Question Wednesday...Products!

Hello:

Today's Question Wednesday deals with some of my favorite make-up looks and products:

1. 
   What is your go-to eye makeup look? What products do you use to achieve this look?  Usually winged eyeliner on what "appears" to be a naked eyelid, with defining mascara.  I use either a Too Faced light champange color for shadow or a Rimmel one.  The Lancome Le Crayon Kohl  in Ebony and whatever mascara I'm into at that moment.
2. What are your top 3 favorite lip products for summer?  Definetly the new Revlon Just Bitten Balms, lovely colors and hydrating.  Pixi's Balm and Lip Tint, or just a little colored liner and chapstick with SPF.
3. What is your favorite liquid face product?  Lancome Teint Idole 24H in 100.  Matches my skin like no ther and makes it look flawless. 
4. What is your favorite eyebrow product?
   Chanel Eyebrow pencil in Brun with clear mascara over the top.
   
5.  Lastly, what are some of your holy grail makeup items?  I actually, don't have many.  I find so many things that work really well, for different looks.  I have things that are "Known Commodities" that I can trust for a good basic face:  Lancome Teint Idole 24H Foundation, Lancome Occillation Intensity Mascara, Sonya Kashuk Eye Primer, Rimmel eye Trio in Orion, Bobbi Brown Blush in Pale Pink, Physcian's Formula Healthy Glow Bronzer in Light.  Lancome Color Design lipstick in Pale Lip.  My actual only HG item is a prescription for Renova ( a Retin-A product) expensive, but I don't break out, my skin is smooooooth, tighter and less freckly. 

I would love to know some of your Holy Grail items!

Question Wednesday...a bit late

Hello!

I went up to visit family over the last 36 hours and I didn't have access to a computer... so I'm a bit behind.  But it's nice to see relatives that you haven't seen in a bit and catch up.  Anywhoo...

I wanted to join a weekly question/blogging thing and 2 of the blogs I already read were doing it, so I joined in.  It's hosted by Aly @ Wonderland Beauty so check, check, check it out Here.

1} How long have you been blogging?

Since January, so 8 months.  Not that long, but long enough to have collected and reviewed 6 different BB creams :)

2} Why did you start blogging?

I read Temptalia.com, Prettymaking and Bows and Curtsey's everyday and while their blogs and skills are WAAAAAYYYY more advanced than mine, I just wanted to share my bit of knowledge too.  Plus I felt like there wasn't enough info about foundations and sunscreens for pale beauties. 

3} What is the best thing about blogging?

Finding more amazing blogs and products from around the world.  I also love when someone leaves a comment and I can feel like I helped in a small way.  It also gives you a great sense of community and it's great to know there are other people that are just as excited by a new blush or finding the right fake eyelashes as I am.

4} If you didn't have a beauty blog, what type of blog would you have?

A blog about books and reading.  I sometimes want to write about it, but it doesn't seem to mesh yet.  I have kept a book diary for the last 8 years of every book I've read, a rating of the book and a short synopsis. To say I read a lot is an understatement, I have my library card # memorized.  And no, I do not have a Kindle I still love a "real" book. :)

5} Lastly, what's the toughest thing about blogging?

Finding new products to buy every week without breaking the bank and then taking pictures of it!  I think I'm one of the few bloggers that shows my face frequently without makeup (and I know I look half dead sometimes) but I really want to show the coverage items give, or if it "works".  I still can't get a good picture of eyeshadow - it always looks washed out.

Thanks for stopping by and reading!
