The Questions
1) Describe yourself in 5 words
Sarcastic, friendly, Honest, Loving, girly
Sarcastic, friendly, Honest, Loving, girly
2) Why did you decide to start blogging?
Like many, I love to write and have always loved giving my opinions though started a blog was never something I thought I would do. A chat with Hayley from Sparkles and Stretchmarks and some gentle encouragement gave me what I needed to start blogging.

3) How did you choose the name of your blog and why?
I have always been obsessed with beauty products whether it is something from Lush, a face cream, body cream, scrub or make-up I have always wanted to try everything and have always had wishlists of products to try. Now I am not much of a Princess but the word Queen came to me randomly and when I searched to see if it was in use, it wasn't and Beautyqueenuk was born.

4) Tell us something about yourself that you think might surprise us!
Like Hayley, I don't have a lot self confidence and really hate seeing photos of myself and hate being in front of the camera, so you will very rarely see photos of me because I am really self-critical.

5) What is your favourite and least favourite thing about blogging?
I have two favourite things. The first is the comments that I get on my blog. There is nothing better than knowing someone out there is reading your blog and thinks enough of you to leave a comment, it really makes my day when I go and have a look at the comments people have left. as I love them so much, I do always leave comments on the blogs I read. Comments have also led me to interact with other bloggers and some of them I have been lucky enough to meet and spend time with.
I also love the opportunity blogging gives to working with brands and being lucky enough to try new products that I otherwise might not have discovered.
My least favourite thing is the bitching. A room full of girls is always going to cause havoc with all those hormones flying around, but some of the things I have seen and read truly saddens me. In an ideal world, I would love for everyone to get along and support one another.
