Beauty Crowd is something I have been a fan of for a while and so when I seen that they had started their own blog tag , I thought too right I am joining in. They have set out a variety of questions that they have asked then answered themselves and I love this sort of thing as it is fun and helps me get to know the person who is doing the blog a little bit more. So here are their questions with my answers I would love to see you join in too. 1. Would you rather be able to apply eyeliner perfectly or be able to contour like Kim Kardashian?
Oh most definately eyeliner, I can not go one day without applying liner its almost my addiction. 2. Would you rather wear foundation which is two shades lighter or two shades darker? I would wear lighter as I could always put a gorgeous blush on to make it look fab, I am not a fan of the orange or tanned look anyway. 3. Would you rather wear no lipstick ever again or no eyeliner ever again? Has to be lipstick , as I have already said, liner is my addiction , could not go without it. 4. Would you rather give up your foundation or your mascara? I would rather give up my mascara , I have very short lashes anyway and theres always falsies hehe. 5. Would you rather apply your makeup yourself with no mirror whilst on a bumpy car journey or ask a 5 year old child to do it? I can actually apply my makeup in the car without a mirror anyway so it is definately my option, if I let my 5yr old do it he would have me like a clown for sure. 6. Would you rather wear exactly the same makeup every single day for the rest of your life or drastically change your makeup every single day for the rest of your life (even if it doesn’t suit you!)? I have to say the same makeup as I am not great for drastic changes . 7. Would rather have dodgy brows or have patchy fake tan? Ooooh hard one, but I have dodgy brows already so this is my answer lol. 8. Would you rather have perfectly white teeth or have your perfect hairstyle? Teeth, I have had a nightmare with my teeth all my life not for discolouration but for their unperfect shape and size. Having those white straight teeth are a dream to me. 9. Would you rather wear the same colour nail varnish for the rest of your life or be able to change the colours of your varnish whenever you like but it’s always a little bit smudged? Oh has to be perfect or I will pick at it so have to say the same colour . 10. Would you rather have lots of scented body and perfume products that smell amazing to you but to everyone else you smell like pine tree car air freshener or have products that smell average to you but smell incredible to those around you? I would prefer to smell lovely to others as I can never smell perfumes and usually spray too much and over do it lol, so if the husband likes me smelling nice it would make me feel better. So there you have it my answers. If you wish to join in feel free to copy all questions and Beauty Crowds Tag Badge and tweet them your answers to @Beautycrowd

Last week I was contacted by a friend who had been following my posts . The lady wanted to send me some products to reveiw and share with you as she had soo many products she had not yet opened or used . In her words ''Too many products and not enough faces'' I am always more than willing to take them of peoples hands and it usually consists of doing swap boxes or sending a small payment but in this case the lady has down right refused to even let me send her a bunch of flowers and thankyou card , totally selfless and such a generous lady , Thankyou gorgeous. First of all I would like to say that this lady has asked not to be named in this post so I am respecting her wishes . This is something I have never done before and am finding it rather difficult to use the term ''LADY'' instead of her name but it truly shows how selfless this lady really is. We have become friends on facebook and we talk about everything and anything ,usually consisting of something that makes us giggle or type for hours without realising and I have really loved and appreciated her long chats of rants and laughs . I would just like to make it clear
I would like to share the card that was written for me with you. To Lisa. I contacted this lady this morning to say my thankyou's but words really can not say enough for what she has done. I have been made to feel special and needed and I am filled with a sort of pride that she has done this for me in such a selfless way. Friends like her are hard to find , not just for the gifts but for being there and making my day feel brighter . So here it all is......... all 80+ items.....wow! Yes ... I was in complete shock . Never has anyone sent me such amazing items in a parcel like this and it is most definately my biggest and best gift I have ever received .
My jaw dropped and the only words that were able to spill from it was ''wow, OMG, amazing, oh as if , argh, I so wanted this, I love it, I can not believe it'' Also a few dripples of delight along the way too lol. I have honestly never received anything like this. The whole box consists of all the colours and shades I would use , all new , sealed and unused and put together with no selfish or greed. The lady has made this box together with selfless and generous thoughts and I am soo grateful for everything inside. I will be reveiwing every single item to say my thankyou (because she will not allow me to send her anything in return) as she loves to read the posts and hope she enjoys them. If you see anything in the pics you wish me to review more than others , let me know and I will put it on my list of to do next . I hope you come back to read more on these and thankyou . Being stuck at home all the time can be depressing and so I decided to put some makeup on , do my hair and wear a nice dress. I got a new one last month and still have not worn it so the navy skater came out tags and all. The dress is a navy skater style dress with a lovely white lace embroidery around the waist and has short sleeves. It is very comfortable and can be bought from Ax Paris for £30 in many different colours. I feel soo comfortable in this that I would love some in other shades for summer . I feel elegant and classic and the lace contrast at first scared me but now I like it . The length is ok and paired with tights can change the whole look altogether. I feel more comfortable with tights , I think it is because my legs are soo white they no longer look mine so will have to tan up ready for summer . It took me 6 years to grow my hair out of a drastic mistake I made . I have always had blonde hair but I fancied a change and tried the home kits to lighten it which turned it the wrong colour and ruined my hair. I went to a local salon to ask what to do and they ridiculously said dying my hair a darker shade would help hide the horrendous shade it had turned,so I booked myself in, payed £60 and they turned it a really dark, nearly black. I was horrrified . I looked like Morticia Adams with my light complexion against it and I went back 2 days later and complained as my hair was ruined totally, each strand of my hair was like elastic and was snapping soo easily I was scared it would all just fall out. They apologised and told me that the best thing to do was to let my hair settle, not colour it no more and grow the lot out. After 6 years it eventually started to look like my hair again after I chopped alot of it out and put up with the dreaded mistake. Never again will I colour it . The only downfall now is that I was was born with gorgeous thick hair and it can become soo unmanageable that it knots easily in seconds of brushing. I have resolved myself to buying wigs to hide my hair because it has become so thick I simply have no time or unable to make it look presentable without spending ages each morning straightening it. To be honest the heat is no good for my hair either all the time so if its not able to be hidden under a wig then I have to tie it up and I do not suit my hair up at all. This week I have been booked in by my husband with a lovely lady in our village to give it a good trimming. I do not want it cutting , I wish to keep the length as I want it as long as it will grow but it most definately needs thinning so I will be going for some layers and shapening to make it easier for me to handle. So look out for my post sharing my new hair with you . Not sure what to wear yet today , but I am excited for my new hair cut Thursday. Think I will stay in my PJ's and have a duvet day. It has become rather quiet in my house and I have nothing to do other than washing clothes.
As you know I am a great fan of The Beauty Crowd live stream and join in every week without fail along with some amazing bloggers and this week I got the shock of my life .
On yesterdays show, e.l.f. Store Cardiff Manager - Hanne Jenkins talked us through 3 key makeup staples. Each week the lovely Hanne tells us how to create the perfect flawless foundation base, a fabulous lip look and bold wearable eyes and if you ask her some questions she will reply to them live on air. Being the first week for Beauty Crowd and Elf team on Youtube , They made it also accessable to view and join in the social stream over at E.l.f Website, it was a successful event and they even placed a list of all items they were going to use prior to the show so if you wished ,you were able to join in and follow the steps along with Hanne who is e.l.f. Store Cardiff manager and Makeup Artist extraordinaire! For more tips and advice follow Hanne on Twitter @HanneJenkins . This week I got the shock of my life . We were all told to add them on skype during the show. I was having a nightmare as it is something I do not usually use so it took me ages to figure it out, but I got there. I saw them previously in the week along with the team who were trying to get their new skype feature working. (The Brow Guy was the highlight of the show that time with his cheeky charm). After an amazing show as ever with the great tips and makeup tutorial we were all told they were going to try and ring someone on skype. They had a few issues at first with sound barriers but eventually got through to the lovely Ashley Tiernan and then they rang me ! I have never felt soo nervous . I never expected them to skype me live on air .I had spent weeks chatting with them on previous shows in the social stream and on their facebook and twitter pages but I felt like I had been rang by a celebrity , it was a true privelage to be apart of their show . I was shaking like a leaf while we talked about makeup and blogging but the team are soo friendly , I knew I was fine . I am just the type of person who gets very nervous but very excited at the same time and it took me a whole hour and a half to calm down afterwards lol . Please watch the video above and follow the links to their sites and networks and let me know if you think this is something you would like to join in with. On Thursday afternoon there will be another show so please watch out for their announcement to go live on their facebook page. Party usually starts around 7pm so grab a bottle, nice bar of chocolate , switch on the show and enjoy. SEE YOU THERE! Theres always talk about who our men have a crush on and of course we always give them that look of despair when they choose someone we are totally in awe of with regards to pretty faces , perfect skin, gorgeous hair or style of fashion so I thought it only fare that I should have my say on who I think are my favourite Girl Crushes of all time .
I did not take long to compile this top 10 at all as I have always been fans of these ladies in one way or another if not their beautiful dresses walking on the red carpet or acting in movies or music screens then it will most likely be their gorgeous faces and beautiful hair. Do you have a top 10 secret girl crush, will you share? |
