Today I’m linking up with The Blended Blog to answer these beauty questions…I’m sure you are dying to know my answers! LOL! I may not wear a ton of make-up every day, and while I love trying new things, once I find something I love I am hard-core loyal. 🙂 If you ever wanted to know what type of lip balm is my favorite, read on…
- Eyelash Curler- yes or no?
No way! I have never owned an eyelash curler and I figure if I’ve lived this long without one I certainly am not going to start now. The fact is that I rarely take off all my makeup at the end of the day (once I get those brows on just right, I’ll be darned if I’m going to start fresh every single day! haha!). I can only imagine what a nightmare it would be to try and curl lashes that have 2-3 day old mascara on them!
2. Favorite Nail Shade?
I go back and forth between pale and darker colors, but right now I’m loving Essie’s Ballet Slippers (in case you didn’t know this is THE color the Queen of England wears, so it must be special, right?? 🙂
3. Favorite Lipstick Shade?
I mentioned I’m loyal right? I’ve been using Trish McEvoy Essential Lip Pencil for years! I love how you can use them down to a nub! Here’s my Full Review if you are interested.
4. Blow Dry or Air dry?
Oh my gosh! Air dry all the way!! I can’t imagine blow drying my own hair. I just don’t have the patience for that. My current hair routine involves letting it air dry (and wear it curly for that day). Next day I brush it out and flat iron it. I wash only about once a week so my flat ironing lasts a decent amount of time. Copious amounts of dry shampoo are involved as well. 🙂
5. Artificial Nails- Yes or No?
Natural nails for the win. For a while I was getting gel manicures but as soon as any of the edges starts to peel up, I MUST pick at it, which pulls it off and once one nail is off I have to pick at all the others. As you can imagine this isn’t the healthiest nail routine. So instead I paint them myself. I keep my nails super short and enjoy switching out the color roughly once a week.
6. Foundation- Yes or No?
Nope- I can’t be bothered.
7. Hair up or Hair down?
Mostly down. My hair has thinned considerably so if I wear it up it makes me look practically bald! So most often it is down and straight.
8. Bar Soap or Body Wash?
Bar Soap. I’ve used Caress FOR.EVER. I love the smell and its not drying. Plus it’s cheap and lasts such a long time.
9. Bath or Shower?
If I could get away without taking another shower in my life, I’d be perfectly happy. I detest showers. I only take them to wash my hair. I LOVE baths…give me some smelly bubble bath and a book and I’ll see you in an hour! Now my tub in my new house sucks which inhibits my bath enjoyment. But someday I’ll swap that sucker out and be right back to my everyday bath routine.
10. Favorite Body Lotion?
Talk about boring! Cetaphil is not the fanciest lotion out there but the fact is that nothing works better on my dry skin. I buy it in bulk from Costco.
11. Do You Wear Perfume? If so, What’s Your favorite Scent?
Nah. I’m super sensitive to smells. Nothing makes me nauseous faster than someone who has bathed in the favorite perfume. Blech! Occasionally I will rub on some scented lotion but that’s as close as I get to perfume.
12. Do You Shave Your Legs Everyday?
Pretty much everyday. I can’t stand prickly legs, especially if they rub against each other while I’m trying to go to sleep…ugh! I cannot fall asleep with stabby legs. If it’s been a day without a bath or shower I might slather on some Cetaphil (just on the insides of my legs mind you) and run a razor over just so I can fall asleep! LOL! Doesn’t anyone else do this?? Anyone??
13. Favorite Lip Balm?
Good ‘Ole fashion Chapstick. The moisturizing kind. I put this on every night before bed.
14. How Old Were You When You First Started Wearing Make-up?
I suspect I was in 7th grade or so. I would imagine I started with just lip gloss you know like these…
I LOVED those silly little slide containers! By 9th grade I had added blue eyeshadow (it was the 80’s you know!) and a touch of blush to my lip gloss routine.
Thanks for reading my answers to those most burning Beauty Questions!
Have a Happy Tuesday!
