Get to know me...

1. Is your hair naturally curly or straight?
Its curly but not a good kind of curly.

 

 2. Do you dye it yourself or go to a salon?

My hair is currently my natural colour but if I do dye it then I tend to go to the salon now as I had far too many disasters with at home kits.

 

3. Do you wear the same style everyday, or do you change it? 

My hair is either in a ponytail, a bun or straightened. You can normally tell which days I have washed my hair as they tend to be the days I have it down and straightened.

4. Do you do your own mani/pedi or go to a salon? 

I have gel manicures every 3 weeks but always do my own pedicures. Mostly because I am ridiculously ticklish and cannot stand anybody touching my feet.

 

5. How often do you change your nail polish?

Every 3 weeks.

6. Do you polish your toes in the winter or just the summer? 

Bare toenails are one of my biggest pet peeves so I always have nail polish on my toes. Normally in the winter it is a dark berry red or black and then I like to mix it up in the summer.

7. How long does it take for you to put on makeup? 

I have to make a decision in the mornings, do I want to get up really early and do my makeup perfectly or do I want to sleep?? Normally the latter wins and I have on average 7 minutes to do my make up. If I am going out I like to spend a lot longer on it though.

 

8. What do you do first? Face or eyes?

I always do my face first, I'm not sure why but it is just the way that makes sense to me. I guess I don't wear eye makeup every day so it just becomes habit to do my face first.

9. Do you collect makeup or just buy what you need when you need it? 

I am pretty good at just buying what I need, I will always have more than that but I wouldn't buy things just for the sake of it.

10. How often do you wear false eyelashes? 

Never really. I can never make them even and they always fall off before I am ready to take them off. Not a great look on me.

 

11. Do you do a full face of makeup everyday?

I guess this is kind of answered in question 7. I wear the bare minimum to work as I am just too lazy but on the weekend and nights out I wear a full face.

12. Do you wear makeup when you’re home alone or with family?

Unless it is a special occasion no but if we have people over then I will put a full face on.

13. Will you leave the house without makeup? 

I do but it isn't a pretty site and I tend to see everybody I know just to make it that little bit worse.

 

14. How many high-end products do you have?

Urm my skincare is high end and I guess it depends what you class as high-end. I have quite a bit of MAC.

15. Do you plan your OOTD every night or decide when you’re getting dressed? 

During the week for work it is a last minute decision but at the weekends I tend to plan a little bit more.

16. How often do you change your handbag? 

Never really. I have a work bag for my laptop and then my beloved Mulberry for weekends and evenings

 

17. What time do you wake up and go to sleep?

My alarm goes off at 6:30 every morning and I tend to be in bed by about 10:30 

18. How often or when do you workout?

Never! I really should though

19. Left handed or right handed? 

Right Handed

 

20. How tall are you?

5ft 5 apparently

21. Do you speak any foreign languages?

Nope I don't even speak English very well haha

22. How many pets do you have? 

Just the one, a border collie called Kingsley

23. Do you read comments posted on blogs? 

Of course, I love reading and replying to comments. 

 

 

24. What’s your favorite color?

I love grey! I think it looks great with so many other colours and can be so pretty.

25. What are you doing with the rest of your day? 

I am getting my nails done tonight and then have an appointment at the hair salon for a wedding hair trial!

Tag: The 7 Deadly Sins of Beauty.

I thought I would do a nice easy post today, I've seen this tag on youtube a lot recently so I thought I would give it a go.

1. GREED:

• What is your most inexpensive beauty item?

My most inexpensive beauty item that I use on a regular basis is my Natural Collection 'Sun Tint Bronzing Powder' which is £1.99 from Boots. I have been using this bronzer for over a year now and am on my third pot of it which shows how much i love it. I tend to use it more in the winter as it doesn't show up as well when I'm tanned.

•  What is your most expensive?

The most expensive beauty item I own is my Naked pallet which I adore and it is so worth the £32 I paid for it. I use it every day and would be lost without it.
2. WRATH:

• What beauty products do you have a love/hate relationship with?

The beauty product that I have a love/hate relationship with is my Garnier 'BB cream'. I love the concept of this product and think it would be such a good alternative to foundation in the summer for me but I just hate the formulation and the way it looks on my skin.

• What product has been the hardest to get?

The product which I have found the hardest to get is again my Naked pallet from Urban Decay. I got mine about 2 months after everybody else because I just couldn't find it anywhere near me and it was sold out online. It was only when I flew to Cyprus last summer that I saw it in the in-flight duty free magazine and HAD to buy it!


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

By delicious I assume it means the smell and not the taste as nothing I own tastes that good. But I love my soap and glory 'Hand food' and 'The righteous butter'. They both have the signature Soap & Glory smell and it is one of my favourite scents ever.

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

The one product that I neglect when I really shouldn't is primer. I have quite oily skin so when I do use primer it really helps. I ran out of the primer I was using a few months ago and keep forgetting to repurchase it. I really will go get a new one this week I just have to choose a good one first so any recommendations would be great.

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

Mascara gives me the most self confidence. I love having dramatic sexy eyelashes and I think it makes eyes look even more gorgeous if you have a coat or two of mascara on.

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

I always look at a boys eyes and smile before anything else. If a boy smiles and laughs then he will always be more attractive than someone who doesn't.

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

Right now I am in love with Nars Blush bronzer trio so if anybody fancies sending one of those my way I would be extremely grateful. If not maybe I'll treat myself next payday :)



Of course I tag all of you to do this and let me know so that I can go read yours!
 
Have a great day
