30 BEAUTY QUESTIONS TAG

Hello!

I haven't had enough time to prepare a post for today, so I thought I'd do this '30 Beauty Questions Tag' instead. Next week I should have something more interesting put up which has more thought into it, but I didn't want to miss a week.

1. Do you remember your first makeup item?

My first ever makeup item was given to me when I was 5 which was a makeup set, but at the time I didn't know how to apply it so my dad did. My first proper item was a mascara-I was in middle school at the time and we were only allowed a very minimal amount of makeup. I chose mascara because I have bleach blonde eyelashes and eyebrows, so looked quite gormless without any colour on them.

2. Describe your perfect mascara. Have you found one that fits your specifications?

Mascara is such a tricky thing to master, but my all time favorite one is Benefit They're Real. The wand is plastic so doesn't appeal to everyone, but I feel that's what helps give my lashes a full, defined look which is what I am after in a mascara.

3. What kind of coverage do you prefer from foundation?

I don't wear foundation, but if I was to wear it then I'd prefer a light coverage as I would feel less cakey, and my skin would look more healthy.

4. Favorite high end brand?

My favorite high end brands are probably Chanel, YSL, and Mac.

5. What cosmetic brands have you always wanted to try but still haven't? 

There's lots of brands I haven't tried out before, but I'd love to try NARS, Bobbi Brown, and Liz Earle.

6. Favorite drugstore brand?

I have quite a lot of Rimmel products so I like those, I also like Maybelline, and Bourjois Paris.

7. Do you wear fake eyelashes? 

Nope.

8. Is there any kind of makeup you can't leave the house without?

I couldn't leave without my eyebrows drawn on, eyeliner not on, or mascara.

9. What is your most cherished beauty product? 
Probably my Naked palette, and Mac vanilla pigment highlighter.

10. How often do you shop for makeup? Do you like to pick up an item here and there or get lots of goodies at once?

I don't go out on trips especially for make-up, but I find it hard to go out and not buy something beauty related.

11. Do you have a "beauty budget" or you spend freely? 

I do not have a budget, but I do go out with intention of only getting the things that I went shopping for so that I don't buy pointless products.

12. Do you utilize coupons, rewards cards and sales when you shop for cosmetics?

Not particularly, I have discount vouchers and receipts, but have never used them.

13. What type of product do you buy the most of?
I buy blushers, bronzers, and lipsticks quite a lot. These products can be changed to suit different Seasons which is why they're bought so frequently.

14. Is there a brand that you absolutely can't stand?

I don’t think there is a brand that I can’t stand, but I do prefer high end brands so much more then drugstore ones, and have more trust in high end products.

15. Do you avoid certain ingredients in cosmetics like parabens or sulfates?

I don't usually look at what a product contains, but if I did then I would want to avoid products containing horrible chemicals such as parabens or sulfates.

16. Do you have a favorite place to shop for makeup?

Personally, I love to shop in Debenhams for makeup as it contains all the expensive brands that I love, but some people prefer drugstore places to shop depending on the budget, etc.

17. Do you like trying new skincare products or do you keep a certain routine?

I prefer sticking to a certain routine that I trust as skin is a big part of you and I'd rather not ruin mine, but I do sometimes try new skincare products and they are rather nice.

18. Favorite bath and body brand?

Soap & Glory, Espa, and Lush are the only ones I can think of, I'm not a massive bath&body brand lover.

19. If you could only buy from one brand, which brand would you choose?

 I would choose Mac.

20. What brand do you think has the best packaging?
Benefit definitely stand out when it comes to packaging, they are so cute and nice to look at. I also like Chanel and Mac because they're quite simple and chic.

21. Which celebrity always has great makeup?
Kendall Jenner.

22. Do you belong to any online makeup communities?

Shesaidbeauty

23. 5 Favorite Beauty Gurus

Tanya Burr, Katie Snooks, SWalker Makeup, CutiePieMarzia, Sprinkle Of Glitter, Zoella (6 favourites).

24. Do you like multifunctional products like lip and cheek stains?

Not really, I usually find those multifunctional products pointless, and usually turn out to be pretty bad.

25. Are you clumsy in putting on makeup?

I'm not clumsy when I put on makeup, I take time putting it on and don't leave the house until it's blended in well, and looks neat.

26. Do you use makeup base/primer for the eyes?
Yes, I use Urban Decay's Primer Potion for my eyes. Even-though I don't use eyeshadow, using a primer keeps my eye liner on throughout the day.

27. How many hair products do you use on a typical day?

On days when I wash my hair, I use Macadamia Oil shampoo/conditioner, and L'Oreal Paris Extraordinary oil. When I use heat on my hair I use Schwarzkopf Guardian Angel heat protectant.

28. What do you apply first, Concealer or Foundation?

Concealer as I don't wear foundation, only loose powder and concealer.

29. Do you ever consider taking makeup classes?

I would like to take makeup classes because I like the concept of it, but as I'm still in school it would be quite hard to fit them in.

30. What do you love about makeup?

I love how makeup can transform a face completely and make someone look how they want to, I love how it can cover up someones imperfections and make a person feel confident in themselves. Also, I like how there are endless possibilities on how you can look when using makeup, you can use it to make a natural face, or completely cake it on! (#deep)

7 DEADLY SINS OF BEAUTY TAG

Hello!

Today, I am going to be doing the 7 Deadly Sins of Beauty Tag! This is the first time I have done a tag, and I'm excited to answer the questions. If you don't know what the 7 Deadly Sins of Beauty Tag is, it's a set of questions all based upon beauty in which you have to answer-If you want to have a go at the tag then here's where I got the questions.

TAG QUESTIONS

1. GREED: What is your most inexpensive beauty item? What is your most expensive?

My most inexpensive item is probably my MUA eyeliner, the eyeliner is black and lasts for quite a long time. As you might know, nearly everything sold in MUA is £1 so that is definately my most inexpensive item.

The most expensive item is my Naked Palette by Urban Decay. My palette was £36, it was quite pricey but worth it as all the colours that come in the palette are all natural looking tones and last for a long time. 

2. WRATH: What beauty products do you have a love/hate relationship with? What product has been the hardest to get?

I have a love/hate relationship with liquid foundation. This sounds odd, but because my skin is rather pale I find it hard to get a foundation that fits my skin tone and works well.

Eos lip balm. My search for an Eos lip balm has been going on for too long now, it is extra hard to buy one because I'm in the UK whereas the lip balms are sold in US. Currently, I still do not own one of the Eos lip balms but one day I shall own one.

3. GLUTTONY: What are your most delicious beauty products?

Hmm. I don't think I have any beauty products that smell particularly amazing. But, I do have a really nice perfume called Loverdose by Diesel. I'm not too sure on how I would describe the smell of this, but it smells quite sweet and fresh.

 

4. SLOTH: What beauty product do you neglect, due to laziness?

Eyeshadow. I am very good at neglecting eyeshadow, this is because I am lazy, and in the morning I have enough hassle of getting ready for school so never have the time. Also, I would have to wear colours that are sophisticated and ones that school allows me to wear.

5. PRIDE: What beauty product gives you the most self confidence?

Mascara definately gives me the most confidence. The reason being is that I have very fair eyelashes as my hair is fair, without mascara my eyes look very small and my face looks bare. Previously, I have had my eyelashes tinted/dyed before and these lasted for abut 2 months then wore away, and I didn't really feel they made a difference. Wearing mascara opens up my eyes and adds alot definition to them which is what I like.

6. LUST: What attributes do you find most attractive in the opposite sex?

I love really defined and shaped jawlines, I don't know why but they look really cool.

7. ENVY: What items would you most like to receive as a gift?

One thing I am really loving the sound of at the moment is the Dr.Jart BB cream. I have heard lots about this product and it apparently works wonders! The BB cream is meant to tone up your skin and is a perfect cover for scars and blemishes.

Thank you for reading! I hope you liked this post, it is quite different from what I normally do and I tag anyone who's reading this to do the 7 Deadly Sins of Beauty tag.

WHAT'S IN MY MAKE-UP BAG

Olá!  (Hello in Portuguese)

Today, I am going to be a doing the What's In My Make-up Bag tag, I will show you the products in my make-up bag, and tell you a bit about each. Also I'll find links to a website for the products incase you want to buy any.

My Make-up Bag:

 These products are what I use most of the time, but I don't use the bright pink lipstick, red lipgloss, Stay Matte foundation liquid, or the Elastic lashes mascara as much as everything else in my bag.

Starting from the Left we have the Bourjois Paris Mascara, I have 2 of these because it was an offer, but they are very good mascaras, and are handy backups.

Stay Matte Rimmel Foundation in Ivory-Number 100. I don't use liquid foundation because, I don't like the feel of it on my face, but it is good for covering up any blemishes.

Rimmel Lipstick in Pink Blush-Number 006. The colour of this lipstick is very pretty, and looks good when im going out somewhere, but as I am still in school we can't wear bright ,or vibrant lipsticks so it doesn't get used very much. 

Bourjois Paris 3D effect Lipgloss in Bright Red-Number 90. This creates a very shiny red lip, but like the Rimmel Lipstick-I can't wear this to school so it doesn't get used very often.

Benefit High Beam Highlighter. I love this product and use it quite alot, placing it below the brow gives a lovely glow to your face.

Ms.Makeup Brush. Having a big brush in your make-up bag is an essential, I use this daily for applying my powder and blusher, the brush is fluffy and doesn't feel rough on my face.

Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil in Hazel-Number 002. As I have ginger/blonde hair my eyebrows are fair and are hard to see, using this eyebrow pencil just to shade them in and shape my eyebrows to how I want is an essential to me, otherwise my forehead looks bigger without visible eyebrows.

Benefit They're Real Mascara. I'm sure you have all heard of this mascara, it is the top selling mascara and it works wonders. My eyelashes are also fair so using this makes them stand out, and become noticeable. I recommend this mascara to everyone, it is sha-mazing!

Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in Peach Glow-Number 003. I use this everyday just to give my face a clean look, but before I apply it I moisturize my face so that the foundation doesn't leave my skin looking cracked, or dry.

Rimmel Eyeshadow in Glam Ice-Number 100. Yes this is a bright white eyeshadow, but I don't use it on my lid. I put a little bit of the eyeshadow on the inner eye, doing this makes your eyes look more awake, and adds brightness to your eyes.

Benefit Blusher in Dandelion. I'm not one for collecting or having lots of blusher, but I purchased this because I want to add a little colour to my cheek. The blusher is a soft pink and feels very nice on the cheeks, it has a slight shimmer to it but not enough that it looks tacky on your face.

Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed it and maybe purchase one of these products.
