20 Questions: the makeup tag

Hello! Welcome back to another exciting Makeup Monday post! I wanted to do something fun and different, so I went searching for a tag I haven’t done yet!

I stumbled upon Rachel’s from rachelXblog post where she did this same tag! I loved the questions and they seemed different from ones I’ve answered before so I thought I’d give it a try.

Q1 Do you remember your first makeup item? 

I believe it was Clinique blush, mascara, and maybe a powder. My mom made it a really special outing where we went and bought my first makeup! So memorable.

Q2 Describe your perfect mascara. Have you found ‘The One’? 

I’m a bit of a mascara snob and I’m really picky about them. I tend to change it up a lot though. I will say I have a few die-heart favorites: Arbonne It’s a long story, maybelline colassal, and Smashbox X-rated mascara.

Q3 What coverage do you like in a foundation? 

Full coverage all the way. Why where it if it’s any less? 😉

Q4 What’s your favourite high-end brand? 

Oh man. Such a hard question. I love Tarte, MAC, and recently really loving Stila. I love certainly things from many places.

Q5 What cosmetics brand are you desperate to try but haven’t yet? 

Hourglass and Charlotte Tilbury!

Q6 Favourite drugstore brand? 

Msybelline and Wet n Wild!

Q7 Do you wear fake eyelashes? 

For special occasions and fun outings I do! If I could learn to put them on better, I’d wear them more.

Q8 Is there any makeup you can’t leave the house wearing? 

I honestly wear no-makeup a lot. But I usually like some kind of foundation or mascara.

Q9 What is your most cherished beauty product?

Hmmm. Arbonne perfecting foundation and my UD Gwen palette.

Q10 How often do you buy a makeup product? 

I plead the 5th. No comment! None of your business! 😉 I buy something probably almost every week and if not a few times a month.

Q11 Do you have a monthly beauty budget or spend freely? 

Well, my lack of a job usually dictates when and how much I spend.

Q12 Do you utilise coupons, reward cards and sales for your beauty products? 

Absolutely! My Ulta beauty rewards and precious gold to me! I also do a lot of sale shopping and use my Walgreens rewards card.

Q13 Which beauty product do you buy the most of? 

Lip products. Lip products galore.

Q14 Is there a brand that you really don’t like? 

There’s a few brands that I don’t use because I don’t want to support the company. And I’m not a huge fan of Covergirl (don’t ask me why, just never have been!).

Q15 Do you avoid certain ingredients in cosmetics like paraben’s or sulphates? 

I should probably say yes, but no…

Q16 Do you have a favourite place to shop for makeup? 

Ulta, Walmart, and Sephora.

Q17 Do you like trying new skincare products or sticking to a routine? 

Well. I’m really starting to up my skincare game so I’ve been trying new products. But once I find stuff that works, I don’t change much.

Q18 What’s your favourite Bath & Body brand?

Bath and Body, lush, and recently Soap and Glory.

Q19 If you could only buy from one brand, who would you pick? 

Oh my my…maybe Tarte or MAC?? Don’t make me pick just one place!

Q20 What do you love about makeup? 

I love that it enhances my beauty. It doesn’t make me beautiful but it allows me to be creative and show off my hobby!

What would some of your answers be? If you do this tag, let me know! I’d love to see what you come up with. XO
