20 Questions Tag

So I wasn't tagged, but this seemed fun!

1. Things you cannot leave the house without:
Oh gosh, theres about three things. But the number 1 thing would be money for sure. I have this weird idea that incase I get stranded and I need to get home by a taxi, I would need money to call for one. Next would be my purse because well, it holds my life in it! Seriously!

2. Favourite brand of Make Up:
I used to not have a favourite, but lately it's been all about MAC. I'm trying to focus on MAC instead of other brands because i'm kind of OCD like that. I love the packaging in my collection to look the same.. weird right?

3. Favourite flower:
I absolutely hate roses. They remind me of old people and funerals. I adore happy flowers, like daisies, but when my dad gets me flowers, he always gets me lillies, so thats a special flower for me :)

4. Favourite clothing store:
I love American Apparel because the clothes are so plain, but they look so chic when you combine them with other pieces of your wardrobe to create your perfect look. I love H&M too, great clothes at great prices. And American Eagle has great jean shorts, I love them!

5. Favourite perfume:
I go through phases. I love my Mrs. Dior Cherie, currently.

6. Heels or Flats:
Flats, sadly. I love heels in the house, but if I wear them out, people would think i'm nuts.

7. Do you make good grades:
Yes, especially in the classes I enjoy! The only class I have ever failed in high school is math. I hate math with a passion. It's annoying! I just can't stand it, seriously. It's so hard for me. I just don't like how it can always be different.

8. Favourite colours:
I love pink, lavender, taupes, beiges.

9. Do you drink energy drinks:
I drink Red Bull on occasion, but I don't make it a habit.

10. Do you drink juice:
Yes! I love juice. Apple juice is great, and i only drink freshly squeezed orange juice. I hate the concentrated taste if it's not freshly squeezed.

11. Do you like swimming:
I love swimming. I feel so peaceful under the water, like you cant hear anything. And when you look up from under the water and you see the sun, is one of the best feelings in the world.

12. Do you eat fries with a fork:
Oddly enough, sometimes I do!

13. Favourite moisturiser:
I love the Nivea one. I don't know the name.

14. Do you want to get married later on in life:
Yes, I do! I am a hopeless romantic and I just want to get swept off my feet.. Im single now though, and i'm not worried, i have time!

15. Do you get mad easily:
It depends with whom. I have no patience for stupidity. AT ALL.

16. Are you into ghost hunting:
But of course~ No, im kidding. Im scared of ghosts.

17. Any phobias -
Apparently, Im scared of 72 common phobias. Im petrified of spiders, all insects, anything unknown, death, and the list goes on!

18. Do you bite your nails:
YES :( Im trying to stop real hard now, since I saw the new China Glaze Collection.

19. Have you ever had a near death experience:
Not really , I was chased by a donkey in Greece?

20. Do you drink coffee -
I looooove coffee.

My Birthday Wishlist

Hey Dolls,

So my birthday is August 4th, which is in 38 days and I am so excited. In my house it seems that when it's someone's birthday, they rule the roost. We basically do whatever they want, or whatever I want, which is great for me. Being a Leo, I adore control and power, so being the queen every year on August 4th, is probably why I loooove birthdays. I've said this before, but I think that I live for birthdays. I especially love other peoples birthdays, I love sending cards (Lorraine, yours will be sent soon!) and giving presents, just as much as I love recieving them. So following in Lorraine's (TheCurrentCustom) footsteps, I have decided to do my birthday wishlist. Now keep in mind, this is a wishlist and I can guarantee you that I will not be getting everything, for sure.

1. I'm absolutely dying for a new Juicy Couture purse. I realize that Juicy isn't the most prestigous brand out there, but I have this weird thought (maybe obsession?) that people who saw me carrying a higher brand would assume it's fake. I hate when people assume things about me, because honestly, they really dont know me, or what I carry. That being said, I dont want to spend a lot on a purse, because I still want other things,right?

So I saw this amazing Juicy Couture Leather Purse. It's amazing and totally my style it's girly but tough at the same time. I can't find it online, but I love it, and since it's number 1, im about 96% sure i'll be getting it!

2. MAC Brushes

Mommy & Daddy I only want two (max three) brushes from you.. the 134 and the 227

^ The 134 is the big powder brush, and the 227 is the brush that is under the silver handle ^

And this just came to mind, the 182. Yes, the Kabuki. Because I actually don't have one :/

For some reason, I really want to make all of my brushes MAC. I know this will cost me a lot, but if each month I make it a mission to purchase at least 1 or 2 brushes, I should get there soon! I just love the quality and they make my makeup SO much better!

3. GHD Straightener: Basically my Bella straightener broke because it's ceramic and I drop it SO much. So yeah.

That's pretty much all the objects I want, and from my extended family I know I'll get money since they don't really know what to get me, and I don't really want them choosing my makeup, thank you very much..

Thanks for reading, what's on your birthday lists?

Love always,

Allie

Share the Love -- Blog Edition

Hi Dolls,

So I decided that instead of doing a "Share the Love" video on my youtube channel for other beauty video makers, i'll be doing a "Share the Love" for my favorite beauty bloggers! So lets get started!

Chanel Bronze Universal .. Worth it , or Not?

Hi Dolls!

As some of you may know, I just recently bought the Chanel Bronze Universal or the Chanel Tan de Chanel. It recently became famous, and lets say I resisted enough and last week I bit the tempting bullet. Let me just say that im wearing a blemish mask AS we speak, or should I say read?

I wanted.

I resisted.

I caved.

I bought.

I broke out. I have 4 nasty pimples.

That's right girls, I think I am breaking out from the EXPENSIVE Chanel Bronze Universal. I'm really hoping that it isn't that, because I would be devestated. I'm in serious like with how it makes my skin look. So here's my plan. I'm going to stop using it for almost a week. If my skin clears up, i'll start using it again and see if I break out again. If I break out for the second time, i'll know it was because of the Chanel Tan.

Cross your fingers for me!

I'm starting to think that this thing wasn't worth all the hype or the pitiful feelings I would get at the bottom of my stomach when I didn't buy it.. isn't that sad? I'm think that people made it seem great than it actually was..

Do I regret buying it?? Not yet..

Will I..? That's unwritten so far..

Have a beautiful Day, Allie xox

I'm a flawless beauty! I answered honesty, so hopefully you girls will too, I know you will! I have to say, I agree with most of what this statement says, but some things I don't agree with :)

What kind of beauty are you? Take this quiz and let me know in the comment section!

PLEASE remember that real beauty is being yourself. You don't have to have flawless skin or perfect eye makeup, it's imperfections that make us beautiful!

What I'm Using @ The Moment!

So it's time to do another "What i'm using" type of thing. I last did one in Match, and believe me, things have changed! And guess what?! I just hit pan on my first item and it's my MAC Mineralized Skinfinish in Natural.. It feels like quite an accomplishment to me! It also comes at the perfect time because I feel like I should buy one shade darker, since I do get darker in the summer! So lets get started!

Hair:

Shampoo: Aussie Moist Shampoo

Condtioner: Aussie Moist Conditioner

Mask: Aussie 3 Minute Miracle

Tool: Bella Straightening Iron

Body:

Cream: LUSH Therapy Massage Bar or Dove Natural Glow Sunless Tanner

Deoderant: Secret Baby Powder or Cucumber

Face:

Cleanser: I have been using St-Ives Apricot Scrub and have noticed a big difference in my skin! it's smooth and feels SO much cleaner!

Moisterizer: My Nivea Intense Moisturizer? Im not too sure about the name, but I know it works for me!

Makeup:

Primer: Benefit "That Gal" .. expect a review soon :)

Foundation: MAC Mineralized Skinfinish Natural .. Such amazing coverage for a mineral powder! I hit pan !!!

Concealer: MAC Studio Finish, however I think that the MA gave me a shade too dark.. I'll have to buy NW20 instead of NW25.. I tried my bestie's and I liked it SO much more!

Blusher: I am LOVING the MSF "Refined".. It gives me such a fabulous glow and makes me feel sun kissed! I use it every day w/o fail!

Bronzer: I've been neglecting this baby, but I am going to use it again soon! It's the Dior Bronzer in 20.. I got it in Mexico and I adore it, but with my MSF, i've been forgetting about it :(

Highlighter: I love using the mineralized side of the grand duo Moon River by MAC!

Eyeshadow Base: Painterly PP, or UDPP

Eyeshadow: I've been using "Femme-FI" and "Tilt" a lot lately.. but im still loving my Shale and my new love is Circa Plum pigment!

Eyeliner: I love the GOSH eye khol in "White" and the UD 24/7 in Zero!

Lipstick: MAC "A Rose Romance" which I LOOOOVE! or GOSH Darling.. My 2 go to lip colors!

Lipgloss: L'Oreal Hip Jelly Balm in "Plush" or my GOSH lipgloss in 100! It's so summery!

Nail Varnish: none at the moment .. my nails are a work in progress.

yup.

Well, just wanted to update you girls :)

Love, Allie xxo
