I linked up with The Blended Blog back in the fall for their fall edition of TBB ASKS. When I saw the BEAUTY Edition….I KNEW I had to join the fun!
I remember when I was younger, my cousin, Whitney, was super into all things make-up, lip gloss, and just any girly product. I was not into it AT ALL, but MY, oh MY, how the times have changed! I love trying new beauty products…new make-up, new skin care, and even a new laundry detergent can get me pretty excited. #andthatssayingsomething
So let’s get to it today…
1. Eyelash Curler-Yes or No?
No, I used to use one on the daily, but maybe from Rodan and Fields’ Lash Boost or just a better mascara I don’t feel like I need to curl them anymore.
This is the one I used. It’s great if you’re looking for a good curler. I’m pretty sure Shay recommended it years ago! And if you’re like me, I always get my best recommendations from my girlfriends {and blog readers!!}.
2. Favorite Nail Shade?
I just shared this one with you yesterday, but spring has me in the mood for this one…
3. Favorite Lipstick Shade?
This past fall/winter I became the biggest fan of Bobbi Brown’s Rum Raisin.
It’s the perfect shade for fall/winter months. I’m on the look out for a more “springy” color {that also makes my teeth appear whiter than they really are}. If you have any recommendations, PLEASE share!
4. Blow Dry or Air Dry your hair?
Blow dry all the way. This is the blow dryer I use and it cuts my blog dry time WAY down. I use
dry shampoo in between washes so it allows me to only wash my hair about twice a week. Blow drying isn’t so bad when I only have to do it twice a week.
5. Artificial Nails-yes or no?
I love getting a gel manicure. My nails will look great for two weeks, BUT the problem is I do not like wasting an hour every other week sitting there getting my nails done. SO…I’m gonna go with no artificial nails…just real. I can paint them easily at home and I like my nails to be crazy short so I can keep that just like I like it too.
6. Foundation-yes or no?
If I’m wearing make-up, yes! I’m wearing foundation. This is my foundation of choice right now….
7. Hair Up or Hair Down?
That depends what my day looks like. If I’m at home, running errands, and that kind of thing…then it’s probably going up. If I have a date night planned, then I’ll wear it down.
8. Bar Soap or Body Wash?
Body wash ALL THE WAY! I’ve been using this shower gel and am almost out. 🙁
9. Bath or Shower?
It depends on my need…if I really need to get super clean, then shower ALL THE WAY. If I’m escaping the crazy and relaxing for a few minutes, then a bath!
10. Favorite Body Lotion?
Around the holidays I listened to the Big Boo podcast where they talked about Christmas gifts. Did you listen to that one? They had some fun ideas! And I ended up ordering the Hummingbird Farms lotion set as a gift AND one for myself.
This lavender lotion is my favorite at the moment. I love the smell of lavender. {I think because it reminds me of a spa…ha!}
11. Do you wear perfume? If so, what’s your favorite scent?
I’m gonna be the first to tell you-I have a super sensitive sense of smell. I feel strongly about how things smell. With that said, I love a good smelling strong smell just as much as I dislike the nasty scents. I also am someone who gets to immune to smells pretty quickly. That perfume I use daily-I eventually stop being able to smell it. And I don’t like that! So, I began buying Jo Malone’s gift sets. At certain times during the year, the sets can include five different perfumes. They’re easy to take on trips, throw into your gym bag, or keep in your bathroom for daily use.
All of the scents are very fresh to me.
12. Do you shave your legs everyday?
No way!
13. Favorite Lip Balm?
This Rose Salve is probably my favorite. It’s inexpensive, works super well, and is easy to throw in any bag or purse.
14. How old were you when you first started wearing make-up?
I think I was in sixth grade when I first started. {And you can imagine I was an absolute MESS!!} I think in seventh grade it began looking much better.
What about you? Do you have any beauty products you absolutely love? If so, please share!
Happy Monday, Friends!
