Hello Everyone!
Yesterday, I was browsing through different beauty blogs when I came by this really cool tag on The Make Up Chair. I thought it looks so fun so I figured I would do it myself! I also tag all of you to do it as well! I feel like there are so many eye shadow and lipstick tags out there but not as many about foundation so I'm really glad I came by this one. I own six foundations and one bb cream. Here we go!
Best Packaging:
L"real Magic Nude Liquid Powder in 320 Beige
This one was hard for me but I really like the purple on this packaging and how the glass fogs up as you go up the packaging
Best Color Pay Off:
Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 Hour Foundation in Light Medium Sand
Most Buildable:
Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 Hour Foundation in Light Medium Sand
It is really easy to build this foundation up from a medium coverage to a basically full coverage with only about two layers and it looks amazing.
Best for Traveling:
Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow Liquid Foundation in "Warm me up" Toasted Beige
I love this for traveling because the tube in plastic so I don't have to worry about it breaking. I am always worried that my glass ones will break such as my Rimmel or Maybelline ones!
Biggest Regret:
Bare Mineral Original in Medium Biege
I just don't like powder foundation. I don't feel like they last very long plus Bare Mineral is not cheap so I regret getting it.
Best Color Names:
Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow Liquid Foundation in "Warm me up" Toasted Biege
All their color names are just so fun! My favorite is probably "I'm so money" Honey and " Cheers to me" Champagne
Least Used:
Bare Mineral Original in Medium Biege
This was also my biggest regret. It just sits in the back of my make up drawer. I only ever use it to set my foundation but I have so many other powders I prefer like the Rimmer Stay Matte Press Powder
Most Used:
Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation in 202 Nude
This is a great light weight everyday foundation. it goes on easy, looks really nice and lasts all day!
I tag all of you!
Lots of Love,
Hi Everyone!
Can you believe that it is already December?! In honor of the holiday time, I have decided to do the Christmas tag! I hope you enjoy!
What time of year do you start Christmas shopping?
Being a poor college student, I tend to start pretty late. I will probably head to the mall and TJ Maxx at some point this weekend to start picking things up here and there. However, if I see something I know someone will love I will pick it up earlier.
Do you have any festive recipes for food or drink you limit solely to the Christmas season?
Personally, I don't but I do love all the limited Christmas coffee flavors from Starbucks and for K cups (peppermint mocha is my favorite!).
Tell me how Christmas goes down in your home?
I go to Boston because that is where all my family lives. My university is a 5 hour bus ride from there. We don't normally do much on Christmas Eve but on Christmas Day, we have a huge family dinner with a lot of Russian food (yum!) and after dinner we all get around the tree and give out our gifts. Then we have dessert and lots of tea. It is a lot of fun to just hang out.
Do you have any Christmas traditions?
I go to Boston every year for Christmas but besides that not really!
Do you have a favorite festive coffee?
I love love love peppermint mocha and anything with cinnamon!
Do you have a favorite Christmas song?
To be honest, I like them all but if I had to pick it would be Glee's cover of Baby, It's Cold Outside
What do you do on Christmas Eve?
Not too much, we mainly celebrate on Christmas Day so we just hang out.
What's your Christmas wrapping strategy? Do you have a strategy?
This year I made the mistake of going with wrapping paper instead of gift bags. A lot of my gifts are weird shapes( who knew that was possible) so its been hard but I've been just trying to finish as fast as I could!
What's your dream gift this year?
I really want the One Direction perfume. It smells amazing. But if I could have any gift in the world, it would be enough money to go to beauty school and get my make up artist certification.
Describe your Christmas tree. How tall? Real or artificial? How is it decorated?
I haven't seen the one in Boston yet but the one at my apartment at university is a little artificial Charlie Brown tree. It is super cute. My favorite ornaments are the penguin ones we have!
Do you decorate just the tree or other areas of your house?
Well, I haven't been to Boston yet so I don't know about there but in my apartment it's just the tree.
What do you wear to Christmas parties and what do you wear on Christmas day?
We get really dressed up for Christmas day dinner so I'll probably end up wearing a dress, tights and heels or a skirt, sweater , tights and booties.
I tag everyone to do this tag! It is so festive so enjoy!
Lots of Love,
