7 Deadly Sins of Beauty!



Well this post has taken longer than expected. With a new baby in the house and summer just getting started, I have been a busy bee. Better late than never, though, right? So here it is... And I promise, I'll try to be quicker with the updates in the future!

Before I start, I'd like to apologize for some of these pictures :/ Since I'm new to blogging I never had a reason to get a great camera. Mine is decent but honestly, I have no idea how to really use it. So my pictures are pretty hit or miss. Hopefully I'll figure out how to rectify that in a timely manner!

So I was tagged by Glitz, Glam, and Zebra ( Check out her blog. It's so much fun, I swear!) to do the 7 Deadly Sins of Beauty Tag. It was actually a lot more thought provoking than I had thought it would be, but it was a lot of fun going back through my collection! I had actually totally forgotten I even had some of these! So thanks for tagging me!


1.) Greed: What Is Your Most Expensive Beauty Item?
This is one of my very favorite palettes, shows and brands, so, naturally I had to have it! When I purchased it, I think I paid around $70 for it. My sister, however, bought it a few months after it's release and she only paid $35. I don't even care, it was so worth it. As you can tell, I use this one quite often. It has some really great neutrals and some really beautiful dark shades if you like a super dramatic look. I'm a sucker for a vampy face :)

 

2.) Wrath: What item do you have a love hate relationship with?
This was an easy one. Blush. I love blush, adore it, but often it looks ridiculous on me. Sometimes I will find a perfect shade that magically works with my skin, but it doesn't happen ofter. I have very fair skin and my cheeks are a little pink naturally. Basically, in the winter, when my cheeks aren't so flush, I love blush. In the summer, when my cheeks get pinkish, I hate it.

3.) Gluttony: Which brand takes up most of your collection?
This one surprised me. I have ALOT of Too Faced and a lot of Benefit. But as I was combing through my collection, I realized that what I have most of, is the actual Sephora brand! I guess it makes sense, every time I go into Sephora looking for a specific product from another brand, I always end up buying a few things from the Sephora brand (especially lipstick, it appears.)

4.) Sloth: What product do you neglect the most due to laziness?
Makeup Primer! I always use moisturizer and foundation but sometimes, especially for a typical day, I skip the primer. For some reason, it doesn't make a huge difference to me. I don't have a ton of trouble with makeup not lasting or staying in place on my face. Now, if I'm going to be outside all day, or if I'm getting dolled up for something fancy, I try to remember this step. But 70% of the time, it gets passed over.

5.) Pride: What gives you the most confidence?
This one has two answers, because I couldn't choose just one. Red Lips is kind of a given for a lot of girls I think. This specific vampy red is my favorite confidence booster. I think red lips immediately makes a girl look so much sexier and more dramatic. The hard part is finding the right red for you. Believe me, I know how difficult that can be!
The other answer is hot pink fingernails. It seems silly, but when my nails are perfectly manicured and this hot shade of pink, it always puts a little something extra in my step!

6.) Lust: Which item is at the top of your beauty wish list?
I'm sure I'm not the only one dying to get my hands on this. It's so much fun! The colors are amazing and it's Disney! I'm so glad Sephora is doing these Princess collections because I'm in love with Disney and Sephora. The two combining is just a dream come true. Here's hoping that after the Princess collection they can do a Villain collection!

7.)Envy: Which makeup product/ look is great on others but not on yourself?
I have purchased SO many blue eyeshadows hoping that I could find the perfect one for me, but it always ends in tears and wasted money! I love blue eyeshadow on other girls! For some reason, no matter how little I apply, I always end up looking like Mimi from the Drew Carey show. I've come to terms with it though, and have found something to ease the pain. Electric Blue eyeliner. It's as close as I'll ever get!

I hope you guys enjoyed that as much as I did. I tag ALL OF YOU! Seriously, I love this tag and want to see everyones answers on my desk tomorrow morning! Honestly though, I wanna know!
