Answer Time!

Here are the answers to the questions I got on the previous post!

Question #1: What inspired you to start a blog?

I've been blogging for awhile. Mostly blogs about things that happen in my daily life. I started watching youtube beauty guru Michelle Phan (michellephan) about a year ago and shortly after that discovered Elle and Blair (AllThatGlitters21 and JuicyStar07). I've been into make-up and beauty products for awhile but I didn't really want to start a youtube channel because I don't like the way I look or sound on camera. My friends used to always tell me that I had more tips and was more knowledgeable about make-up than anyone they knew, even though I am the least likely to wear make-up! At that point, I decided to just start a blog about beauty and products and here I am!

Question #2: What is your fav blog?

That's a really hard question because I love all the blogs I subscribe to! I always love Blair's posts though!

Question #3: What product over exceeded expectations the first time you used it and what under exceeded?

Over exceeded: Jergans Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer. I'm a pretty pale person and I never tan, only burn. So I am forced to faux glow, which isn't bad since tanning is extremely bad for your skin. Most self tanners turn me orange though, or I never apply them right and end up streaky. I picked this up thinking it was just going to be another dud product that I would never finish. Nope. I never turn orange OR streaky using this product, just a nice shade of bronze. I was quite surprised!

Under exceeded: DEFINITELY Proactiv. I've bought this a couple of times between the ages of 16 and 22 and each time used it for about 6 months to give it a fair trial. I've even tried the "new and improved formula" and the extra strength formula. No go. Made my acne worse EVERY TIME. Total disappointment.

Question #4: What's your most reached for product?

That would have to be my Lypsyl Lypmoisturizer. My lips get really dry and chapped if I don't use lip balm and this is my Holy Grail of lip balms. I always have a tube in my pocket and if I forget it at home when I go somewhere, I will stop and pick up a new tube. 

Question #5: What do you do to make yourself feel better? 

I blog! Giving people advice always makes me feel better. For the same reason, I go to the forums on elleandblair.com. Sometimes I'll watch one of my favorite movies, or read a book. 

There's my answers! If anyone else has any questions, leave a comment and I'll add it to this post. Or, request another blog post!

Ask Me!

Hey guys! I've decided I want to do a question and answer post where you, my readers, ask me a question and I'll give you an answer. I think a blogger should be more than just a post. It's important for your readers to know you and be able to relate to you.  So leave a question as a comment and I'll put together a blog post where I answer them! This should be fun :)

*I reserve to right to not answer any questions which I feel may be to personal in nature or that may give out to much information I'm not comfortable sharing. I'm a pretty open person though so I'm not anticipating any problems!

Requested Post-5 Beauty Products I Can't Live Without

I had this blog post requested and I had to think REALLY HARD about what to write about. The problem is I'm really not a make-up girl. I buy enough of it that you would think I am but I've never really been into the whole having to apply it everyday routine. Sometimes I'll wear it on the weekends, but almost never during the week. That being said, here's the 5 beauty products I can't live without.

#1: Lypsyl Lypmoisturizer

This is the ONLY lip balm I use (I even use it under tinted lip balms). My lips are very picky when it comes to lip balms and this keeps them moisturized and smooth and it even leaves a bit of shine. Love it!

#2: Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips in Waikiki Strip

This is a blush/bronzer/eyeshadow palette. I really only use it as eyeshadow since there is to much sparkle for me when I use it as a blush or bronzer. It's a good neutral palette and easy to use since the colors go lightest to darkest.

#3: Origins VitaZing Tinted Moisturizer

This is the tinted moisturizer I currently use most. I like that it has SPF 12 and it brightens my skin a bit.

#4: Mascara

I own TONS of different mascaras. I don't care about the brand, I just love it. My lashes are already pretty thick and long so I just grab one and put it on. Colored ones are fun to play with!

#5: Face Wash

As long as I can have face wash, I'm good. My face would explode if I didn't at least clean it twice a day. 

There it is! My top 5 beauty products. What are yours? Leave me a comment and let me know. Or, request another blog post!

Ulta Haul

So today I went to Ulta for the first time and I'm in <3. They have a lot of awesome products from a lot of brands. For those who haven't been, its pretty much right in between a drugstore and Sephora. They sell drugstore brands (Covergirl, Maybelline, etc.) but they also sell higher end brands (Bare Minerals, Too Faced, Lorac, etc.). They also have a salon in-store. I picked up only a couple of things (and it was really hard to choose...darn budgets!), and I thought I'd share them with you! Here we go!

First off, I got 2 Mario Badescu products. I've been hearing a lot about this brand and I'm really excited to try it.

I got the Acne Facial Cleanser and the Glycolic Foaming Cleanser. My skin is acne prone which hopefully the acne cleanser will help but its also a bit dull so thats where the glycolic acid cleanser comes in. I'm excited to try these products and hope they work well.

I also picked up Jean Pierre Cosmetics Exfoliating cleansing towelettes. These have a funny smell but basically do their job.

Because I signed up for Ultas free rewards program, I also got four free gifts.

An Ulta eyeshadow in Sandstone. I tried to swatch it for you but its a really light, bronzy color so it didn't show up well. It looks pretty though and its a good neutral color.

This is a leave in conditioner that is supposed to make your hair soft, silky and full. I'm definitely looking forward to trying this one out!

Goldwell Color Glow Bright Shine Conditioner for Warm Blondes. Unfortunately, I can't use this product because my hair is red.

I also got an anti bacterial hand lotion in Citrus Splash. I like the scent and the lotion isn't to drying which is good. 

So theres my products! I'm thinking I might have to get a second job so I can shop there more! 

Have you tried any of these products? What did you think? Let me know in the comments! Or request a post!
