What do you think it means to be classy?
Being put together. When you're walking around looking like you got in at 4am and just rolled out of bed without even a thought to what you're wearing. There is at least one day a week where I look like this but it's important to look after decent!

Who are some of your role models?
My whole family. They are people that I definitely look up too. And Beyonce.. e'rybody needs a bit of Bey in their life.

Who are some of your style icons?

It's hard one as they are all such mixed styles! Victoria Beckham is definitely in there, Cara Delevingne, Jennifer Lawrence (love her), Michelle Kegan, Keira Knightly, Olivia Palermo and just 90% of everything that comes out of Chanel.

Pearls or bows?

Pearls, I like bows in some cases but Pearls are classier! 

Who/what inspires you?

My family inspires me to be a better person and just day to day life inspires me to do great things!

What is your favourite colour?

Navy blue. Random but its pretty!

Do you like the classy style? What are some of your favourite pieces/trends of the fashion style?

Like i said before, I think that 90% of what comes out of Chanel is classy. Just all of the fabric and the cuts on the pieces are stunning and all of the styles are so timeless.

What are some of your favourite quotes?

If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door.

Mary Kay Ash

The only time you should look back is to see how far you've come.

Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.
Marilyn Monroe 

Why is it important to have class?
It's important because you're a lady. Women shouldn't be showing their dignity whilst passed out drunk at 3am.. No offence but its not classy! We've all been there once but I very quickly regretted it and it hasn't happened again!! 

When/Why did you start your blog?
I started my blog in Feb 2014 so only 7 months ago and I started it because I love having a place to escape and share all of my interested with people who feel the same.

Now its time for the lovely ladies below to do it!

August Faves '14

 

Wow, I must not be the only one that is shocked about how quickly this year is going. The next few months are exciting for me as I always always always plan loads of things when Autumn and Winter come round, I'm not into all this hibernation stuff over winter.
In all fairness, I think I have brought a total of 3 new beauty items (yay to me, super saver) so this post pretty much consists of them and other older good stuff. Knowing me, once November and December hits, i'll be walking around like i'm ballin' because I determined to save for treats in the Christmas months!

I'd just like to put a little side note in that I realised recently that I did quite a few reviews in August and once I read back through them, I realised that I sounded so unbelievably BORING so I apologize for that and I (hopefully) wont be sounding like that again!

On to the faves. I purchased the Urban Decay Naked Flushed Palette in Streak a few weeks a go on a random spontaneous 'I need a treat' moment and I was excited because this was my first Urban Decay product. This certainly did not disappoint and I've taken it everywhere with me like a little nuggly or a comfort blanket because I just never want to let it go and I want all of them now. The texture on all of the powders is so soft and blendable, it's hard not to out down as it's that nice to use. I did a long review on it here if you wanted to check that out.
I haven't been using the Real Techniques Powder Brush with this palette but as we were talking powders, it was a good subject to follow on with. I really love all of my Real Techniques brushes, I want them to come out with more eye brushes to expand my collection but my favourite one this month has to be this powder brush. Its just one of those brushes that you'll happily just sit there, brushing it across your face just because its so damn soft! I love the density of it, I think its great to push your all over face powder on your skin and because of the size of the head, it gives a great even coverage over the skin too. 

The two lippies I have hanging in those photos are from the Maybeline Color Sensational line. I cannot tell you how much I love these lipsticks! I really love the packaging of them, when the light hits it them you can see how pretty they really are and because they are square they are easier to store all next to each other. I got these two colours over the warmer weather as they are such good soft summer shades so they were really easy and comfortable to wear. Not only all of those good things but either Boots or Superdrug always have them on deals at alternate times so I I always end up picking up a couple on a deal.

I really love doing eye looks and of course, no eye look is complete without a set of fierce lashes and that's where the Revlon Precision Dark Lash Adhesive comes in. I cannot tell you how much I hate the glue that comes with the eylure lashes, it's just white which never fully dries clear and goes gloopy! The reason why I love black eye lash glue is because when I was using clear, I would end up having to go over it to fill in the small gaps or to cover the glue but where as with the black glue, it's not needed as it does the trick for you! Genius..

As were on the subject of eye liner, I'll mention that little Rimmel pot you can see in there. That is the Rimmel London Scandaleyes Waterproof Gel Eye Liner in Black and I've been completely converted to gel over liquid! I explained all of that in my review which you can read here, although that opinion has slightly changed. I know what your thinking... Erm this is a favourites post and you're about to say how you dislike something... Well technically I'm telling you that gel liner is now my favourite, this Rimmel one is so intense on my eyes that it's scary! Like seriously, that stuff will not budge and I'm scared that makes it to too harsh on my eyes. I'll have to get some of that They're Real remover to get it off! 
Last but of course not least we have the Rimmel London Wonderfull Macara. I love love love this stuff. The difference it has made to my lashes is so crazy, I'll have to buy it again. I find that I can't fault this product. The brush head is perfect for separation but making your lashes look fuller, the product itself has been pleasant to use with no fall out and it holds a curl! I did a whole review in how I basically think it's there tits and you can see that here!
