Beauty Blogger Tag

Hi everyone, today my first ever blogger tag, it's started by the lovely Nina from Nina's Bargain Beauty, and I red about it on Aislings blog. We're all invited to join in so, here it goes;

1. Is your hair naturally curly or straight?

Neither, haha my hair is most of the part straight, but flicks up here and there.

2. What is your natural hair colour?

Golden brown.

3. Do you dye it yourself or go to a salon?

Being a DIYMama, I do it myself ;-)

4. How often do you wash your hair?

I wash my hair daily, but am trying to cut down. And I have to say with my new shampoo, I can stretch it to 2 days without washing

5. Do you wear the same style every day or change it?

I pretty much wear the same style every day, being a mom my clothes have to be practical, in my opinion. No fringes, or long necklaces, while bending down for tying shoelaces or changing diapers ;-)

But I am trying to spruce up my style,and with spring/summer coming, I can't wait to go shopping again.

6. Do you do your own mani/pedi or go to a salon?

Usually I do my own, having a beautician backfground. But I do go to a specialized pedicure once every couple of months because of my Diabetes, just to keep everything healthy ;-).

7. How often to you change your nail polish?

Having my hands in dishwater, bathwater etc means my polish chips with the speed of light, so IF I'm wearing any i usually take it off after 2 days.

8. Do you polish your toes in the winter, too or just in the summer?

No, just in summer, don't feel the need to do them if there isn't anyone who sees it anyways ;-)

9. How long does it take to put on your makeup?

In the morning it takes about 15 minutes to put on a full face of make up, that's about the maximum of time my kids give me haha, after that they get bored and become little rascals. If I have more time, for example for a night out, it's about 30 min, that's when I really like to make more dramatic eyelooks.

10. What do you do first? Face or eyes?

Face; making a flawless canvas:, primer, concealer, foundation, shape, blush, highlight. Then eye's and lips.

11. Do you "collect" makeup or just buy what you need when you need it?

I used to be a real down to earth make up kind of girl, when my mascara ran out I'd buy some, if my eye shadow hits pan I have to rebuy the same I used for ages. However..... after I discovered blogging and MUA I have to say I became a real hoarder. I have more lipsticks than I ever owned, and enough shades of eye shadow to make a different eye look every day for a year probably haha. And still I would love to have more.  

12. How often do you wear false eyelashes?

I would love to try them, but haven't really worn them EVER. I tried once, but my own lashes were in the way for me to properly stick the falsies on. So I gave up... but I am planning on trying again any time soon.

13. Do you do a full face of makeup every day?

Nope.

If I feel like it I'll do a full face of make up.

14. Do you wear makeup when you are home alone (or with family)?

Again if I feel like it, I can enjoy wearing no make up just as much as wearing a full face of make up. It feels like a guilty pleasure to not wear make up on a lazy Sunday.

15. Will you leave the house without makeup?

Absolutely! 

16. How many high end products do you have?

None, can't justify for myself to buy highend goodies, when I could buy a week worth of grocery's or a new pair of shoes for my kids.

17. How often do you wash your makeup brushes?

After 1 or 2 uses I wash my brushes, so if I'm wearing my make up everyday it's about 2 a 3 times a week, but usually it comes down to 1 or 2 times a week.

18. Do you plan your OOTD every night or decide when you are getting dressed?

Nope, I'll see whats in my closet and what goes together haha.

19. How often do you change your handbag?

As little as possible, if I change my hand bag i tend to end up with no wallet at the grocery store because of it being in my other purse.....(happend a lot) 

20. What time do you get up & go to sleep?

I get up when my kids wake me, that's usually around 6:30, and go to sleep around 23:00.

21. How often & when do you workout?

Way to little, I swim once a week. And am trying to take up my running again, but it's so cold at the moment, I know: I'm a sissy.

22. Left-handed or Right-handed?

Absolutely right handed, can't even twease with my left hand.

23. How tall are you?

1.74 m, don't know how much that is in inches ;-)

24. Do you speak a foreign language?

It's absolutely rusty, but I think I can communicate quite well in English. I had German at high-school  but that's been 15 years ago, so that's no good either anymore.

25. How many pets do you have?

I have 2 cats, "Billy the kitten"(when he was younger), and Poekie.

26. How often are you on Blogger?

More often than I should be haha, love to work on my blog, about 3 times a week is average I think.

27. Do you read the comments posted blogs?

Everyone, I'm so happy if someone takes the effort writing me a comment. I try to reply every comment.

28. Do you keep a list of products to try as you see other posts?

Some blogs make me so greedy haha, would love to have them all. And I definitely keep in mind if a product had great reviews or not when I'm buying myself.

29. How did you come up with your blog name?

This mama tends to try doing things herself before asking people to help, or buying ready made things. A real "I can do it myself" mentality.

30. What kind of camera do you use for photographs?

Panasonic DMC -FS6.

31. How often do you clean your house? (Daily, weekly, other)

Daily, and still it isn't a Mrs Bouquet kind of house, with 2 kids and 2 cats, there is enough to keep you busy day and night.

32. What is your favorite colour?

Purple.

33. What is your favorite beauty/fashion magazine?

Grazia. Don't buy much magazines, I prefer to read online.

34. Do you swear?

I try giving the right example for my kids, but that moment that you hit your tiny little toe on the edge of the door, again! That are the moments a naughty word slips out of my mouth, luckily that's so seldom that my son looks at me with question marks in his eyes " Mommy what does @#$%^% mean?" hahaha.

35. What are you doing with the rest of your day?

Keeping the house decent, play with kids. No cooking today, were eating at grandpa and grandma today.

Hereby I challenge every beauty blogger to join in on this tag, and please let me know, I'd love to learn more about you!

Hugs and Kisses DIY Mama.
