Questions by Madeline:
How long have you been blogging and how do you feel about this journey?
I created my blogger account back in '07 but didn't actually start blogging about fashion and beauty until 2011 which makes this my 3rd year blogging and I hope for many more in the future. I love this journey because it's really helped my style evolve as well as just discovering more in depth the work of the fashion industry and getting to know all the lovely bloggers out there.
How did you choose your blog name?
This blog name was a random change. If you've been following me for a while now then you might know that I've changed my blog name more than a few times over the past years. I easily get bored and that's why I keep on changing them to get a fresh start.
What is the next product on your "to-buy" list?
Oh that list is way too big to list up on here lol, if I had to choose it'd the Ruby Woo lipstick by MAC and a Chanel lipstick (preferably a red one).
What is one thing you struggled with - blog related?
That spark of inspiration, there have been times where I felt not an inch of inspiration in my vains which resulted into me blogging less as I didn't feel like posting something just for the sake of it. I like to give my posts more thought and actually analyze every single sentence. Always aim for the very best.
What is your favourite thing about blogging?
All the great people I've got to know through blogging, it's a way to express myself and also my vocabulary has increased tremendously.

- Maybelline color sensational lipstick in 904 'vivid rose'

What is one makeup product that really disappointed you?
The Body Shop's tea tree exfoliating wash, review here.
Do you have any changes you want to make to your blog in the future? If so, which ones?
Yes, basically just improve my writing skills for the better and also be more social on the social web, talk to companies and all that because I'd like my blog to go far though it'll definitely take time and not just happen over night.

Which type of product do you gravitate towards the most? (lipstick, eyeshadow, blush etc.)
Red lipstick. My collection keeps on growing and even though I already own a few, I somehow ALWAYS manage to find an excuse for that one lipstick just so it goes home with me. Also nail polish, I have a lot of them and it's rare that one finds me without polish on my nails.
