First Post- One of those questionnaires you see EVERYWHERE

Greetings! As you can see, this is my first blog post. I decided to just do one of those little Quizzes that spread like a rash across the face of the blogging world.
It's an easy way for getting to know a few factoids about my cosmetic preferences.
As for the direction of this blog? ....I'm... still trying to figure that out.



SKINCARE



  • How many times do you wash your face daily? Twice. Morning before makeup. And then at night after makeup removal.
  • What skin type do you have? Normal - Dry
  • What is your current cleanser? Kiss my face (It's not very good.)
  • Do you exfoliate? When I can get my favorite face soap, yes.
  • What moisturizer do you use? Currently, this equate stuff with spf 15 in it.
  • Do you have freckles? Very faded. I'm a redhead who all but lived outdoors as a child.
  • Do you use eye cream? Eh. Sometimes. Never really notice a difference.
  • Do you or did you have acne prone skin? Very much. :(
  • Did you ever have to use Pro-activ? Yeah... It didn't do crap and made chunks of skin start sloughing off and burning. :(



MAKE-UP



  • What foundation do you use? Whatever I get my hands on. Currently I switch between this NYX stuff I picked up, some Manic Panic stuff, and what's left of my beloved sample from Brazen Cosmetics (She should be releasing it for sale soon.)
  • How about concealer? Physician's Formula green stick thing for acne. And Brazen Cosmetics 'Goodbye to You' under-eye concealer.
  • Do you know your undertone color? Nope. I've been trying to figure it out for years but it seems to constantly evade me. :(
  • What do you think of fake eyelashes? I wish with all my heart that I could get the hang of them. :( My last few efforts ended up with me cursing and throwing the packages in the trash. (They were cheapish. And the glue was awful. And I had no clue what I was doing.)
  • Did you know that you are suppose to change your mascara every 3 months? Yeah, The stuff I like dries out very quickly anyway.
  • What brand of mascara do you use? Too-Faced lash injection (The stuff is awful for my lashes.) and Boots No. 7 stuff (LOVE their mascaras.)
  • Sephora or MAC? Sephora. Though I've actually never touched either.
  • Do you have a MAC Pro-card? A what?
  • What makeup tools do you use in make up application? I wing it. Heh.
  • Do you use make-up base/primer for the eyes? Lime Crime Candy Eye Helper for the rough days (I do a lot of heavy labor yard work.) and Too Faced Shadow Insurance for the more laid back days.
  • For the face? Loreal Studio Secrets. Love love LOVE this stuff.
  • What is your favorite eyeshadow (color or shade)? Yellows, oranges, and whites are what I fall for easily.
  • Do you use pencil or liquid eyeliner? Both. Usually pencil along lid, then liquid for the wingtips.
  • How often do you poke your eyes with an eyeliner? I poke my eyes with Mascara wands more than I do eyeliner. Stuff is brutal.
  • What do you think of pigment eyeshadows? That's what I almost always use. The color pay-off is always the best. :)
  • Do you use mineral makeup? Buh. I don't even know what's what any more. People use the term waaaay to generously.
  • What is your favorite lipstick? Currently on the quest for one. I want to try MAC's Viva Glam and Candy Yum Yum badly.
  • How about lipgloss? Brazen Cosmetics La Femme. It's AMAZING.
  • What is your favorite blush to use? Brazen Cosmetics Perfect 10.
  • Do you buy your makeup on ebay? I hardly buy anything on Ebay. Used to do a lot of Etsy but they're getting too troublesome for a lot of my favorite sellers.
  • Do you like drugstore makeup? I like to experiment with it. :)
  • Do you go to CCOs (Cosmetic Company Outlets)? Nope. You don't find those in my area. Utah is lame.
  • Did you ever consider taking make-up classes? Yep. But I just don't have the money and get nothing but criticism from my family.
  • Are you clumsy in putting on makeup? Sometimes. Usually with Eyeliner or any dark eyeshadow.
  • Name a makeup crime that you hate? Eh... Can't really think of any. To each their own, you know?
  • Do you like colorful shades of makeup (lipstick,eyeshadow) or neutral ones? Both. :)
  • Which celebrity(ties) always has great make up? Kerli is usually gorgeous. And there are a few others... but I'm awful with celebrity knowledge.
  • If you had to leave the house using just ONE make up item, what would you use? Mascara.
  • Could you ever leave the house without any makeup on? Yep. Have plenty of times. I only started really using makeup a year ago.
  • Do you think you look good even without any makeup on? Sure.
  • In your opinion, what is the BEST makeup line? Still testing the waters with all this. I'm a newb at all this still. :P
  • What do you think of Makeup? It's fun, addictive, and always changing. I love being able to transform how I look with just a few colors. :)
