IndieAna- In Search of the HolyGrail

It's been a long time since I completed any kind of blogger Tag. After a quick search on google I come across the 30 Beauty Questions Tag. 1. Do you remember your first makeup item? I'm pretty sure it was some Mary Kay makeup I bought at a friend's makeup party. Eye shadow and foundation. 2. Describe your perfect mascara. Have you found one that fits your specifications? I really like tubing mascaras. My favourite would be the Poni Cosmetics White Knight mascara. No smudging and provides both length and volume. 3.What kind of coverage to you prefer from foundation? I like a full coverage velvety finish. However, since hitting my 40s, I'm starting to find that it can settle into fine lines and and has the potential of looking cakey. I'm thinking that BB cream now looks best on my skin. 4. Favourite high end brand? Probably Urban Decay. Though I've only ever tried their eye shadow palettes. 5. What cosmetic brands have you always wanted to try b...

Christina of beauty blog Lovethatlippie kindly tagged me to do the "Get To Know Me" tag. You can read her responses here . 1. Name a beauty routine you barely do. Um, I don't cut my toe nails often enough, especially in the cooler months. Doesn't sound like a biggie, but hubby doesn't appreciate my scratching him with my manky toe nails, ewww. 2. Is washing your makeup brushes something you regularly do ? I wash my makeup brushes weekly. I don't have a crazy amount, and weirdly enough, I actually enjoy doing it....I know! 3. How long do you last with chipped nail varnish?  Too long! I generally paint my nails twice a week. My nails will normally chip within 24 hours, but I don't remove it until I'm ready to do my nails again. Worse still, I often pick at the varnish to help remove it. 4.  How often do you put off buying/replacing a beauty item or nail polish, even if you need it? I actually don't think I have ever been in a position tha...

Tags are so much fun, and I love that it is an easy way for you to get to know more about me. Hailey from The Beauty in Life was kind enough to tag me to do the 30 Questions of Beauty . Here goes! 1. Do you remember your first makeup item?  Nope, but I'd be almost certain that it was a mascara. 2. Describe your perfect mascara. Have you found one that fits your specifications? My perfect mascara would give me lashes that were twice as long, twice as thick. Oh, and doesn't smudge. Obviously I haven't found this mascara. I always return to Mirenesse mascaras, I love the tubing formula...no panda eyes! 3. What kind of coverage do you prefer from foundations?  I like medium coverage. I like to see my skin, but better :) 4. Favourite high end brand?  Of the limited experience that I've had with high end brands, I've adored the Elizabeth Arden Prevage range. 5. What cosmetic brands have you wanted to try, but still haven't?  Sugarpill and Inglot. ...

I love reading various tags, I find that it gives a little insight into my favourite bloggers. During one of these reads, little did I know that the lovely Basmah from Lacee & Lattes had actually tagged me to do the Spring Tag. Please check out her awesome blog if you haven't already. Ok, we're talking coffees- What's your favourite seasonal coffee from Starbucks or another coffee shop? I'm pretty boring when it comes to coffee, I find a lot of coffee shops too strong and sweet for my taste. I am content to drink my daily instant. Please don't hate me! lol Accessories- What do you opt for- sandals, floppy hats or flower crowns? Sandals for sure! I only wear a cap when I walk the dogs, no floppy hats or flower crowns for me (as beautiful as flower crowns are, they aren't me) Music- What's your favourite music to listen to during Spring? My music isn't a seasonal thing. I generally just listen to the radio, and turn up whatever takes ...

I'm not sure where this tag originated from. I have seen it a few times. After reading Lipstick and Coffee 's tag, it finally tipped me over the edge and I decided to do it myself. Greed- What's your most expensive and inexpensive beauty item? I don't have any high end products in my collection, but I'd have to say my Urban Decay palettes would be the most expensive items I own. I own a lot of products that are on the cheaper side of the scale, but the cheapest would have to be a L'Oreal Infalible shadow that has a price tag of 88c, broke the bank that one, lol! Wrath- What item do you have a strong love/hate relationship? Eye shadow. Now, please don't get me wrong, shadows would have to be my favourite beauty product. But, if I get it wrong, I really get it wrong. I just hate it when I have an idea in my head for a look, and I just can't seem to get it right, frustrates me! Gluttony- What are your most delicious beauty products? I would have t...

This tag was started by The Beau Bow . The lovely Candyfairy  was kind enough to tag me. Being my first, I couldn't wait to do it! 1. Name a beauty routine you rarely do? I have a few, I don't contour, do bronzer, rarely highlight and never curl my lashes.  2. Is washing your makeup brushes something you do regularly?  I try and wash my brushes weekly. This hasn't always been the case :/ 3. How long will you last with chipped nail varnish? Chipped polish bugs me, though, I generally don't remove it until I'm about to apply a different polish. 4. How long do you put off buying/replacing a beauty or nail polish product even if you need it? (ie. top coat, foundation, etc) What does it mean to run out of a product??????? Lol, my biggest problem is hoarding, rather than running out of anything :) 5. What is your worst beauty habit? Hoarding eye shadow palettes. I hardly use them, yet I keep adding more! 6. Name something non beauty related that you put o...
