30 Beauty Questions Tag

Hey Guys
And welcome back to my blog, Today's post is a 30 Beauty Questions Tag. I thought it would be a fun little tag to do. 

So lets get in to this post......
1. Do you remember your first makeup item?
I do actually, I got a concealer by Rimmel London, even now after wearing make up since I was 14, it is the one product that I will constantly buy.

2. Describe your perfect mascara. Have you found one that fits your specifications?
I don't look for anything in particular in a mascara, I will always try different mascara's and if I find something that I like then I keep using it. Currently I am loving the one by Rimmel and Kate Moss have done together.

3. What kind of coverage do you prefer from foundation?
I like a buildable foundation, because I have bad acne scaring, I like one that will cover it but also let me build it up

4. Favorite high end brand?
I have only tried Urban Decay's Naked 3 Pallet and the Setting Spray, so I would have to say Urban Decay, because I haven't tried anything else




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

6. Favourite drugstore brand?
Rimmel London. Out if all drugstore brands Rimmel is the one that have the most products that work well with my skin type, skin tone. 

7. Do you wear false eyelashes?
I have never have, I dont know why, its just one of those products that I feel that wouldnt suit me all that well

8. Is there any kind of makeup you can't leave the house without?
The whole thing, I am very self consious, and feel that when I do my makeup it gives me that little bit more confidence. I dont wear a lot of makeup, but it gives me the confidence I need

9. What is your most cherished beauty product?
My makeup brushes, I did a post about them. They have changed the way that my makeup looks. 

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?
When ever I am out and about running errands, doing my weekly shop I will always look at the beauty section just to see if there is anything that I may want to try out. If there is only one product that I buy or if there is a lot, then I will get them, and sometimes I will not get any

11. Do you have a "beauty budget" or do you spend freely?
I kind of have both, apart from 2 products that I own everything else that I own is all drugstore, I haven't tried any high end products, for the simple fact that 'Can I justify spending x amount on a foundation/eyeshadow what ever it may be when I know that the drugstore have products that work well for me' but when I go to the drugstore I do sepnd a little more freely but within a budget.

12. Do you utilize coupons, reward cards and sales when you shop for cosmetics?
I am going to break it down into each bit, to make it more easy to understand,

• Flyers; In my apartment buliding we get a weekly bundle of flyers on a Thursday of all the deals that start on the Friday, I will always check to see if there are any deals for the Superstore and Walmart (Superstore is where I get my groceries and most of the time my beauty items and Walmart is Walmart and is in the same vasinity of the superstore)
• Coupons: When I walk in to the superstore they have a wall of coupons, I will always look to see if they have any makeup, hair care, body care,  coupons on there, the occasional time they will have a really good deal so I will pick up 2 of each, and utilize them on products
• Sales: If an Item at the superstore is on sale they will have a yellow sticker with the new price, how much you save, but what you have to look at is what shade it is , or what kind of mascara, because they tend to put on sale the products that arent selling quite as well as the others in the same line, even though they are the same products just a different shade,
• Reward Cards: At the superstore they have a rewards card that can be used throuh out the whole store, where you can get points on almost anything and everything at some point or another. One time if you spent over $25 on any beauty products you would get 2500 points, which if you do it right you can almost get a full face of make up. The points will start piling up, because you have gotten food and other things that have points, and then at some point you can start using your points to pay for things

13. What type of product do you buy the most of?
I don't think that I buy the most of one product, If I need something I will get it, but I will get faze's of buying lots of Mascara's, then concealers, etc so I wouldn't say that I buy any particular product more then any other

14. Is there a brand that you absolutely can't stand?
Cover Girl, I had a really bad reaction to one of the foundations, and I have always found a product that works for me








15. Do you avoid certain ingredients in cosmetics like parabens or sulfates?
Honestly I have never really looked in to it that much, to really understand it to avoid it. 

16. Do you have a favorite place to shop for makeup?
I am a big drugstore person. The only High End product that I have tried is Urban Decay Naked 3 Pallet, but my thing is why would I buy high end products when I have products from Drugstore that work so well for me

17. Do you like trying new skincare products or do you keep to a certain routine?
I keep to a certain routine, It works really well for me at the moment, so until the day it doesn't work I will change but right now it is working really well

18. Favorite bath & body brand?
I love Nivea. They have amazing, bath and body products that smell amazing. 

19. If you could only buy from one brand, which would you choose?
This is such an easy one for me, Rimmel London, a large majority of the products from Rimmel work so well for me, I love almost all of the products, and they are so well packaged and priced for drugstore,

20. What brand do you think has the best packaging?
Rimmel London, I love the packaging on the Wake me up foundation, the glass bottle the shape of it etc. other brands have good packaging but Rimmel have blown it out the water with there packaging. Its not just the wake me up foundation, I love the packaging of the lipsticks, Mascara's, everything

21. Which celebrity always has great makeup?

Coleen Rooney

Coleen Rooney and Victoria Beckham are my two all time favorite celebritys, their makeup is always on point, their fashion. They both have fragrances I love. But their makeup is always so flawless



22. Do you belong to any online makeup communities?
I wouldnt say that I do belong to any makeup communities, I watch different kinds of beauty gurus on youtube, read different beauty blogs, but I wouldnt say that I belong to any of them

23. Five favorite beauty gurus?

Chanel Boateng,Zoe from MammafulZo, Laura from What Laura Loves. There are so many more people that I really like, but I love watching and reading people who dont have millions of subscribers that should

24. Do you like multi-functional products like lip and cheek stains?
Not really, but then it also depends on the product, something like a cheek stain freaks me out going anywhere near my lips, the same with eye shadows, but when I was younger I would put concealer on my lips, because when I was a teen that was all the rage, but for the most part now if its for my cheeks then i will use it for me cheeks, if its for my lips then its going on my lips

25. Are you clumsy at putting on makeup?
When I am using something that I have never used before then yes I am very clumsy, but over time getting used to the product, I normally get quite good at it.

26. Do you use makeup base/primer for the eyes?
I do sometimes. If I am going to wear eye shadow, but I don't wear eye shadow everyday, 

27. How many hair products do you use on a typical day?
Quite a few. between 2 and 10 products depending on the day and what I do that day to my hair.

28. What do you apply first, concealer or foundation?
Foundation, It covers the majority and then when Foundation is done I know roughly where I need to put concealer

29. Do you ever consider taking makeup classes?
I would. There is so much that I don't know how to do and I would love to learn how to do different looks, etc

30. What do you love about makeup?
There is so many different things I love about Makeup. The fact that everyday I get to create a look that is slightly different to the one that I created the day before, and that tomorrows look will be different again.  No day is ever alike.
