The Versatile Blogger Award

Thank you so much Lisa for nominating me x

She has an amazing blog - http://sumptuouselixir.blogspot.co.uk/, so don't forget to go and check it out.

For the Versatile Blogger Award I have to share seven facts about me, then list my fifteen nominees.

Let's go!

1. Mostly I write blog posts in the night. Yep, wearing my pjs and about to fall asleep, however, doing some drafts for future posts. Don't know why, but the best ideas in my head come right in that time. If you're asking, yes, in the morning I do regret not sleeping. Can't normally explain how my body works!

2. I absolutely admire German and Austrian people. There is just something really special about them that caught my heart!

3. The only one magazine I read&buy is Elle. It helps me a lot when my inspiration is gone somewhere. And I think Elle is become the first magazine where I actually read articles and not only flick through pages to check out the pictures.

4. Few years ago I joined people-who-love-dark-chocolate-more-than-milk-one club. Now I can't stand eating any other kinds of chocolate. Oh and does it counts as a trait of a grown-up? Haha.

5. I love football. Well, I don't like playing it, but if someone invites to go to watch the game, I'm in!

6. Cooking and me is as me and physics. Making any amazing dishes is definitely out of my niche. However, I can make something for myself, but surely not for others. I'm too clumsy for that and scared to destroy the kitchen. Lol.

7. It took me three days to write facts about me.

Three. Freaking. Days.

I think I should introduce myself to myself.

I noticed the same thing also happens if someone asks me about my favourite films, music and etc. I totally forget about everything. Definitely MIB's job with using neuralyzers to erase my memory :D

I nominate:

Okay, there are not fifteen people. Oops. It was slightly hard for me to find that number of bloggers, even though I follow lots and lots of them on different social meadias. If you would like to take part in this award too, just leave a comment down below and I will add you to my nominees!

Thank you for visiting my blog, love you x

Are photos the most important

Are photos the most important? | Blogging Tips Part II

Part 2 of my Blogging Tips is now here! This time I decided to talk about photos and their influence on your blog. Enjoy!

I love this saying that you have to write blog you would personally enjoy to read and would definitely be somewhere among ones you are following. When you like your blog, everyone else will like it too. Same thing with body&appearance, but it's not related to this topic, so lol.

Quality and number of photos on each post is super important. Most of visitors only look through your pictures and then read some parts of the text. Therefore, you have to work on your photographing skills more or improve them in general. Believe me, if you have no clue about all cameras and photos stuff, don't be scared to give it a go! I used to be freaking pointless at "blog photos". Now I think, I'm slightly normal. Practise, practise and more practise.

Started from the bottom, now we are here

So first of all, do you need to buy the priciest camera equipment? My answer is no. Especially on early stage when it's hard to exactly say if you'll be blogging for a long time or enjoy it in general. Well, if there are superfluous money in your pocket, okay then. However in my opinion that doesn't matter as much as lighting and background. Please, avoid messy background and poor lighting. It's quite ridiculous to see such pictures on the blog.

Think about basic composition before taking photos. Add some bits and bobs to make everything a lot nicer. But don't irritate the main item or items at the same time.

For me is easier and more convinient to edit online. My favourite websites for it are www.pixlr.com and picmonkey.com. Another point is that be careful not to over edit. Too much contrast, sharpen and brightness is not a great thing! In this case, photo would appear slightly fake.

Also if you are using Bloglovin' for the blog(what you definitely should do!), choose the best photo for the very first one. That plays a massive role for people to click and read your blog post!

That is it for today! I will talk to you in two days x

Have a fun weekend :)

P.S Blogging tips written above are based on my own experience. I am not expert. As many people as many opinions, so feel free to correct me or add some more advices in the comments.

The Best of Lips

Okay, I need to agree you can be sick of me repeating how much I am obsessed with lipsticks and different lip products in general. Well, but that is another blog post related to this topic! I decided to share with you some of my all time favourite lippies, which I surely will be repurchasing billions of times after running out of them.

Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet "Nude-ist"

Oh. My. God.

If you I had to wear only one lipstick to the end of my life that would be Nude-ist. This lipstain is simply gorgeous. I can't get over how stunning the color is and how amazing it looks on me. Moreover, I recommended Nude-ist to few people and guess what? They enjoy using it as well!

One more amazing thing about Rouge Edition Velvets that they are matte but are not drying at all.

Maybelline ColorSensational Lipliner "Sweet Pink"

In a nutshell, great everyday product which makes your lips looking perfect. I have already done a review on it, which you can read here.

L'Oreal Riche Caresse "Sweet Berry"

That is my kind of holy grail lipstick. It is dark brownish nude.

Again, I feel like Sweet Berry is ideal shade for me.

You can see me wearing it in this blog post.

I appreciate the formaula Riche Caresse lipsticks have, however, there is one disadvantage. They last only for about two hours and after eating or drinking colour completely disappears too.

Maybelline ColorSensational "Lady Red"

List of the best lipsticks won't be a list without a red lipstick. Agree?

I do not rock red lips that often, but my favourite one is clearly Lady Red. The pigmentation and formula are both fascinating. Usuall I play around with it to get different needed shades. For example, by using makeup brush I get lighter red and if I'm brave enough, I just apply this lippy directly on the lips.

Maybelline Limited Edition ColorSensational High Shine Lipgloss "Coral Heat"

I am not keen on lipglosses, but this one is definitely the best I have ever purchased in my life.

It's not sticky and super shinny. In my opinion, this one is spring must-have as it has light coral color, which totally matches spring trends in general.
