beauty tag!

I found this game/questionnaire on the net. I think it's pretty fun to do!


SKINCARE


How many times do you wash your face daily? 
- Twice.


What skin type do you have? 
- Normal/Combination - Sensitive


What is your current cleanser? 
- Physiogel Cleanser in the morning, Olay Total Effects Cleanser at night.


Do you exfoliate?
- Yep.


What brand do you use? 
- Olay Clarify and Cleanse Daily Scrub


What moisturizer do you use? 
- Physiogel AI Cream in the morning, Physiogel Cream before going to bed. (as per recommendation of my dermatologist since I have uber sensitive skin)


Do you have freckles?
- None.


Do you use eye cream? 
- Nope, although I think I should start using one. What brand would you suggest?


Do you or did you have acne prone skin?
- Not really acne prone. Just a zit once in a while.


Did you ever have to use Pro-activ? 
- Nope.


MAKE-UP 


What foundation do you use? 
- I use Revlon Beyond Natural Skin Matching Make-up (not really a foundation, more of a tinted moisturizer) and Revlon ColorStay Mineral Mousse alternately. I'd prefer to use ColorStay Mineral Mousse for medium coverage everyday, but I use Beyond Natural Skin Matching Make-up for light/sheer coverage to let my skin breathe.

How about concealer?
- No concealer right now. But I prefer to use pencil concealers.


Do you know your undertone color?
- Cool undertone, I think.


What do you think of fake eyelashes?
- I think they're really pretty! They really enhance your eyes. Although they can be a hassle to put on and take off. I'd use them on very special occasions. Other than that, I'm fine with my lashes.


Did you know that you are supposed to change your mascara every 3 months?
- Yep. I don't use mascara though :)


What brand of mascara do you use?
- None


Sephora or MAC?
- No Sephora here :( But their products look nice!


Do you have a MAC Pro-card? 
- Nope


What makeup tools do you use in make up application? 
- I use a lot of liquid/cream stuff so I don't use a lot of tools. Just my fingers mostly. But I do use an ELF brush for my powder bronzer and a damp sponge for my wet & dry powder foundation. I'll be needing an eyeshadow brush soon when I get my eyeshadow palette!


Do you use make-up base/primer for the eyes?
- Nope.


For the face?
- Just moisturizer and foundation for the whole face. I actually considered using BB creams, but I'm currently good with my moisturizer-fonda combo.


What is your favorite eyeshadow (color or shade)? 
- Neutral Colors. I'm gonna get an eyeshadow palette this Christmas yey!


Do you use pencil or liquid eyeliner?
- Before I used IN2IT Liquid Eyeliner with felt-tip applicator which was amazing! Now I use Revlon Luxurious Color Kohl Eyeliner pencil (batang Revlon lang haha). I super love it! It comes with it's own smudger so I could go with strong, fine lines or a soft, smudged finish.




How often do you poke your eyes with an eyeliner? 
- Rarely. I'm usually careful when putting on eyeliner.


What do you think of pigment eyeshadows? 
- Haven't tried them yet. But starting 2011, I'm gonna use eyeshadows more.


Do you use mineral makeup? 
- Just mineral powder foundation.


What is your favorite lipstick? 
- I'm really not into lipsticks. I only use tinted balms and lipgloss.


How about lipgloss? 
- No specific brand really. Now I use Nivea Natural Volume. I used Lancome Juicy Tubes before too. I'd like to try Burt's Bees or Duwop Lip Venom.


What is your favorite blush to use? 
- I've been using The Body Shop Lip and Cheek Stain since last year. I love how it looks pretty natural. But I think NARS and SmashBox have awesome cream blushes too. I'm interested in trying Covergirl and Olay Simply Ageless Cream blush too. No powder blush for me.




Do you buy your makeup on ebay? 
- Nope. It takes the fun out of shopping haha!


Do you like drugstore makeup? 
- Hiyep :)


Do you go to CCOs (Cosmetic Company Outlets)? 
- Nope. I want to go to one!


Did you ever consider taking make-up classes? 
- Oh yeah!


Are you clumsy in putting on makeup? 
- I don't think so. Everyday makeup is a breeze. Although for special occasions, I have to practice the night before haha! Especially for eye makeup. I'm such a noob when it comes to eyeshadows.


Name a makeup crime that you hate? 
- foundation that is too light for your skintone


Do you like colorful shades of makeup (lipstick,eyeshadow) or neutral ones?
- Neutral makeup. For colorful shades, I take it out on my nail polish instead :) (wooh Sally Hansen!)




Which celebrity(ties) always has great make up? 
- Jennifer Lopez, Katy Perry


If you had to leave the house using just ONE make up item, what would you use? 
- Mineral Mousse




Could you ever leave the house without any makeup on? 
- I'll have to have at least some powder on.


Do you think you look good even without any makeup on? 
- If I don't have any allergic reactions on my face, I'd say I can do without makeup.


In your opinion, what is the BEST makeup line? 
- Hmmm... I've been using a lot of Revlon, so I'll stick with that for now. But once I get rich imma gonna try SmashBox and NARS and MAC and Urban Decay! haha!


A quick run-down of your everyday makeup routine:
- start with clean skin. moisturizer (Physiogel AI Cream). foundation (either Revlon Mineral Mousse or Beyond Natural Makeup). lip balm (Maybelline Lip Balm in Strawberry). blush (The Body Shop Lip and Cheek Stain). dust powder all over face (either Revlon ColorStay Mineral Foundation or Natural Rice Dual Wet&Dry Foundation). dust a little bronzer (ELF Natural Radiance Blusher in Bronzed). eyeliner (Revlon Luxurious Color Kohl Eyeliner in Black Truffle). finish with lip gloss (Nivea Natural Volume). kulang pa yan ng concealer and eyeshadow and mascara ha! haha!




What do you think of Makeup? 
- It's my instant stress-reliever. If I need a quick energy boost, I just swipe on some lipgloss. Makeup is an enhancement, not a necessity. Also, my friends know that I like a lot of guy stuff (rock music, WWE, muay thai, etc.) So me loving make-up confirms that hell yeah, I'm still a girlie-girl. hahah!




Alright, your turn! Tag!
Just a few hours before Christmas. HAVE A BEAUTILICIOUS CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

super sally

i am the type who would not get a professional manicure unless really necessary since the nail polish chips off just after 2-3 days. this is probably due to the ingredients of my contact lens solution which i use everyday. so when i feel like having my nails done (and i love loud colors by the way. i am particularly fond of maroons and purples and reds and pinks and bronze), i just paint them myself. let's see... 

PROS:
- much much cheaper than getting a professional manicure. either way the color would just stay for 4 days max

CONS:
- hassle. takes around 30 minutes to do both hands. (1 clear base coat, 2 coats of color, 1 clear top coat x 10 fingernails) + drying time
- my right hand looks a lot uglier than my left (since i apply color using my left hand). parang pininturahan ng pre-school :(

a couple of weeks ago, i got 2 Sally Hansen Color Quick Fast Dry Nail Color Pens (whew!) in Chicago. one in Hot Pink and another in Stone. hmmm...

PROS:
- a bit more expensive than ordinary nail polish (a bottle of local nail polish would be 20-40PHP -- which i use just once or twice kasi natutuyo sya kaagad. a Sally Hansen nail color pen is about 8-9USD -- which i could use a couple more times) but is still cheaper than getting my nails professionally done. wala pang babayarang tip haha!
- much faster than using ordinary nail polish. the pen design makes the application a breeze. just make sure that the nail polish glides through the brush first before application to avoid streaks. plus it dries faster too! i finished in 6-8 minutes (top coat and drying time included)
- because of the pen design, even my right hand fingernails look pretty good now.
- others might hate the big brush, but i love it. makes the application even faster.
- well, it is Sally Hansen, so the product is pretty good. just 1 coat + 1 clear top coat (ito pwede na yung tig-20 pesos na nail polish) would last a week and a half to two.

CONS:
- 8-9 USD
- the bigger brush makes it harder to do french tips (although i really suck at doing french tips anyway, so i shall leave that to the professionals)
- the casing is black, so i couldn't see how much more polish is left.
- saan ba meron nito sa pilipinas? must check other watsons branches! or sa rustan's kaya? hmm...

there are other cute colors to choose from. i'm using hot pink right now (shown in photo). loveee! must get more! i want one in Black Cherry, one in Purple and another one in Dusk!
