Hi everyone and happy Monday! I hope all of you had a fabulous weekend! I’m so flattered by all of the awards that lifewithlilred has been nominated for in the past week and this latest tag is no exception. I was so excited when my friend, Aurora, over at hlauroremode nominated me for the Beauty Blogger Tag because I’ve never been before! Every time I see this tag on other posts I get green with envy and wonder when it’s going to be my turn so today’s post is such a treat! Thank you so much for the nomination, Aurora! Everyone please be sure to give her page some loving, too! Now let’s check out the rules for the Beauty Blogger Tag:
The Rules:
- Tag the blogger that nominated you.
- Answer the questions you were given.
- Nominate 10 other beauty blogs of your choice.
- Choose 10 questions for your nominees to answer.
- Inform your chosen bloggers that you nominated them.
Q & A:
What is your beauty routine?
I use a cream cleanser and an exfoliater every morning and then use an eye cream, a moisturizer, and a serum afterwards. Once I get my skin ready for the day, I apply my makeup and then straighten my hair with the assistance of Fiji oil.
How often do you exercise?
Never. Unless eating pizza counts.
Do you organize your makeup and nail polish?
I wouldn’t necessarily call my makeup organized but I do know where everything I need is in my bathroom cabinet. I actually don’t really wear nail polish so keeping them organized is never a problem for me since I only wear black polish on occasion!
Can you go out without wearing makeup?
Yep! It took me a long time to be comfortable and confident enough to be able to do it but now I go out makeup free all the time. In fact, I went shopping without my makeup on just last night!
How long does it take to put on your makeup?
It used to take me such a long time to do my makeup but now I’d say that my morning routine (shower, prepping my skin, makeup, hair) takes about forty-five minutes.
How often do you wash your makeup brushes?
Oh jeez, never. That’s something that I definitely need to be better at!
What is your favorite store to buy clothes at?
I love H&M as well as the occasional splurge at Express and American Eagle Outfitters.
How do you keep your skin soft?
At least three or four times out of the week I apply lotion from my hoard all over before bed. I like putting it on before I hit the hay because I know that it’s going to do its thing all night and then I can get the residue and scent washed away in the morning.
What motivates you?
People who are successful because they did things their own way.
What is your “smell good” routine?
That’s an easy one! My Country Apple spray from Bath & Body Works. I LOVE apple fragrances and originally I was using Victoria’s Secret’s Enchanted Apple. Unfortunately, that scent was discontinued so when I found B&BW’s Country Apple during one of their big sales, I stocked up! I seriously don’t know what I’m going to do if they ever stop making that scent because I was legitimately devastated when VS no longer carried their Enchanted Apple.
