I've been nominated for the Liebster Award!

Monday, August 11, 2014

Thanks so much to Hannah for nominating me! Check out her fabulous beauty blog :)
So basically this is an award given to blogs with less than 200 followers. You come up with 11 facts about yourself, answer the 11 questions the person before you posted, and tag eleven others and then come up with 11 other questions for the people you nominated. Then, link back to the person who nominated you! Sounds complicated? Don't worry it's actually really simple :)

11 Facts About Me

1. I'm Chinese, born in Beijing, and moved to Canada when I was 3. Or 2, idk actually.

2. I'm in the International Baccalaureate (IB) program at school. Maybe you've heard of it? It's basically this really intense program that sucks your soul away. Okay, maybe I exaggerate but it's pretty hardcore.

3. I can speak Mandarin, English, and some French (I'm still learning)

4. One of my friends got me into K-pop and Korean dramas earlier this year, and even though I'm not that obsessed I got really inspired by their fashion and beauty trends. That was one of my inspirations to start blogging!

5. My other inspiration was reading blogs and watching youtubers and thinking "I want to do that too!" . And so I did.

6. One of my talents ( I guess) is playing piano. I've been playing since I was 7, and I'm about to do my RCM level 10 exam, the last level! Actually (at the time of writing this) I"m about to do my exam tomorrow! Really hope I pass, haha.

7. I want to be a fashion editor when I grow up! I've been really interested in fashion since I was really young, and I used to want to be a fashion designer, when I realized that I sucked at drawing. Then I realized there were other jobs in the industry that interested me!

8. I love bread, baked goods, and pastries. I basically have a sweet tooth, except I don't like birthday cake, cupcakes, and icing.

9. I'm an only child.

10. I love plushies and stuffed toys! I still have a bunch on my bed and I used to treat them like they were alive when I was younger. ~~I still do~~

11. I love to travel! It is my favourite thing to do, and I love taking photos when I travel too. I'll probably be posting some travel posts when I go on vacation next week :)

Phew finally done! And now here's Hannah's questions:

Hannah's Questions
Either way you have the same budget, would you rather only wear high end or only wear drugstore makeup?

I'd probably pick high-end (if this budget is enough to buy high end) because I don't wear a lot of makeup, so I'd just get a few things that I need that are good quality.
What is your beauty guilty pleasure?

I don't actually have one...
Lipliner, yes or no?

No, because it's too much of a hassle. And, I like the lip gradient look (hello K-beauty!) and lip liner doesn't really work with that, haha. Although I guess you could use the product to make the gradient look too?

When did you start your blog?

On July 11, 2014. Hey look, it's my one month blogiversary, woohoo!
What's the reason behind your blogs name?

I don't really know to be honest, me and my friend made it up for a tumblr blog we were going to make but then gave up, and I decided to re-use it.
Which one luxury product do you wish you had in your collection?

Any of the Urban Decay Naked Palettes! Or the Chanel Vitalumiere aqua foundation.
Do you think you could ever make the move to YouTube?

Maybe in the future, when my face is nice enough.
Favourite TV programme?

I don't actually watch TV to be honest... If I'm really interested in a series though I'd watch it online. BBC's Sherlock is one of my favourites, and my favourite Asian drama (if that counts as a TV programme) is Heirs.
Who was the first blogger you followed?

I've been reading Xiaxue and Cheesie's blogs before I even had anything to follow them with, haha!
Who was the last blogger you followed?
That would be this pretty makeup blog.
What was the first makeup item you ever bought?
Probably a lip smacker when I was 6 or something. Does that count as a makeup item? If not, then it would be a Lancome Juicy tubes set I made my mom get me when I was 10 or something.
