Tag Thursday: 30 Beauty Questions
So this is fun! My Friend Ashley who has a lovely blog tagged me to do this 30 makeup questions and I'm doing it! I'm also going to tag a couple of my friends with blogs... Cristina and Alyssa.
1) Do You Remember Your First Makeup Item?
Probably those lip smacker glosses! Remember those in the 90s! They tasted amazing! I also remember getting a perfume from The Disney Store that had Cinderella on it. I always tried it on at the store and I called it "Try Me" because I just thought that was the name. When my parents got it for my birthday, I called it "My Me." I still like buying perfumes if Disney Store has any... just cause it reminds me of that. Lol.
2) Describe Your Perfect Mascara. Have you found one that fits your specifications?
I love the Bareminerals Lash Domination Mascara and the Ulta Amped Lashes. I like length and volume and I don't like smudging. Plus I have sensitive eyes... so really not many mascaras work for me besides those 2.
3) What Kind of Coverage Do You Prefer From Foundation?
I like light coverage. Sometimes I want something more full like the Too Faced Born This Way... which isn't the fullest of coverage but still nice. I don't like anything too unnatural looking or too matte.
4) Favorite High End Brand
Probably Too Faced. Bareminerals and Urban Decay are up there too.
5) What Cosmetic Brand Have You Always Wanted to Try But Haven't?
I'd love to try Sleek or Kiko. I also kind of want to try more Mac, because I really don't have much... other than that the only brands I don't buy are brands like Jeffree Star... which I've mentioned not really wanting to buy from but its not like I'm not interested in his products... and super expensive brands that I just can't see myself buying. Something like Dior... I don't need that lol.
6) Favorite Drugstore Brand?
I love Elf! Maybelline is usually good for me too. Nyx is great.
7) Do You Wear Fake Eyelashes?
No. My lashes are pretty long naturally and since I have sensitive eyes I've never felt like it was worth it.
8) Is there any kind of makeup you can't leave the house without?
Nah. I'm an all-or-nothing makeup wearer. I don't like putting one thing on and then neglecting the rest of my face.
9) What is your most cherished beauty product?
Hmm... probably that damn Peach Palette! It was just so much fun to get, and its a nice palette. It probably isn't my favorite but I love it. I also really love the Buxum Palette that I made. I'm happy with how that looks. And anything from Nars just cause that's my fancy "What's this chick doing with Nars shit" stuff. Lol.
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?
I'm trying to get away from the "an item here or there." and more into the "an item here... or there." I need to space out how I buy things a little better cause I've just got a lot now.
15. Do You Avoid Certain Ingredients in Cosmetics like Parabens and Sulfates?
Not really... I try to buy Cruelty Free. I'll only buy a few brands of mascara and eyeliner because I have sensitive eyes and if something like the Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara gets in my eyelids... it can be bad.
16. Do you have a favorite place to shop for makeup?
Ulta! I just love their reward points and they carry most all of the brands I love. I used to like shopping at Target... but my Target needs to seriously take care of their beauty section because its a mess!
17. Do you like trying new skincare products or do you stick to a certain routine?
I kind of stopped trying too many new products after discovering the Purity Face Cleanser because I got a sample of that for free from sephora, and that just worked really well for me and for the most part I've been sticking to what I like. I'll change a moisturizer or a mask and sometimes I use different things to exfoliate... but I don't really seek out anything other than my favorite skincare products. Its more of a "if its in a sample kit/ target box I'll try it." Or Influenster, point perks or freebies... stuff like that. I know sephora has a new skincare kit out, I'm thinking of trying that.
18. Favorite Bath and Body Brand?
Bath and Body Works. I always get their stuff because they have amazing sales. I like Whish, Soap and Glory and there is one caress scent I really like too. Philosophy too! So many good ones... but Bath and Body Works is #1.
19. If you could only buy from one brand, which would you choose?
Hmmm... this is tough. I'd say Too Faced, but then I couldn't use mascara. I'm going to say Urban Decay maybe? I'm not sure if their mascaras would work for me, but they have good make up across the board. I think I could get a good look with all UD Products. Which is weird because I don't even have too much from Urban Decay... but I think it would be okay.
20. What Brand Do You Think Has The Best Packaging?
Too Faced is definitely the cutest... but its very impractical... so I'm gonna say The Balm.
21. What celebrity always has the best makeup?
Adele probably hands down. I also love June Diane Raphael's makeup on Grace and Frankie. That show has great makeup. There are probably other people I'm forgetting.
22. Do You Belong To Any Makeup Communities?
Yes! What's Up in Makeup, 6543,two one makeup, the Tati App... just my personal friends too we talk about makeup a lot. Lol.
23. Favorite Beauty Gurus.
Emilynoel83. I'll watch pretty much every one of her videos.
24. Do You Like Multifunctional products like Lip and Cheek Stains?
I don't like Lip and Cheek Stains... but I love all in one palettes. Or anything from The Balm and things like that. Their cheek products work great on the eyes.
25. Are You clumsy at putting on makeup?
I don't think there is anything I'm not clumsy at.
26. Do You use Makeup Base/Primer for Eyes?
Yes. I always use a primer!
27. How Many Hair Products Do You Use on a Typical Day?
5.
28.What do you apply first, Concealer or foundation?
Foundation
29. Do You Ever Consider Taking Makeup Classes?
Not really. I don't think I'd like putting makeup on other people, so it doesn't make sense to do it just for me.
30. What Do You Love About Makeup?
It's something to do in the morning. I just like doing it, its a fun process. I like talking about it, reviewing it... stuff like that.

11. Do you have a “beauty budget” or you spend freely?
Depends. "Do you have money? Yes! Is there makeup you want? Yes. Do you have other responsibilities that are more important than makeup? Maybe. Are you still going to buy that makeup? Probably." That's my budget. Lol.
12. Do you utilize coupons, rewards cards, and sales when you shop for cosmetics?
Yes! I try to shop at Ulta when I can because they have the best reward system for me... and I try not to buy anything full priced unless I have a gift card or Ulta points or something. I also like knowing which stores have the best prices. Usually Target, Harmon, or Wall Mart are better priced than CVS. But then you have to factor the selection of makeup and your willingness to go to Wall Mart... which for me is not that willing. I love a good Wall Mart... I don't live near a good wall mart.
13. What type of product do you buy the most of?
Lip products I think!
14. Is there a brand you absolutely can't stand?
I'm not a huge fan of Becca. I like their products, but I think they're overpriced for what they are and I didn't like the issues with the Jaclyn Hill palette. I've never tried Morphe either... but they haven't really appealed to me either. 15. Do You Avoid Certain Ingredients in Cosmetics like Parabens and Sulfates?
Not really... I try to buy Cruelty Free. I'll only buy a few brands of mascara and eyeliner because I have sensitive eyes and if something like the Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara gets in my eyelids... it can be bad.

Omg I died on your "Budget" comment! I'm pretty sure that is most everyone's thoughts on their budget!
