Bored - so I decided to do a tag. It's wordy as it is so I'll keep this short. Leave me a comment below with your answers! :)
1. Do you remember your first makeup item?
If I'm not mistaken, it was a lip gloss, imported all the way from the United States when I used to live in the Philippines. It was the only kind of makeup we were allowed to wear at my private school.
2. Describe your perfect mascara. Have you found one that fits your specifications?
I don't try a lot of mascaras. A perfect one would give a lot of volume and lengthening power. So far, I like Benefit's They're Real mascara :)
3. What kind of coverage do you prefer from foundation?
Full coverage or nothing.
4. Favorite High End Brand
I'm not sure. I have a mix right now. I don't have an excessive amount of one brand.
5. What cosmetic brands have you always wanted to try but still haven't?
Basically everything! The only high end brands I have are MAC, Stila, Too Faced, Smashbox, Laura Mercier, Benefit - and they're all just random makeup - palette, samples, mascara, eyeliner, single eyeshadow, etc.
6. Favorite drugstore brand
It's between L'Oreal and Maybelline - depends on my mood and what I'm looking for.
7. Do you wear fake eyelashes?
I have yet to learn how to put them on, but they're so pretty
8. Is there any kind of makeup you can't leave the house without?
Lip product. It's the only makeup that is in my purse. I also have a powder but I don't even have something to apply it with!
9. What is your most cherished beauty product?
Gosh.. Everything. It's hard to choose!
10. How often do you shop for makeup? Do you like to pick up an item here and there or get lots of goodies at once?
I shop whenever the mood strikes. I buy here and there, not all at once.
11. Do you have a "beauty budget" or you spend freely?
Since I buy little amounts here and there, I don't have a budget. I probably should have one though.
12. Do you utilize coupons, reward cards, and sales when you shop for cosmetics?
Not really... I don't buy often enough to get that many rewards.
13. What type of product do you buy the most?
I think that would be eye products - shadows, perhaps?
14. Is there a brand that you absolutely can't stand?
Uhm, I won't try the Sephora brand again. I just don't trust it... I also don't think I'll be trying Clinique again. For something that's supposed to be high end, my first experience with their foundation was disappointing.
15. Do you avoid certain ingredients in cosmetics like parabens or sulfates?
No... not really.. Should I?
16. Do you have a favorite place to shop for makeup?
Sephora and MAC.
17. Do you like trying new skincare products or do you keep a certain routine?
I stick with a routine of basic cleansers. I'm using up my Aveeno facial scrub and simultaneously using Simple cleanser in the shower. Outside the shower (at night), I use Cetaphil.
19. If you could only buy from one brand, which brand would you choose?
Gosh, hard question.. Uhm.. Probably.. I don't know!!! I was thinking maybe Too Faced? or MAC... or Smashbox.. I can't answer.
20. What brand do you think has the best packaging?
YSL.
21. Which celebrity always has great makeup?
Demi Lovato and Blake Lively - such lovely skin they have
23. Five Favorite Beauty Gurus
Elle&Blair, Andrea's Choice, Michelle Phan, Gregory Gorgeous, Maya Mia -- oops that's 6.
25. Are you clumsy in putting makeup?
I try not to be. I'm not very particular about the eye makeup. I should be more careful like the beauty gurus... but I'm not.
26. Do you use makeup base/primer for the eyes?
Yes.
27. How many hair products do you use on a typical day?
None ;) I'm too lazy, and I like my hair slippery and shiny on it's natural state.
28. What do you apply first, concealer or foundation?
Foundation/BB cream. One of the beauty gurus described concealer as a jacket and foundation/bb cream is the shirt.
29. Do you ever consider taking makeup classes?
I considered it once... but never really took it seriously.
30. What do you love about makeup?
It's a beauty enhancement. It makes a person glow and look awake and put together. It also gives me confidence. Lastly, sometimes it serves as a mask for me to hide behind.
