40 is quite a lot of questions and a lot of info but at least if it's on the blog it will always be here and you can come and read it later if you are bored after a few questions!
Skincare!!
1)How many times do you wash your face daily?
Twice, once in the morning and once at night. Ok three if I have been to the gym because I will wash it in the shower while I am there as well. I do hate washing my face with water though, in my house it takes forever for the water to heat up.
2)What skin type do you have?
As most of you know from my constant moaning it is dry dry dry with patches of sebbhoreic eczema, sorry if I spelled that wrong I can never remember how to write or pronounce it!
3)What is your current facial wash?
I have been using Purity Organic Skincare's facial wash for a few weeks now and I really like it as it is a gel and doesn't foam up too much. I hate all the chemicals they put in products to make them foam and I hate foam anyway! I have been using it with Soap and Glory's version of the scrublet, which in my opinion is much better, as it's pink.
4)Do you exfoliate?
Yes, I use a gentle one twice a week and massage it in with my soap and glory massage mitt/scrublet, I hate getting products on my hands! I sometimes use the Sanctuary Spa warming scrub which is lovely, but it can be a bit harsh so only once every week or two.
5)What brand do you use?
Purity organic skincare and The Spa Sanctuary. I would like to try the St Ives warming scrub and the dermabrasion scrub, but since the sanctuary one is both warming and dermabrasion I do sort of think - what's the point having two when 1 does the job? No doubt I will still try them out though.
6)What moisturiser do you use?
I'm currently using Purity Organic Skincare's anti ageing moisturiser as a night cream, for a day cream I either use Simple Derma, Skin MD, Neils Yard or Korres depending on level of eczema that day!
7)Do you have freckles?
They only come out if I have been in the sun. I hate them!.
8)Do you use eye cream?
Yes, I have massive dark circles from years of sleepless nights, long days at work and working in an air conditioned office which is hell on your skin including undereyes. I always use an eye cream morning and night, and use an eye gel if they are really bad in the afternoon. I currently use Korres Materia Herba eye cream and Organic Surge eye gel for cooling and de-puffing.
9)Do you or did you have acne prone skin?
No, I've never had a problem with acne or spots as my skin is so dry!
10)Did you ever have to use Pro-Activ?
Not actually sure what that is so..no!
Make-up!!
11)What foundation do you use?
Too many to count! I love foundation. Dior Forever, Korres Ginger and Vitamins, Nars Sheer Glow and Bourjois Healthy Mix are probably the most used. For long lasting wear it's always the Dior.
12)How about concealer?
I am using Bobbi Brown creamy concealer and Cargo Blu Ray concealer the most at the moment as they are good for dry skin.
13)Do you know your undertone colour?
Well my undertones are supposed to be 'neutral' and I think that's right.
14)What do you think of fake eyelashes?
I love them!! They are a right pain to stick on though. Perfect for contact lens wearers as you don't have to worry about mascara flaking into your eye.
15)Did you know you were supposed to change your mascara every 3 months?
I have usually moved on to a new brand by a month! I only really keep them so I can compare old ones to new ones for the wand and packaging etc.
16)What brand of mascara do you use?
My favourite is YSL's Faux Cils. But I have a whole drawer full and Bourjois, L'Oreal and Maybelline are all very good. Cover girl lash blast is brilliant for the lower lashes to really define them.
I often wear two different ones at once two. I am not really sure why, but I feel I have to keep putting more and more on!
17)Sephora or Mac?
I sometimes go to Calais on the ferry just so I can go to Sephora...is that wrong?
18)Do you have a Mac Pro card?
Eerm no, I wish I did but I am not a make-up artist so I don't think you are allowed?
19)What make-up tools do you use in make-up application?
A lot. I am not really into sponges because I always wonder how you know they are properly clean after you have washed them. I love brushes especially flat topped kabuki brushes and eyeshadow fluff brushes for blending.
20)Do you use make-up base/primer for the eyes?
Yes Mac's prep and prime for eyes or No7. My eyelids are pretty red so it covers this up and makes the shadow last all day.
21)For the face?
Yes either my L'Oreal Studio Secrets or Laura Mercier normally, sometimes I just apply my make-up straight after using my No7 serum so I don't need a separate primer.
22)What is your favourite eyeshadow?colour or shade?
I think Nars Surabaya duo probably gets the most use.
23)Do you use pencil or liquid liner?
Both, liquid for my lid for my lid and pencil in my waterline. I have never found gel liner to be as brilliant as people seem to make out, must just be my eye!
24)How often do you poke your eyes with an eyeliner pencil?
Not that often, I have to be careful as I don't want to poke my contacts!
25)What do you think of pigment eyeshadows?
I only buy colours I can't dupe with pressed such as the Sugarpill and some colours of Mac pigments, simply because they are a bit of a pain and often spill.
26)Do you use mineral make-up?
I don't use loose powder mineral foundation, they just make me look dusty and dry.
27)What is your favourite lipstick?
Mac Patisserie
28?How about lipgloss?
I don't have just one fave how cruel! Estee lauder's Starlet Peach, Mac's Underage and 2N
29)What is your favourite blush to use?
Korres Zeya Maya blush in pink and By Terry sheer liquid blush in #3
30)Do you buy your make-up on Ebay?
Yes but not Mac as it is often fake.
31)Do you like drugstore makeup?
Yes, and much more so since blogging. My faves are Sleek, Maybelline, Gosh, Bourjois and L'oreal.
32)Do you go to CCO's?Cosmetic Company Outlet?
Yes I love them!
33)Did you ever consider taking make-up classes?
No, I would love to but I have a full time job so there is no time.
34)Are you clumsy in putting on makeup?
Not really. Sometimes one eyes eyeliner looks better than the other!
35)Name a makeup crime that you hate?
Foundation that isn't blended properly and black lipliner and pale pink lippie, scary!
36)Do you like colourful shades of make-up (lipstick or eyeshadow) or neutral ones?
Neutral for the majority of the time but I love a bright pink lippie or a nice coral blush.
37)Which celebrity always has great make-up?
Megan Fox looks gorgeous and Katy Perry always looks really girly and pretty.
38)If you could leave the house using just ONE make-up item, what would you use?
Bronzer!
39)Could you leave the house without any make-up on?
I do if I have to but I prefer to wear make-up.
40)Do you think you look good even without any make-up on?
Not good, passable maybe.
41)In your opinion what is the BEST make-up line?
I suppose YSL is the best in terms of quality, its just way too expensive.
42)What do you think of make-up?
I love love love it.
I hope this wasn't too dull and it's 42 questions not 40!
