Favourite Bloggers of 2012

Cast your mind back to several months ago and I did a series called 'Monday Blogger Loves', where each Monday I'd feature a blogger who I'd discovered and had been really enjoying.  Well, over the last year I've enjoyed lots of blogs and I thought it would be nice to do a bit of a summary post of the ones that have really stood out to me over 2012.

In no particular order...

Tattooed Tea Lady

Sophia is someone who's grown to be a proper blogging friend of mine, I love our little twitter chats and reading her fantastic in-depth reviews on her blog.  It's after reading her and Sandra's (The Black Pearl Blog) reviews that I started to make mine more detailed and include the product claims - so thank you for inspiring me to take more time and thought over what I write :)

The Black Pearl Blog

Another person who I consider a blogging friend :)  Sandra has a wonderful blog full of an assortment of posts from beauty to lifestyle and homewares.  She writes really well structured posts with amazing photo's!  She's super lovely to talk to and is doing amazingly on her blog, keep up the great work lovely :)

A Scottish Lass

I really can't say enough about Laura (or, Laurie as I call her), I consider her my best blogging friend and I'm dying to meet up with her in real life -but me being in South Wales and her being in Scotland, it'll take some saving up :)  I first discovered her blog when she'd been blogging for 1-2 weeks and was one of her first followers.  I got talking to her and our friendship blossomed from there ;)  She has a lovely blog and is an even lovelier person, she's a must for you to check out, plus she's recently had a blog makeover and it looks amazing!

Ramblings of a Beauty Bird

I first discovered Sasha's blog when she was doing a giveaway some months ago.  I know lots of people don't like giveaway tweets, but I love them, it's how I find out about giveaways and lets face it, we all love winning stuff :)  I'm so glad I did find her blog, she writes lovely reviews with great photo's and blogs regularly.  She's such a sweet person to chat to on twitter too, I always find myself giving her #FF shoutouts because she's just so lovely :)

Natalie Roseanne's Nails and Beauty Blog

Lovely Natalie was the lucky winner of my first ever giveaway :)  So, she'll always hold a special place in my blogging heart :)  She has a lovely blog focussed on nails and nail art, but also blogs about beauty and makeup.  She writes great succinct reviews and is another pleasure to talk to on twitter, I've thoroughly enjoyed her blog over the last year and can't wait to see what 2013 brings for her :)

Sprinkle of Glitter

I think it's fair to say, lots of us love the lovely Louise (geesh, bit of a tongue twister!).  I actually advertised on her blog for 6 months straight :)  She writes the most lovely posts with the nicest writing style, so warm and friendly.  I love her YouTube video's too, I always feel like we're two chums sitting down with a cuppa having a chat about makeup, and that's kinda how her blog feels too - which is what I'm always inspired to have here, still trying to get there though :)  Thanks Louise!

Beauty Broadcast

Emily was one of the first YouTubers and Bloggers I followed.  I love her videos and blogs, always super informative and professional and I love that on her blog she includes daily nuggets in her posts of little tid-bits going on in her life.  Her facebook page is great too, a real community where people ask each other makeup advice :)  I also love how honest her reviews here, I know I can really trust her opinions, if it's a poor product, she'll say so :)
