Beauty Blogger Tag !

Hello there, my lovelies !

A few days ago, I was tagged by the lovely Ellie from Little Red  to do the Beauty Blogger tag ! So, before we get started, I’d like to say a huge thank you to Ellie for nominating me ! I haven’t done a tag before, so I figured that it’d be a fun post for me to do, and it’d be something a little different for you guys to read too ! Enjoy ! 

1. Name a beauty routine you barely do.
I rarely apply foundation. It’s not that I don’t own different foundations, or don’t know how to apply them, I just feel that I don’t really need it on a daily basis. I’m blessed with fairly clear skin (I get the occasional spot and blemish, but nothing super bad), so I don’t really need the coverage that foundation gives. I usually just use a concealer and set it with a powder if I’m going out during the day, and on days that I need a little more coverage, I like to use a BB cream. Obviously I’ll wear foundation if I’m going out at night, or going somewhere special, but because I have super fair skin, I’m yet to find a foundation that doesn’t look too cakey or orange on my skin to wear during the day – it’s a never ending search !


2. Is washing your makeup brushes something you do regularly ?
I’m embarrassed to admit it, but I don’t wash my makeup brushes as often as I should (it’s gross, I know !). In my defence, I’ve gotten a lot better at remembering to do it over the past year or so, but it’s still such a chore ! I don’t wear makeup every day and so I only use my makeup brushes a few times a week, so I think I use that as an excuse to not wash them as often as I should, haha.



3. How long will you last with chipped nail varnish ?
I can’t really give an honest answer to this one ! I very rarely wear nail polish nowadays because I’m not allowed to wear it at work, and I don’t really see the point in spending time painting my nails just to have to take it off for work a day later ! 


4. How long do you put off buying/replacing a beauty or nail polish product even if you need it ? (i.e. topcoat, foundation and so on).
I’m pretty bad when it comes to putting off buying products that I need. If it’s something that I desperately need, such as deodorant or make-up remover, I’ll just head out and buy it as soon as I can. However, if I need to replace a beauty product that I already have because it’s pretty much finished, I’ll literally squeeze every last drop out of that product and convince myself that I don’t really need a new one, just to save myself time and money – being a student has turned me into a super scrimper !

5. What is your worst beauty habit ?

I’m forever biting/licking my lips without even realising that I’m doing it, so I always end up with super dry, chapped lips – nightmare !

6. Name something non-beauty related that you put off doing all the time.
Coursework. Every time that I get handed a new piece of coursework at uni, I promise myself that I’ll start it way before the deadline so that I don’t end up stressing at the last minute… But I never do. I always leave it until a few weeks before it’s due – I’m the worst procrastinator ever !

7. When going out somewhere, do you leave getting ready until the last minute or not ?

No, I like to start getting ready pretty early if I know I’m going out somewhere. I hate rushing at the last minute and ending up not liking my hair or make-up ! 

 8. Can you commit to spending bans ?
I can ! I’m actually pretty good at saving money and finding the things that I want at a cheaper price, so it’s not often that I actually have to put myself on a ‘spending ban’ ! 


9. How organised are your makeup and nail polish collections ?
I don’t really have much of a nail polish collection, so there isn’t really much to organise ! My nail polishes are just kept in a big make-up bag beside all of my other beauty products. I suppose that my make-up collection is fairly organised. I don’t actually have a huge collection, so all of my different make-up bits and pieces are kept in separate little baskets and boxes. I’d really like to get some of the transparent storage boxes from Muji, they look fab !

10. What is the longest time you’ve gone without writing a blog post ?
Well, I’ve only been blogging for around a month, so I guess that I can’t really answer that properly ! I try to have a new post up every three-four days, but the longest that I’ve left between posts is around a week, which isn’t very long !

So, there you have it ! I hope that you guys enjoyed this post !  As you guys know, the whole point in doing a ‘tag’ post is to tag other bloggers, so I’m nominating…

Shona, from Shona Elizabeth. 
Daphne, from Peanut Butter and Chocolate Life. 
Claire, from The Beauty of This. 
Nikki, from The Lunar Lights. 
and Katie, from Subtle Coral 

(Tag, you're it !)

Let me know what tags you guys have been doing, I’d love to get involved in more tag posts – I had a lot of fun doing this one !

See you all next time !

Much love,
