In the interest of getting more into blogging I thought I would give another tag a go! I saw this one on http://beautifullyglossy.blogspot.com.au, so here it goes!
1. What is your favorite drugstore makeup brand?Hmmm it would have to be out of either Rimmel or Maybelline. I really can't choose between them!
2. What are your favorite face, cheek and lip products?
Face: Australis True Translucent Finishing Powder. This powder is AMAZING it matte-ifies your foundation and makes it last all day and it's totally translucent so it doesn't effect the colour of your face. All that and it's super cheap!!
Cheek: Lately I've been loving the Rimmel Match perfection blush in light. I talked about this in a recent haul and have really been loving it over the past couple of weeks. Because there are three different shades in the one blush I have been using the lightest shade as a highlight and the mixing all three as a blush. It gives great colour payoff and a very reasonable price compared to other blushes in Australia.
Lip: Maybelline Colour sensational Lipstick in Pink Freeze. I have mentioned this a couple of times before and it is my favourite shade of al time!
3. Least favorite product?
That's a hard one, I haven't come across a lot of makeup products that I really hate as I try to do my research before I buy anything. One product I haven't been all that impressed by is the Rimmel BB cream. I have't used it many times but so far I don't think it really gives enough coverage for me.
4. What is the best makeup bargain? Essence Stay With Me Lipgloss!!! These are amazing! You can read my full review here. But in short they give amazing colour payoff and are only around $4, which is AMAZING in Australia!
5. What is your favorite underdog product?
Once again the Essence lipgloss! I really don't think they get anywhere near enough attention in the beauty world because they really are awesome for the price.
6. A drugstore product that is overpriced?
Haha all makeup is overpriced in Australia but probably the worst is Loreal.
7. Show your best drugstore dupe(s)!!
I don't really own any high end products so I have no idea.
8. Drugstore product that isn't worth the hype?
Maybelline lip butters. They're nice but they are definitely not worth $20. The colour payoff isn't great and I didn't even think they made my lips feel any more moist or soft. I don't understand why people love them soooo much!
I saw this tag on 'Beauty Down Under' and thought I would give it a go, maybe you will learn something new about me. :) I know I'm not an established beauty blog yet, but I hope to be one day, so it could be interesting for me to do this tag again when I've been blogging for longer and see if anything has changed!!
So here goes:
How many hours a week do you spend planning/writing/uploading posts?
I don't really keep track of it, I really just blog when I feel like it or when I have a new idea. I suppose each post takes around an hour taking/finding photos, editing them, writing and then working on the layout for a bit.
Are you a spender or a saver
Definitely a spender!!! It's really, really, really bad!!! I always tell myself I'm going to save more and stop shopping so much but it never lasts long. Online shopping has definitely become my biggest frenemy!!
When is it easiest for you to write your posts?
I really just do it when ever I feel like it. It's usually better if I write it ASAP after I get an idea, otherwise I tend to either forget or over-think it and convince myself i's a terrible idea. Blogging is really a spontaneous thing for me at the moment.
What makes writing posts comfortable for you?
I just really love writing and web design etc. I'm studying journalism at University, so it really just comes naturally. It's what I love to do!
What's your worst make up/hair habit?
Not getting my hair trimmed enough. I can just never be bothered and I always seem to find something more fun to spend my money on. I am very good at convincing myself that it doesn't really need to be trimmed, when it really, really, really does need it. (Like now!! haha it's been a while!)
What's one quote you wish the world would live by?"The probability that we may fail in the struggle need not to deter us from the support of a cause we believe to be just"
- Abraham Lincoln
How long do you spend getting ready everyday?
At least an hour and a half. It's terrible, I know, but I'm just so indecisive.
What's your favourite post on your blog?
Hmmm.... that's a good question. I think probably my October Favourites. It was my first time writing a post like that and it made me feel like I was a real blogger. Haha I don't know it just made me really excited to get this blog up and running!
Who is a beauty blogger that you think deserves more subscribers than they have?
http://animatedconfessions.blogspot.com
I like her. But like I say, I am new to this world so I don't follow all that many blogs.
What's one thing you're excited about in the coming year?
I am going to Europe in 6 weeks!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited!! Paris, Rome, Florence, Venice, London, Amsterdam, Heidelberg.... I CAN"T WAIT!!! Also, graduating University this time next year! :)
What's been your favourite blogging moment?
Getting my first follower. I only have two, but I'm just glad those two people actually want to read my blog!! I can only hope there are more to come!
How long does it take to prep for a post?
I don't really prep, like I said it's fairly spontaneous! I just get an idea and off I go!!
Are you wearing jeans/skirt right now or are you wearing pajama bottoms?
Pyjamas!!! hahaha!!!
What are you most proud of in your life?
Finishing high school and going to University. I was the first person in my family to do that so that feels pretty awesome!
I TAG EVERYONE!!!! :)
If you do the tag, leave a link to it in the comments, I'd love to read yours!! :)
Until next time :) xx
