Tag- 40 Beauty Questions!


 First of all, i want to apologise for the lateness. I've had such a busy week of stuff.  Seeing as i haven't had time to write up a personal post, i shall do another beauty tag. Enjoy beauties.

SKINCARE -
How many times do you wash your face daily?
Ok. This is going to make me sound so gross and lazy, but i only wash my face in the morning. In the evening i never wipe off my make up, hello and welcome to gross land.
What skin type do you have? (dry,oily,combo)
Sensitive and oily.


What is your current facial wash?

I normally wipe off make up with a wipe and then wash with LUSH: Dark Angels.

 

Do you exfoliate?
No, I'm plain and simple lazy.


What brand do you use?

-Leave blank and feel ashamed Victoria.-

What moisturizer do you use?

Um...*insert excuse for laziness*

Do you have freckles?

No, no freckles. Just moles.
Do you use eye cream?
No, i don't.
Do you or did you have acne prone skin?
I have been extremely lucky when it comes to my skin, i currently don't have any spots, and never have had. Luckily really because at school i would have got butchered. 
Did you ever have to use Pro-activ?
I have never heard of this product.

MAKE-UP

What foundation do you use?
I currently use a BB cream and a cc cream together. I use half
L'Oreal Paris Nude Magique CC Cream Anti- Redness and half Dr Jart+ Regenerating Beauty Balm. I find that if i use just the cc cream I'm too dark, but if i just use the BB cream I'm too pale.



How about concealer?
I use Soap and Glory Kick Ass Concealer, it works really well on the dark circles under my eyes.

Do you know your undertone color? 
I have only just looked this up as i read the question, as far as i can gather i have a warm undertone as i have quite red skin in patches, i don't know if this is an accurate way of telling?
What do you think of fake eyelashes?
Well i think they look amazing if they look natural, i love wearing them on special occasions as i like to emphasize my eyes. The only problem is i find them very uncomfortable to wear as they seem to irritate the inner tear duct.

Did you know that you are supposed to change your mascara every 3 months?

Of course! You don’t want eye infections! Throw it out and buy a new one.


What brand of mascara do you use?

I only use one as i know it doesn't irritate my eyes and that Maybelline Colossal Volum'. It got a lovely applicator and doesn't coat you eyelahes too much.

Sephora or MAC?
I have no products from either.
Do you have a MAC Pro-card?
No.
What makeup tools do you use in make up application?
 Echo tools and Real technique brushes, and cotton buds.

Do you use make-up base/primer for the eyes?
I don't use a specific primer for the eyes, i just use one all over my face.
For the face?
I use Revlon Photo Ready Primer.


What is your favorite eyeshadow (color or shade)?

If I'm honest i don't use eyeshadow, it just looks silly or too over dressed for me.
Do you use pencil or liquid eyeliner?
NYC liquid eyeliner, i find it hard to find now and can only get in on eBay. it's the easiest brush to use.

How often do you poke your eyes with an eyeliner pencil?

Rarely, i don't find eyeliner hard to apply to my waterlines and other areas.
What do you think of pigment eyeshadows?
I don't really use eyshadows, so i couldn't really comment. 


Do you use mineral makeup?

No, i dont.


What is your favorite lipstick?

At the moment i'm loving Bourjois rouge edition lipsticks, my particular favourites that i wear often: Orange pop up, and Fuschia graffiti. These lipsticks will make your lips feel so moisturized for so long.
Bourjois Rouge Edition Lipstick Fuschia Grafitti
Fuschia Graffiti
Bourjois Rouge Edition Lipstick Orange Pop Up
Orange Pop Up
How about lipgloss?
I don't use it, it's far too sticky on lips my eurgh!
What is your favorite blush to use?
I am currently using Collection Blush and Highlight duo.


Do you buy your makeup on ebay?
No way, my skin is far too sensitive to use make up that may not be all that good.
Do you like drugstore makeup?
I buy all my make up from drugstores.
 
Do you go to CCO's? (cosmetic company outlets)

No, but i really would like to. I hear you can get discount items?
Did you ever consider taking make-up classes?
Yes, but I have never gotten around to it. I would love to take a few PRO classes at mac!


Are you clumsy in putting on makeup?

Lol, sometimes in the morning before class… I am NOT a morning person!
Name a makeup crime that you hate?
Like sharpied in eyebrows, ANNOYING.

This also drives me bat shit crazy.
 
Do you like colorful shades of makeup (lipstick,eyeshadow) or neutral ones?

Well if i was to use eyeshadow it would have to be neutral, but on my lips i love using bright colours.
Which celebrity always has great make up? 
Angelina Jolie's look is pure beautiful. It so natural, and that shows her beauty. If i was going to talk about someone who uses heavy make up i think Miley cyrus's make up really suits her.
 

If you could leave the house using just ONE make up item, what would you use?  
This is such an easy question. 100% mascara.
Could you ever leave the house without any makeup on?
Yes, i quite often do. In the job that i have you really don't need to look your best every day.
Do you think you look good even without any makeup on?
I think i look drained, but still beautiful. Yes.
In your opinion, what is the BEST makeup line?
Hmm. L'Oreal.

What do you think of Makeup??

I think it's lovely if you use it right.

My Life in 8 photos.

This was a little tag i saw on some other lovely blogs, and seeing as you don't know much about me i thought this was perfect. Throughout the years I've been pretty much afraid of my photo being taken. But soon enough i will be documenting pretty much everyday of my life, and sharing it with you all.

So this is a little post for you to get to know me through pictures.


This is me Looking like Ugly Betty.

This is me at a Halloween part dressed as The Hulk.
This was a trip to Camden market before i got my tattoo.


This is me back in London When i got part 1 of my tattoo.

This is me and Leo on the London eye.
Me and my Grandad.
Me now all blonde, with my boyfriend Leo and my dog Charlie.
Me, E.T and Leo hanging out.






So there we have some personal pictures of me, just for you.




Hoping something will make you smile?

Now, I'm like every other girl. I love a cute animal. So i have made a collection of the funniest and cutest animal gifs on the internet, each and every one of these makes me smile from cheek to cheek, and i want to share that happiness.

Enjoy.

I hope this made you smile.



Th 90's Tag!



So today i was browsing through YouTube videos, and i came across the 90's tag.  It brought back so much nostalgia, and i want to share that amazing feeling. Here we go.

1. Favourite Disney Channel original movie?
Well, i'm gonna own up and admit that i wasn't a fan of Disney when i was little. It was all about Nickelodeon. So I'll change the question to: What is your favorite movie of the 90's? Now there's one that i watched over and over and that was Parent Trap. The Days when Lindsey Lohan was cute and innocent.


2. Favourite music artist? There can only be one. SPICE GIRLS. So much so i had about 6 spice girls mugs.


3. Favourite nickelodeon jr. show? Now i can only remember a few, but the favourite out of the few i remember were Doug and the Rugrats. it still angers me to this day when they bought out a show about grown up Rugrats. Tommy was never meant to have hair!
                       
                                                                  From this :

4. Favourite candy?  oo, baby bottle sweets were great, it seems so silly now walking around with a baby bottle top that you dip in sherbet. But back in the day it was what made you cool. Another one of my favourites was them little white candy sticks. They sometimes had pictures of tom and jerry on them!


5. Favourite game (board game, school  game)? I was one that wanted to know there fate so MASH was a big hit with me and my friends. I honestly believed i would end up in a shed with justin timberlake with a pet elephant riding a bike, well.. until the next game. 

 7. Favourite book? I never read as  kid, i watched TV.


8. Favourite clothing store? I was brought up on Primark clothes, no wonder it's like the holy grail now.

9. What would you watch when you got home from school? I used to watch Sabrina the teenage witch whenever it was on. I also liked to watch saved by the bell and ed edd and eddy.

10. Favorite tv show? oh my i loved EVERYTHING on Cartoon network, cow and chicken, ed edd and eddy, johnny bravo, i am weasel, power puff girls,  and of course dexters labratory.
http://pewlpit.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/catdog-.jpg
I Liked cat dog too
11. Favourite toys? oh my gosh, when i was little i went through a stage of being a girly girl. This didn't last long due to growing up around 2 brothers., but i remember how happy my bright blue sky dancer made me, along with my Polly pocket (which slowly went missing piece by piece due to such small parts). After that i went onto playing with my brother handed down lego, mechano and of course scalectrix.

12. Favourite commercials? I can remember the first time i ever saw a furby on an advert, i wanted one so bad! I was honestly mesmerized.


13. 'Nsync or Backstreet Boys?  I would have to say n-sync.

14. Weirdest fashion trend? Oh gosh. Jelly shoes. I even remember the smell to this day. and the tattoo chokers, if you thought you were cool back in the day you would know what these are! Picture: 

http://img3.etsystatic.com/010/3/7676151/il_340x270.451020819_eb5g.jpg
How nasty!

15. Favourite collectible? There can only be one answer for this. Pokemon cards. I can remember as soon as getting my money, i would head down to my local shop with my grandparents/parents and buy as many packets as i could. I had a red folder with little plastic wallets so i could sort through my current favourites.


16. Favourite beanie baby? i have ALLOT of Ty toys when i was little. I remember going to a market every Sunday and looking for the Ty stall. I can remember 2 of my all time favorites, one is a newer edition and one is a first edition. One was a grey kitten, and the other was a pillow pal, a orange koala with blue feet.

                  Silver - The Grey Tabby

Kolala- The Koala

 

17. How many Tamagotchis did you go through? I had 3, all at the same time. They were all attached to my bag. I wanted more because of all the different colours and designs of them, but my family stopped buying them at 3.


18. Favourite game system and game? Now this is an easy one. I remember getting a ps1, and i loved it. the first game i had for it whats rayman, and this game angered me so much because at the time it was a real struggle to complete, i just couldnt get past the pesky music level. But this isnt my favorite. My favourite has got to be Abe's oddysee. I cannot explain how much this game scared me when i was younger. It was passed down by my brother and the thought of sneaking past some weird creature with a gun in the dark freaked me out beyond words, but i loved it so much. The story is creepy, the characters are creepy, the main 'nice guy' is CREEPY, but its so enjoyable. A couple other games i enjoyed playing on the ps1 are spyro, crash bandicoot, and the muppet monster adventure.

Abes Oddysee- The characters.
  

So that's my tag done, sorry for length. I highly recommend trying this tag if you were born in the 90's. It shall bring back some wonderful memories.

Things about me.

This is me.

1.Do you have a middle name? Yes, Elizabeth Gillian.my first 3 initials spell VEG.
2. What was your favourite subject in school? It had to be drama. All the 'cool' kids used to be in drama group. I wasn't one of them.
3. What’s your favourite drink? I'm a sucker for all things fizzy, But recently i've been letting my teeth have a break. So now I'm on orange sqaush.
4. Favourite song at the moment? Alunageorge - Attracting Flies.
5. What would you name your children? Oh the subject of children, a far way off yet,so much so i have not thought about this one. The question would fit me better if it said what would you name your cat/dog? 1 simple answer; Cody or Milly.
6. Do you participate in any sports? Paha! No.of course not. Even the thought of it brings me out in a sweat.
7. Favourite Book? Jane Eyre.
8. Favourite Colour? Any Pastels, mint being the number 1. The bright colour of turquoise also brings me joy.
9. Favourite Animal? CATS. So much so that i sometimes spend hours just looking at pictures and videos of cats.



10. Favourite perfume? Ok, so if we're talking ones which i own CKin2U is beautiful. If we're talking in general then it would have to be Mark Jacobs - Daisy Sunshine Edition. It has the most beautiful citrus scent (i think it's citrus). But i honestly think it's too over priced. Maybe a splurge is in order so i can finally add this to my collection.
11. Favourite holiday? I think i have only ever been on holiday a couple of times, both have these have been in the UK. My most memorable holiday would have to have been a Haven holiday when i was 7/8. I spent the whole holiday in the arcades getting lots of tickets so i could exchange them for a set of tacky plastic jewelry and crowns.
12. Have you graduated High School? Yes i left secondary school in 2009.
13. Have you been out of the Country? No, never. But myself, my boyfriend and some of my family are going to Greece next year in the summer.
14. Do you speak any other Languages? Due to laziness of the brain at school i never fully participated in any languages. Its a shame though because i think it's a great skill to have.



Part 2 to be uploaded soon..
