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

I got NAKED!!!

I know its old news now and every blogger out there has done a post about the Urban Decay Naked Palette but I'm afraid this is going to be another one. I wasn't going to buy this until November when I go to Las Vegas and it had been pretty easy resisting up until now because every time I look for it it has been sold out. This was until I stepped on to my plane to Cyprus and read the in-flight sales magazine and it was there screaming out to me. I was good though and said no when the air hostess came past with the trolley, and I got off the plane empty handed. Big mistake! I desperately wanted it when I was on holiday and looked in all the make up shops over there with no luck so as soon as I got on the plane to come home I asked the air hostess for one expecting her to say they had sold out but she had one left so I snapped it up.

I know everyone has said how amazing it is but honestly it is the most amazing set of make-up I have ever had. The colours are soo gorgeous and you can do so many looks with them. I have had it a week now and I have used it in a different way everyday. I've done a simple brown neutral eye and I've also used it for a dark smokey black eye. Overall I am so glad I didn't wait till November to get this else I would missed out on two months of perfect eye make up.

I won't bore you with loads of photos as I'm sure you have all seen it a hundred times but I will just show you my favourite neutral eye look that I create using the colours. I use Naked all over the lid then put Buck on the outer corner and in the crease, I finish with Smog under my lower lash line. I also use Buck for my eyebrows.



Do any of you own this? If so what are your favourite colours??

Have a great day girls
