Blogger Love TAG ♡


I have been reading different blogs for about 3 years now and actually started my own blog about 2 and a half years ago, soooo I thought that it would be a good idea to do this tag! so here it goes...

What was the first blog you ever came across?
The first blog that I ever came across.. hmmm.. I'm not entirely sure which one was the very first one however I do remember SheWearsFashion being one of the first blogs that I started reading, I can remember thinking how cool she was and still is. All the outfits that she puts together are pretty damn cool and she has a lovely personality as well which is an added bonus. 

Favourite beauty blog reads:
Beautiful Solutions
Beauty And The Button
A B i t G r a c e f u l.
Chelle's Beauty Blog
(Just to name a few) 

Best blogging friend
I haven't really made any friends through blogging as yet, would love to meet some knew blogger friends though! I do however have real life blogger friends who you guys should follow: RazMaTaz-Girl and Vogue & Trends!

Name a blog that enables your purchases
This is a really difficult Q to answer because I read so many different beauty blogs before buying a product so I don't think that there is a specific blog it depends on the products that I'm thinking about buying. I also find that beauty gurus on YouTube always have me wanting to buy something new.

Five blogs that everyone should be reading! had to a limit on this :( 
SheWearsFashion
I Dress Myslef
Vogue and Trends
RazMaTaz Girl
Bonjour Girl

Your favourite way to read blogs
My favourite way to read blogs is just on the go through bloglovin app, its super easy to read your favourite bloggers blog posts! 

Bloggers that inspire you
She Wears Fashion & I Dress Myslef erghhhh they're just flawless, that's all I can say.

Favourite blog design/look
I absolutely love really simple but chic looking blogs like the Miss Guided blog and The Trendy Chick blog.

What is you favourite thing about blogging?
My favourite thing about blogging is that I get the just chance to be a bit creative on here... Being a English Literature, Psychology, Philosophy & Business studies A-Level student means that they creative side of my personality can sometimes be over shadowed (for lack of a better term) I guess blogging allows me to be creative in different type of way.

Name a blogger that you would most like to see write a book in the future!
Definitely Kavita from SheWearsFashion! She has been blogging for years now which means that she would be able to share lots of stories about here blogging career. Also, she has been travelling a whole lot lately and I think it would be really interesting to have her take on the different places that she has been.

TAG: Cofessions of a Beauty Blogger

Source: missbeccabeauty.blogspot.co.uk
 
 
I saw this tag on sineaddreamingagain's blog and I immediately felt like I needed to this tag, it seemed like fun. Soooo here it goes!
 
1. How many hours a week do you spend writing/ editing posts?
Well.. I just started my first year of A-Levels and the work load has been really intense so not as much hours go into blogging as I would like it to but I would say that 2-3 hours maximum, on a weekend when I have free time.
 
2. Are you a spender or saver?
If I'm being completely honest with myself here, I am definitely a spender whenever I have money I always feel the need to spend it immediately even its something that I don't really want which is really bad, it's something I'm working on though.
 
3. When is it easier for you to blog?
Definitely on a weekend or during school holidays because I'm free of work.
 
4. What makes writing behind a computer comfortable for you?
I really enjoy the fact that you don't really have to worry too much about what you like whilst behind a computer and you can literally be where ever and blog which is really cool.
 
5. What is your worst makeup/ hair habit?
My worst hair habit is that I never brush my hair often enough and I always end up with so many knots underneath my hair it's unreal. And for makeup I can't think of any right now but I'm sure there must be something.
 
6. What is one quote you wish the world lived by?
Probably "Don't hate what you don't understand"- John Lennon. I think that quote applies to so many different situations in life and different people. I think if people actually tried to understand different motives, we wouldn't be so judgemental of other people's actions.
 
7. How long do you spend getting ready everyday?
Not too long I don't think, about an hour and a half maybe.
 
8. Who's your favourite blogger?
My favourite blogger is Kavita (She Wears Fashion) I think that all the outfits she puts together are so edgy and cool and not to mention she's so beautiful and I couldn't possibly pick a favourite Beauty blogger because there's too many.
 
9. Who is a blogger that you think deserves more subscribers than they have?
  http://liveloveinspirefashion.blogspot.com/, she posts really cool outfit ideas and seems like I really nice person! and you should subscribe to her blog.
 
10. What is one thing that you are excited about in the upcoming year?
I excited about getting my driver's licence and actually driving and just all the new experiences that I am going to experience that I don't know about yet.
 
11. What is your most awkward blogging moment?
I don't think I really have one but I'm bound to have one at some point in the future. haha
 
12.How long does it take you to prepare a post?
It usually takes me an hour and half to prepare a post depending on what type of post it is though because if it's a tag like this one it doesn't take me too long as I just answer them as I go along without any plan, which I'm sure you can tell at this point. I feel like tags are more authentic if their not prepared.
 
13. Are you wearing trousers right now or jogging pants/ PJ bottoms?
I'm wearing comfy jogging pants right now and I don't even feel bad about it.
 
14. What are you most proud of in life?
Wow.. this is an intense question. Probably getting the grades that I needed to do my A-Levels. :))
 
I hope you guys somewhat enjoyed reading my "confessions". Some of them I did find hard to answer but I hope it wasn't all that bad.

What's In My Makeup Bag/ Daily Makeup Look

Hey Bloggers,

I decided to do a What's In My Makeup Bag/ Daily Makeup Look post because I enjoy reading other people posts on this and find it very interesting. What I carry in my makeup bag are kind of the products that I would use from Monday to Friday to school, very natural and simple.

 
Face
 
On my face I first apply my NC45 MAC studio sculpt foundation mixed with LancĂ´me foundation in the shade 10/11 not entirely sure because it is a sample. The mixture of these two foundations gives me full coverage and the correct shade. The MAC foundation also has SPF 15 which means its also great if the sun is out which is very rare. After I have applied my foundation evenly I conceal/ highlight with my MAC studio finish concealer in the shade NC42 underneath my eyes, thereafter I contour my cheek bones with Bourjois bronzing powder in 14- Olive which it great product to contour with if you have my skin tone.
 
 
Cheek
 
For my cheeks I don't really wear blush on a daily basis but I do sometimes add a bit of the baked bronzer/highlight from accessorize in Bondi shade 4 just at the top of my cheek bones after I have contoured.
 
Eyes
 
On my eyes I wear MAC's paint pot in the shade "Quite Natural" which is like "Painterly" but for darker skinned girls, I highly recommend this product. It acts as a primer as well as base for my eyeshadow and lasts literally the whole day. Over the top of that I put Bourjois bronzy/gold natural eyeshadow all over my lid and little bit dragged up to my brow. After I have done that I sometimes opt to wear a bit of liquid liner depends on the amount of time I have in the morning really, I then curl my eyelashes and apply Rimmel's  intense black sexy curves mascara just to make me look more awake.
 
Lips
 
Usually for my lips I wear any lip balm that is within my reach and I'm really loving the Nivea ones at the moment if I feel like need a bit of change I will wear a nude lipstick, a new one that I'm loving that I got recently is a nude lipstick by SEVENTEEN in the shade Bon Bon it also has red undertones to it so it would pretty much look good on anyone.
 
Brushes
 
 
In terms of the brushes that I use on a daily basis is the Real Techniques Stippling brush by Samantha Chapman, one of the Pixiwoo sisters which I'm sure many of you beauty bloggers will be familiar with. I use this brush to apply my foundation with and never fails to give a flawless finish. Next brush is a Body Collection powder/ blush brush which I use to blend the bronzer in with as well the highlight so that there aren't any harsh lines. For my eyeshadow I use the MAC 252 shader brush this brush works amazing to pack on eyeshadow with and blend it all in without it being a fluffy brush. And lastly a densely packed eyeshadow brush from Body Collection which I sometimes use to add a light eyeshadow to the inner corners of my eyes to brighten up tired eyes.
 
 
 I do sometimes carry these products with me if I need any touch ups which is very rare because all these products have great staying power. In a hurry I just carry my MAC studio fix pressed powder in the shade NC45 and that usually is all I need throughout the day. As you can probably see my daily makeup look is very natural and probably sounds a lot more time consuming than it actually is but now that it is summer and I am on holiday I can be a bit more adventurous with my makeup looks and be a lot more experimental with different products. I hope everyone is having a lovely summer so far!

Tumblr #2

Hey.... Its feels so weird being on here after such a long time and I have missed it so much because I do find blogging very therapeutic and always feel great after I have clicked the publish button. The goods news is that I have officially finished all of my GCSE exams yesterday so Lucille is back in full effect! Woop Woop! and there is no bad news because that just blows.

Taking Time Out

Hey, so a few days ago my brother I decided to take little stroll not to far from where we live, why I didn't choose to upload this post earlier? Have no idea (lots of things going on) the sun was out and we don't really see much of it so we thought we should make the most of it! So here are some of the pics that I took along the way. Believe it or not if you take the whole fashion and beauty aspect away I'm quite the nature lover but hate camping (strange). I forgot how beautiful it all is being cooped up in my room from day to day. Its so important to just go out and get fresh air, I'm not going lie I was getting a little depressed without the sun but the weather does seem to be looking up which just makes me all the more excited for the very long summer coming up! YAY!



 
 I would love to hear if any of you are going on any cool summer holidays anywhere or even if you have any interesting summer plans, please feel free to leave any comments or requests. :)
 
Lucille

Tag: Would you rather- beauty edition

So... I am coming at you with a Tag! I thought this tag would be particularly interesting after reading some of the questions, even though some of the questions are pretty much impossible to answer. I'll try my best.

1. Would you rather lose all of your mascaras, eyeliners, lipsticks, and lipglosses or lose all of your palettes and eyeshadows?
I think I would rather lose all my palettes and eyeshadows one of the reasons being because I don't really own that many and I can do without doing my eyes. I'm much more of a lip colour kinda girl.

2. Would you rather chop off all your hair or never be able to cut it again?
Well...I do love my long hair, so I think I would rather never be able to cut it again and I could always just wear it up all the time which I don't really mind that much because that will just enable me to do really cool different hairstyles and I do think that my hair will get to a certain length and just stop growing.

3. Would you rather have a coral cheek or a pink cheek?
I probably would rather have a pink cheek only because I feel like you have to be a certain skin tone to be able to wear coral, people who are of a pale complexion usually look really gorgeous with coral cheeks. I think pink cheeks would compliment my skin tone a bit better depending on the shade of pink as well.

4. If you had £1000 to spend, would you rather buy clothes or makeup?
Ooooooh difficult question...Even though I absolutely love makeup I would rather spend the money on clothes because makeup does expire and buying makeup for that amount of money means that you have to use it all up within a certain amount of time its usually 6 months, correct me if I'm wrong? and anyway I always feel as if I don't have enough clothes so yeah... definitely clothes!

5. Would you rather apply lipstick as eyeliner, or eyeliner as lipstick?
Oh my goodness.. they both sound as bad as each other. I think I would rather use eyeliner as lipstick because the thought of using lipstick as eyeliner just doesn't feel or sound right.

6. Would you rather only shop at MAC or Sephora?
I can't really make a fair judgement on this one because I have never used any Sephora products. I do wish there was a Sephora where I live but unfortunately there is not and it doesn't help when people who do have a Sephora near them have such amazing reviews on the makeup. BUT I do love my beloved MAC products (favourite brand of makeup) so I would rather only shop at MAC as far as I know.

7. Would you rather only use one eyeshadow colour or one lip color for the rest of your life?
I would rather only use one eyeshadow colour because I do tend to go quite neutral with my eyes and I think I would prefer to change up my lip colour rather than my eyeshadow colour.

8. Would you rather wear winter clothes in summer or summer clothes in winter?I mean.. what even is this question? because either way you are screwed. I'm just going to answer this question based on the weather where I live and say that I would rather wear winter clothes in the summer because some days in the summer tend to be cold but if I chose to go with the summer clothes in winter option I would literally freeze to death and to be quite honest I'm only 16 years of age, too young to die.

 9. Would you rather have dark nails or bright nails all year round?
I would definitely rather have bright nails all year round only because I think that nail colour is one thing that you don't really have to bother too much about going through the different seasons and because I think that bright/lighter colours suit me better.

10. Would you rather give up your favorite lip product or your favorite eye product?
Would rather give up favourite lip product because I don't really have one, it changes all the time. My favourite eye product is my paint pot by MAC and I absolutley love that and would be really difficult for me to give that up!

11. Would you rather only be able to wear your hair in a ponytail or a messy bun?
Definitely a messy bun type of girl!

12. Would your rather never be able to paint your nails again or never use lipgloss?
I would rather never be able to use lipgloss. If you have read my post on the "Avon Nail Varnishes" you would know that I could never be able to live without painted nails that just wouldn't be Lucille Chetty.

13. Would you rather shave your eyebrows and have none at all or sharpie them in everyday?OMG. I know its absolutely ridiculous but I think that I would sharpie them on everyday, I don't really care about how much of an idiot I would look all I know is that it would look a lot better than not having any eyebrows at all. (eyebrows are really important to me).

14. Would you rather live without makeup or nail polish?
NO. worst question! I would probably choose to live without nail polish. I love makeup too much to live without it and anyway I think I need makeup more than I need nail polish.

Hope you enjoyed this tag, let me know if there are any others that you would like me to do and lastly if you have tried both, MAC and Sephora products which brand of makeup do you prefer? If you could let me know in the comments that will be cool, I would love to hear?

Avon Nail Varnishes!

Wow, feels like I have not been on here in years! But I do feel like I am back on track now even though I still have so much going on with school, I think I should make time for my blog!
I have recently bought few products from the Avon catalogue which I was quite hesitant about because I have never bought anything from Avon before so I didn't really know what to expect but also really excited to try new products. I'm always up for trying new products as long as its not foundation. I did get a few skincare stuff that I haven't tried yet but I was particularly impressed with their "30 second speed dry nail varnishes".

I got four in the shades Ballerina, Suddenly Sunny, Vamp it and Sprightly Mint (left to right)  that is one thing that always attracts me to products, the name. I thought that these would be great for S/S13 and if you know me well enough you would know that theres nothing I hate more than un-painted nails. I feel like having painted nails is like wearing an accessory. I have tried all of these on my nails and I love them all, they all do what they say and dry in 30 seconds, one of the reasons why they dry so quick is because the consistancy of it is quite weak which is not much of a problem because you can always add more coats according to how you like it. Can not wait to wear these this coming months and I will definitely buy more products from Avon they sell amazing products at such good prices.Definitely recommed having a look at the catalogue!


Let me know which one is your favourite in the comments!?

Celine Luggage Tote Vs Cambridge Satchel


Not going to lie I have been kinda slacking with my blog lately which is not something that I am proud of but I do have a perfectly valid excuse: I have been doing a lot of revising of late because I am in my final year GCSE's, and my exams are not too far away which makes me want to cry just typing it.

BUT, forget the slightly depressing part of my life; lets all take time to admire the these two gorgeous creations the Celine Luggage Tote Vs Cambridge Satchel two items that are definitely on my wish list, even though the price is SO of my budget. A girl can dream right?











I don't think that these two bags have ever been compared to each other because they are completely different to one another. The Celine Luggage Tote looks very chic and not very practical in other words it would need to be well taken care of especially considering the price which is $2,000 for the solid colour which could go up to at least $3,400 according to size. The bag comes in four different sizes, nano, micro, mini and phantom and after watching a fair amount of YouTube videos on reviews for these beauties it was all positive. A lot of the YouTubers said that they manage to fit quite a bit of stuff in there such as a laptop, Ipad, a book, purse and a phone all in at once this obviously goes for the phantom but for the smaller sizes you would want to be a more cautious with the weight of the items that you put in the bag because the wear and tear of the bag will not last very long. Overall, the Celine bag is definitely something that I would like to purchase when I have finances (LOL). My attraction for this bag definitely came from the Kardashian/Jenner Klan, I think even baby Penelope has a miniture version of it.

The Cambridge Satchel is so "London" and I am so obsessed with London fashion which is what attracts me to this bag even more. I was first introduced to this bag by the google chrome advert on TV. If you live in the UK you might know what I'm talking about if not just YouTube "Google Chrome Cambridge Satchel advert" and it should come up. When I saw the ad I was instantly attracted to the bag, let alone the actual story about how it all began and being a Fashion Blogger I found it really inspiring. After all the reviwes that I watched a lot of the vloggers said that the Cambridge Satchel is a very structured bag, one of the reasons being that the bag is made from real strong leather which I guess is a good thing because you know that it will last you a long time and the bag won't really lose it's original shape which is what I think attracts people to the bag in the first place. For some this might be a bit of a hassle if you are someone like me who just throws in whatever you need for the day and you are out the door.


As for me I don't really know which is my favourite, haven't made my mind up just yet but I would love to hear what's your personal favourite or you can just tell me about your all time favourite bag so make sure you comment below!

hope you enjoyed!

London, Milan and New York Street Style!

London, Milan and New York! three places that I would love to go to some day solely because they are some of the biggest fashion capitals in the world. Being able to surround yourself with people who share the same passion for fashion as you do in a gorgeous city, sounds like paradise to me!

LONDON TOWN

London being one of the fashion capitals that have so many different cultures, I definitely believe that it has influenced British fashion in incorporating the different cultures in the artistry of fashion and will probably continue for many years to come. Street Style in particular has been influenced the most because the people of different cultures themselves are allowed to create an outfit including all their own cultural elements. I noticed that London fashion is a lot more grimy and grungy, there is just something alot more raw about British fashion compared to the other cities which is something I love.

In the streets of London she is sporting leather jacket, black pleated mini, black tights, black patent heels and a gorgeous satchel, so perfect for London weather.




This outfit is a lot more casual and still perfect for London weather. Shes wearing a black leather jacket (so versatile, something I need to invest in), plain white T-shirt, beige maxi skirt paired with a statement necklace, can't go wrong with a statement necklace.


MILAN

Milan, Italy holds some of the biggest and well known brands such as Valentino, Versace, Gucci, Armani, Dolce & Gabbana. The city hosts Milan Fashion Week twice a year and the Street Style does not disappoint! My favourite time to look at their Street Style is during Milan Fashion Week because that is when you see all the really trendy models going to their next runway and some well renowned fashionista's taking front seats eagerly waiting to see new collections from amazing designers. I noticed that they always pair statement but simple items together and it always looks super chic!
She's wearing a over sized dark green long coat, boyfriend jeans and black suede high heeled booties. Simple yet Stylish.

This is one of my favourites! I love how both of them look so trendy walking beside each other but she looks particularly stunning. This outfit is so street, casual and edgy all at the same time!


NEW YORK CITY

New York City, somewhere I dreamt of going ever since a was a really young girl and the fashion there is just unreal. New York is the core of fashion I like to think because that's where one of the major Fashion Weeks take place and different creative designers put together a fashion show introducing the new upcoming season trends with some of the A-List celebs in the front row which is very exciting. New York is a fast paced city which is something I love because I enjoy being busy and I don't particularly like having a lot of time on my hands.
I love how simple this outfit is but it looks so fashionable at the same time, all shes wearing is a cowgirl denim shirt, plain black tights and those masculine shoes just to tie it all in and the hair suits her so well.
  

This outfit is so casual but well put together I really admire people who take time to create their outfits. I love her jeans, it has the washed out effect, panda grey shirt, over-sized brown fury coat and the boots are so rough and tumble #loveit

Be Brave!

This post is kind of different to my usual but I thought it would be nice to share with you some of the things that I have gone through in my life that I can be proud of. Over the past three years I have learnt so much about myself and about life (deep I know). I always try to get all the positive out of every experience that I go through but this was not not always my frame of mind. About three years ago I moved to a small island called Guernsey not a lot of people have of it. Moving school is never a good thing especially when you have made your friends (main reason) and are just used to your normal routine I think I was always afraid of change because I'm kind of a control freak and I like knowing whats going on in my life and there was just something about moving that was the unknown, not knowing where you going to live, not knowing which school you are going to, not knowing whether you are going to make friends or not. It was just the matter of "only time will tell". You would think that moving around so much I would get used to it but NO each time was just as bad as the last.

However, it just didn't compare, moving around in South Africa was okay I guess because you still are in your own country but moving to a different country just seemed scarier let alone an island. Now when I sit back and think about it, the worry was all for nothing because I got the chance live on an amazing island which is something an ordinary person my age from South Africa would never get to experience and I have met some amazing people (friends that I would want to keep for life).

South Africa, Home.
 I have just moved recently, last year September to another island called Jersey (last move until I choose) about 10 min's away from Guernsey by plane. And I had the exact same feelings that I had the last time because I am human and no matter how many times I move I'm always going to be afraid of the unknown and I think everyone is, that is just how life works, that is just how my life was meant to plan out and I wouldn't have it any other way because if all of it did not happen I would not be the person I am today it has also allowed me to meet my amazing new friend Amber, someone that I have learnt so much from, she is probably one of the most genuine people you'll ever meet which I think is very rare to find now days. Even though this year would probably go down as one of my toughest years having to move in my final year of GCSE's it has made me realise that I'm so much more stronger than I thought I was .

I just feel really lucky and grateful for all that I have experienced whether it be good or bad because I have learnt so much from it. So basically the message is Be Brave! because if I can get through anything, so can you!

(enough cheese in one day I think)

Fashion Blogger Tag!

1. What's your favourite fashion accessory?
My Rose Gold watch has been my favourite go to accessory because it goes with everything and I love the fact that its so big and chunky on me almost like a males watch its just a shame that its not Marc Jacobs or Micheal Kors.

2.Who's your fashion Role Model?
Rihanna has to be my fashion rold model I love that she is daring and not afraid to take a fashion risk, she always mixes edge with her cool street vibe and she manages to pull of everything she wears as well as her cool new hairstyles. LOOOOOVE HER!

3. What do you always carry with you?
I always carry my phone with me where ever I go. I feel lost without it!

4. How would you describe your style?
Questions like this I always find it hard to answer because I am still young so as I grow older so does my style and I go through so many different phases but for right now I would say that its "Simplistic with a bit of edge".

5. What's your favourite? Jeans, Sunglasses or Heels?
My floral framed sunglasses are definitely my fav! especially in the Summer when the sun is out (obviously).
Can't wait to whip these out this Summer or even for Spring. They make me feel very girly. This Summer I think I will pair this with a cropped top, maxi skirt, gladiator sandals and gold jewellry to pull the whole outfit together.

6. What inspired you to blog about fashion?
Well.. I always kinda grew up around clothes and makeup because I would see my older sister and mum dress up and put makeup on so in my younger years I wanted to be just like them, but I would say about three years ago when I moved abroad I became more interested in clothing and the styling of them. Recently I thought it would be a great idea to document my thoughts and feelings about fashion and beauty which is why I created this blog. So I would say my inspiration came from being exposed to another world of fashion and not from anything in particular.

7. What is your favourite fashion store?
My favourite high street fashion store will have to be Topshop because they sell good quality, fashionable clothes and they have recently just opened up in South Africa, America and several other countries which I think is great! If I could shop at a higher end store my favourite would definitely be Givenchy... I mean do I even have to say anymore the name just speaks for itself.

8. What is your favourite fabric in clothing?
I love denim only because I think that it is so easy to wear and denim is a fabric that never goes out of style. And any other fabric that has some sort of  intricate art work detailing whenever I buy items of clothing I always look at the detailing first because thats whats most important to me when buying clothes.

9. Who are your favourite designers?
My favourite designers are Hubert de Givenchy, Roberto Cavalli and Cristobal Balenciaga.

10. Who or what inspires your style?
The main things that influence the way that I dress is Tumblr, Vogue, People that I have met and things that I come across in my daily life that I can get ideas from and that inspires me.

11. Would you choose to buy something high quality or make it yourself if you could?
I would probably buy something high quality than make it because you could always take it back if you didn't like it where as if you made it yourself you wouldn't be able to do that besides that I don't think that I would be very good at crafting something of good quality.

Hope you enjoyed!
