colour Club's formula, but I rarely seek it out. (brb..weeping over my trough of nail polish)

4. What is your favorite accessory piece right now?

I have an ombre sequin cardholder from Banana Republic that I use daily.

5. Heels or Wedges?

*whispers under breath* flats, but I wish I could say heels. Maybe one day!
6. Lipstick or Lipgloss?

Lipstick, I spent a large part of my youth trying to make lipgloss work for me, and it just doesn't look good. I also hate the way it feels.
7. What made you decide to start blogging?

I'm always looking for reviews on products before I buy them, so I thought I'd put my two cents out there for others. Also, Skincare, makeup, etc. are things that I genuinely enjoy rambling about, so I thought this would be a good outlet for that.

8. What is your favorite shampoo/conditioner?

I switch up my shampoo a lot, right now I'm loving Living Proof's Full Shampoo. I use Macadamia Deep Repair Masque as my conditioner- it's amazing.
9. Chocolate or Vanilla or Strawberry?

Vanilla!
10. What is your favorite lip conditioner or lip balm to use?

I really love Nuxe's Reve de Miel lip balm, I think I'm going to do a review of it soon. It's a little on the pricey side but worth it for me, because a lot of products make my lips peel (gross, I know).
