When I saw the 30 Question Disney Tag, I also saw the 30 Beauty Question Tag on Beauty by Ellie. And I thought it would be a fun thing to do as well, so here are my answers to each of these 30 questions.
- Do you remember your first makeup item? I don’t remember the brand or which exact product it was from them, but it was an black eyeliner. That or my mom’s Maybelline Great Lash mascara as she had that forever.
- Describe your perfect mascara? My perfect mascara would be one that lifts and curls my lashes without needing a curler, while at the same time giving them volume.
- What kind of coverage do you prefer from a foundation? I honestly go back and forth on what I want. Some days I want something super light and the next I’ll want buildable to full coverage.
- Favorite high end brand? I love Tarte! It was my first ever non-drug store brand and they have yet to fail me with anything I’ve tried out.
- What cosmetic brands have you always wanted to try but haven’t? As a year ago I switched to being cruelty free makeup/beauty, there were a bunch of brands I never tried. And recently Stila just joined the cruelty-free ranks so I really want to try some of their products.
- Favorite drugstore brand? NYX is my favorite brand from the drugstore. Their products make up the vast majority of my collection. Some day I would love to enter the NYX Face Awards but first I need to try creating more artsy/original looks before I would even attempt to do that.
- Do you wear fake eyelashes? On a regular basis? No. But I do wear them for events or nights out.
- Is there any kind of makeup that you can’t leave the house without? I can’t leave the house without a liquid lipstick and some eyeliner.
- What is your most cherished makeup item? I would have to say the Tarte Collector’s case as it is my most expensive piece of makeup in my collection. And it has enough makeup to create a full look for every day of the year.
- How often do you shop for makeup? I used to shop for makeup every month, but I’ve been trying to cut it back to just once every other month. Or when I run out of something that I use all the time.
- Do you have a beauty budget or spend freely? I mainly just spend freely but I’m always restricted to a budget as I don’t have a lot of extra money where I can just go buy a bunch of extra things whenever I want.
- Do you utilize coupons, rewards cards and sales when you shop for cosmetics? As I mainly shop from Ulta, I always use my rewards card as it helps me out a lot. And I try to keep the sales in mind when I’m shopping, but not always.
- What type of product do you buy the most? Liquid lipsticks. I have more than I could ever need or wear.
- Is there a brand that you absolutely can’t stand? Too Faced. I’m allergic to almost all their product and they have horrible customer service. I can’t stand behind that.
- Do you avoid certain ingredients in cosmetics like parabens and sulphates? No as I don’t know much about them, but I always like when they don’t include that type of thing.
- Do you have a favorite place to shop for makeup? As I said earlier, I shop mainly at Ulta.
- Do you like trying skincare products or do you keep a certain routine? My routine is just testing products I get in my monthly subscription, but I generally don’t do much for skincare when I probably should.
- Favorite bath and body brand? Lush.
- If you could only buy from one brand, which brand would you choose? I’m torn between Tarte and NYX as I love them both equally. If it came down to money and variety though, I would have to go with NYX. Sorry Tarte.
- What brand do you think has the best packaging? I don’t have a lot of their products, but I love Kat Von D’s packaging.
- What celebrity always has great makeup? Demi Lovato!
- Do you belong to any online makeup communities? I am part of two Facebook groups: Beauty & Fashion Blog Squad and Beauties on Fire.
- Five favorite beauty gurus? Tati, JKissa, Glam and Gore, Jeffree Star, Mariah Leonard, and Zoella… okay that’s six but they’re all my favs!
- Do you like multi-functional products like lip and cheek tints and stains? I don’t like them, they just have such a weird feeling to me.
- Are you clumsy in putting on makeup? Sometimes when I’m in a rush. But I try to make it look as good as possible. If it looks bad or clumsy, I’ll generally just wipe it off and go without makeup for the day.
- Do you use makeup base/primer for the eyes? Yes! But sometimes it’s just what ever concealer I have leftover after spreading it under my eyes.
- How many hair products do you use on a typical day? Maybe 1 with that being dry shampoo, otherwise I only use hair products every two-three days after I shower.
- What do you apply first – concealer or foundation? Foundation for sure if I’m going to wear both.
- Do you ever consider taking makeup classes? No. I have learned makeup by myself or with the help of YouTube so why bother taking classes for it.
- What do you love about makeup? I love just creating random fun looks. It’s just something that always you to express yourself.
