1- Tell us about yourself.
I never really know how to start this question but i'll give it a go; my name is Shivon and I'm currently 20 years old; a Gemini, a lover of creativity and laughter and and obsessive list writer. I currently work (Autumn 2015) as an administrator for a boiler company and spend all other time working on my blog and my Youtube channel which are my biggest passions in my life.
2- What is your favourite makeup product of all time?
Oooooh - you've stumped me....MAC Mineralize Skin Finish 'Soft & Gentle' - the best highlighter ever and will last you for yonks. I get so many questions on what i'm wearing on my cheekbones when sporting this highlighter (which is pretty much every day and in every make-up look possible) and it's always the same product. I love it.
3- Neutral makeup or bright makeup?
I personally am more drawn to bright make-up; I feel as if you can be so much more creative with it and there are infinite looks you can create. I do love a classic neutral eye with some dramatic false lashes though!
4- Would you rather have no eyelashes or no eyebrows?
AH! - I'd say no eyelashes as there are amazing false lashes on the market that are designed for people lacking the natural eyelashes; plus without my eyebrows I reckon i'd resemble somewhat of a giggly potato.
5- What is your favourite lipstick colour?
Any berry tones - which isn't obvious as I tend to wear nudes a lot. I'm always drawn to the berry purples and they just make me feel so glam and compliment my hair colour really well.
6- What made you start youtube/ blogging?
I was around the age of 13/14 and was never the 'cool girl' in my year so after being invited to my first 'cool' party I wanted to make a really good impression but had no make up skills and no clue what to do at all. I started googling my problems (it works) 'party make up' 'make up for green eyes' and all of the above and came across a woman called Kandee Johnson and I remember watching her first ever Megan Fox make up tutorial and becoming hooked. It was about 2 o'clock in the morning and I had school the next day but I was still fixed on learning how to blend your eyeshadow. I ended up rocking a very badly 'blended' purple smokey eye and feeling on top of the world. It all started after that really; each day after school I would run home and get my beauty fix on Youtube (this was the age of webcam and windows movie maker slideshow like editing) and became obsessed. After a few weeks I discovered how much I loved make-up and wanted to be a make up artist and that's all I would ever do - sit at home and play around, offer to do my friends make up etc - started building up a facebook mini portfolio when I was 15! After my GCSE's, I took a 'Level 2 Hair & Make Up Artistry' course at college and was inspired to attempt to start my own Youtube channel... I think my first video was using a super old school Urban Decay palette with the slide out box. I gained 12 subscribers in a year and was in my element - learning and creating all day every day.
7-What is your dream job?
Teaching make up! I love to teach new skills that I've learnt across the years and see the joy on someone's face as they're flooded with confidence.
8- Who is your favourite youtuber?
It's SO hard to decide.As my main loyalties and inspirations reside with Kandee Johnson I will choose her, she's such a positive influence too.
9- What is your favourite clothes shop?
MISSGUIDED - no second thoughts needed! You can find EVERYTHING on there. Warning - clutch at your purse strings!
10- Tell us one interesting thing about yourself.
I'm OBSESSED with Reece's peanut butter cups.
We hope you enjoyed our interview with Shivon, we certainly did.
We'd like to thank Shivon for taking part and we hope you all check her out. (Ps- she is so on point.)

1- Who is your main inspiration?
My main inspiration, especially for my blog, has to bee Chiara Ferragni. She's a self-made top blogger and she's full of life and personality in a way that I hope to emulate it one day. She's definitely blogger goals!
2- Tell us an interesting fact about you?
I work as a freelance photographer along with doing my blog! I've been working as a photographer for about 1 and a half years now!
3- Favourite season and why?
Definitely spring! Where I live, spring is absolutely stunning since the leaves are gone, the flowers are blooming, and the heat and humidity haven't come out in full swing!
4- Favourite makeup product?
Ah, I don't really wear makeup, but I've just purchased this Sephora foundation and it's absolutely amazing! It provides the perfect amount of coverage and just looks really smooth!
5- If you were on a desert island, what 3 things would you take?
Definitely my iphone w/ my solar charger, even though cell service won't work, a notebook, and my camera.
6- Whats your blog about?- So our readers know.
My blog is a personal style blog, with a bit of Youtube, travel, and life all around! My personality is a bit all over the place and I have so many different interests, but they're all shown in my blog! Mainly fashion though! That's my passion.
7- Favourite shop ever?
Topshop. Hands-down.
8- Why did you start blogging?
I started blogging because I needed a new creative outlet because I had become injured in dance class. The blog was a great way for me to have creative freedom, but also channel it into something structured and constructive.
9- Favourite quote?
Fashion should be a form of escapism, and not a form of imprisonment. – Alexander McQueen
10- Favourite colour to wear on your nails.
I love a good neutral color like a nude or black! Goes with every outfit!

What made you start blogging?
Last summer I was on holiday with my friends at the beach and one of them used to follow Chiara Ferragni on Instagram. I had never heard anything about her, but I loved her Instagram feed because her photos were (and still they are) colorful and pretty. So I decided to read more about this amazing Italian girl and about blogging and I spent all Summer 2014 visiting different fashion blogs. In August 2014 I opened my first fashion blog, Inside the Omega, but I deleted it after one month because I didn't have much time to take photos. In March 2015 I thought to try again this challenge, so I created my current blog The Sparkling Hell.
Neutral makeup or bright makeup?
I have always been fascinated by bright make up because my personality is particular and creative, but I usually put on neutral make up because it's easier to create and it's perfect in every situation. I usually put on concealer, foundation and powder, then I draw my eyebrows and I use a little bit of kajal and a lot of mascara. Instead I love bright lips, in fact I sometimes use a neon pink lipgloss.
Favourite lipstick?
I actually don't have a favourite lipstick because I love changing and trying different cosmetics. I love the new lipsticks by Kiko Milano which are perfect for Fall because of their neutral and warm colours.
What is your ultimate dream job?
My dream job is directing US Vogue as Anna Wintour. I love that magazine and I love writing. I'm very creative and hard working, so I hope to study Fashion Desing or Journalism at university and then get to work from Vogue.
Who is your favourite blogger/ youtuber?
I premise that I appreciate a lot of fashion bloggers and I take inspiration from a lot of them, but my favourite one is Kristina Bazan, owner of Kayture. I love her style, which is so polished and always particular. Her photos are excellent and she writes a lot and gives good contents to her readers.
My favourite youtuber is Greta Menchi, an Italian girl like me. Her videos are funny but at the same time they are so interesting.
Would you rather be stuck with 4 ears or have 4 eyes?
What a strange question ahaha! Well, I rather be stuck with four eyes but I think I wouldn't like it -two eyes more to make up...-.
Tell us one interesting fact about yourself
I love music and dance. I practice singing every day and I study classical dance since 2005. I'm the head of a musical company and if I can't become a fashion journalist I would like to be a musical actress.
What is one thing on your bucket list?
Going to a Fashion Week. I was invited to two shows of NewYorkFW2015 and to two one of LondonFW2015 but I couldn't partecipate because I'm too young to travel alone (I'm just 15), so my biggest dream at the moment is attending a Fashion Week.
What is your favourite item of clothing?
This is a difficult question because I love all the items of clothing, for example I'm an huge fan of hats because I think my face is perfect to wear any kind of hats. But my favourite item of all are the shoes. I think I have 35 pairs and I love buying more and more. Shoes can make a simple outfit an amazing and particular look, therefore they are my must.
Favourite sweet?
I love food, I love pizza (I'm Italian, you can imagine how delicious is pizza here...), I love chocolate, I love love love Tiramisù (a tipical Italian dessert which is AMAZING, try it -better if you eat it in Italy- and you'll understand what I mean...), but my favourite food -and sweet of course- is the ice cream! Gelato (I've read that also you call it this way) is delicious and you can choose a lot of different flavors, so it's irresistible!
