10 Beauty Questions Tag

Hi everyone

-

So tonight I was reading through some requests and decided to do the 30 questions tag, however I thought - who really wants to read 30 mini paragraphs, so I decided to cut it down to 10. This evening I decided to do a tag because I really don't think that you guys know too much about me, so here I am in my new PJs watching Friends drinking cup after cup of peppermint tea, letting my readers get to know me a little better!

-

1. Favourite High End Make Up Brand?

Now I said that I don't think that you guys know that much about me, but I do go on about how much I love MAC. I absolutely love MAC because it's so luxurious and they have such a huge range of perfectly formulated products in all colours and sizes.

2. What Type Of Products Do You Buy The Most?

I am a sucker for all things lip - from gloss to stain I am loving them at the minute. I have had phases when I love blushes/eye shadows etc, but I am loving lip products at the minute because there are such a range of products that you can get in loads of colours.

3. Which Celebrity Always Has Great Make Up?

Basically all the Kardashians from Kylie to Kris.

4. Favourite Beauty Gurus?

Not all of these are beauty gurus but - Tanya Burr, Louise, Zoe, Bethany Mota, Liza Prideaux, Vivanna and Lily Pebbles.

5. What Do You Apply First, Concealer Or Foundation?

I actually apply foundation first which I know is different to most people, but I just find it more natural, and because I have pretty bad dark circles I tend to apply concealer quite a few times.

6. How Many Hair Products Do You Apply In A Typical Day?

Well when I don't wash my hair usually none because my hair is naturally straight, however when I wash my hair I usually use an oil, a mousse, and a heat protector.

7. Favourite Bath And Body Brand?

I have two - Soap And Glory and Lush. Soap and Glory have an amazing range of appealing, great smelling products, and Lush have loads of pure, organic, scented products.

8. If You Could Only Buy Make Up From One Brand, Which Would You Choose?

That's easy - MAC!

9. What Brand Has The Best Packaging?

I would say Benefit because they have amazing packaging and amazing presentation on their counters. 

10. What Is Your Most Cherished Beauty Product?

I would say my Tom Ford lipstick because it is gorgeous!

Procrastinating Beauty Blogger Tag

Hello everyone!

-

Today I was on my blog feed and came across The Procrastinating Beauty Blogger Tag posted by Emily from Beauty Broadcast. I thought it would be fun to do this tag, so here it is!

-

1. Name a beauty regime you rarely do?

I really should use lip liner more because I think that it makes your lips look really full and complete however I rarely do.

2. Is washing your make up brushes something you do regularly?

I am going to be really honest here and say it's not. I should really wash them more often but I can never seem to find a right time because before I do my make up is when I realise that they are dirty but then I have no time for them to dry before I do my make up, so no.

3. How long will you last with chipped nail polish?

Unless I am going out somewhere, I can last quite a while because it doesn't really bother me. I am trying to grow my nails at the minute so they are really uneven, but I guess if I had really nice long nails I would keep on top of it.

4. How long will you put off replacing a product, even if you really need it?

If it's something like a foundation/concealer, I buy it again either the day I run out of it or the next, because I can't live without that (unless I have a back up - which I usually do), but if it's something like an eye shadow or a blush then I will put it off for quite a while.

5. What is your worst beauty habit?

I would say applying too much concealer. I have pretty bad dark circles but I overload on concealer a lot, then I don't realise for ages.

6. Name something non-beauty related that you put off doing all the time?

I never keep my room tidy so I would say cleaning my room. It always seems to take forever because I get pre-occupied all the time!

7. Can you commit to spending bans?

I would say I can because if you guys have read some of my most recent posts then you will know that I am doing a beauty shop every 2 weeks, I'm not sure if this is really a ban, but I have been doing well so far.

8. How organized are your make up and nail polish collections?

My make up organization has gone dramatically down-hill because I seem to just shove everything in a draw, but my nail polish collection is pretty good, I just tend to leave one or two lying around every now and then.

The Beauty Scenario Tag

Hello guys!

-

I will be doing the beauty scenario tag today after being tagged by the lovely Sienna!

-

1. If you had to get rid of all your foundations and only keep one high end and one drugstore, which would you keep?

This one was pretty easy for me because I have very clear favourites when it comes to foundation. My high end foundation would be Bobbi Brown because it has been my favourite high end foundation for a few years now, and my drugstore foundation would be No7 because you can't beat it for full coverage all day long.

2. You go for an interview and the lady interviewing you has lipstick on her teeth - Do you approach the situation or ignore it completely?

I would definatley not tell her because if she was very unapproachable she might take offence to it and because I am a not a confrontational person I would find it very awkward if she did take offence to it.

3. Your not quite feeling yourself and you need a pick me up - which lipstick would you wear to make yourself feel beautiful?

I would without a doubt go for MAC's Creme Cup because it's a pretty nude with a splash of baby pink which is a real pick me up.

4. You go back in time to your early teens - how would you do your hair and make-up differently?

Oh my gosh when I was about 12/13 I just piled on powder and attacked my lashes with a cheap mascara then occasionally wore a dark pink lipgloss. I also had an abundance of baby hair and because I hated my hair I would scrape it back and wear a plastic headband then my baby hair would be stuck up in the air, it was not a good look! I would just wear less powder and a baby pink lipgloss with maybe a little mascara and blush, then straighten my hair and clip a side bit back to minimise the baby hair.

5. You ask your hairdresser for a shoulder length Pixie Lott-esque hairstyle but they mishear and give you a pixie crop instead. Do you a) smile, say thanks and leave calling your mum hysterically crying? b) cry in the chair and things get awkward? c) Complain to the manager and and ask for refund?

I would probably smile, say thanks and leave calling my mum crying because I am really bad at confrontation as I said earlier so I would just thank them through gritted teeth, as I have many time before at the hairdressers!

6. Your friend surprises you to a trip to New York - which 'do it all' palette would you take?

I'm guessing this is an eye palette so I would take the Naked basics palette because it has all the colours you need in a small compact palette that allows you to wear subtle nudes in the day and a dramatic smokey eye in the evening.

7. Your house is robbed! Which of your beauty products do you first check that haven't been stolen?

I would first check that non of my MAC stuff was gone like my palette, paintpot, powder, etc. because they are my favourite, most used products1

8. Your friend borrows a beauty item but returns it in awful condition. Do you a) pretend you haven't noticed? b) say something and ask her to repurchase it? c) do the same to her?

I would actually do the same to her! That's a little rude but I do enjoy a bit of revenge every now and then, especially it was something that I used a lot or a high end product!
