Beauty Blogger Tag

An easy one for today, I was recently tagged by the lovley Gemma from Lady Sapphire Blog. It's been a while since I did a tag and this seemed fun :)

1. Name a beauty routine you rarely do.

I rarely do anything with my hair, I'm just a complete newb when it comes to that sort of thing. Everything I try never goes that well, or it just does nothing. I recently tried curling my hair and withing an hour it was all back to straight. I'm just clueless.

2. Is washing your makeup brushes something you do regularly?

It was until last month I ran out of my natural shampoo that i used for cleaning them and I haven't found anything to replace them with but I'm keeping an eye out for anything that might work, if you have suggestions please let me know!
3. How long will you last with chipped nail varnish?

Probably until I get home and then maybe a few minutes (however long it takes to kick of my shoes and get the acetone out)
4. How long do you put off buying/replacing a beauty or nail polish product even if you need it (i.e. top coat, foundation, etc)?
I'll usually purchase something in preparation when I start getting low on something, my two weakness being blush and foundation which I will commonly buy even when I have no need of either one.
5. What is your worst beauty habit? 

Buying too many foundations and blushes that end up being put in a drawer and not used for ages until i remember about them (if I'm lucky). I really hate having stacks of unused products, it's especially difficult when I have replaced the product with something really good and don't really want to change. A great example is my Illamasqua Katie blush, I buy other blushes but in my heart of hearts don't really want to use anything else.

6. Name something non beauty related that you put off all the time?

Folding, I hate folding. I have piles of clothes lying around because my partner hates it too. I don't mind other house chores, just folding seems to endless and because we live in a tiny apartment it's really noticeable.
7. When going out somewhere do you leave getting ready to the last minute or not?

Not usually, depending on what's going of if i have the time then I will start getting ready about an hour before I need to leave because otherwise I get a bit anxious about what to wear or what products to use. for a night out I really like having the time to consider my options.

8. Can you commit to spending bans?

I've never tried, but that's because I largely suspect that I couldn't. Having said that I don't feel like I splurge very often, It's very rare for me to spend over $25/fortnight and anything high end is a real departure for me. If it's something I really want (like my hourglass blush or the naked pallete) I will save up for it.

9. How organized are your makeup and nail polish collections?

I have a small space to work with so it;s very organized but if I had more more space I could organize things much better.

10. What is the longest time you have gone without writing a blog post?

I like my blog posts to be organic and I feel like if i'm not feeling it, then no one reading is going to enjoy their experience so sometimes i'll do a post a day otherwise I might go two weeks without anything but I've never gone longer then that.

I tag you all!

10 Products I Would Repurchase or my Top Ten Favorite Items

So i was recently watching missglamorazzi when I came across this tag and though it sounded like fun. The basic idea is that if a magic fairy (as opposed to a non-magic one) stole all of your make up what would you 10 products would you repurchase. (after the heart palpations stop). So i thought about what my favorites in my stash are and here is the list i came up with:

#1 The Garnier Miracle oil-free BB cream

Can't start to redo my makeup without some sort of foundation and i know i can trust this product, i know it works for me and that it won't fade away, crease or oxidize on my skin.

#2 The Revlon Just Bitten Lip Balm Stains in Honey

Lip Products are always a bit of a secondary concern for me so i like something that lasts a lot and won't need a lot of effort or care on my part. Honey is my favorite neutral my lips but better shade.

#3 Lush Liquid Eyeshadow in Sophisticated

Again the easiest and fastest way to put on eyeshadow, one swipe and you have hours of beautiful neutral eyeshadow that can be used on it's own or as a base.

#4 NARS Orgasm Blush

I would not go back to any other blush as the NARS blushes are so fine that they beat any other powder blush out of the park.

# 5 Naked 2 Eyeshadow Pallet

For powder eyeshadow i don't think i can think of a single pallet that can been out the Naked pallet. I was skeptical to begin with but it's hard to argue with perfection.

# 6 Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze

Surprising amount of eye shadows, but my favorite is Bad the the Bronze as it's not too creamy like the the Cream and Pink but not as hard as the Taupe. Again a great by itself product or a base.

# 7 Nivea Lip Butter in Vanilla and Macadamia

I initally though that the caramel would be the one i loved the most but it can be a tad too sweet sometimes so i use this one before bed and in the morning. where as i carry the Caramel in my bag and use when I'm out and around. Lovely relaxing scent.

# 8 Face of Australia Budge Proof Gel Eyeliners

I talked about these recently and i would highly recommend this, it lasts an age and is amazingly easy to apply. Great for those like me who are terrible at eyeliner.

#9 L'Oreal Nude Magique BB Powder

The best powder i have come across, it's light and seems to disappear on my skin while still holding my makeup in place.

#10 MAC Star Violet Eyeshadow

No surprise here, i fell in love hard with this color and i would not happily give it up.

So what 10 products would you repurchase?
