The Beauty Blogger Tag

Okay so I'm not 100% a beauty blogger but I suppose a lot of my posts are beauty related... so here goes!!
 
 
 
1. Is your hair naturally curly or straight??
 
Curly. Horridiously curly. When I was little it was ringlets but now its a horrible frizzy kind of curly. Pass me the GHDs!!

 
 
2. What colour is your natural hair??
 
I've been dying my hair for the past 7-8 years and I haven't been my natural colour since I started. Its a kind of light ash brown colour. Its pretty dull. I'm a huge fan of my bright hair dyes as they suit my personality and make me much more confident.

 
 
3. Do you dye your hair yourself or go to a salon??
 
Myself. I don't think I've ever had my hair dyed at a salon. Its so much cheaper to do it yourself however if you're using bleach please go to a salon as its tricky business and you could end up losing a lot of hair... I've learnt the hard way!!

 
 
4. How often do you wash your hair??
 
At the moment I wash my hair every 5-6 days. It sounds pretty gross, but my hair is so dry due to over bleaching that it doesn't get greasy very easily. When I was at school I used to wash my hair everyday which made it so greasy!! Always opt for dry shampoo, wash your hair no more than every other day.

 
 
5. Do you wear the same style everyday or change it??
 
I change up my style on how I'm feeling and what i'm doing that day. I opt for leggings most days as they're super comfy and then either dress it up with blouses and blazers or dress it down with hoodies and jumpers. Definitely switching to jeans over the colder months though!!

 
 
6. Do you do your own mani/pedi or go to a salon?

I do my own. I have a fear of nail files so going to a salon is out of the question.

 

 7. How often to you change your nail polish?

I used to change it every 2-3 days but I've become lazy with it just recently and change my nail varnish once a week...usually on a Sunday when tv is poo.

 

8. Do you polish your toes in the winter, too or just in the summer?

I paint my toes when they need doing which is probably once a month... I am lazier in the winter (unless I'm going clubbing with peep toes) and usually just paint over old varnish. Ooops.

 

 

9. How long does it take to put on your makeup?

I'm so bad with the timing of my makeup. At the minute I have a lot of time in the morning to get ready for work and I'm allowed to wear as much as I want so I spend about an hour and a half to do my makeup. It sucks being a makeup perfectionist!!

 

 
10. What do you do first? Face or eyes?
I'm abit of an odd one as I do the top half my face first, then my eyes and then go onto finish my face. I've found that eyeshadow fallout is a pain to remove if your foundation is already on. I always a apply a powder and my bronzer/highlighters last.

 

 
11. Do you "collect" makeup or just buy what you need when you need it?

Usually I buy things when I need it but I am a sucker for buying nail varnish that I don't need. I like to test new things out from time to time but I always research first so I'm not spending money on makeup I won't use.



12. How often do you wear false eyelashes?

Everyday. I feel naked without them. If I'm staying at home or only going to the shops I'll leave them but everywhere else is a must...even the gym!!

 

13. Do you do a full face of makeup every day?

Usually yes. Unless again I'm staying home or just going shops or something. 

 
 
14. Do you wear makeup when you are home alone (or with family)?

Nope. It seems like a waste of makeup. I use makeup as a confidence boost and I don't need one of those around myself or with my family.

 

 
15. Will you leave the house without makeup?

Very, very rarely. If I'm fairly sure I won't bump into anybody I'll leave it or if I'm not getting out of my car I'll pass on makeup.

 

 

16. How many high end products do you have?

I have 3 Mac lipsticks if you can class that as high end, I then have my 'premium' products from my Wantable boxes but everything else is affordable. I am a big believer in that you don't have to spend a lot of money for great makeup products.




17. How often do you wash your makeup brushes?

Not as often as I should... Probably like once a month. I give my foundation brushes a quick wash between uses but I have so many brushes that I use them until they're a bit cloggy then just use a fresh one.



 

18. Do you plan your OOTD every night or decide when you are getting dressed?

I usually have a think about what I'll wear the next day when I'm in bed the night before but half of the time I wear something different to what I decide and a lot of it depends on what is clean and what the weather is like.

 

 

19. How often do you change your handbag?

Rarely. I'm not a handbag kinda gal. I have about 3 that I use regularly and if I buy a new one its usually because one of my old ones is broken/worn or I usually drop one of the 3 to swap for my new one. I hate the hassle of having to take everything out of one to put it into another.

 

 

20. What time do you get up & go to sleep?

My family have always gone to their rooms by 9, but I usually stay up until around 11 watching tv, blogging or drawing and then fall asleep at around 12. At the minute I am able to sleep in until about 10 but when I start my new job or go back to university I'll be getting up at around 6!!

 

 
21. How often & when do you workout?

I joined a gym in June and the aim was to go at least 2 times a week. Just recently I have been slacking and only going once a week... sometimes skipping whole weeks. Ooops. I usually go after work or in the morning; I don't like evening workouts as I find it keeps me awake for hours and messes up my sleep routine which makes me a mardy Faye.

 

 

22. Left-handed or Right-handed?

Right-handed but I've tried to train myself to be both multiple times...and failed every time.



 

23. How tall are you?

I'm over average at 5ft 8".



 

24. Do you speak a foreign language?

Not foreign but I speak a fair bit of British Sign Language as well as the tiny bit of French and Spanish at school.

 

25. How many pets do you have?

Are we including siblings?? I have just the one pet. A dog!! He's a 2 year old Cockapoo called Jim... or Jimmoth, Jimbob, Pooka, Raspuke-jim, Jimmy, Jimmykins... you get the drift.


 
26. How often are you on Blogger?

I check my Blogger everyday but aim to post at least twice a week. It usually depends on if I have been sent anything or bought anything new to post about. I try my very hardest to fill in any spaces with things like Tag posts or Topics that I feel are relevant/on my mind.

 
 
27. Do you read the comments posted on blogs?

On my own Blog yes. On other peoples blogs, not so often.

 

28. Do you keep a list of products to try as you see other posts?

Not really. I try to just buy things that I am interested in and need. There's nothing worse than having a reading list of products that are reviewed over and over again. I nearly always read reviews on things I'm thinking of purchasing first though.
  
29. How did you come up with your blog name?

I have absolutely no idea. I didn't want it to be too 'samey' so I opted for something totally unrelated to beauty.
 
 
 30. What kind of camera do you use for photographs?

Not going to lie, I use the camera on my Samsung Galaxy s3 as its convenient and there are a lot of great photo editing apps out there. I do own a Nikon compact camera which is better quality though...and its waterproof (aw100 I think is the model name). Its fabby!!
 
 

 
31. How often do you clean your house? (Daily, weekly, other)
 
We have a cleaner who comes once a week. I do try keeping my room as clean as possible though.  
 
 
 32. What is your favourite colour?

For years I used to think it was pink. It is however most definitely Blue.
 
 
33. What is your favourite beauty/fashion magazine?

I'm not really a magazine reader. I read the magazine which comes with my stepdads newspaper on a Sunday (Fabulous magazine) and I used to subscribe to Face On magazine but I couldn't afford it whilst I was at uni.
 
 
 34. Do you swear?

I was brought up to not swear. I remember my mom washing my mouth out with soap when I was about 5/6 which put me off swearing ever again. I do however swear occasionally. I can't stand it when people use any curse word for every other word of their sentence.


 
35. What are you doing with the rest of your day?

Seeing as its 23.15 I think i'ma get some sleep!!




Goodnight lovelies!!
