- Who are you and why should I listen to you?
I'm Anastasia, I'm a 22 year old British geek who loves make-up, science, computer games, roleplaying, sci-fi/fantasy, books, bright colours, cats and smart people, and you probably shouldn't.
- Are you a make-up artist? Do you work for a make-up company?
A friend of mine said "you are a make-up artist, you just don't work as one" - but no, and no, I'm a student in my final year studying Creative Advertising and I hope that when I grow up and get a proper job, I'll find one being paid to scribble witty things on stuff.
I like anything PvE, I play/ed Guild Wars, WoW, Ragnarok Online and many, many offline PC and Xbox 360 games. Drop me a line if you want to add me on Xbox Live.
- What's your favourite brand/band/celebrity?
I don't have any brand loyalty, nor am I fanatical about anyone remotely famous. I like the product of companies, bands, film stars, etc, but I buy what I like, and that changes with each product. Feel free to ask me about a specific brand or product to hear what I like from them.
- Why do you swear on your blog? Kids might read this!
If kids want to read it, that's their prerogative, there are worse things on the internet than me. I swear if I feel it's necessary because it's my space - I write what I think, and if sometimes other people want to read that, too, then that's great.
- Would you review an item/do a tutorial/suggest an EOTD for me?
Absolutely. I love requests, so if it is reasonably within my power, I'll do it. No harm in asking!
- Why do you have so few blog links on your website? Will you add mine?
I have a small list of blogs and websites linked, because these are the ones that I personally read and vouch for. I'm not into affiliate programs and linking to anyone with a blog, I have to like the content and want to read it, and think it's relevant to my own readers and something they might enjoy. I think incredibly long link lists are counter-productive - people are more likely to visit a carefully handpicked few.
- Do you make money off your blog? Do you get paid to review items, or free stuff?
I make no money from my blog, by advertising, sponsors or any other means. Any giveaways and blog expenses I cover personally. I wouldn't take payment to do a review, but if a company wants to send me a free sample of their product in order for me to use it and review it, I'll gladly do so, but my reviews will always be honest. If I can't be honest here, there's no point in writing it. My integrity is worth more than a few freebies.
Any questions, review/tutorial requests, comments or anything else can be left in a comment on any post or
e-mailed to me using the subject line "Request".
