MEET: tarliescorner

I have really absolutely loved blogging these last few months. Although I did begin blogging in September last year, I feel like I have only really been serious about it this year. I feel inspired by quite a lot of different bloggers to take my blog seriously and seeing their posts and Instagram’s makes my day. A couple of weeks ago I decided I wanted to interview some bloggers that I loved.

Up first, is Tarlie from tarliescorner.

Tarlie is a 24 year old beauty enthusiast. She is a hardworking, Melbourne situated women who is extremely lovely! She created her blog to share her passions, such as: makeup, fashion, travel, food and design.

Anyway: onto the interview!

1.       When did you start blogging?

I started blogging in Febuary 2014. Before that I had always been interested in the beauty industry & was a regular reader of other bloggers. 

2.       What influenced you to begin blogging?

Family & friends have always encouraged my writing, I used to write a lot of stories etc & at one point was planning to use it as a career but then a year or so ago I decided beauty & fashion blogging was something I enjoyed more.

3.      Do you think you will stick to beauty themed posts or will you maybe extend to fashion and/or lifestyle?

I'm already in the process of organising a fashion & lifestyle type segments to my blog. It’s not ready yet but I'm excited to share this with every body.

4.      What do you enjoy doing in your spare time (apart from blogging?)

I like heading to the city or walking through the ranges. Dandenong ranges is stunning, especially in spring & it gives me a chance to sit & relax. In the city I enjoy my shopping & cafes. I have no restraint when it comes to shopping so one hour can turn into a full day very quickly.

5.      Do you think you will begin youtube videos at some point?

I have considered it, but I work full time & it ends up being around 15 hours per day that I'm out of the house. Attempting to schedule in Youtube isn't an option for me right now....but never say never.

6.      What is your most used social media?

100% Instagram... I love seeing others photo's, especially beauty related & it's a great way to communicate with fellow beauty lovers. (A/N: follow Tarlie HERE.)

7.      Since you’ve been blogging for a little while now, what advice do you wish you could’ve known before you began blogging?

Don't let (haters) get to you, on occasion I will have someone comment that I own too much makeup.

At first it got to me but now it comes with the territory. Ignore it. other than that, just continue to love the learning process...its a lot of fun.

8.      What has been one product that you would definitely never purchase again: and warn all of your friends/acquaintances about?

Tough one....I don't have a product I absolutely hate, everyone’s skin takes to products differently. Something I may have hated maybe loved by someone else.   A product that didn't agree with me was the Maybelline - Pore Eraser primer, I had a horrible break out which has never been that bad with anything else I've tried. 

9.      If you had to live with only one type of beauty product-which would you choose? (for example: only mascara, or only lipstick)

Blush....I look like a faded ghost without blush & it’s the one product I'm never seen not wearing.

10.   What is your go-to lip product?

A good moisturiser is the key to good soft lips...I prefer using carmex or nivea before applying any lipstick or gloss.

11.    At what age did you begin to be interested in blogging?

when I started reading others. I would have been 21. 

12.    Favourite thing about winter?

Oversized jumpers, ugg boots & hot tea....if I had a fire place, it would be added onto my list also. 

13.   What is your favourite makeup brand?

I actually don't have a favourite..I love various brands. I've never had one brand that has never disappointed me in one way or another.

14.   One product that you will always swear is Holy Grail?

My L'oreal True Match foundation....it's been a favourite for years, although it doesn't work for everybody, it’s still my favourite drug store foundation.

15.   Where do you see your blog in the future?

Hopefully a lot bigger, I'd love to own my own company that works in the beauty & lifestyle industry. Right now I’m happy with how its progressing & am very excited to see what happens in the future.

Well-there you have it. Thank you to Tarlie for giving up your time to answer some of my questions.
