As a journo-girl I’m all about asking the questions, but what I love more is answering questions, so imagine how excited I was when I was tagged to discuss my beauty secrets! Now, I know life isn’t all about make-up and cute packaging - but it is, just a little bit, right?
My Foundation: I’m such a high-street girl - I LOVE Rimmel Renew and Lift no.200 in Soft Beige - it’s a great texture and totally evens out my skin tone - hurrah for Rimmel!
My Mascara: Maybelline Intense XXL - I keep trying lots of new ones but just keep going back to this! I must also flag up Benefit Bad Gal too, I love it, but it does get a bit smudgy, whereas the Maybelline stays put all day long with no panda eyes - happy days!
My Blush: Cynthia Rowley for Avon all over pink powder just on my cheeks - super-cute packaging, super-cute prod - j’adore!
My Eye Shadow: Any Bnevertoobusytobebeautiful eyeshadow - I’m working at collecting the whole colour spectrum - this is totally my favourite brand of make-up EVER!
My Day Cream: Nivea anti-wrinkle q10 - it smells lush, is a great consistency and is always on offer at some point - yay! ‘coz it’s never too early to start preventing the wrinklage, y’know!
My Lipstick: J’adore WannaB by Bnevertoobusytobebeautiful - it stays put ALL day - it’s my signature colour and matches all my accessories - what’s not to love?!
My Beauty Product Brand: Er…if you haven’t guessed already - www.Bnevertoobusytobebeautiful.co.uk - go check out all their amazing prods and see why I LOVE them sooo much!
My Essential Beauty Product: Origins Never a Dull Moment face polish - LOVE.
My Favorite Makeup Product: YSL Touche Eclat - it’s like an angel kissing my big, black circles away - hurrah!
My Perfume: Night - Hugo Boss Red and day - Charlie Red - sub-conciously think it’s because I’m a Scorpio that I’m attracted to red-related scents!
My Nails: I love Barry M colours - I’m currently rocking 737 it’s the colour of a stick of rock - super-fun!
My Feet: Vaseline Intensive moisturiser rubbed into them every night before beddy-byes…
My Hands: Again, Vaseline Intensive hand and nail cream - cheap but so, so effective…
Three Products to bring on a deserted island: Touche Eclat, Bio oil and some sun cream - don’t want to burn!
Woman I Admire for their Beauty: Kelly Osbourne, Dita Von Teese, Gwen Stefani…
Woman with the Best Sense of Style: Audrey Hepburn - legend! Nigella, Karen O, Kelly O, Dita, Gwen
My Ultimate Dream: I’m living it right now - my life rocks! Although I wouldn’t mind a beach-side pad in San Fran, a loft apartment in NYC, sunshine on tap, endless book ideas…
My Favorite Fashion Publication: I used to LOVE Ellegirl but now read Nylon and online mag NEET
Your turn now - care to share your beauty secrets?!

My Foundation: Maybellene Matt Mousse. It covers all the lumps and bumps you really don’t wanna see - though it does clog up spots terribly, so you MUST remember to take your makeup off before you go to bed.
My Mascara: Noir by Chanel.
My Blush: None, as I am naturally rosy. (I wish I was Dita-pale like Nadia! My mam loves my rosy cheeks though. Grrr.)
My Eye Shadow: Sharkskin shadestick by MAC.
My Day Cream: Simple moisturisers or Vitamin E by Body Shop. I have super-sensitive skin!
My Lipstick: Fire by Chanel.
My Beauty Product Brand: Chanel, Urban Decay and Barry M.
My Essential Beauty Product: Vaseline. I get very dry skin/lips all year around, as well as psoriasis on my elbows, so it’s essential! i think exfoliating mitts are a must as well!
My Favorite Makeup Product: Collection 2000 eyeliner.
My Perfume: Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker.
My Nails: Barry M or Rimmel.
My Feet: Cocoa Butter from Body Shop.
My Hands: ditto.
Three Products to bring on a deserted island: Collection 2000 eyeliner, Chanel lipstick, Barry M glitter.
Woman I Admire for their Beauty: Maggie Gyllenhaal, Dita Von Teese, Gwen Stefani, Beth Ditto.
Woman with the Best Sense of Style: The above!
My Ultimate Dream: To have my own alternative radio show, playing REAL alternative music.
My Favorite Fashion Publication: FruIts and Vivi (from Japan.) I also love Nylon and Elle. I also have my collection of ElleGirls I still flip through for inspiration.
