The Procrastinating Beauty Blogger Tag

Good morning everyone! I hope y'all are having a wonderful Tuesday morning so far :) I was reading Emily's latest post on her blog yesterday, (here's a link to the post: http://www.beautybroadcast.net/2013/09/the-procrastinating-beauty-blogger-tag.html) and I loved the tag she did, so I thought it would be entertaining for my readers if I did it too! So lets get started!







1. Name a beauty regimen that you rarely do? 
      
Let me just start off by saying, if you watch my beauty videos on youtube, you know I have short hair. And I am the kind of person that likes to get up, shower, and go without worrying about spending an hour on blow-drying my hair ;) I'll blow-dry my hair sometimes for special occasions or an event, but other than that I just wash it and let it air-dry. :) 



2. Is washing your brushes something that you do regularly? 

Yes, this is actually something I do probably more often than needed :) but when I clean them I use my Sigma brush cleaning glove, baby shampoo, and then I dry my brushes with the bristles pointing down in plastic cups. I also put brush guards on them as well because it helps them keep their shape. If you'd like to see my Sigma brush cleaning glove demo, click HERE




3. How long will you last with chipped nail polish? 

Hopefully as you can see here, I let my nails chip a little bit. But I play acoustic guitar, piano, and keyboard on a regular basis so especially with guitar my nails have to be cut short all the time. Thus the reason why I hardly ever wear nail polish :) 





4. How long will you put off buying/replacing a beauty product, even if you need it? 

Man, this one is a tough question! I will replace a product if I absolutely 100% NEED it, but otherwise I am buying different makeup products all the time because I want to try it out and review it. So that being said, I don't think I'll run out of eyeshadows any time soon because lets be honest here......backups of my backups have backups :) 







5. What is your worst beauty habit? 

I have to say I have a slight obsession with GREAT smelling candles! I just bought this one pictured above and when I get on a kick of buying good smelling candles, it gets kind of crazy :) I have so many I need to burn, its not even funny. I have two shelves up on my wall that have candles! But it's kind of like my makeup obsession, you have to try the latest and greatest thing! :) 



6. Name something non-beauty related that you put off doing all the time? 

With my forever long healthy passion of music, I've put off buying an electric guitar for the longest time! I love the sound of it, I just have never dove deep into searching the best one out yet. Lets just say this item just might make its debut on my Christmas wishlist this year ;) 



7. When going out somewhere, do you leave getting ready until the last minute? 

If at all possible, I leave PLENTY of time to get ready. I don't like being rushed to get ready and I don't like being late. I like to take my time in the morning so if I have to, I'll get up an hour early, just so I'll have an immense amount of time to get ready :) 




8. Can you commit to spending bans? 

Does what's pictured above look like I can stop myself? :) I try to put myself on a "no-buy" but it never works! Thats mainly because I want to be able to try the latest and greatest things to review for my channel/blog. But I will sometimes do a "low-buy" where I'll set a limit to how much I spend on new beauty products and I can stick to that actually. I also find enjoyment in "shopping my stash" and rediscovering old favorites. 




 9. How organized is your make-up and nail polish collections? 

I pretty much just have a pile going on my vanity and just reach into it from time to time. Just kidding! I'd say my collection is very organized. If you're going to have a large collection, you need to have it organized so you know what you have. I make do with the space I have, while I keep most of my makeup in my vanity, I do have a separate rolling 5 drawer sterilite container next to my vanity that holds an organized amount of makeup products. I actually have that container organized to where each drawer has all the products separated. For example, the drawer that holds my eye products, I have my eye primers in a container, eyeshadows in another separate container next to it, and so on. That helps a lot, because if I'm in some sort of time crunch I don't want to be rummaging through a disorganized drawer of  products trying to find what I want. Thankfully, everything fits into a section of my bedroom so it doesn't take up so much space, but it still helps me find things easily.


Wondering what to blog about? Do this tag! It's a lot of fun! :)
