Beauty Scenario Tag! ♡

1. You have to get rid of all your foundations and you can only keep one high end and one drugstore, which do you keep?

This is pretty easy for me. 

For high end, I would choose Estēe Lauder, Double Wear Foundation because it offers amazing coverage and stays put all day. It is also pretty easy to find a colour that matches you because there are so many. (Over 20 I believe) 

For drugstore, I would choose the L'oréal Infallible 24hr Foundation as it sits really nicely on the skin and gives a nice natural look whilst adding plenty of coverage too. (I would say about a medium) 

 

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

This is tricky because if it was the other way round, I would want somebody to tell me, however in an interview situation it may be quite awkward. Especially if there are others in the room too so I would say... Probably not! 

3. You’re not feeling yourself and need a pick me up. Which lipstick do you put on to make yourself feel beautiful?

This one is pretty easy for me. I would 100% recommend MAC's Ruby Woo if you are feeling down as it instantly makes you feel gorgeous! The colour is so bright and fierce and is an instant pick me up! 

Who doesn't love a bold red lip? 

4. You go back in time for a day to your teenage years, how would you do your hair and makeup differently?

I would definitely grow my hair out because I always had short hair and I don't think it ever suited me. Now that I am growing it out, I looooove having longer hair. Saying that I would also tell myself to use more hair oils because they really do help. (Argan and coconut oil are amazing!!) 

In terms of makeup, I would encourage myself to buy proper makeup brushes because I always used to use my fingers and to invest in a primer to make my makeup last longer! 

5. You ask your hairdresser for a shoulder length Pixie Lott hair cut, but they hear wrong and give you a pixi cut. Do you a) Smile, say thank you, leave and call your mum hysterical b) Cry in the chair and things get awkward or c) Complain to the manager and demand a refund.

I am a wimp so I'd go with A! I always hate having my hair cut because I'm trying to grow it long so any length they cut off is soul destroying! 

6. Your friend surprises you with a 4 day city break and you have 1 hour to pack. Which ‘do it all’ palette do you pack in your makeup bag?

I only really have one 'do it all' palette and that is this one by MUA. 

It has eyeshadows, blushes, a bronzer and a highlighter so what more could you want? It's also super cheap too. 

7. Your house has been robbed, don’t worry everyone is safe, but your beauty stash has been raided. What’s the product you really hope is safe?

My naked palette!! It's my baby! 

8. Your friend borrows your makeup and returns it in awful condition. Do you a) Just pretend you haven’t noticed b) Ask them to repurchase it or c) Secretly do the same to something of theirs

I would keep all my anger bottled up and go with A!

Make-Up Questions Tag!!! Brands, Make-Up Crimes, Favourite Lipstick, Primers, Skin Types and MORE!! ♡

Since i'm quite new to blogging, I thought I would do a beauty tag so you can get to know me more. This is a tag I found going around on some beauty blogs so I thought I would give it a go.

How many times do you wash your face daily?

TWICE! I used to only use face wash once a day but now I just feel gross if I don't wash it twice. (Morning and Evening)

What skin type do you have? (dry, oily or combination)

I have combination skin :) 

What is your current facial wash?

I change my face wash all the time. I like to use the Clinique skin care sets however recently i've been using a face wash from simple to save a bit of money.

Do you exfoliate?

Occasionally which is so bad I know... oh the shame!

What brand do you use?

I love Lush because they have really nice face masks and some of them are really good at exfoliating the skin.

What moisturiser do you use? 

At the moment I am using one from the Nivea essentials line for oily/combination skin.

Do you have freckles?

I don't have freckles, however I do have 3 Beauty spots on my face. 

Do you use eye cream?

Yes! I couldn't live without eye cream. I am using the Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Eye Cream at the moment as my eyes currently need some loving. 

Do you or did you have acne prone skin?

Yes I do and it SUCKS! 

Did you ever use ProActiv?

I don't think I have ever seen that here in the UK, however I have heard very mixed reviews on it. 

What foundation do you use?

Currently I am using the L'oréal Infallible 24hr foundation :)

How about concealer?

I love using Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in Fair (to REALLY brighten my eyes) and also the Rimmel Wake Me Up (not sure what shade because it's rubbed off but probably the lightest one) 

Do you know your undertone colour?

Yes I do. I got matched at a counter and the lady said I am Neutral which means I can wear either Yellow or Pink foundations however Yellow suits me more so I always opt for that. 

What do you think of fake eyelashes?

I think they can really enhance an eye look, however I personally don't like wearing them. 

Did you know that you are supposed to change your mascara every 3 months?

Yes I did and I am pretty sure I have never used one for up to 3 months because I am always buying new ones BUT I so keep old ones in my draws for ages so I should probably throw some out. 

What brand of mascara do you use?

Benefit or Maybelline. At the moment it is Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara that I am using. 

Sephora or Mac?

Never been to Sephora (UK problems) so i'll say MAC

Do you have a MAC Pro-Card?

No I do not. 

What make-up tools do you use in make-up application?

I love RealTechniques brushes to apply my makeup. They are amazing and reasonably priced. 

Do you use make-up base/primer for the eyes?

I barely wear eyeshadow anymore but when I do I use one from TooFaced or one of my Maybelline 24hr Colour Tattoo's 

For the face?

YES ALWAYS!! I used to never wear a primer on my face but now I just CAN'T DO IT! I LOVE the Lumi Magique Base from L'Oréal. 

What is your favourite eye shadow? (Colour or Shade)

I don't have a specific colour but I am loving the Naked Palette. If i had to choose a Colour/Shade, anything that's Bronze/Gold. 

Do you use pencil or liquid eye-liner?

Liquid on my lash line and pencil on my water line. (usually a nude colour or white on my waterline to really open up my eyes)

How often do you poke your eyes with an eye liner pencil?

Never with a pencil (touches wood) but I am always doing it with mascara wands. 

What do you think of pigment eye shadows?

I don't think i've ever used a pigment but in videos i've watched, they look stunning!

Do you use mineral make-up? 

I've used bareminerals well-rested powder for under my eyes and I love that but that's it for mineral makeup.

What is your favourite lipstick?

MAC - Korean Candy (Sheen Supreme)

How about lip gloss? 

I never wear lip gloss anymore but if I had to choose one, NARS and Benefit are my favourites. 

What is your favourite blush?

Benefit - Dandelion

Do you buy make-up on e-bay?

NEVER. I bought Benefit and MAC makeup once which turned out to be fake. (they filled a mascara with PAINT so be careful when buying online as you can seriously harm yourself. Luckily I didn't)

Do you like drug store make-up?

YES I do. I went through a faze recently where I only wore high end makeup but there really are some amazing products out there for a quarter of the price of high end. 

Do you go to CCO's? (Cosmetic Company Outlets)

I don't think we have many of those in the UK. Nope.

Did you ever consider taking make-up classes?

Yes I have. I was considering doing a Television Make-Up Course but instead I went and did a Media Degree instead. 

Are you clumsy in putting on make-up?

Generally no but when it comes to eye makeup and eye liner etc, that's a big fat yes! 

Name a make-up crime that you hate?

Errr I'm not sure what a makeup crime is? haha. I'd say maybe not washing your brushes regularly and not throwing out makeup but then again I do that so.... awkward. 

Do you like colourful shades of make-up (lipstick, eye shadow) or neutral tones?

I love colourful lipsticks!

Which celebrity always has great make-up?

 Kylie Jenner and Lorde are my favourite and also Taylor Swift. 

If you could leave the house with just ONE Make-up item, what would you use?

AHHH this is SO hard! Can I not pick three? Brows, Mascara and Foundation. 

Could you ever leave the house without any make-up on?

Yes and I have done before when I was desperate for a McDonald's Breakfast (I wouldn't have made it if I had waited and done my makeup) but if I had the choice I probably wouldn't. 

Do you think you look good even without any make-up on?

I always like to think I am a very positive person and whilst I do feel comfortable being myself, I do get anxiety and paranoia when it comes to looking good without makeup. One part of me doesn't really care what others think of me without any makeup on and the other half is screaming how bad I look. It's 50/50 but I think the media is hugely to blame because I used to never feel self-conscious about things like this and my friends are all super pretty. 

In your opinion, what is the BEST make-up line?

 If I had to choose one, I would pick Rimmel. 

What do you think of Make-up?

I love makeup if you wear it for the right reasons.
