Title this post the ‘Beauty Blogger Tag’

 

Questions & Answers: 

1. Name a beauty routine you barely do.
 I definitely don't use an exfoliator in my skin care routine as much as I should. I will do it if I remember, or I feel like my face is alittle patchy, but I maybe use an exfoliator once or twice a month.

2. Is washing your brushes something that you regularly do?
 I try....I wash them once a month. I don't use a brush for my foundation anymore so I almost feel like I can get away with it. I will wash my concealer brush more often though.

3. How long do you last with chipped nail varnish?
 I try to paint my nails at least once a week(sometimes if I have time or am bored i'll do it more often). I can't last to much longer because the chipping will look really bad. My nails tend to chip right away even with an awesome top coat so by the end of the week, my nails look pretty chipped.

4. How often do you put off buying/replacing a beauty item or nail polish, even if you need it? 
I will replace right away, usually. If its a skin care item, I'll have bought a replacement before I run out. If it's a foundation, I will try and use others(I have too many!)

5. What is your worst beauty habit? 
 I have a bad habit of touching my face, which makes my foundation wear off faster, I also rub my eyes. Bad Jess! I also don't throw out my mascaras when I need to.  

6. Name something non-beauty related that you tend to put off all the time.
 laundry! Not necessarily laundry but once I do it, I tend to let it sit in the hamper after taking it out the dryer. It will sit there for days and I will take out the clothes I want to wear for the day.

7. When going out somewhere do you leave getting ready until the last-minute or not? 
I like to get ready an hour or so before I have to leave. I don't like feeling rushed and want to have time to fix any makeup misshaps if they happen.

8. Can you commit to spending bans?
 I try to but it never works out well and I tend to go on a big shopping spree instead. Oops....

9. How organized is your make up and nail polish collection?
 My makeup collection has always been very well organized. My nail polish is finally organized in a way I'm happy with and I will be doing an updated nail polish collection video on my channel soon!

10. What is the longest time you have gone without writing a blog post?
I've gone a long time, like months. Trying to get better about posting.

My Favorite Beauty Gurus!

Hello beauties!! Today I thought I'd do a different kind of post today and talk about my favorite beauty vloggers on youtube. I've been watching beauty videos for....wow has it really been 5 years?? I remember stumbling upon Allthatglitters21's pirate tutorial, wondering "What is this? Is she really showing you how to apply eyeshadow?" At first, I didn't think much of it, but then I started watching more and more. I slowly worked my way through her videos, and then moved on to watching her sister, juicystar07 and marathoned her videos as well. I didn't realize it at the time, but I was hooked on something that would later lead to me starting my own channel. I watched many a youtuber, some I ended up unsubbing to due to various reasons. Some of the first I watched don't even make videos anymore for which I am very sad. But here are some wonderful youtubers who I've discovered and love not only their tutorials or reviews, but they're all around personality.

1. emilynoel83

 



Fellow Midwest girl! No wonder I like her videos so much :) All joking aside, Emily from beauty broadcast is one of my favorite people to watch, mainly due to her quirky personality. She's very straight forward and honest in all her reviews. She may get sent products, but if she don't like it, she'll tell you straight up. Her reviews are always very concise and informative and her tutorials are breathtaking and creative. I also love that her husband does some videos with her, I look forward Ty Day Friday's on her beautybroadcastexpress channel. In many ways, she inspired me to start my own channel.

2. amarixe

I've been watching Allison, or amarixe, for a long time now. Her tutorials are simply stunning! And usually very short too ;) Her fashion sense though, is what I admire most. Her videos are always very genuine and heartfelt. And the other great thing is on her vlog channel she is always doing book reviews! As an avid reader, I really look forward to her book reviews so I can get ideas for new books to read.

3. missglamorazzi  

 

Ingrid, or missglamorazzi is probably one of the beauty guru's I've been watching the longest. Her "get ready with me" videos are my favorites to watch! Also, she uses a lot of drugstore products which I really like. However, she also has avlog channel that I simply love watching. She doesn't vlog on it much now, but in past years she did vlogmas which I looked forward to every day :)

4. eleventhgorgeous

This sister duo consists of Tracy and Stefanie. I love watching their videos cause they never take it too seriously. They're always joking around and acting crazy. Best of all, most of the products they talk about or use are from the drugstore!

5. andriamatillano

 

Andria's relatively new on the youtube scene, been making videos for 2 years now. But she's an absolute sweetheart!! And her videos are super cute! She does a lot of fashion videos and reviews and couple tutorials.

Tag: Would You Rather Makeup Edition

I saw this tag floating around on the blogsphere and thought I'd give it a go. I generally have a tough time playing would you rather because I have hard time making decisions. Let's see how this goes.

 

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

Hmm, this is a tough one. I think I would cry, literally cry if I lost my eyeshadows, especially my Urban Decay Naked Palette. So I think I'd rather lose all my mascaras, eyeliners, lipsticks, and lipglosses. They're all drugstore and easily replaced.

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

After having my hair chopped off, I can easily say never being able to cut it off. Short hair just doesn't work for me!

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

I love my pink blushes, but judging from my blush collection I have an addiction to coral cheek colors. In fact, I just bought a new blush from Tarte that's a beautiful coral. My first high end blush, I'm very excited :)

4. If you had $1,000 to spend, would you rather buy clothes or makeup?

Oh that's a toughy. I love shopping for clothes....I love shopping for makeup....Can just spend half on each????

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

I'd have to say I'd rather apply the eyeliner as a lipstick. I'd be afraid to put anything that's been near my mouth on my eyes.

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

I haven't tried enough from MAC to shop there exclusively and at Sephora, you have a variety of lots different products and skincare from lots of different brands. You'd be hardpressed to not find something that doesn't work.

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

I like to change up my lipcolor so much but I can honestly say I usually use the same eyeshadow colors every day. I'm in a rut that I don't intend on breaking.

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

Summer clothes in winter for sure, something I already do. I get hot very easily and its often I'll be longing around the house in my running shorts in the dead of winter.

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

Bright, fun colors all year round. I have lots of dark colors but I hardly reach for them. I like my nails to match my personality and mood.

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

This should be phrased, "Do you want to give up your Urban Decay Naked Palett or your Revlon Berry Smoothie Lip Butter?" I don't want to give up either!

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

A messy bun. I feel like my hair is this style most of the time, especially in the summer. I just don't want to mess with it most of the time.

12. Would you rather never be able to paint your nails again or never use lip gloss?

I would gladly give up lip gloss if I could keep my nails polished.

13. Would you rather shave your eyebrows and have none at all or Sharpie them in everyday?

Oh god...Just the thought of me without eyebrows or using a sharpie to put them on....I look hideous!!

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

Nail polish, I need my makeup!!!
