Skin Care Tag

Hey everyone and happy, happy Saturday. I think my neon nails that I have just painted may have woken me up this morning :)

I have a tag post for you today about skincare. I haven't done a tag post in ages and I do like doing them as they get me thinking. Plus I'm dead nosey so I like to read what other blogger's say in them. I was tagged by Laura from Stuff Laura Found. Laura is very new to blogging so if you could check out her blog that would be great.

So here is my skincare tag post ........


1 ~ Describe your skin care routine in five words.

Changeable, Cleanse, Scrub, Moisturise & Tone.
 
As a blogger I am always trying new products, but the routine is pretty much the same. I say tone last as I couldn't live without my Crystal Clear Lift Away The Years wand now. See my initial impressions of the skincare tool and products here and the follow up review here.

2 ~ What's your skin type?
 
Dry, dry, dry. I have a lot of hyper pigmentation on my face too.

3 ~ What's your favourite skin care product?
 
The Crystal Clear Lift Away The Years wand mentioned in question 1.

4 ~ Top blemish zapper.
 
I usually only get them when I am hormonal. I just try to keep the area as cleansed as possible and avoid wearing make-up when I don't need it. I never wear make-up when I am at home. Sometimes I will use a hot flannel to try and pop it naturally. I try to avoid popping spots though as this can lead to scarring. I have used toothpaste on the area at night to try and dry them out too.

5 ~ Face wipes, yay or nay?

I do use them, but I use the exfoliating type to remove make-up and dirt before cleansing etc. I like these ones from Nivea and these from Biore.
 
6 ~ High-end skin care or high-end makeup?
 
Whatever your make-up sits on is your base. Make-up can do so much, but skincare can make you glow, prevent or reduce oiliness, dryness, wrinkles etc. I wouldn't say that either make-up or skincare needs to be high end it's just whatever works for you. I am a bargain junkie, but I have used products that are more than what I usually pay that work. This is why I am always honest and when blogging let you know if I think products are worth the price.

7 ~ What's the most unusual skin care product you've tried?
 
Probably a self heating face masque as I hadn't realised that it was self heating. Here is a link to this product.

8 ~ You're in a French pharmacy and can only pick up one item. What is it?
 
I would say the Bioderma Crealine H20 Micellar Solution as it's a very hyped product in the blogging community. Perhaps over hyped I don't know, but I would no doubt pick some up if I were in France.
 
9 ~ Tell us your top skin care tip...
 
Do not wear make-up if you are not going anywhere. Your skin needs to breath and why waste products or your time if you are just going to be snuggled on the sofa watching a movie?
 
I tag all bloggers that want to do this tag post. If you are not a blogger, but still want to let others know your skincare tips please leave them in the comments below.
 
 
 
Love to you all
 
 

Get your Freak on! 15 Weird Facts Tag

Hello there my loves. It's now the weekend for me and I am so thankful. I am so tired, but I have no idea why? I was too tired to take pictures tonight so I thought what a great opportunity to write this tag post. I was tagged into this 'Get your Freak on! 15 Weird Facts' by the gorgeous Sandra D who has a fabulous blog so go check her out lovelies :) So onto the 15 weird facts about me.


1. What is a nickname that only your family calls you?

My real name is Victoria, but I'm usually called Vicky which I prefer. Sometimes I get called Vic or just V.

2. What's a weird habit of yours?

Sometimes I do things in even numbers. I find odd numbers unsettling. OCD I know.

3. Do you have any weird phobias?

Spiders because for some reason they always come near me and they run so bloody fast.

4. What's a song you secretly LOVE to blast & belt out when you're alone?


Sarah Whatmore - When I Lost You

5. What's one of your biggest pet peeves?
 
People that are fake and/or two faced.

6. What's one of your nervous habits?


I chew the insides of my cheeks, but not to the point of hurting them.

7. What side of the bed do you sleep on?

Whatever side is closest to the door as I am always up before my boyfriend.

8. What was your first stuffed animal & it's name?

I honestly don't remember, but I still have the Roland Rat stuffed toy that my uncle Garry got me.

9. What's the drink you ALWAYS order at Starbucks?

I have only been to a Starbucks once in my life and I know it had chocolate in it and it was topped with whipped cream. The mug was huge, but I drank it all and loved it.

10. What's the beauty rule you preach.. but never ACTUALLY practice?


I should always remove my make-up, but sometimes I'm too lazy. It's no excuse though.

11. Which way do you face in the shower?

 
Both ways.

12. Do you have any 'weird' body 'skills'?

My thumbs really arch backwards and I can touch my wrists with them no problem.

13. What's your favourite 'comfort food'/food that's 'bad' but you love to eat it anyways?

Cheese, bread, sauces, spaghetti bolognese, pizza, burgers and chips. I am losing weight at the moment so none of these are in my diet.

14. What's a phrase or exclamation you always say?
 
I call people Hun a lot.

15. Time to sleep- what are you ACTUALLY wearing

It varies, but definitely PJ's from either Primark or La Senza in the Winter.

'As Time Passes By' Tag

Hello my Beauties. Today's post is a tag post called 'As Time Passes By'. In this post I have to compare either my very first NOTD, OOTD, EOTD or FOTD to my latest one of these. I have chosen NOTD (Nail Of The Day). I was tagged into this post by a lovely who you should definitely check out Bex-4-ever 




So here is my first NOTD post 15th June 2011 Nail Of The Day: Revlon Strawberry Electric




Here is my most recent NOTD post 13th August 2011 Nail Of The Day: Nails Inc. Tudor Way




The two things I am comparing in these posts are picture quality and my writing style. I used to use my I-Phone 4 to take photos, but now I use my Panasonic LUMIX FS15 12 Mega Pixel camera. I am no expert when it comes to cameras, but I think it's easy to see the difference. The colour is now more vivid and the outlines much crisper. I watermark my photos a little more faintly these days so that it is not such a distraction in the photos.

I think my style of writing in these two posts is very much the same. I try to take as clear a photo as I can with a description of the products name/number and of course the brand. I also try to describe how I think the nail polish looks in colour and of course if I like it. There are more photos in the first post, but I would prefer a clean, polished photo than three blurry ones.



These are the rules for Bloggers tagged into this post:


1) Add a picture from your first ever and most recent NOTD (Nail Of The Day), OOTD (Outfit Of The Day), EOTD (Eye Of The Day) or FOTD (Face Of The Day) posts

2) Compare two things between these two posts

3) Tag 8 other Bloggers


The 8 Bloggers that I am tagging into this post are:










Can you please let me know when you have posted this tag and I will make sure to check it out :)


Love to you all

Top 10 Award: Lip Products

Hi there my lovelies. I was awarded the Top 10 Award by the gorgeous Beauty By Krystal




This my first ever tag post. I'm such a newbie to all this so let me know if there is something I have missed :) I have a real passion for all make-up, but I really tend to pick up lipsticks and lip glosses more than anything else so I thought I would share with you my 10 most reached for lip products.






LEFT - RIGHT: 

17 Lasting Fix Lipstick (Hot Chilli)

Make Up For Ever (Rouge Artist Intense - 37)

Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick (Red Hot - 168)

NYX Lip Smacking Fun Colours (Fire - 599)

MAC (Show Orchid)




LEFT - RIGHT as above

As you can see I love a bold lipstick, but I will try anything to see if it suits me.




LEFT - RIGHT: 


Miss Sporty XX Volume (Colour unknown) A rose colour

Accessorize Diamond Sparkle Lipgloss (Temptation - 2) This smells like toffee

Colour Lip Gloss from New Look (Colour unknown. Came with a nail polish) This smells like toffee also, but fainter

Miss Sporty XX Volume (Colour Unknown) A baby pink colour

Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar (Trollop)

Apologies for all the unknown lip gloss colours, but they are my most reached for so I had to put them in :)




LEFT - RIGHT as above


I love the toffee smell of temptation. Hard not to lick it off, but I really try not too as it has such great shimmer. Lip Tars are fantastic also. You should try them if you haven't already. I also love the Lip Tar Anime which is a very bold pink, but I would say I wear Trollop more.

So now I would like to pass this award on to these lovelies:























If you are one of my 10 nominated bloggers and you wish to take part in this tag please follow these rules:

♥ Link back to the person who tagged you to this post - Beauty By Krystal
 ♥ List your 10 favourite products (they can be anything)
 ♥ Nominate 10 other Bloggers

If you do not wish to take part in this tag I will not be offended. If you have not been nominated by me you can still let me know your top 10 in the comments below. They do not have to be lip products like I chose. They can be absolutely anything. Even if it's not make-up related.


Love to you all
