I came across this on Twitter courtesy of Stephanie @stephanieswoger and was directed to her blog (http://stephanieloveshermakeup.blogspot.com)where she completed her tag, and where she found on Emily`s site: www.beautybroadcast.net an amazing beauty guru and blogger.
So here is my attempt of trying to honestly answer my version of The Beauty Blogger Tag:
1. Is your hair naturally curly or straight?
Naturally straight. I have braided, twisted, folded, curled, rolled, heat damaged and did everything in my power to make it curly and finally accepted it and figured out a way to be able to wear it straight and with loose curls (Thank you flat iron) :)
2. Do you dye it yourself or go to a salon?
I used to go to the salon a lot when foil highlights were the trend, but for the past few years I have been box colouring and it has worked out quite well.
3. Do you wear the same style everyday, or do you change it?
It depends on the occasion. My everyday style is pretty casual, but when needed I love to wear bright colours, accessories, heels and of course have fun with my hair and makeup.
4. Do you do your own mani/pedi or go to a salon?
I do my own nails but for a big event I will get my nails done. Really loving the gel based manicures :)
5. How often do you change your nail polish?
Twice a week.
6. Do you polish your toes in the winter or just the summer?
I polish in all seasons. For the winter I will do more deep/dramatic hues and in the Summer I will choose very bright shades.
7. How long does it take for you to put on makeup?
My everyday makeup can take 10 minutes. For special events, I will take longer to ensure the look and feel is perfect. About half an hour tops.
8. What do you do first-face or eyes?
I do my eyes first, then I will do my face & cheeks. Then I go back to finish up the eyes with eyeliner, mascara and then finish with lips.
9. Do you collect makeup or just buy what you need when you need it?
I am a self proclaimed makeup hoarder. Now I will buy and get what I need, but the temptation is always there LOL.
10. How often do you wear false eyelashes?
Rarely, again for very special occasions.
11. Do you do a full face of makeup everyday?
I have my 5 minute full face and then my Full on face for a night out.
12. Do you wear makeup when you're home alone or with family?
Sometimes I will put on makeup if I am creating an eye shadow look for the blog, when I am at home with family. It is very typical for my family to see me with two different makeup looks on my eyes and no one reacts since it is the norm with me.
13. Will you leave the house without makeup?
I have left the house with both, with and without. It took a very long time to feel comfortable in my own skin and not to reach for the eyeliner or lipstick before I left the house.
14. How many high-end products do you have?
I would say a fair amount of my products are mid range, with a few exceptions every once in awhile.
15. Do you plan your OOTD every night or decide when you're getting dressed?
Usually I will plan the morning of, but for special events I will plan in advance, from the clothes, accessories, the makeup look and hair.
16. How often do you change your handbag?
During the week is my standard bag, but for weekends I will change it depending on my mood. A pain in the Arse, but again it is an extension of accessorizing.
17. What time do you wake up and go to sleep?
Naturally straight. I have braided, twisted, folded, curled, rolled, heat damaged and did everything in my power to make it curly and finally accepted it and figured out a way to be able to wear it straight and with loose curls (Thank you flat iron) :)
