How much is my face worth?

Hey everyone so today I am doing the 'How much is my face worth tag' post. I have seen this tag floating around the blogging world for a while now so I thought I would do it for you. Unfortunately I am not putting a picture of me wearing this makeup look as I am not very well and not up to wearing makeup at the moment. This is the makeup I wear when I am going to college as it is not too in your face but still noticeable.

NYC all day long foundation- £3.99
Rimmel Stay Matte Powder- £3.99
NYC show time mascara- £1.99
Barry M natural glow shadow and blush palette- £6.49
Be a bombshell eyeliner- £9.00
Rimmel Lipstick- £6.49

Total face cost:  £31.95.

I am shocked that the most expensive thing I use is my eyeliner! But I love it! Keep your eyes peeled for reviews on these products in the coming weeks.

How much is you face worth?

Much love
Keira

What I did this week #2

Hey everyone so its Sunday which means it is time for my What I did this week post!
This week hasn't been a very good week for me so this post is going to be very boring. I am not looking for sympathy at all with this post, I am starting this series and I am sticking to it no matter how boring it is!

Sunday- I stayed in bed all day because I was starting with flu!

Monday- I went to work which I really shouldn't of done!

Tuesday- I stayed in bed all day reading blog posts!

Wednesday- I went into college as I was only in for a few hours and I done manicure!

Thursday- I ended up at the doctors on a nebuliser as I couldn't breath properly. On the night I was at the emergency doctors with the same problem but they didn't do anything!

Friday- I went back to the doctors as I was still struggling to breathe and had a big pain in my lungs. They sent me home with tablets. My mums friend came round on the night and we had a laugh, which made me feel a bit better!

Saturday- I spent the whole day in hospital! We finally found out what is wrong, due to my flu I have pulled the main muscles around my ribs that is causing the same amount of pain as it would if I have broken ribs. I had to have a needle in my leg to stop me being sick and am now finally on the mend. On a happier note I got my first ever MAC lipstick and two maybelline colour tattoo's.

Hope you all had a better week than me!
What did you get up to?

Much love

#BritishBloggerSelection- Q&A

Hey everyone so for this weeks #BritishBloggerSelection is a Q&A/ Interview post. I love doing Q&A type posts as I feel it helps my readers get to know me better!
Here are the questions!

1. Why do you like blogging? I love blogging as it is something I can do that helps me escape the rest of the world and write about things I enjoy. I also love the community that comes with blogging, it is a great way to meet new people who have the same interests as you.

2. How did you come up with your blog name? I came up with 'Makeup by Keira' as I base my blog mainly on mainly on makeup and hoping to do some Makeup looks. And the final part is my name, and as the blog is made by me it all makes sense.

3. Where from the UK do you come from? I come from Cumbria, right at the top of England next to Scotland.

4.  Favorite colour? As you can tell from my blog colour scheme, it is pink.

5. Do you like Lana Del Ray? Not really no! I don't really listen to her as her songs aren't really my thing.

6. Hidden talents that you have? I can bend my feet round the other way.

7. Celebrity crush? Peter Andre, my mum has got me tickets for his concert next year! I am so excited. I also like Tom Daley.

8. Favorite blog of all time? Argh this is such a hard one I really can't pick one.

9. What made you want to join #BritishBloggerSelection? I am always on the look out to find new blogger groups and this is a great way to get to know so many more new british bloggers.

Hope you all enjoyed this Q&A post and have got to know me a bit better. Stay tuned next Saturday for the next #BritishBloggerSelection post!

Much Love
