THE SECRETS OF BLOGGING | TAG!

Hey loves,

Well today is a tag post type of day. I saw this tag a while ago and had the questions saved. I don't do enough tags and wanted to do something different today.


When did you start blogging and why?
I googled a make-up product and saw Fleur's blog and thought it was something I could give a go. Since then I have learned to use my knowledge in a way I enjoy. I love writing and this is the perfect creative outlet.

How many people in real life know about your blog?
I remember at first I told nobody but I think my friends and family know I am make-up obsessed and love writing so it is a natural blend. Now I think all my friends and family know about it. It's the YouTube channel I keep more of a secret haha. 

What are your favourite posts to read?
I really enjoy hauls, reviews and looks. I enjoy seeing how people use their products to create a look for them. It's a different way of getting to know someone.

List a blog you discovered recently?
Angela Lanter and I discovered her YouTube ages ago but her blog is great for look books. I just love her and her attitude. Angela is very good at giving every detail and alternatives. I wouldn't normally be a fashion blog person but she has converted me.

Which posts are you most proud of?
Anything that's a bit personal for the reason of it being hard to write down and then publish. It might be MY blog but it's still out there on the ole interweb. In May/April I wrote a few personal posts. I also pride myself in giving a good review and not just reviewing something for the sake of it. I give products time.

Which advice would you give future bloggers?
Just be you and never let anyone tell you that you isn't enough. You learn quickly who is and who isn't a fan of your blog and a tonne of that comes from jealously so never take it to heart. It is your space so use it for you :D


Thanks for reading and let me know if you do this tag. I tag you all but I want to tag others specifically.

I TAG!!

Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms | JanBlog #20

Image
Hey guys, Well I ran out this morning to grab the new Revlon Colorburst Balms as I have seen them on every American YouTube video and blog so I needed one at least, or them all. Now they had the 'Just Bitten Kissable', 'Lacquer Balms' and 'Matte Balm' in stock, for now. They seemed to be going fast. I really didn't like any of the others and my hand was full of swatches. Sometimes I just get very focused on particular shades, like today. I have this bad habit of going for bright pinks and deep reds lately and everything I buy lip wise lately is cool toned haha. How pretty do they look? I got 'Standout' which is the deep red and 'Showy' which is the vibrant pink. Both cool toned hehe. They seem to be exclusive to Boots at the moment but are on their website, click here. They retail for £7.99 and are excluded from any offer going on at the moment. They have a wide range of colours in all versions of the balm. A...

Collection Does It All 5in1 Mascara

Image
Hey. Well the other week I saw Shaaanxo instagram a picture of her lashes using a Collection mascara. I thought wow that's pretty impressive for a product under £5. This mascara claims to curl, volumise, lengthen, condition and that it's long wearing. I can tell you now this is all true. I have been testing this for about a month now and it is seriously impressive.  I am terribly fussy with mascaras. I don't tend to like the massive wands with tonnes of bristles sticking every which way. It was very surprising to me that I love this mascara. The wand is very comparable to Maybelline 'The Rocket' and Benefit 'They're Real'. When I tried Maybelline's 'The Rocket' I was constantly poking myself in the eye or mascara would go all over my eye lid. I didn't find that it did a whole lot for my eyelashes. This beauty is £4.99 in Boots or Super Drug and sometimes they have it on offer for £4. I genuinely love this...

Wet N Wild Mega Liner

Image
Hey loves, As you may have guessed, Wet N Wild is available to buy in Ireland now. One of our supermarkets here called Dunnes Stores carries it. They booted Essence out and got Wet N Wild in. For those who are new to liquid liner or just prefer gel, try this if you can. As you can the brush is short but it isn't as pointed as some others I have seen. My issue with liquid liner is getting a grip with the brush so it's firm but still moves. I don't think for me, as a beginner, a long brush or handle is ideal. I love this product. The handle and brush make it so easy for you to have a good grip. The colour range isn't the largest but I chose turquoise for the Spring. I found two coats of this on the lid made it pop and look very different. This liner is so easy to use, I even managed to get a wing. That is a huge deal, for me anyway. For €2.99, I have to go back for more. For those in the UK looking for Wet N Wild, click here. Victoria xox
