Hello my pretties! Happy {Makeup} Monday to you.
This week we have a fun challenge for you. If you are new around here, let me just tell you real quick, we dont always have challenges for Makeup Monday, but we do every once in a while to mix things up! Also you do not have to do the challenge in order to link up! Any and all beauty related posts are welcome. You are also welcome to link up more than one of your posts! Just be sure to link up a specific blog post, not just your whole blog. ♥
Now, back to this weeks challenge...This is a different kind of challenge than we have done before, one where you answer beauty related questions based on the 7 deadly sins! This is a beauty tag I found via youtube, I didn't come up with this original idea! ;)
1. GREED - What is your most inexpensive beauty item? What is your most expensive?
I am pretty much a drug store diva. I like to get a good deal on my beauty products. So most of the beauty items I own are pretty inexpensive. So lots of items came to mind, anything from
e.l.f. - have a LOT of their products. But what came to my mind first was my favorite
dry shampoo by suave which is under $3. I use this stuff often, at least 3 times a week. So its nice that I dont have to pay a lot for it!
As for my most expensive beauty item, I would have to say my
Radiant Cosmetics Eye Shadows, of which I have two. These are $16 per eyeshadow. Which normally I would never ever spend that kind of money, on makeup for myself. BUT I made an exception, because I love what Radiant Cosmetics stands for and is doing to help raise money and awareness for human trafficking. They donate at least 20% of profit from each purchase to fight human trafficking. I love shops/companies that donate and give back, and are doing something to help! So I have gladly made a few purchases to help support them and what they do. ♥
2. WRATH - What beauty products do you have a love/hate relationship with?
Lotion!
Body lotion to be exact (facial lotion I don't mind). I obviously love the effect of lotion. Having soft, silky skin is important to me. Dry skin drives me nuts! BUT I sort of hate applying it. Its usually gets under my nails, that drives me nuts. The cold damp feeling its gives your skin at first... Making sure you put just enough. Too much takes for ever to rub in, not enough and you have dry spots. haha (Similar arguments for wrath could also be made for my choices for Sloth!)
3. GLUTTONY - What are your most delicious beauty products?
First item to come to mind, something that makes me look prettier and also smells/taste good? My
Kiss & Tell - Lip Plumping, Tingling Lip Gloss. They are from
Pure Romance. I have two and I LOVE mine. They make my lips look amazing. They Smell good and even taste good.
4. SLOTH - What beauty product do you neglect, due to laziness?
There are quite a few here. Anyone else slothful like me?
First
Shaving!! I think I only shave on average about once MAYBE twice a week. Though sometimes Ive gone a couple weeks without shaving. (Sexy, I know. My Poor Hubs! haha) But its such a pain. And its like laundry, its never ending! Just stop growing hair, legs & Arm Pits! Obviously you are not wanted!! SHEESH.
Two-
Painting my nails. I love pretty manicures! And I got some decent nail designs skills, if I do say so myself. But the time it takes for a really good mani is the worst. Base coat, wait to dry. Color, wait to try. 2nd coat, wait to dry. Design, wait to dry. Top Coat... CRAP, my nail touched something! Start over... Wait... wait... wait. Aint Nobody Got Time Fo' Dat!! Well at least this momma doesn't. :( But I wish I had the patience, because I do love a pretty mani!
Three
Tweezing. I used to be religious about taking care of my brows when I was younger. Tweezed those stray hairs every day. Now my makeup/beauty routine is rushed a lot of the days, and unfortunately tweezing gets left out most of the time.
5. PRIDE - What beauty product gives you the most self confidence?
For me its
mascara and
perfume. My favorites of course are Define-A-Lash, and Vanilla Fantasy. But these two things give me the most confidence, because I enjoy the compliments that follow because of them. My long eye-lashes, and how good I smell. I hear that one a lot. And its nice to know you dont stink! HAHA
6. LUST - What one product are you currently lusting after?
The Disney Collection Story Book Jasmine Palette! As a Disney lover this obviously catches my attention! LOVE. The colors look gorgeous. And the packaging is just as stunning. Who wouldn't lust after this? But at the price of $55, I know it will only be something I lust after, because I couldn't bring myself to spend that kind of money on myself for something that's just for fun.
7. ENVY - What items would you most like to receive as a gift?
This one goes hand in hand with #6 LUST. Because I wouldn't buy that palette for myself, means the only way I would have it, is as a gift from someone (Hubs). ;) But really anything beauty or makeup related as a gift would be wonderful in my opinion. ♥ Gifts are always a wonderful thing.
