Would You Rather- Beaty TAG

hello everyone


i haven't done a beauty related TAG in a little while and i quite like doing them so i thought why not! 


1.Would you rather go out with messy hair and nice make-up or Nice hair and no make-up?
i would personally have to choose messy hair and nice make-up just for the simple fact that everyones hair looks nicer when you have nice makeup and chances are, you could find a way to rock the messy hairstyle! 

2.Would you rather shave your eyebrows or have your eyelashes fall out?
i would rather shave my eyebrows because i could always use some form of makeup to make it look as though i have eyebrows even if i don't! And i cannot finish my makeup without applying mascara because my eyes look so small without it!

3.Would you rather be forced to shop at only MAC or Sephora for the rest of your life?
i haven't ever shopped at Sephora before but i know it has a crazy amount of brands stocked so i would have to say sephora because i could have so many options of makeup and I'm pretty sure i could find some MAC dupes whilst looking at other makeup brands. 

4.Would you rather wear lipgloss/lipliner look or 80's perm?
i would have to say that i would wear the lipgloss/lipliner look because i could always go for a coloured lipgloss and find a lipliner to match that colour and then it wouldn't look as bad as two completely different colours! 

5.Would you rather leave the house with an obvious foundation line or overdone blush?
this one was hard! i would have to say that i would leave the house with an obvious foundation line and hope that i don't run into anyone i know! 

6.Would you rather wear MC Hammer pants or biker shorts in public?
definitely biker shorts! if you were to pair the shorts with a sports top and trainers, it would look like you were going/ had gone to the gym and could easily be gotten away with, whereas i don't think anything would go with the MC Hammer pants! 

7.Would you rather have a bad orange-y spray tan or really weird tan lines that can't be covered?
i would rather have a bad orange-y spray tan because you could scrub it off to a certain extent in the shower and you wouldn't have to live with it forever! 

8.Would you rather have a bad haircut or bad hair colour?
i would rather have a bad hair colour because at least you could dye over it the next day whereas if you got a bad hair cut, you would have to wait until your hair grows to get it how you wanted it. 

9.Would you rather have youtube or twitter taken away forever?
i would rather have my youtube taken away because you could always watch youtube on twitter! cheating i know but its true!

10. Would you rather give up using makeup brushes or mascara? 
I've mentioned this above but using mascara is my holy grail product and something that i cannot live without but as much as i love it, i would have to give it up because i could always find another way to make my eyelashes look longer and more voluminous but i couldn't live without using make up brushes because i would have nothing to blend foundation, eyeshadow, powder etc. 

As this is a TAG post, i tag Shania from (http://bubblybabyelephants.blogspot.co.uk) to say what she would rather do! 

what would you choose? let me know in the comments below!

Face Of The Day/Everyday Makeup!

hello everyone, 

so as i went out for a meal with my family the other night, i decided to do my everyday makeup, but take a little bit more time doing it and not rush it!

There has been some new products that I've introduced into my makeup routine and some old favourites so this post will be a mixture of a review and a every day makeup run down!


Make Up of the day/Everyday Makeup 

The makeup brushes i used were:
real techniques
detailer brush
i love this brush because it is so small and easy to apply eyeshadow exactly where you want it on your eye.

buffing brush
i use this brush for my foundation as it applies the foundation evenly and really blends my foundation into my skin and it doesn't leave any streaky marks.

blush brush
I'm one of those people who don't actually use some brushes according to what they say they should be used for. i use the blush brush purely because it is a big fluffy brush that makes applying powder so easily. 


primer
benefit porefessional - i use this as i have oily skin and by using a primer it means that i don't have to worry about my makeup disappearing during the day.

foundation 
bourjois 123 perfect foundation- i only recently got this foundation and i love it. it has three correcting pigments in it which means that it corrects dark circles,redness and dull complexions.

powder
no7 perfect light pressed powder in fair- i like this powder as it doesn't make my makeup look cakey by applying lots of powder to combat my oily skin. 

eyebrows
collection work the colour eyebrow kit- i don't really need to fill my eyebrows in because they aren't that sparse but the shade in the middle matches my eyebrows so well that when i do fill my eyebrows in, it looks completely natural.

eyeshadows
mac-brulĂ© - i love this shade as it a natural nude shade that i apply before i put my eyeliner on to stop my eyeliner transferring onto my top eyelid. 

revolution- frozen- i only recently discovered this brand and i purely bought the eyeshadow because it was called 'frozen'. However i really do like this shade of eyeshadow, its a little out of my comfort zone as it is a blue shade with silver undertones and it looks really pretty on the top lid and in the tear duct as a highlighter. 

revolution- good life- this is a really pretty blush pink shade that has hints of shimmer undertones and it looks really pretty on the eye. 

eyeliner
maybelline lasting drama pen gel liner- this is my holy grail eyeliner! it is a dupe for the benefit push up liner but i don't like the benefit liner as it is too flaky but this liner lasts all day, and is super easy to apply.

mascara
benefits they're real- i absolutely love using this mascara. it makes my lashes super volumised and long without having to apply loads of coats. 

lipstick
mac cremeshene creme cup- i bought this lipstick when i went to a MAC counter for my birthday and i wear this lipstick pretty much everyday. it is a mix between a light nude and a pretty pink and is suitable for every occasion. it is my go-to lipstick. 

There will be more blog posts coming more frequently as i have now written down what blog posts i am going to be doing for the next couple of weeks.
