First of all I have to apologise myself in front of all the amazing girls who nominated me for all these amazing awards that  go on on this platform.

They mean a lot to me and they give me the energy to go on with my little blog!

Thank you again Susanne The Dead Game- for the nomination to The Dragon’s Loyalty Award.

For The BEAUTY BLOGGER of the Month AWARD I was nominated by the lovely Tina from Tina Bytes and this award was created by the lovely Cecilia from Cecilia’s Corner who was the one to nominate me first. This is my most recent nomination so I decided to do this one.

Feel free to head to these lovely ladies blogs and search for rules and instructions, if you feel like doing any award.

The BEAUTY BLOGGER of the Month AWARD came with two winning prizes. The last day for entering the winning competition was yesterday, so I apologise for that inconvenient too. Consider this post your prize, if you like!

Participating in this award is easy and fun! Here are the rules:

1. You have been nominated and notified on one of your blog post! Recognise the nominator and give her some love back too.

2. Write a blog post with an image of the award above and answer 7 beauty related questions I have provided below. You can also customize the questions if you want to be more creative!

3. Don’t forget to link back to this page on your post and nominate 7 other awesome bloggers to receive next month’s Beauty Blogger award. Let them know that they’ve been nominated by commenting under one of their posts and provide a link of THIS ORIGINAL POST on the comment too to let them know about the rules and the giveaway!

4. After you’ve published your post, comment below this post that you have been nominated. All nominees should drop by and comment too as a way of letting me know you’ve entered. I will check all entries for the Beauty Blogger posts on their page.

The 7 beauty questions are:

1. Where does your makeup inspiration come from?

Mostly blogs, YouTube videos, and magazines.

2. What are 3 of your makeup Holy Grail products you cannot live without?

Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation ( reviewed here )

Chanel Le Volume de Chanel Mascara

By Terry Hyaluronic-Hydra Powder ( reviewed here )

3. What is your makeup signature look which you have on most of the time?

The no-makeup look is my go-to look.

4. Let us know your favorite makeup brands?

Tom Ford, Dior, Guerlain, Chanel, By Terry, Burberry, Hourglass…

5. Your ultimate makeup pet peeve?

I hate foundations that do not match the rest of the skin and orange self-tanners!

6. You’ve heard about all the hype on this makeup item, bought it, tried it and don’t understand what all the fuss is about…Name that product!

The Caudalie Beauty Elixir! It has volatile oils and alcohol which will manage to irritate your skin no matter how healthy it is! And it smells horrendous too!

7. Concealer OR foundation ONLY for the rest of your life. Choose one and tell us the reason!

I will go for concealer since my skin is ok and I can easily go away with only using it and a bit of my By Terry Hyaluronic-Hydra Powder!

So this is it! I will nominate you all, my beautiful for this little award! But especially the lovely girls from TalkerBlogger

TheConscienceFund, SplischSplasch, avibrantday and V.

See you in August, beautiful! And Happy Summer!

xx, Annie

This is really mind blowing! I got nominated for my second Liebster Award the next week I posted my first one! O.0 And it was possible only thanks to these two beautiful girls Jacquie Navarro and Fashion by Leia, who you should absolutely check out!

Until another two gorgeous bloggers reminded me: everythingbeautyforyou and Liv from blushnglow. You know what to do, right?! Follow them too! If not you have no idea what you are missing!

But now I’m back and here I am doing this post… finally!

LIEBSTER AWARD

Tags

award, beauty, blogger, liebster

Might sound like nothing to you. But if you take a closer look “liebster” might come from the German word “liebe”, which – even if my knowledge of German language is poor, that much I know! – means love.

So why not show some love, respect and appreciation to the blogging world and the bloggers in it, right?! 😉 Let’s help promote other great blogs out there!

I was nominate by these two sweetest girls A Girl and her Soapbox and Else from Else Aesthete who passed on a list of rules to follow if you want to do this tag.

P.S.: this is a symbolic award. There is NO material prize.

Here are the rules:

1. Acknowledge the blogger who nominated you and display the award.

2. Answer eleven questions that the blogger gives you.

3. Give eleven random facts about yourself–they can be anything!

4. Nominate 11 new bloggers with 500 followers or less.

5. Let the bloggers know you nominated them.

6. Give them eleven questions to answer.

As for the eleven questions, since there were two girls tagging me I will pick half the questions from one girl ( Else is first ) and the other half from the other one:

1. If you had one piece of advice for your sixteen-year-old self, what would it be?

Stop being a tomboy, girls are the prettiest!

2. What’s your number one health and beauty tip?

Eat healthy, drink water and exercise.

3. If you were going to live in Antarctica, what are the five things you would bring with you?

Nothing in this world, or any other world, could make me live in Antarctica. I refuse even to think about such scenario.

4. What do you think is the most pressing issue for humanity?

It has to be the global warming and everything that comes with it.

5. Do you think that everything happens for a reason?

Absolutely!

6. What is your favourite hair treatment?

Anything with coconut oil in it ( read post )

7. What is the most unflattering lipstick shade on you?

Corals look scary on me. Such a shame though! I pretty much love the colour!

8. Have you ever met any celebrities?

Yes, quite a few during last years.

9. Do you prefer baths or showers?

Baths, absolutely! ( read about my bath routine here and here )

10. What was the last thing you ate?

Some almonds…

11. What is your favourite chip flavour?

“Was”… I quit eating snacks… *stay strong self, stay strong!*

The  eleven random facts about myself:

1. I’m short but tenacious and I like tall men

2.  I workout 5 days a week for almost 2 hours straight

3. I have an old dog. ahh! my old hag…

4. I have a bucket list

5. I would love to have curly hair

6. I have expensive tastes
