QUESTIONS & ANSWERS TAGS

Hello friends,
two of my favourite girls

Kimmy from Beauty Isles

and

Antonia from Fifi and the Diamonds

have nominated me for a few tags, thank you so much for thinking of me ladies!!

I have already answered some of the questions from these tags in previous tags I have done, so I am now going to pick 11 new questions and put them together here :)

1. When was the first time you wore make up in public? (Kimmy)
When I was 5 year old, for a ballet performance :)

2. What's your favourite thing to buy beauty wise? (Kimmy)
I have an obsession with highlighters - liquid, cream, powder, you name it, I have it, and if I don't have it, I want it!

3. What's your favourite food? (Kimmy)
Pizza, and croissants with Nutella - and if you let me add fruit, vegetables, water, coffee and champagne, this is what I could live off of for the rest of my life, without ever eating anything else.
I am not a vegetarian, but I don't really like meat or chicken, so except from sushi or the odd fish, on most days I eat as if I was a vegetarian.

4. Your favourite music? (Kimmy)
Madonna and U2. And profanity-laden hip-hop songs, which I clean up and sing (AND dance!!!) along to All. Day. Long.
Most of my Instagram captions at @mjintheskywithglitter are de-obscenified lyrics from hip-hop songs too haha!
Tyga is my current favourite "I make that money reappearrrr hopping off the lear ain't no passengers in here I got D'Usse poppin no beerrrr why u in my ear I can't hear the money clear... YAAAAS my life All. Day.

5. Lipstick or lipgloss? (Antonia)
Lipgloss. I always have one in my bag for quick touch-ups on the go.

6. Your make up bag staple? (Antonia)
The one and only L'Oreal Lumi Magique foundation - True Match Lumi in the US.

7. Your favourite season and why? (Antonia)
Summer, because I love wearing summer dresses, and stiletto sandals, and flip-flops. To the point that my idea of winterwear is a coat over summer clothes.

8. What camera do you use for your blog? (Antonia)
I take all my blog and Instagram pictures with my iPhone 4S.

9. Who would you invite to a dinner party and why?
I would invite Oscar Wilde. Having a conversation with him over dinner would be mesmerizing.

10. My top 5 make up products (Kimmy and Antonia)

• L'Oreal Lumi Magique foundation
• Mac Pro Longwear Concealer
• Dior Skinflash Radiance Booster Pen
• Helena Rubinstein Spider Eyes mascara base
• Kiko Colour Sphere eyeshadows

11. Random make up facts about me (Kimmy)
I never set my face with powder. I always fake-tan my face. I always have lip balm with me.

Girls I hope you enjoyed this post, and thank you again Kimmy and Antonia for tagging me!!

LIEBSTER AWARD - PART 2

Hello girls,
I am so lucky to have the bestest friend-bloggers in the world, and in the last few weeks I received 4 (!!) nominations for the Liebster Award!!

So all my love and gratitude go back to

Ella Rose from Ella Rose Crown

Nikki and Rachel from Precious Wonders

Francesca from EffStar Beauty

Amy from Chic Beauty

I already got nominated twice last winter, so here is my first Liebster Award post from back then :-) Liebster Award - Emily's and Rachel's Questions

As I explained in my first post, the Liebster Award is not a real award, it's just a way to show love and support to other bloggers by "nominating" them :-)

Again, I feel that answering all 11 questions from all 4 nominations would be too much?
So I will pick some questions from each nomination, also depending on the most asked and previously answered ones.

1. What is the one item you wish you had? (Ella Rose)
A pair of Louboutin heels ^_^

2. Who is your style icon? (Ella Rose and Amy)
Brigitte Bardot.
And Donatella Versace - her long sleek platinum blonde hair, her blacker than black smokey eyes with nude lips and natural barely there brows against the current eyebrows-are-life trend, in her Versace gowns, OMG that's so me, except for the Versace gowns part ^_^
And the 90s supermodels.

3. What is your dream job and does it have anything to do with your blogging interests? (Ella Rose)
My dream job is my job, flight attendant :-)
So no, technically it has got nothing to do with my blogging interests.
But travelling all the time gives me access to make up and skincare and fashion brands that would otherwise be out of my reach haha :-D

4. How would you describe your personal style? (Nikki & Rachel)
You're most likely to see me in a tank top, black leggings, and rubber flip flops from Abercrombie or Hollister during the day, and a skintight dress and stilettos at night.

5. No eyebrows or no eyelashes? (Nikki & Rachel)
Hahahaaa deffff no eyebrows!!!! Eyelashes and mascara are life, if you ask me!!!

6. My top favourite make up product (Nikki & Rachel, Francesca and Amy)
Yes, you, L'Oreal Lumi Magique (True Match Lumi) foundation in DW3 Gold Linen.
You changed my life and made me a more beautiful person with a more glowy, and more yellow-toned, and more tanned skin.
It's me and you, together with Dior Bronze Self Tanner in Natural Glow, forever against the paleness, and the matte-ness, and the pink-tones.

7. My summer beauty must haves (Francesca and Amy)

1. Hydrating serum to keep my skin well hydrated with a product rich in water and active ingredients, and my favourite is Apivita Natural Serum in Hydration, you can read my review here Apivita Natural Serum - Hydration
2. A shimmery bronze eyeshadow
3. An orangy lipstick. I have only really started loving them and wearing them this year, so I have many new blogposts about them How to make orange lipstick work for pale blondes / Iggy Azalea inspired make up , My Mac neon orange look + dupes , Mac Lady Danger

8. If you could give one beauty tip, what would it be? (Francesca)

B L E N D Y O U R E Y E S H A D O W.

9. Biggest beauty blunder? (Francesca)

Not blending my eyeshadow hahaha!!!

Yes I admit that once upon a time I committed a few crimes of non-blending myself :-D
My blending game changed dramatically when the YouTube videos of Sam and Nic Chapman aka Pixiwoo introduced me to Mac 217 brush.
The best brush of ALL. TIME. No other brush like this one.

10. What's your favourite high street shop?

H&M. I go at least weekly, wherever in the world I am.

11. What's your favourite perfume?

The One from Dolce & Gabbana.
When I was younger it was Blonde from Versace, but it was later discontinued :( When I smelled their new fragrance Vanitas it reminded me of it <3

LIEBSTER AWARD - EMILY'S AND RACHEL'S QUESTIONS

My girls

Emily from Emily Lovess

and

Rachel from Not 2 Normal

nominated me for the Liebster Award, which is not a real award, it's just a way to show love and support to other bloggers by "nominating" them :-)

I am very grateful and excited to answer their questions for me - only to keep the length of this post within reason, instead of answering all 11+11 questions from both of them I will pick 6+5 :-)

So here are Emily's questions:

1. What is your favourite makeup brand?

I have to say Mac. They have pretty much every possible make up product in every possible shade, and their make up artists are truly the top of the top.

2. Heels or flats?

Heels baby!! Flat shoes - except for flip-flops during spring/summer and Ugg boots for fall/winter - should be banned by law, seriously hahaha!! ^_^

3. Statement eyes or statement lips?

Statement eyes. I love a statement lip from time to time, but statement eyes are more of my signature look.

4. Who is your makeup inspiration?

Samantha and Nicola Chapman - the amazingly nice and talented Pixiwoo sisters -, the supermodels of the 90s, and goddess Brigitte Bardot.

5. Favourite current trend?

Purple lips! I've been giving my contribution to the trend by often wearing Flat Out Fabulous lipstick by Mac :-) (see me wear it in Mac Flat Out Fabulous lipstick)

6. Why did you create a blog?

I decided to start a makeup blog because I was always writing my best friends these long-a** messages about make up looks and products, so at some point I just thought "Why not PUBLISH them????" hahaha :-D

And I love seeing other girls' looks and reading about their favourite products, so I thought that if I could inspire, or be helpful to, or simply entertain at least one unknown girl somewhere in the world, then my blog would make sense. And luckily it did, so let me take this chance to thank whoever is reading this now :-)))

And here are Rachel's questions:

7. How did you come up with your blog name?
I travel often, which is the thing I love the most together with music and make up.
When I started my blog I was really into glitter eyeliners - Its Turquoiseness Drunk Dial from Too Faced from their Starry Eyed line, now discontinued :'-(, is still one of my biggest loves.
So I put my greatest passions together: [Music] I took the title of the legendary song by The Beatles "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" and adjusted it to myself as "MJ in the Sky [Travelling] with Glitter [Make up]" :-)

8. What is your favourite part about blogging?
Interacting with other girls who share the same love for make up <3

9. What's the last make up product you bought?
Nars Multiple in Orgasm, and I am wearing it in this look Mac All Fired Up lipstick

10. What's your all-time favourite movie?
I'm not the biggest fan of movies or cinema to begin with, but if you let me substitute movie with book I can tell you Alice in Wonderland :-)))

11. What's your all-time favourite song?
My favourite singer and icon is Madonna, but my all time favourite song is Promiscuous by Nelly Furtado and Timbaland "Promiscuous girl / wherever you are / I'm all alone and it's you that I want...", which is also my phone's ringtone <3

And now my nomination for the Liebster Award goes to my sweet friend 

BeautyAddict29 from Beauty Addict 29 <3

Thank you once more Emily and Rachel, and thank you everybody for stopping by and taking the time to read :-)

Love
MJ
