questions and answers

This tag has been going around the blogs for awhile now and I fancied a go at answering the questions :) 
I haven't been personally tagged to do this but I figured that didn't really matter so here we go :)


1. What is your dream job?
Well, there are a mixture of things that I would love to do - however I am still searching for a job that includes all of them in one. I love writing more than anything in the world - it's, at a risk of sounding cheesy, my passion :) and I have infact written a novel which i'm really proud of (mostly because of it's length). However I also love writing and reading articles and am particularly interested in media, broadcasting, beauty, fashion, celebrity journalism etc and I think it would be more likely that I could get a career in this as I have been told that it's quite a struggle to get a book published because so many people are trying. 
I also secretly would love to be a television presenter, mostly because I like the idea of the lifestyle I would live being one and I am so interested in people and I love socialising and that's a big part of that job.
And I have to say I would never rule out acting - not theatre phantom of the opera style :P but just something on television that would be fun and really rewarding.
As you can see, I'm pretty undecided. Any tips would be gladly accepted :)


2. What is your favourite fragrance for winter?
I am actually between perfumes at the moment but something musky and slightly sweeter. I leave lights florals for when it's hot.


3. How do you take tea or coffee?
Well, I take my tea two ways depending on my mood: either really weak (like teabag dipped in for about a minute) and no milk or sugar and piping hot. Or strong and milky and sugary so i can pretend to be a builder.
I only drink coffee when I'm out and I have enough money to pop into starbucks - and then it's a 'skinny vanilla latte with sugar free syrup and a rocky road' mmmm :).


4. What is your most important beauty secret?
To take your makeup off properly every night. I have myself only just realised the importance of this - i suffer from breakouts quite often and since I've taken my makeup off thoroughly, cleansed, toned and used a cream wash then used my panoxyl gel (which is medicated) every night it's made a world of a difference. Do it! 


5. If you had an all expenses paid vacation anywhere, where would you go?
That's easy. I would go to New York, stay in the Ritz, travel everywhere in a limousine, drink starbucks whilst browsing the shelves in Chanel and dine in michelin star restaurants with my best friend. Gorge :).


6. If a genie popped into your lap right now and offered you three wishes, what would they be?
Hmm... 1. To have just enough money to never need to worry, for me and my family. 2. For my book to be published and to become a best seller. 3. To meet someone perfect for me and fall in love :)


7. If you could only have breakfast, lunch, dinner or dessert foods for the rest of your life, which one would you pick?
Well, I don't have that much of a sweet tooth so it wouldn't be dessert. And breakfast is the bane of my life so it would have to be lunch or dinner. Lunch, I think. Because that's when I get the most hungry and I love savoury foods. Eating is one of the best things in the whole world :).


8. If you had the chance to pick a famous person for your other half to meet, who would you choose for them?
I don't have a other half! Pass :).


9. What is your biggest makeup pet peeve?
Hm, I'm kinda obsessed with eyebrows looking perfect. I think messy ones look baaad and if they're neat then your whole face looks instantly lifted and beautiful :)


10. If you could only wear one piece of jewellery for the rest of your life what would it be?
A simple necklace. I just got this one from Urban Outfitters with a 'D' of it and it's absolutely beautiful - haven't taken it off since I got it.


11. What one talent do you wish you had?
I wish I could sit down at a piano and just play. I learnt the piano for years and got to grade three but I hated the monotonous learning of exam pieces. I also wish I could really, really sing - I would love a voice like Lea Michele's - I think she's absolutely incredible and her voice really moves me :).


12. The product you will continue to purchase?
This is a tricky because I don't really repurchase that often. I can't think of anything at all!


13. If you could look into the future would you? What would you want to know?
I wouldn't want to. I believe everything happens for a reason and I want everything to be a surprise :).


14. Who is your biggest celebrity crush? (include pictures)
It changes aaall the time! But at the moment I'm just a tad obsessed with the lovely One Direction boys who were on X Factor this year and came third. My favourite is Zayn ;).


15. What made you start a blog?
Well, my friend hebe had one and I thought it might be fun to get one too and it all went from there :).


I tag everyone to do this :)


Hope you enjoyed lovies :)
much love, Daisy x

Yes :( *sob sob

Did you ever have to use Pro-activ?
No, I have to say I don’t actually know what that is…haha


MAKE UP

What foundation do you use?
At the moment Elf Mineral foundation in light, with
SPF 15 and I ♥ it. I don’t like anything too heavy so this loose powder one is great.

How about concealer?
Collection 2000, 16 hour long wear concealer in medium 3 – I have been re-purchasing this for aaaages.

Do you know your undertone color?
Probably quite light.

What do you think of fake eyelashes?
I love them, but I rarely have the chance to wear them :(

Did you know that you are supposed to change your mascara every 3 months?
Yes – I think I do :)

What brand of mascara do you use?

At the moment Max Factor’s False Lash effect mascara, seriously BUY IT.


Sephora or
MAC?
Hmm, let’s see. I can’t really afford
MAC and I’ve never been to Sephora. Superdrug? ;)


Do you have a
MAC Pro-card?
Nah, but I like to think of myself as a ‘pro’ haa


What makeup tools do you use in make up application?
Kabuki brush, concealer brush, total face brush, several types of blusher brush, eyeshadow brushes, eyeliner smudge brush, lip brush.

Do you use make-up base/primer for the eyes?
Yes – No.7 Smoothing protect and perfect – I think it’s called.

For the face?
No, but I have serious lust factor for one!

What is your favorite eyeshadow (colour or shade)?
Hmm, that’s actually really tricky – I guess probably, at the moment (but it will probably change soon) 17 single eyeshadow in punky purple, I think they’re £3.49 each.

Do you use pencil or liquid eyeliner?
Both. But I prefer liquid.

How often do you poke your eyes with an eyeliner pencil?
Haha, that’s a funny question. A lot less than I used to.

What do you think of pigment eyeshadows?
Hmm, they can be a bit messy and create a lotta fallout but they last ages, I like ‘em.

Do you use mineral makeup?
Yes, I’ve just discovered it and I’m so glad I did.

What is your favorite lipstick?
Ooh – don’t ask me that!

I think Barry M’s touch of magic is pretty spesh :)

But it’s gotta be Barry’s ol’ 101 marshmallow – me and that lipstick have a love-hate relationship, but at the moment all I feel is luurrrvveee.

How about lipgloss?
Benefit’s lip gloss in ‘life on the A list’ – a gorgeous peachy baby pink.

What is your favorite blush to use?
Probably this BC compact, think it’s from Just Beauty, that ma friend gave me. It’s just beyond gorgeous!

They sell makeup?!

Do you like drugstore makeup?
Love. Nuff said.

Do you go to CCO's? (cosmetic company outlets)
Nopey nope.

Did you ever consider taking make-up classes?
I’ve had a makeup ‘lesson’ at Benefit, if that counts hehe. But I think it would be fun, yeah, would like it give it a try I think :)

Are you clumsy in putting on makeup?
I hope not!

Name a makeup crime that you hate?
Orange foundation, I know a lot of people who commit that crime, EVERYDAY. Haha :D

Do you like colorful shades of makeup (lipstick,eyeshadow) or neutral ones?
Eyeshadow – nothing too bright, unless the occasion calls for it, I’m a big fan of golds, browns and purples because they compliment my green eyes.

Lips – I tend to stick to a pale lip, but I’m always trying bright pinks. I’m still too much of a scaredy cat for red though.

Which celebrity always has great make up?
Cheryl Cole – of course.

If you could leave the house using just
ONE make up item, what would you use?
Mascara.

Could you ever leave the house without any makeup on?
Yeah I think so. But is a paper bag allowed?

Do you think you look good even without any makeup on?
Hmm, I think not. But I guess everyone thinks that. I think makeup is so good for giving people confidence; it definitely makes me feel like that :)

In your opinion, what is the BEST makeup line?
I think my top three are: Barry M, Collection 2000 and Benefit.

What do you think of Makeup??
I love it. What else is there to say…?

Well, that's it - I hope you enjoyed reading my answers lovelies!
