This or That Beauty Tag


Makeup: 
1. Blush or Bronzer: When I put on a full face of makeup I usually do both, but if I had to pick I would probably go for blush over bronzer because I have such pink skin that I usually don't have a tan.
2. Lipgloss or Lipstick: Again both, I like to use a pink nude with a gloss over.
3. Eyeliner or Mascara: Mascara, definitely.
4. Foundation or Concealer: Concealer with a press powder!
5. Natural or Colored Eye Shadow: I use neutral purple colors. So I guess colored
6. Press or Loose Eye Shadow: Press....I would make a mess with loose! I do every time with my bronzer! Haha
7. Brush or Sponge: Brush for everything.

Nails:
1. Opi or China Glaze: I buy Julep mostly or cheap stuff from Target, but I would go for Opi probably
3. Acrylic or Natural: I like the look of acrylic, but I cannot function with them. They are Au-naturalle.
4. Bright or dark: Brights on my toes most of the time.
5. Flower or No flower: At the salon, always a flower.....when I do it myself it just looks like a blob so I go sans flower.

Perfume: 
1. Perfume or Body Splash: Perfume. It last longer, but I tend to wear nothing. 
2. Lotion or Body Butter: Lotion.
3. Body Wash or Soap: Bar soap mostly with a body scrub.
4. Lush or other: Never tried them....but would be interested!

Fashion:
1. Jeans or Sweat Pants: Sweat pants! I love to be comfortable, but usually go out in jeans
2. Long or Short Sleeves: I like to layer, because I am usually cold. So short sleeves.
3. Dress or Skirt: Dresses, especially maxis! I don't wear skirts very often.
4. Scarves or Hat: Scarves. Hats don't fit my pinhead!
5. Studs or Dangling earrings: Studs for the main hole. If I use both holes I do studs and dangling.
6. Necklace or Bracelet: Necklace. Bracelets don't fit my wrists. They slide around and bug me!
7. Heels or Flat: Depends on my mood, but I love flip flops so I guess that qualifies as flats. 
8. Cowboy Boots or Riding Boots: I have fake riding boots that I love, but I want a pair of cowboy boots. It's on my holiday wishlist!
9. Jackets or Hoodies: Jackets, but hoodies if I'm lounging.
10. Forever 21 or Charlotte Russe: Forever 21. 

Hair:
1. Curly or Straight: I have straight hair so that's usually how I wear it, but I love to curl it for special occasions.
2. Bun or Pony Tail: Bun. I usually want it completely off my neck when I pull up my hair.
3. Bobby pins or Butterfly clip: Bobby pins.
4. Hairspray or Gel: Hairspray.
5. Long or Short: I have long hair and I am DYING to go short again. I wish the hubs liked short hair!
6. Dark or Light: Always my natural strawberry blonde!
7. Side swept or Full Fringe: Side swept. But I have nothing right now!
8. Up or down: Down. 

Random:
1. Rain or Shine: I could live in Seattle.....I love overcast and rainy days!
2. Summer or Winter: Winter.....not that it matters in SoCal...we don't get snow. It's a permanent fall.
3. Fall or Spring: Fall :) 
4. Chocolate or Vanilla: Chocolate!!!!!!!

I would like to tag: • All of you!!!

Julep Nail Polish - Monthly Beauty Box

I'm not a beauty guru, nor do I play one on tv. However a TON of bloggers have been going CRAZY over this monthly nail polish/beauty box subscription called Julep. I signed up to see what my profile was, you take the quiz to find out your beauty style....I'm an "It Girl." I perused their site and decided that I had enough nail-polish and really didn't need anymore. (By the way....I'm obsessed with painting my toenails!) That being said, I was ok with not signing up until I got an email from them this morning with an offer for a $25 Sea Salt mystery box. Guaranteed to have $70-$200 worth of product in it with a chance of a $1000 Visa gift card. That peaked my interest for SURE! What else drew me to it was the colors. Very pretty nude colors, with a hint of glitter. I don't have ANY nudes and you are guaranteed to get one of the pictured colors in your box. Praying for the dark nude or the black!) Add in the fact that Samantha from Designer in Teal told me about the free first box code: (FREEBOX) I couldn't pass up the opportunity to get over $100 in products for $25, plus shipping of course!

'It Girl' Starter Box

EEK! I'm so excited to receive this box and hopefully gonna get some great new products and nail colors to try on my tootsies! Hop on over to Julep and give it a try! I'll be sure to let you know when I get my box! YEAH!
