This or That (part 1 Makeup)

Q's
Blush or bronzer?
Blush!

Neutral eyes or colorful eyes?
I like both, but if I had to choose one for the rest of my life for an everyday look I guess neutral! You can really make mostly anything look neutral anyways (:

Powder foundation or liquid foundation?
Liquid - because I need the coverage

Dark or colorful nails?
Colorful!!

Brush or sponge?
Sponge - I just like the finish a lot better

Pressed or loose eyeshadow?
Pressed - I typically don't really like loose products

Lipgloss or lipstick?
Lipgloss. My lips peel like mad, so I need that glossy finish

Liquid or pencil liner?
If I have to choose one of these, pencil

Waterproof or washable mascara?
Washable - i never use waterproof because it is bad for your lashes ...
I may try waterproof though for special occasions

Liquid or stick (pot) concealer?
Uhh this is a hard one. I'm currently using a liquid one but I like pot concealers because they give more coverage?


And that concludes part 1 of my on-going This or That tag series! Stay tunes for more if these each day and please feel free to leave your choices in the comments!!

Would You Rather tag

I saw this tag on Frmheadtotoe's channel and i found it very interesting.  It seemed really fun to do, so as a part of my October blogging, i am here to do it!

Feel free to leave your answers to these questions in the comments! I had so much fun with this tag!! (x

1.) Would you rather lose all of your mascaras, eyeliners, lipsticks, and lipglosses or lose all of your palettes and eyeshadows?

I'd definitely say that I'd rather lose all of my mascaras, eyeliners, lipsticks and lipglosses. Just because first, i have an eyeshadow obsession, and second, i have a lot less of the mascaras, eyeliners and lip stuff to lose.  If i were to lose all of them, it doesnt say that i couldnt re-buy them. I basically use the same mascaras and eyeliners over and over again, so i'd just rebuy my fluidline and UD 24/7 pencil and a mascara and i'd be good to go.  However, i have a fortune in eyeshadows and palettes that are mostly limited edition or expensive and I'd hate to lose them (x

2.) Would you rather chop off all your hair or never be able to cut it again?

I'd rather chop off all my hair! for sure

because to say that you can never do something again is scary. and I've always wanted to try wearing those cute asian wigs anyway x)

3.) Would you rather have a coral cheek or a pink cheek?

I think pink matches my skin tone better !

4.) If you had $1000 to spend, would you rather buy clothes or makeup?

Makeup! lol. And I am sure that my friends would all know my answer to this.  Ideally i SHOULD be buying clothes, since i need more of that, but I have a makeup obsession ~ so i would spend it all on makeup.

5.) Would you rather apply lipstick as eyeliner, or eyeliner as lipstick?

I'd say lipstick as eyeliner (if it is safe) because a red liner looks really pretty, but black lips are a bit scary - at least on me ;]

6.) Would you rather only shop at MAC or Sephora?

Sephora/ sorry MAC!

I do love MAC but their collections are a bit redundant (on a side note, that's why i'm looking forward to the new Glamourdaze collection).  Sephora constantly comes out with new things and new brands and there is so much more selection.  

7.) Would you rather only use one eyeshadow color or one lip color for the rest of 

your life?

one lip color! As you probably have seen from the question before, i LOVE eyeshadows. They are my fave makeup product. On the other hand, i hardly use different lip colors because my lips peel easily so i usually stick to the same thing anyway.

8.) Would you rather wear winter clothes in summer or summer clothes in winter?

i HATE being hot (i live in hawaii) / so i guess summer clothes in the winter - and never ever go out LOL

9.) Would you rather have dark nails or bright nails all year round?

i think bright/ i used to only wear dark nail colors, but now i like color, and dark colors tend to just look black while bright colors pop and have more variety

10.) Would you rather give up your favorite lip product or your favorite eye product?

favorite lip product

(i dont think i need to explain this one xD )

11.) Would you rather only be able to wear your hair in a ponytail or a messy bun?

Messy bun, i love messy hairdos.  But i look terrible in high ponytails

12.) Would your rather never be able to paint your nails again or never use lipgloss?

hmmm... probably never be able to wear lipgloss

13.) Would you rather shave your eyebrows and have none at all or sharpie them in 

everyday?

uhh, this one is difficult.

can i draw them in if i shave them? if so then shave

14.) Would you rather live without makeup or nail polish?

without nail polish! i love makeup wayyyyy too much !

SO

that tag was really fun, and a little difficult for some questions

the hardest one was the winter clothes and summer clothes, and the eyebrow one. yikes! hehe. 

again, please leave your ansers in the comments! i'd love to hear what you guys think!

September Favorites 2012

Hello everyone! It is the end of September ~ and onto my October Blogging.
This post will be (as the title states) my September favorite beauty products!!

So let's jump right into the products i've been loving this month!

1. Bare Minerals original (in Light)
I use this powder foundation over a bb cream or tinted moisturizer. It provides me with enough coverage over something else. A huge plus is that it doesn't break me out. I like the original formula and not the matte, though I have oily skin. The matte doesn't have enough coverage and just doesn't look good...

2. Revlon kissable lip balm stains! Loveeee these (:
I especially like the colors sweetheart, and honey

3. Benefit They're Real mascara
This mascara is awesome (: it seriously does everything -- length, volume, everything lol (because that's all I really look for in mascara)
I think it holds curl also because I have a friend with stubborn straight lashes and she loves this too! In fact she is the one who bought this mascara for me (:

4. MAC all that glitters
Beautiful rosy gold color !

5. Étude House H2O Proof eye primer
Makes your eye makeup waterproof and last all day!!

6. MAC paint pot in Indianwood
Doesn't crease at all and can serve as an eyeshadow base. It looks super pretty alone too and it's perfect for my lazy days ~

7. Sally Hansen Pacific Blue nail polish
I got so many compliments on my nails this month !!
Have it on my nails right now !!

8. MAC Dipdown gel liner (Fluidline)
This is a dark brown gel liner. It looks a lot more natural but still deepens your eyes and makes them stand out. I found out about this from Angel, or Beautifymeeh !

9. Smashbox brow powder kit (taupe color and wax)
I love this! It keeps my brows in place all day! And fills them in without being too harsh

10. My beauty blender!
It isn't the real thing, but I got it from a friend and I love how it makes makeup so easy to apply with a softer finish

11. The body shop kabuki brush - for my powder foundation (:
It is sooo soft and probably the most dense brush I have.
I love it because it makes my powder foundation go on so easily and evenly



Let me know if you guys want reviews on any of these items! I'll go in depth for the items you are interested in, with pictures and swatches as well (:
