The Beauty Blog Tag

Hola Dalimoo's,

I wanted to do a tag post and came across Beauty Broadcast's post and thought I this was a nice one to do.  If you like this post, I tag you and please comment below so I can read them.

Ok lets get on with it...

1. Is your hair naturally curly or straight?

My hair is course (frizzy tendencies) and naturally straight but it does have a slight kink, fine but a lot of it!  I am not a lover of my hair to be honest!

2.  Do you dye it yourself or go to a salon?

I get bored very easily and I go from having a few highlights to full on bright blonde to very dark or red!  So I only get a hairdresser to colour my hair if I am having highlights otherwise it would bankrupt me!

3. Do you wear the same style everyday, or do you change it?

I have my go to hair style which is just messy bun with my fringe gripped back.  I do have a ton of tools and experiment every so often and when I am in the mood I will rock a different hairstyle to work or at the weekend!  I very rarely have my hair down though I don't think I suit my hair down especially when it gets a bit longer, I always feel I look like I have that puppy dog ear look....(think poodle ears - without the curls - a lot of hair!)

4. Do you do your own mani/pedi or go to a salon?

Before I had kids I used to have acrylics and I used to get them done every two weeks and have my toes down once a month.  Now that I have kids, I don't wear acrylics and I have now got a passion for nail art and varnishes so I tend to do my own nails and toes, the only thing I miss about acrylics is the fact they never chipped and chipping is my biggest bug bare when doing your own Mani!!!!

5. How often do you change your nail polish?

Depends on my mood!  If you saw my nails now you would be disgusted.  I have no nail varnish on three nails the rest are chipped so bad but I am just not in the mood to do nails at the moment.  But other times I could change my polish every other day and my nails will look all pretty and nice...

6. Do you polish your toes in the winter or just the summer?

I polish my toe nails in all seasons.  I tend to change the nail polish up if I have a big night planned as I could be wearing open toe shoes! The nice thing about having polish on your toes is they never chip so they can look really good for a month before I need to think about replacing the colour.

7. How long does it take for you to put on makeup?

You would think having two kids I would have mastered this to minutes but no it can take me a good 20 minutes to do my make up.  On a night out it can take longer - heh don't judge this girl's face needs a miracle to be facing the world!

8. What do you do first? Face or eyes?

I have always done my face first.  Since really getting in to beauty and all things make up I have noticed MUAs tend to do the eyes first.  I don't feel comfortable doing it this way, probably because its the way I have always done it so I just stick with what I know.

9. Do you collect makeup or just buy what you need when you need it?

I dunno how to answer this one to be honest.  I wouldn't say I am a collector of make up because my collection compared to others is pretty small but my collection compared to my friends is pretty large!  I do buy things I don't really need just to try it out and I also buy things because I have run out and I need them.  So I suppose it is a mixture of both.

10. How often do you wear false eyelashes?

Back in the day I used to wear them every Friday/Saturday night (am I making myself sound old?) but these days I cannot be bothered with the faffing around!  I have found a good combo of mascaras that give me the same effect.

11. Do you do a full face of makeup everyday?

NO!  I have never been a lover of a full face of make up on a day to day basis, as I like to feel made up on a night out, and if you are wearing all that make up during the week then come the weekend you will need to plaster it on more to feel different....don't you think?

I tend to use concealer, powder, blusher/bronzer, may be a sweep of colour on my eye and mascara day to day.

12. Do you wear makeup when you're home alone or with family?

Depends.  I usually give myself at least one day off from wearing make up to let my skin breath but if I have guests at home then I would put a little something on.  I can look ill/tired without make up.

13. Will you leave the house without makeup?

Yes.  BUT I will put either my sunglasses on or my reading glasses on this helps hide the tired looking eyes and the dark circles which can  make me look tired or ill.

14. How many high-end products do you have?

Not many to be honest.  I have got more than I had say five years ago but if I can find a highstreet dupe then I would always go for the cheaper option.  But if money was no object I probably would be a high end whore...what can I say I am fickle...

15. Do you plan your OOTD every night or decide when you're getting dressed?


If this question is based on every day life, then I tend to just look in my wardrobe and see what doesn't need ironing.  On a night out I tend to work it out in advance as there is nothing worse than choosing on the night for you not to feel comfortable it would just ruin the night.

16. How often do you change your handbag?

Very often.  Like I said I am very fickle and I get bored very easily so I like to change it up all the time.  The one I have at the moment is a "inspired" Longchamp tote bag, it holds everything including the kitchen sink.

17. What time do you wake up and go to sleep?

I have to get up every morning at 6am for work so I try to get to bed for around 10pm but recently it is more 11pm.

18. How often or when do you workout?

Not often enough to be honest.  I am not a fan of gyms so when I am in the mood for exercise I do it at home.  I have a kettle bell which I really love (when I use it!)

19. Left handed or right handed?

Right.  But I can write with my left if I am ever needed to!

20. How tall are you?

5ft2 (with 30in leg!)....sorry had to throw that out there haha

21. Do you speak any foreign languages?

No.  I wish I did.

22. How many pets do you have?

If you count fish as pets then yeah we have 4 - two Black Mores, one Redcap and one Fancy.

23. How often are you on Blogger?

I am on Blogger most days, bloglovin every day.

24. Do you read comments posted on blogs?

Yeah!  I am nosey like that.

25. Do you keep a list of products to try as you see other posts?

Yep, I suppose that is why I never have any money as the list doesn't stay a list for long!

26. How did you come up with your blog name?

I dunno I-  I just thought of Forrest Gump and his quote and made it my own!

27. What kind of camera do you use for your photographs?

I use my iPhone for my pictures.  I haven't had anyone complain about my pictures and I think you can get some really great pictures from your phone.

28. How often do you clean your house?

What a random question!  The person who originally thought of these questions were obviously OCD!  I tidy everyday but deep clean once a week!  Is that dirty? I dunno...

29. What's your favorite colour?

Red and Black together. 

30. Do you swear?

Yep. I am afraid I have a potty mouth!

31. What are you doing with the rest of your day?

Looking after my sick son!  Gonna make dinner, take my daughter to swim club, order a sainsbury's shop and purchase some Xmas presents!


Until next time my lovelies

Ciao for now xx
