The Beauty Blogger Tag

The other day I was tagged by Pooja Mittal from 'Being Beautiful and Pretty' to complete the Beauty Blogger Tag. I am very honoured; I rarely post about beauty products. I believe my knowledge in this area is somewhat minimal; I know many of you are much better than I am when it comes to beauty routines. However, I thought this would be a great opportunity to address beauty products and, as well as answer the questions forwarded to me, I'll show you my daily makeup routine. 



I'll start with the tag:
1). State that this tag was created by 'The Beau Bow'  
2). Some some more beauty bloggers
3). Title this as I've done to show the contents of the tag
4). Answer the questions

Q). Name the beauty routine you barely do.
I'd probably say toning and mousturising. I often forget or run out of time; other times I am too tired and become lazy so I just skip it. I really need to work on that.

Q). Is washing your makeup brushes something you do regularly?
Unfortunately not because I often forget. However, I do have a large quantity of makeup brushes (I started using a new set recently) so finding a clean one isn't a problem. This question totally reminds me to wash my makeup brushes; I bet I'll end up doing it later today.  

Q). How long will you last with chipped nail varnish?
This is a situation which annoys me greatly so probably not very long. When I notice chipped nail polish I'll fix it at the earliest possible convenience.

Q).  How long do you put off buying/replacing a beauty or a nail polish product even if you need it (ie top coat, foundation etc)?
It depends on the nature of the product. For example, the most important items to me are red lipstick, eyeliner and mascara. If I'm without either one of these products, I'll go to any lengths to replace them as soon as possible. If its foundation I could wait a couple of weeks because I don't think my skin looks too bad without it. In terms of nail polish I'd even wait months because I have so many alternatives; the likelihood of there being entirely without nail polish is extremely slim. 

Q). What is your worst beauty habit? 
I'd definitely say not drinking enough water; continually choosing coke zero over water. I really need to change this. 

Q). Name something non-beauty related you put off doing all the time?
I can't think of one thing specificly but that's because the true answer would be absolutely everything. I am fantastic and very experienced at procrastination. 

Q). When going out somewhere do you leave getting ready to the last minute or not? 
No. I always leave adequate time to get ready. Since dressing up is such an enjoyable experience for me, I like to make the most out of it and look the best I possibly can.. I'm fairly quick at hair and makeup (since I have the same style every day ) so choosing an outfit is the activity which potentially takes the longest amount of time. Although, this also depends; sometimes I instantly know what to wear and other days I'll have to try on like a million outfits before getting it right. Aren't we all like that? 

Q). Can you submit to spending bans? 
Absolutely not! In fact, I can't think of anything in the whole world that I've been worse at in recent times than committing to spending bans. Each time I attempt to implement a spending ban, I end up spending more than I would usually which is simply ridiculous. I think this is because, in a round about way, I'm actually thinking about the whole concept of spending more than I would in usual circumstances. 

Q). How organised is your makeup and nail polish collection?  
My nail polish collection is rather organised; I have them all stored in a pretty box. As for my makeup, it's not particularly organised and could be much better sorted; I'd either find it in the handbag I used last or one of the draws in the bathroom. I really want to find an exciting and stylish way to store my makeup. I'd found some inspiration from other bloggers in recent times. It will be one of my next projects. 

Q). What is  the longest time you have gone without writing a blog post?
Not particularly long. These days I wouldn't go for more than five days without posting. As an estimate, I'd say the longest ever time would be about  two weeks.

Now for my daily makeup routine. My daily makeup is anything but natural; I do tend to wear a lot of makeup every day. I use:
-Covergirl Outlast All-Day Lipcolor in red
-Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in black ink with Bobbi Brown Ultra Fine Eyeliner Brush
-Natio Long Lasting Lip Liner in scarlett
-Maybelline The Falsies Volume Express in black
-Clinique Almost Powder Makeup in fair
-Maybelline Expert Wear Eye Shadow Trio in Crown Jewels

I'm tagging anyone who wants to do this fun post.
