• Tag // Procrastinating Beauty Blogger •

So I'm sitting here, with my cup of tea, when I stumble across this tag that I've never heard about. I absolutely love reading what Jen from From Head to Toe has to say so when I started reading her answers to the Procrastinating Beauty Blogger Tag, I was hooked. I've written lots of product reviews on this blog, and as much as I looove writing and reading reviews, I thought it would be fun to do a tag. This one really caught my eye as it's not the general "what product can you not live without/would you rather high-end or drugstore make up" kind of tag - it's more interesting and fun (in my opinion anyway!)

1) Name a beauty regimen that you rarely do.
Moisturise before I put my make-up on...terrible, I know. I rarely have time though, and would much rather spend a few extra seconds perfecting my mascara than putting moisturiser on my face. It may come as no surprise, then, that I don't wear SPF under my make up either. I feel like I can get away with this in cloudy England and my skin never sees the sun anyway - I leave at 7.30am for work and I get back at around 5pm, at which time I'm ready to cosy up at home, not go and sunbathe! I do try and use foundations with SPF, however they tend to break me out. Anyway, I digress - onto the next Q.

2) Is washing your make up brushes something that you do regularly?
Yes, every Sunday, religiously. I'm paranoid about spreading germs and bacteria on my face so I make sure my brushes are squeaky clean when I wash them every week. I also spot clean them with my LUSH Tea Tree Toner Water to fight any bacteria before I use my brushes - this might seem like quite an odd thing to do, but this works really well.

3) How long will you last with chipped nail polish?
About a day. I literally can't stand the look of chipped polish so I tend to make time as soon as possible to sit down and paint them.

4) How long will you put off buying/replacing a beauty product, even if you need it?
I'm quite good at putting off buying new products as I keep reminding myself that I have a whole cupboard full of make up, and I end up being unable to justify it to myself. I usually cave after around 2 weeks. Replacing a beauty product, however, is a different story - if I run out of something that I need, like a mascara, I will go and buy myself another one as soon as I get the chance. I usually only have one mascara on the go so when it's gone, it's gone. It becomes a desperate situation...

5) What is your worst beauty habit?
Biting my cuticles. Eugh, even writing this makes me cringe. But I do! And it's awful. They usually bleed and I try to cover them up by painting over them with nail polish. Oh this is getting worse isn't it...your opinion of me is going downhill. I do have lots of great beauty habits, though, honestly!

6) Name something non-beauty related that you put off doing all the time.
I'm not really a putter-offer to be honest. I just like to get horrible things over and done with, so I usually put them at the top of my to-do list.

7) When going out somewhere, do you leave getting ready to the last minute?
Definitely not. I will always make sure I have enough time to relax whilst doing my make-up and hair because this is the part of the day that I have time to myself and do what I love doing the most. I tend to wake up in the morning and start my make up and hair right away and leave breakfast til the last minute - priorities!

8) Can you commit to spending bans?
It depends on how skint I am! If I reaaaally want to buy something, I usually check my bank balance - if I can justify it to myself (and if I have enough money in my account) then I'll break the spending ban. If I can't justify it, and if I check my bank balance and I cringe, then I will commit to my spending ban 100%.

9) How organised are your make up and nail polish collections?
It's an organised mess, put it that way. I, and only I, know where everything is. I tend to have my everyday make up in an old Glossybox on my vanity, then I have my most-used nail polishes in another Glossybox on my vanity. The boxes are pretty jumbled and I still have to root around in them to try and find what I'm looking for, so you could say they're semi-organised. I also try and switch around the products in these boxes about once a month or else I'll never use any of my other make up - I tend to get stuck in a rut sometimes if I enjoy the beauty routine I have!

I hope you enjoyed this tag, and I tag all of you to do it! I'd love to hear your answers so please feel free to leave a link to the post in the comments box - I feel like you can really get to know a lot about the blogger with this tag :)
