So it’s Monday night and as is tradition, I am doing nothing
but killing time on the internet and eating various questionable snacks, apples
with peanut butter or croutons anyone? Whilst on my second apple I decided to
try and make my evening somewhat productive and making note of some blogpost
ideas which is when something occurred to me; despite creating this blog with
the intention of writing about beauty, a subject which I love to talk about,
and creating a whole tab on this blog dedicated to that very topic- I have
never actually written a typically beauty related post.
So here I am, with little inspiration if I’m honest, however
I felt that it would make sense for me to first introduce the beauty side of my
blogging personality in a somewhat formal way, and what better way to do that
than by doing a tag? So instead of doing the regular tag that has been done a
100 times over, I’ve compiled a series of questions from all different tags and
added a couple of my own that will give you a general insight into what I’m
like as a beauty blogger which I will answer as bluntly honest as I possibly
can.
11) Name a beauty regimen that you rarely do.
I guess that would have to be skincare, I’m
ashamed to admit I don’t have a real routine for this, I just cleanse with
whatever I saw in Boots that month that would help whatever was going on with
my annoyingly combination/ acne prone skin and my Simple moisturiser
22) Do you wash your makeup brushes regularly?
I wish I could say yes with confidence but
really that is a matter of opinion. I give my brushes a quick clean every week
or so and I’m now getting into the habit of cleaning them properly at least
once a month if not every two weeks- baby steps.
33) How long does it take you to put on your makeup?
This is completely dependent on the
situation. On a regular day it usually takes somewhere between 15 minutes to an
hour, depending on whether I have overslept or whether I have the motivation to
try. If I’m going out for a night out It can take anywhere between one to two
hours.
44) Will you leave the house without wearing
makeup?
Absolutely not- I have so much respect for
women who can go about their day barefaced, but personally it is completely out
of the question. I’m really insecure and makeup is like my armour- it gives me
strength and just makes me feel more positive- you can tell how I feel about
the way I look just by what my mood is like, chances are if I’m being grumpy
it’s because I’m having a ‘bad makeup day’ or ‘bad body image day’.
55) How many high end products do you have?
I am fortunate enough to have a reasonably
sized collection of high end products considering the wages I get from my part
time job. At the moment my favourites are my new MAC lipstick which is the Viva
Glam II or my Urban Decay NYC palette.
66) Name the 5 makeup products you couldn’t
live without.
My Rimmel ‘Wake Me Up’ concealer in ‘Light’,
my Rimmel ’25 hour lasting finish’ foundation in ‘Ivory’, my MAC eyebrow pencil
in ‘Lingering’, my Rimmel ‘Scandaleyes’ eyeliner and my all go to nudey-pink
lipstick- Revlon Colourburst in ‘Elusive’.
77) What time do you get up and go to sleep?
I go to sleep anywhere between 10.30PM and
5AM depending on how tired I am from the day’s activity however no matter what
time I go to sleep it’s impossible for me to sleep in past 10AM. I have found
that I work the best with between four and 5 hours sleep, even though it
doesn’t help the bags under my eyes.
88) Which beauty product gives you the most
confidence?
Definitely concealer/foundation- I have a
lot of blemishes, spots and redness on my skin a lot of the time in addition to
my natural dark circles- so concealer and foundation give me a lot more confidence
and hide my problem areas.
99) Describe your every day style.
This is difficult because my ‘style’ seems
to be quite eclectic. I have some very grunge elements (like my collection of
denim, flannel and Doc Martens), then some more classic pieces (think lots of
monochrome and little black dresses), my more vintage pieces (50’s dresses will
always have a place in my heart) and finally my more vintage/boho selection
(lots of floral, lace and shirt dresses).
And finally...
110) Your favourite beauty related activities.
I genuinely love shopping, whether it is
online or actually within a store- I especially love Etsy and Depop for
unusual/ unavailable pieces and I could spend days in Selfridges without ever
getting bored. I also really enjoy doing my makeup- I will happily spend hours
in the evening playing with my makeup, finding new techniques and creating new
looks, and my makeup collection is my pride and joy.
So here is my way of introducing you to my
more beauty focused area of my blog- of course I will continue with my more
creative posts and my rambley, train of thought post as well- consider this my
way of sharing another layer of my personality with you all. I can continue to
post my creative work with my random bursts of feminism alongside the posts
about my August favourites and top 10 cleansers.
I hope you will be interested enough to
read my take on this widely blogged about subject.
Lots of Love,
Georgia xx
