“Get to Know Me” | TAG | Spring 2014

Hey There Beauty Cuties!

I was tagged a few months back by the lovely http://chloinmind.wordpress.com/ and have finally decided to do it! It’s really fun and has some great questions, so let’s begin!

GettoknowmeTAG

Is your hair naturally curly or straight? My hair is naturally curly, and frizzy. I love curly hair but it can get quite knotty and tangled!

Do you wear the same style every day, or do you change it? I think this is referring to fashion, in which I change my style up quite a bit! Sometimes I’m in more of a floral feel, but other times I’m feeling edgy and punk.

How often do you change your nail polish? I usually change my nail polish up twice a week!

How long does it take for you to put on makeup? It takes me about 15-20 minutes to put on my makeup on in the morning!

What do you do first? Face or eyes? I do my eyes first, as all I wear on my face is concealer and powder.

How often do you wear false eyelashes? I’ve only warn them once, so very rarely!

Do you do a full face of makeup every day? No, I don’t even own foundation! But I do usually wear full eye makeup.

Do you wear makeup when you’re home alone or with family? Usually no, however sometimes I like to experiment crazy looks!

How many high-end products do you have? Hmmm, I don’t really know!

How often do you change your handbag? Every few months!

What time do you wake up and go to sleep? I usually go to sleep around 9-10 pm and wakeup up at 6:33 (Yes, that exact time!)

Left handed or right handed? I’m a righty 😉

How tall are you? Right now I’m 5’4 and a half (But being a teen, I’m still growing!)

How many pets do you have? I have four! I have three chihuahuas and one cat.

How do you blog? This question slightly confuses me, but I blog by writing something that I think of, taking pictures, then posting it!

Do you read comments posted on blogs? Yes!

How did you come up with your blog name? I was really stumped about a name and then this just suddenly came to me!

What kind of camera do you use for your photographs? I use my iPhone 4!

What’s your favourite colour? I don’t have one favourite colour, I have many!: Blush, mint, peach, burgundy, lilac, and turquoise.

Hope you enjoyed this tag!

“Spring Has Sprung” TAG

Hey There Beauty Cuties!

I recently saw the lovely Youtuber “BeautyBySiena” do the ‘Spring has Sprung’ tag and I really enjoyed it, so I decided to do it too!

SPRINGHASSPRUNG

What are some spring trends you’re looking forward to the most?

I’m really looking forwards to pineapples and palm trees for graphics and  kimonos and joggers for articles of clothing!

Whats your favorite spring clothing piece?

My favourites spring clothing pieces would have to be either my floral kimono or my crochet/lace cream shorts!

What do you do during your spring break?

I had a stay-cation full of Netflix bingeing! Teehee 😉

Is it warm or cold during spring where u live?

Indeed! I still have snow *cue sad face*

Whats your favorite spring lip color?

I’m a pink-lip girl all year round, so definitely pinks. I’ve been loving my Nyx Butter Lipstick in ‘Fun Size’.

Favorite spring nail polish color?

Mint! Rimmel’s ‘Mintilicious’ has been my go-to. I’ve already painted my nails that colour four times!

Favorite spring color?

Hmm..so many to choose! Mint, blush, peach, periwinkle, and lilac (I’m a pastel gal!)

Favorite Starbucks drink during spring?

I love frappuccino’s! The vanilla bean one with a shot of caramel is my fav.

Sometimes, though I do usually stick to natural makeup. I do like to switch it up every now and then with colourful liner or pastel shadows!

11 Questions Asked By beautylovesuk.blogspot.co.uk 

1. If you had to go back in time and give advice to your younger self, what would it be?

I would tell my younger self to stop stressing and be more calm. I am always very busy and I always try to stay calm but sometimes I do get stressed and I was when I was younger. And to also work very hard to get what I want to achieve. No one else but yourself it going to advocate for yourself when it all comes down to it, you have to work hard and push to achieve your dreams.

2. What is your guilty pleasure?

Friends the tv show. I love it!!  I am always found quoting it 🙂 That and watching beauty videos on YouTube.

3. Why did you start blogging?

I started to blog because I always loved writing & beauty so I decided to blog. I always felt like a beauty blogger and sometimes forgot I wasn’t before I started my blog. I loved the community and wanted to be a part of it.

4.  What’s the best opportunity you’ve gained from Blogging?

So much! Just being able to write and share my passion is so amazing. Being connected with people that share the same passion and really being able to give advice and get advice from other people it really the best thing I’ve gained from blogging. Some other opportunity has just recently opened up because of blogging which I am very excited about but I cannot share yet.

6. What are your go-to beauty products?

My Nivea Lip Butter in Vanilla & Macadamia. I really have no clue where my lips would be without it. It smells amazing & moisturizing amazingly. For lip colour, Rimmel always impresses. I am currently loving their lipstick in “Vintage Pink”. For cheeks, I love Elf’s Studio Blush in Candid Coral. Seriously it’s so amazing and only 3$. And of course any Maybelline mascara! As far as eyeshadow goes, Naked Basics from Urban Decay rocks!

7. Which reality tv program do you wish you were a part if?

Ooh. Good question! Definitely not Keeping up with the Kardashians. I would say Cake Boss!

8. Which celebrity do you style yourself upon?

I don’t really style myself upon anyone one though I love Karine Vanasse’s makeup. And Selena Gomez!

9. Makeup, shoes, or bags? (If you had to choose one)

I’m confused with this question because I’m unsure of if she means a collection or just having it becaus shoes are a necessity so you don’t step on anything. I’m assuming she means collection or buying expensive items of some sort so I guess makeup. I can live without expensive shoes & bags.

Tag: 4 Hair Tips You’ll Love!

Hello Ladies and Gents!

Here are some hair tips and tricks I live by!

image

1) Do you have flyaways, frizz and need some shine? I have the answer! Lotion. Yes…Lotion. Lotion, when applied to my long, curly, frizzy hair it tames flyaway and frizz, as well as adding some shine! Right now I use “Nirvae Botanicals Orange and Sandalwood Lotion” that I got from a hotel, but I have no clue which hotel, I travel a lot! 😀

image

2) Want to change your hair without a haircut? Use a clip! I find it gives a more modern, fresh look compared to your usual ponytail or bun! (Mine is from Ardene: http://www.ardene.com/en/accessories/hair/hair-claw-1.html

image

3) This tip isn’t a ‘tip” but more of a useful tool. A wide toothed comb. I got this comb from Sephora for about 5$. It is great for de-tangling, parting your hair, and to brush your hair out after you shower. A great tool for your collection! (You can tell I use the comb 24/7 the Sephora label is practically all rubbed off! (

image

4) Have dry hair? This product is a live saver for my dry split ends! Apply 10-20 minutes before you shower then rinse. This product is fabulous! It mends my split ends, moisturizes, and leaves a coconut scent that lasts! And, has great ingredients including: Vitamin E, Coconut, Keratin, and Silk Protein. Plus, it has no parabens or sulfates. (http://www.walmart.com/ip/Palmer-s-Coconut-Oil-Protein-Pack-2.1-oz/10311243)

So, I hope you enjoyed my hair tips and tricks! And now that you’ve read it: TAG! If you own a beauty blog, blog your hair tips and tricks or, comment them below!
