The Blogger Made Me Buy It Tag + Life Update!

Long time no talk my loves. You probably think I fell off the face of the earth but guess what? I didn't! I'll get more into where I've been at the end of the post because not everyone cares about my life. I decided to start my posting off with a tag that I've seen floating around the interweb. This tag has been popping up left and right in my blog feed so I thought I would hop on the bandwagon and do it as well.

1. Who are your most influential bloggers? Who are the ones that you really rely on for reviews and swatches?
I definitely love Drugstore Dreamer here on blogger. She has tons of reviews up and all drugstore. Southern Charmed (formerly know as Little Miss Average) has great honest reviews up on her channel as well. But I haven't found the one blogger I always go to, I kind of just search Google. Looking for the one though, so if you post loads of reviews and swatches leave your link below!

2. Do you buy a product solely as a result from one review from your favorite bloggers, or do you look for more reviews from others?
I almost always look for more reviews via other bloggers or the good ol' Google. The only time I don't is if I completely trust a blogger and tend to like everything they like. For high-end products its a must though!

3. What is your most favorite item that you have ever bought as a consequence of blogs?
It would either have to be my Naked Basics Palette or the Benefit They're Real Mascara. Both of them are absolutely amazing and would recommend them to anyone! Use them everyday!

4. What is your least favorite item that you have ever bought as a consequence of blogs?
Either the Maybelline Mega Plush Mascara or the Maybelline BB Cream. Both are not nearly as amazing as they were hyped to be. Big let down by those two products. I have more but I don't feel like listing them all. Let me know if you want a post on products not worth the hype!

5. Name 5 products that you have bought recently as a result of blogs.
Haven't bought much makeup lately. BH Cosmetics 88 Color Palettes. MUA Makeup. Rimmel Apocalips. La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo. Urban Decay DeSlick Setting Spray. These aren't that recent but shh..

6. Have you ever given into blogger hype? If so, which hype?
Oh yes! All the time! I feel like I just answered the products in questions number 3, 4 and 5 so I don't want to be repetitive. But one major one is the Beauty Blender. It was talked about so so so much on youtube, blogs, online, in real life. I totally gave in!

7. Have you ever avoided blogger hype? If so, which hype?
It's not that I've avoided them I just haven't gotten my hands on them. That is the Naked Palettes. Also the Nars Orgasm Blush. I can't justify spending like 20- 30 dollars on a blush!

8. Is everything you buy based on blogger reviews or are there some items you buy without checking out a review?
80% of the things I buy are out of blog/youtube reviews. Sometimes I'm just walking down the aisle an I see something that catches my eye and into my basket it goes. I fall into the marketing traps/ schemes of brands. They suck me into the black hole and there is no way of escaping. 

If you were here for the beauty stuff them bye bye for now! See you in my next post! But if you want to know my life then keep on reading for more fun and excitement!

Right now my life has been a jumble of school, stress, social life and yes.. Netflix! Lame excuses I know but it's true! Lately I've just been dumped with loads of school work. I'm not the most stay focused type of person so it took me a lot longer. I've mean't to post so many times but one, I've had writers block since January 1st and two, I got busy. I thought I'd do better without a schedule but I guess not :/ I'm officially going back to my Tuesday, Friday, sometimes Sunday posting schedule with the hopes of staying on track. Be aware though, come mid-June I will be neck deep in exams and school so it may drop off a little bit. Well I think I've ramble on for too long and I've had the break I needed so I'm just gonna go and enjoy my life! Until Sunday my loves, Stay fabulous!

WINTER WONDERLAND TAG- C2CC

Hello there my beautiful friends. Today I have another Christmas/Holiday tag. I first saw this tag on Shonas' blog or http://freshbeautyxox.blogspot.ca/ but it was created by the wonderful girl over at The Cute Little Beauty Blog. I did do another tag or the Christmas Tag in November but since its almost Christmas I thought I'd do another. There are only 10 questions so lets get into it...

What Winter holiday do you celebrate?
Christmas!

What is the one item you hope to receive as a present for Christmas?
Like any other beauty blogger, I would love to receive the Naked 3 Palette! Its just so beautiful!

Gingerbread cookies or candy canes?
Gingerbread cookies for sure! I like candy canes but gingerbread wins by far!

Snowball fights or Sledding?
Umm... believe it or not I've never had a snowball fight so I don't know how I like it. I don't really like the thought of cold ice flakes getting whipped at me so I guess sledding.

What is your go to Winter outfit?
Inside, definitely pajama bottoms and a sweater with fuzzy socks and slippers. I like being warm!
Outside, jeans with boots and chunky sweater!

What are your favourite Winter/Holiday makeup items?
Definitely moisturizer and a hydrating concealer like the Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer.

Does it snow where you live?
Not a whole lot but we do get a couple days a year of snow!

What is your favourite Christmas song/holiday song?
I honestly don't have a favorite. I love them all from Michael Buble to Mariah Carey to Ariana Grande

What is your favourite holiday movie?
Ooh... another difficult one. I guess I would say ELF or Christmas With the Kranks!

What are your favourite holiday decorations?
Obviously the christmas tree, but besides that the lights! They are just so magical and joyful. They are what add the perfect finishing touch to your decorations!

I don't have anyone specifically to tag so I tag anyone reading this that wants to do it. It was actually quite fun to write up. Hope you all have a happy and healthy holiday!

The Christmas Tag!- Countdown 2 Christmas Cheer


Hello there my beautiful friends! Guess what today is? That start of my Christmas Series! This series is called Countdown 2 Christmas Cheer! At the end of every post I will post a picture of how many days are left so read till the bottom! I am very excited about this series because I love Christmas so much. For some of you this may be too early but there aren't enough days in December! To kick off this series I am going to do The Christmas Tag. I wasn't tagged by anyone but I am still doing it anyway! Lol. Let's get started.....

Do you prefer a real tree or synthetic?
I always have and always will have a synthetic tree but I do like the feel and look of real ones. They are just too messy and will die by the time Christmas comes, I put it up too early. haha.

You're in a coffee shop, its December, what do you pick up?
I love the peppermint mochas or gingerbread lattes or any holiday drink really! They are all so good.

What's your favorite color scheme for decorating the tree?
My tree is just a jumble of things but I really like gold and silver or silver and red or red and green and silver and gold!

Giving gifts or receiving gifts?
Just admit it, you all like getting gifts. If you say you don't your lying! But I do like the feeling of giving someone that perfect gift and seeing the smile across their face. It makes you feel all warm and fuzzy!

To mince pie or not to? What's your favorite Christmas dessert/treat?
I am not sure what mince pie is so I changed it to my favorite Christmas dessert. Well my favorite dessert is pie! Apple, pumpkin etc.. any kind!
What's your traditional Sunday lunch-change to breakfast?
It's just the traditional breakfast. Bacon, eggs, sausage, hashbrowns etc...

Christmas day fashion?
I just wear my new pajamas I get for Christmas all day! If not I wear comfy clothes!

What's your favorite Christmas song?
Oh gosh! I have too many. I do even know where to start! All I Want for Christmas is You, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bell Rock, Santa Baby, Mistletoe by Justin Bieber. Pretty much all Mariah Carey and Justin Bieber Christmas songs. I like all types: the classic, pop versions and slow covers.

Open presents before or after lunch?
Definitely before!
