Liebster Award!

I was nominated by April over at That Girl That Likes Makeup for the Liebster Award! Thank you so much!

Basically this is an award that is given to bloggers by bloggers to introduce people to new blogs.

The rules are:

1. Link the person who nominated you
2. Answer 11 Questions given
3. Nominate 5-11 other bloggers with under 1000 followers
4. Ask them 11 questions

Here are my answers to the questions April gave!

1.How long have you been blogging for?

I've been blogging since October this year! So that's just about 2 months...

2.Whats your favourite Holiday drink?

I would say it's the Black Forest Hot Chocolate from Costa Coffee, but at home I've been drinking peppermint tea.

3.What is your must have beauty product for travelling?

If I had to pick just one, it would probably be a tinted lip balm. But I would also take something for my eyebrows just because that would really help with photos. For the actual travel (on the plane etc), a good face wash and a rejuvenating eye cream.

4.What's your favourite season?

Definitely Autumn!

5.What do you like to do in your spare time (Other than blogging)?

Read blogs! Or watch tv series. I'm currently finishing season 9 of Supernatural.

6.Biggest Pet Peeve?

In the blogging/YouTube world, it's probably when someone is so obviously sponsored and they are clearly faking how much they "love" a product. 

In real life, it's probably when people make personal comments when they don't really know you. 

7.Favourite Food?

Either pizza or noodles. Don't make me pick one!

8.Red Wine or White Wine?

Depends on what I'm eating to be honest, but if I'm not, then it's White.

9.What Fragrance are you currently loving?

Hmm... I'm currently wearing Taylor Swift Wonderstruck, but I really want DKNY MYNY. I tried it at the airport once and I loved it!

10.Favourite quote?

Everyone is hot- Estee from Essie Button

11.What inspired your blog name?

Well, I had an email address I made ages and ages ago which was dustyfoxes so I decided to just make a blog from it!

So I now nominate

Sophie from missfixedbeauty

Leanne from All Things Beauty and Beautiful

Hannah from Secrets of a Rose

Jenny from Mish Mosh Makeup

Crystal from Always Feeling Pretty

My questions for them are:

1. What is your favourite thing about blogging?

2. If you could have a lunch party with 5 other people, who would they be? (fictional characters and people who have died also allowed)

3. If there was one thing you would have liked to known before you started blogging, what would it have been?

4. Where do you write your blog posts?

5. Where would you go on holiday if you had a free trip?

6. What is your favourite comfort food?

7. If you had to pick a season to live in eternally, which would you pick?

8. What beauty-related step do you skip?

9. What is your favourite place to shop?

10. What is the hardest part about being a blogger?

11. Where do you find blogs to follow?

So there it is! Sorry for the late post today, I had a bit of trouble picking questions!

Autumn Tag!

image cr: http://www.makeup-pixi3.com/2014/09/the-autumn-tag-2014.html

I saw this tag on Tales of a Pale Face by the lovely Kat and I thought I would share my version of the Autumn Tag!


1.  Ok we're talking coffee's - what's your favourite seasonal drink from Starbucks/Costa/Cafe Nero etc?
#TBH I don't drink coffee (except in rare exceptions when I need an energy boost) and I don't really like the taste of it. So I'm going for Black Forest Hot Chocolate from Costa Coffee. As I haven't been to Costa recently, I'm not sure if they have it this year, but last year I spent my free minutes between classes getting this delicious drink! Definitely a fav!

2.  Accessories - what do you opt for, scarf, boots, gloves?
I love my boots from Clarks. They are the perfect pair to wear in my opinion as they look nice with everything I tend to wear (skirts with leggings mostly) and are super comfortable. I use a waterproofing polish so that adds to their usefulness, especially in the rainy weather.
Occasionally, I also add on a beanie, Mine is pale pink and was handmade by a friend.

3.  Music - what's your favourite music to listen to during Autumn?
I rarely change up my music preferences, Mainly because I tend to listen to the same songs over and over. I have noticed though, in Autumn I tend to listen to piano a bit more, especially Yiruma. The soft music really suits the sound of raindrops and makes me feel cosy (especially when I'm wrapped up under my covers!)

4.  Perfume - what's your favourite scent for this time of year?
Right now I am using Taylor Swift Wonderstruck and a Vanilla Caramel scent I got from France when I was on holiday there last year. I really like ALL of Taylor Swift's perfumes (Swiftie here...) and Taylor was my go-to summer scent, but around this time, I tend to lean more towards sweeter more full scents. I call it "cosy scents".

5.  Candles - what scents will you be burning this season?
I am one of those unfortunate people who cannot have candles because my accommodation doesn't allow it, so I'll skip this question this year.

6.  What do you love most about Autumn?
I love the colder weather. I love wearing comfy hoodies and jumpers so the cooler weather is perfect for that, but it isn't so cold that I need to throw on a thick coat like in winter. Also, it's the perfect excuse to stay in and watch movies and wear comfy pajamas (not that I need an excuse).

7.  Favourite makeup look?
I still go for a neutral eye with lots of shimmer, but I change up my blushers to more plummy tones. As I don't have many plum blushes, I've been using Sleek Flushed a lot. Any recommendations are appreciated!!

8.  What are you looking forward to most in Autumn?
Not really an Autumn thing, but I'm a November baby, so I'm looking forward to my birthday! I'm also looking forward to getting some (more) super cosy tights from Primark. In fact I may just go now.....


What are you looking forward to this Autumn? Let me know in the comments below! Also leave a link if you've done this tag! I love reading them :)
