The Beauty Lover Tag

There's a great little makeup tag going on over at Bloomin' Rouge and I suggest checking it out!
Here are my answers to the tag:

1. If you could have anyone in the world do your makeup, who would it be?
I think it would be fun to have Mykie from Glam&Gore do my makeup. 
I love her youtube channel, it reminds me of when my brothers and I used to try to do gory makeup for our home movies.

2. What's your top makeup tip?
This is tough.  I just do my makeup everyday and don't really think of any tricks/tips that I do.
Maybe blend.  Blend everything. Eye shadow, blush, concealer, etc Blend.

3. What one makeup item could you not live without?
It's between mascara and concealer...I think the winner is mascara.
It just makes me look more away and opens up my eyes.

4. What one skincare item could you not live without?
Origins Ginseng Moisturizer.
I've been stranded without it before and my skin did not enjoy that.

5. What are you worst at when it comes to applying makeup?
I'm not very good at applying eyes hadow to my crease or applying lipstick.  I think I have no patience.

6. What's your biggest pet peeve when it comes to beauty?
Foundation not matching skin tones.  Cake face.


7. What's your favourite makeup era?
The fifties/sixties

8. What's your guilty pleasure product?
Sunday Riley's Good Genes.  My skin loves this stuff, but it's so hard to stomach the price!

9. What's your underdog product?
The Body Shop All-in-One BB Cream color adapting.  This stuff makes my skin look so good, but it's light weight.  It just helps to enhance my dull skin.

10. What's your favourite makeup product of 2015?
Absolute favorite?  Can I list 3?
Nyx Angel Veil Primer
Benefit Cosmetics Rollerlash
Nyx Micro Brow pencil
...guess I meant four.  Colourpop blush (Between the sheets) 
 
 

A Christmas Tag

It's December!
Can you believe it?

I started my advent calendar a day late because I didn't realize it was December.
Time goes by way to fast. . .

How is your Christmas shopping going? or are you a last minute shopper?
I am about 85% done and have been for awhile (so proud of myself).

I have some Christmas posts planned but I am honestly waiting for my Black Friday purchase to arrive. I splurged and bought a new laptop, it's going to be my blogging/picture/video laptop...or so I say so far.

So stay tuned for hopefully an endless supply of content coming up!

This is just going to be a quick Christmas list today, enjoy!

Favorite Christmas Song: "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)"-Michael Buble
Favorite Christmas Movie: (this is tough as I love so many) "12 Date of Christmas" or "The Family Stone" and of course the classics like "Elf" and "Home Alone" oh and "The Santa Clause"!
Who is the easiest to buy for? My boyfriend or Sister-in-Law
Favorite Christmas Treat: Any kind of pie or sugar cookies
Favorite Christmas Dinner Food: Stuffing or mashed potatoes
Fake or real tree? Real
When do you get/put up your tree? I think we buy our tree during the second week of December, but it'll be my first year getting my own tree
Favorite Christmas Event: One town over there is the most spectacular light up, parade and fireworks and I've gone every year since I was a baby
Which TV special do you look forward to the most? Charlie Brown
Favorite Candle: I love the winter scent by Bath & Body Works but I've really been enjoying wood wick candles as they sound like you have a fire going & I don't have a fireplace so it's perfect.
Any Christmas traditions? Well, we used to drive around and look at Christmas lights with my family until I was about 21/22. Now it's Christmas Eve at Boyfriend's parents & Christmas Day at my parent's house. And my own little tradition is that I like to watch all the Christmas episodes of Full House and I start re-watching all the seasons of The O.C.

Feel free to copy and repost with your answers! I loved to read them.

The 'Me Time' Tag!

Happy Monday!
Honestly? I hate Mondays.  They mean getting up early, going to work and coming home tired.
At the end of a long day there are things I like to do to unwind, so why not share them through a tag?

What do you watch or read during me-time?
I love watching "Gilmore Girls" to unwind. I'm scared my dvds are going to burn out by how much I watch this show.
I'm currently reading "Let it Snow" by John Green, Maureen Johnson and Lauren Myracle, it's a light Christmas-y read!

What do you wear during me-time? 
My polka dot pajama pants and a cozy sweater.

What are your me-time beauty products?
I love face masks. Currently I've been into Lush's Magnaminty. My skin is so soft after using this! And sometimes I'll give myself a pedicure, I currently have Essie's "Tuck in my Tux" on my toes.

Current favourite nail polish? 
Whoops! I answered this above. Essie's "Tuck in my Tux", it's from the 2014 Winter collection.

What do you eat/drink during me-time? 
I like to have popcorn as a bedtime snack and Boyfriend I have been drinking David's Tea "Earl's Garden" tea which is just an Earl Grey tea.


Current favourite candle?
This is the hardest question as I absolutely love candles (that's a Pisces for you). I'm going to go with Bath & Body Works Warm Sugar Vanilla three wick candle.  It just relaxes me and smells so good.

Do you ever have outdoor me-time? 
I used to go running as a stress reliever, but I've been slacking in that department so no outdoor me-time for me.
 

Would you ever go see a movie alone? 
Of course! I've done it twice and had the best time. The movies were "Whip It" and "The Vow", in case you were wondering. And I saw "The Vow" on Valentine's Day to top it off!


Favourite online shop?
Well, I do love shopping on Sephora's site, it's a nice way to unwind.

Anything to add? What else do you do during me-time? 
Watch youtube videos, read blogs and watch Boyfriend play video games.

I hope you have a super Monday and I'll talk to you again on Wednesday!

The Christmas Tag

Hello Lovelies!
I found "The Christmas Tag" over at MakeupSavvy. I've been reading their blog a lot lately and you should check it out if you're into that sort of thing :)

Moving on, did you ever do those surveys when you were younger? The ones you got through msn or hotmail and then you pass them on to your friends and even write hints about your crush in them and send them to him....Or was that just me?

So I have decided when I am uninspired to blog, I will do these surveys...I guess they're called tags no, so you (the reader) can get to know me better. Feel free to share your answers to the questions in the comments or a link to your blog would be lovely as well!

Here we go...
Actually before I start let me just say that I've scoured my computer for old Christmas photos and can't find any, then I realized I didn't get my camera until last Christmas, so I apologize for no visual effects.

1. What is your favourite Christmas Movie/s?

1. What is your favorite Christmas movie/s?
 I'm glad this question wasn't what are your favorite Christmas specials, because I love anything Christmas themed.
As for movies I love the first two Home Alone movies and I have a deep love for A Miracle on 34th Street with Mara Wilson (I actually just watched this a couple days ago). The house at the end of the movie (insert me sighing loudly here), I've wanted it since I was a little girl.

2. Do you open your presents on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning?
 I think I've only ever once opened a present on Christmas Eve and that was when my boyfriend and I first started dating. But other than that one time, it's always Christmas morning. At his house it's after breakfast and at my parent's it's before breakfast.

3. Do you have a favorite Christmas memory?
I can't remember much, but this one time sticks out in my head. My Grandfather had shown up Christmas morning and I knew there were presents and I was eying up the stockings but I had to wait. We have the Disney parade on tv every Christmas morning and I was probably 6 or 7 playing it cool sitting on the couch pretending I didn't notice any presents and was so involved with the parade.

4. Favorite festive food?
 Christmas cookies! You know the ones that come in tins? Any of those will do.

5. Favorite Christmas gift?
I'm quite happy with last year's gift of my camera or the Prada Candy perfume boyfriend bought me.
My Magic Potty Baby from when I was a kid sticks out the most though. I wanted it so bad (what kind of kid wants a baby that comes with a toilet and pees all the time? I'm not sure)

6. Favorite Christmas scent?
I have a few.
Breakfast on Christmas morning, the smell of a fresh Christmas tree once it's inside the house and the crisp, cold air.

7. Do you have any Christmas Eve traditions?
Usually dinner with my family. For the longest time we would go to Pizza Hut and as we've gotten older and people work later hours than the restaurant was open for it was harder to do. So lately we've been getting pizza or a subway platter to our house.

8. What tops your tree?
An angel has topped the tree at my parents house for as long as I can remember.  One day when I have my own tree I think maybe a T-rex will top it :)

9. As a kid what was the one (crazy, wild, extravagant) gift you always asked for but never received? - See more at: http://www.makeupsavvy.co.uk/2014/11/the-christmas-tag.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+co%2FXRuB+%28Makeup+Savvy%29#sthash.6YnTFgb1.dpuf

9. As a kid what was the one (crazy, wild, extravagant) you always asked for and never received?
Either one of those life sized dolls or the Barbie jeep that you could drive.

10. What's the best part about Christmas for you?
I love having two families to spend Christmas with and I hope one day we'll have a place big enough for everyone.  Christmas Eve is so much fun, we eat with my parents and brothers and then stay up late at my boyfriend's parents having wine and appetizers.  And then going to bed just us and we're so excited for people to open their gifts...I get excited just thinking about it.


Have a wonderful week!
