SKINCARE

-How many times do you wash your face daily?

Morning and night - in the a.m. I use a duo-acid cleanser and at night I scrub everything off with a green tea enzyme powder wash. 

-What skin type do you have? (dry,oily,combo)

Definitely combination, but it veers to the oily side during the summer months.

-What is your current facial wash?

Both of my facial cleansers are from Wishtrend.

-Do you exfoliate?

About one or twice a week I use chemical exfoliant serums.

-What brand do you use?

My favorite is from a Korean company called dear Klairs. 

-What moisturizer do you use?

I used a combination moisturizer and SPF cream from dear Klairs.

-Do you have freckles?

None that I can detect with my naked eye.

-Do you use eye cream?

The dark circles under my eyes are both a result of poor sleep and genetics, so I use an eye serum and an eye butter combo from Wishtrend. Both have caffeine to wake up the eyes.

-Do you or did you have acne prone skin?

Not really. I do get the one off breakout right before my period though - usually on my chin or forehead.

-Did you ever have to use Pro-activ?

Goodness no and I would have dumped any dermatologist recommending it. I know folks who got chemical burns from using those products.

MAKE-UP

-What foundation do you use?

None! I prefer a BB cream or just a tinted moisturizer. 

-How about concealer?

I very rarely use a concealer, so I don't have a favorite.

-Do you know your undertone colour?

I know I swing between neutral and warm toned. 

-What do you think of fake eyelashes?

They look great but they make my eyes irritated and itchy, so I can't wear them.

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

Yes - but I usually forget and then just end up hoarding old ones until they dry up!

-What brand of mascara do you use?

Benefit's "They're Real" Lengthening mascara.

-Sephora or MAC?

Honestly, neither. Ulta is the best place to buy makeup.

-Do you have a MAC Pro-card?

Nope, I've actually never purchased a MAC product.

-What makeup tools do you use in makeup application?

A couple of odd brushes, a beauty blender, and my fingers.

-Do you use make-up base/primer for the eyes?

When I'm wearing eye shadow, yes.

-For the face?

Yes. I use a primer from E.L.F.

-What is your favourite eye shadow (colour or shade)?

Copper or gold seem to look the best on me. 

-Do you use pencil or liquid eyeliner?

It depends - if I'm going for a smoky look I always use a pencil. Otherwise, I prefer a gel liner or one of those felt-tip liquid liner pens. 

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

Very rarely, as I don't really do much tight-lining anymore.

-What do you think of pigment eye shadows?

They're way too intense for me, I prefer a more subtle wash of color.

-Do you use mineral makeup?

I used to have some mineral powders but my skin didn't like them much. 

-What is your favourite lipstick?

I don't wear lipstick much. But I enjoy the tinted lip balms from Burts Bees.

-How about lipgloss?

No, it's a texture thing. I don't like it on my face at all.

-What is your favourite blush to use?

I have a beautiful dusty rose blush from Avon that I'll dip into on special occasions. Otherwise, I don't use blush often. 

-Do you buy your makeup on eBay?

That's a thing? I honestly had no idea anyone was selling makeup on Ebay.

-Do you like drugstore makeup?

A lot of drugstore brands have really improved in the last decade and some of them make great dupes for higher end products. So yeah, I suppose I do.

-Do you go to CCO's? (cosmetic company outlets)

No, I'd never even heard of this and had to look it up. I mostly shop local department stores or online for makeup!

-Did you ever consider taking make-up classes?

I thought about it when I was younger, but there are so many Youtubers out there giving makeup tutorials that it hardly feels necessary now.

-Are you clumsy in putting on makeup?

I wouldn't say clumsy, but I do have trouble getting eyeliner wings even and so most of the time I don't even bother. The contours of my face are strange, so I never know where to put blush to make it look natural either.

-Name a makeup crime that you hate?

I don't believe in makeup crimes. People have different aesthetic preferences and different reasons for wearing makeup, but those who don't wash their face before bed are doing themselves a serious disservice.

-Do you like colourful shades of makeup (lipstick, eye shadow) or neutral ones?

I prefer wearing more neutral tones now that I'm older, but I do love a bold eye shadow look from time to time. 

-Which celebrity always has great makeup?

I think Rihanna always looks amazing. 

-If you could leave the house using just ONE makeup item, what would you use?

Probably a BB cream with SPF.

-Could you ever leave the house without any makeup on?

Yes, I do it all the time.

-Do you think you look good even without any makeup on?

I honestly prefer my face without makeup most of the time. Eyeliner makes my eye shape look really different and I don't always like it.

-In your opinion, what is the BEST makeup line?

No lie, I think E.L.F. has come a long way in the past few years and so many of their products are richly pigmented and long-lasting. They're also one of the most affordable.

-What do you think of Makeup? 

I have mixed feelings on it that tie into a social culture that thrives on making people feel insecure about their looks to sell products and a patriarchy that rewards or punishes people for how well they "perform" femininity. In the end, I think it's a personal choice to wear or not wear makeup and nobody should be shamed either way for their choices.  


I can't remember who originally tagged me in this post years ago, but I thought it would be fun to revisit and maybe pass it along to anyone else looking for some lighthearted content to add to their blog!
