Beauty Blogger: Simone of Fashion Manifest
Fashion Manifest started out of boredom one afternoon and has expanded into an amazing hobby for Simone. She’s had her ups and downs especially since she was unsure if she wanted to be a fashion blogger or a cozy-personal blogger. I think she’s definitely found that perfect middle ground. One of the main reasons I love coming to her blog is because she’s sooo personable and easy to relate to.
BtL: What does beauty mean to you?
Simone: It sounds like a cliché but I think it’s important to have inner and outer beauty, and both means a lot to me! Both is something you have to work with your whole life… Sadly I didn’t listen to my mom when I was younger, when she told me to clean my face and so on, so I’m just starting to learn how important it is to have beauty routines everyday- no matter how young/old you are… I get a lot of inspiration from this blog for many of my beauty routines actually!
Simone: I wash my face everyday with water (I’ve heard that it should be temperated in the evening and colder in the morning), after that I use an anti aging face cream… It’s not because I’m crazy about my face, but simply because I borrowed some from my mom one day when I didn’t have anything left of my normal cream and I started to like it because it gives a lot of moisture to my skin which is really good when you live in a cold country 
Simone: Ehm… Normally I use a very neutral makeup look with a lot of brown shades, but when I’m going out I love to put the focus on my eyes OR my lips – not both! A dark red for the lips is popular this season so I think that is what I’m gonna buy next… Otherwise an eyeliner is my best friend
Simone: Think I lied in the last question… My lash Stiletto Mascara from L’Oréal is my best friend, and therefore it’s always in my bag :)
BtL: Do you have a favorite product(s)?
Simone: Since I’m studying I can’t afford all the expensive brands, but I’ve tried many of the products from MAC, and that is some seriously good makeup! If we are talking the inexpensive brands I can actually recommend many of the products from E.L.F., their good for the price.
BtL: What’s your favorite way to treat yourself?
Simone: Once my boyfriend gave me a giftcard to a dermatologist and that was so nice to spoil my face with massage, creams and so on… But since I’m just a regular student, I can’t afford doing that everyday. So sometimes I buy (or make it homemade) a facial mask… If I’m really lucky my boyfriend gives me foot massage mmm… that is my favourite massage!
Simone: I think that there are many positive things by being a blogger! I love to write and communicate with other people, so it’s good practice for me! It’s my hobby and I love finding new blogs, I get inspired by them as well as people can get inspired by my style – which kinda boosts your self esteem a bit In Denmark it’s not as popular to read blogs yet so even though I only have approx 200 reads now I have got some invites to events and so on… That is also a lot of fun to visit those events and talk to other bloggers BUT there are also negative things when you blog on a daily basis as I do! It can be very stressful and you have to watch out for some crazy comments sometimes… It’s kinda weird that some people can hate simply because of the things you do/write/wear?! Sometimes it’s hard even though I keep telling myself that it is them that has the problem and not me…
Loved reading through this. Thanks for sharing!
P.S. I’ve heard that washing your face with cold water in the morning is better for you too, and that a lot of female Hollywood stars use the same method.
Jen you’re right it is good. Victoria Beckham actually does this at the end of her shower to her whole body. (I don’t know if I’m that eager to try it though hahaha.)
Thanks for the lovely interview and the things you said about my blog!:)
