I've added more things to my beauty regime...

I need to stop. It's like an addiction! I keep adding things to my shower/ beauty regime JUST BECAUSE OTHER PEOPLE DO IT. These things don't really improve my quality of life, rather, make it worse because it takes time from things I actually need to do. If you are like me, then I apologise in advance because I am about to talk about something I have started doing...

Shaving my arms.

Okay, I don't know if this makes me normal or not. Where I'm from, girls don't tend to shave their arms (especially girls with naturally blonde hair like myself). I have fair arm hairs, it really isn't necessary for me to do this and I know it; but I STILL do it! Don't get me wrong, I've been on the general shaving bandwagon for quite a lot of years now, I haven't just discovered razors like... But arm shaving? I kinda like it though I have to admit. I'm waiting patiently for the day someone tells me how beautifully smooth my arms are. A girl can dream, right?

Let me know if you think I'm crazy, or if you do it too! I'm sorry if you're now intently looking at the hairs on your arms. I did the same when someone told me about it.

That's it really!

Shortly after this was taken I rode on the back of an American pick up truck while sat on a quad bike. So rock and roll.

5. Have fun! 

Nobody actually tagged me in this, but it looked fun so I thought I would give it a go!

1.  Name a beauty regime that you rarely do?

FAKE TAN. I am a rather pale person and it used to really bother me, especially when my friends would come up to me in the summertime and compare tans with me and laugh. As I have gotten a bit older, I don't really mind being pale so much because it's me I guess. Also, I have to be honest, I am really bad at applying fake tan, so when I do apply it I look horrendous! I have learnt from my mistakes and am learning to love my skin for what it is!

Some say you're not a woman until you've had a beauty disaster... I've had loads so I must be really womanly!

2.  Is washing your make-up brushes something that you do regularly?

I don't really have a lot of make up brushes, I just about have one for each purpose I guess so I am more of a fan of spot cleaning my brushes as opposed to fully washing with them in shampoo! I wash my foundation brush a lot, but I tend to just clean eyeshadow brushes quickly after use or between colours. 

3.  How long will you last with chipped nail polish? 

AHHHHH I hate it!! When I was younger I would just leave it on until the end like a trooper, but now I'm getting old and naggy so I will either have a gel manicure or just plain filed nails now because it does my head in!

4.  How long will you put off buying/replacing a beauty product, even if you need it? 

That completely depends on how expensive the product is, and how much money I have at the time! I mean, obvious stuff like mascara or foundation and essential items I usually buy in advance like in the last third of their life, but stuff like eyeshadow or bronzer I just get it when I can.

5. What is your worst beauty habit? 

Going over any mistakes or smudges with concealer or foundation! If i get mascara on my face or eyeshadow fall out, I will try and wipe it away, but if all else fails I will just cover it up with make up... I'm not gonna waste the effort I've put in and start again, I got things to do!! Here's an example...

Oh snap I got eyeliner on my face... Hmm what should I do?!?!

COVER IT WITH CONCEALER! GENIUS!

6.  Name something non-beauty related that you put off doing all the time? 

Ironing. Oh man if it can't be decreased quickly with a hair straightener (another bad habit of mine) then I am not wearing it! Sometimes (once in a blue moon) I will go on a little spree, but I just hate it and don't really feel the need to go obsessive with ironed clothes, LIFE'S TOO SHORT.

7.  When going out somewhere, do you leave getting ready to the last minute? 

YES. Unless it's work, which I have to be on time for and happily do so, my friends will tell you I am late for EVERYTHING. Now, Alex from http://justmylittlelifeandme.blogspot.co.uk/ is my best friend, and she will tell you that I am a terrible daydreamer when getting ready. She does everything like a military operation, but apparently I am far too busy contemplating life to get ready on time. I wouldn't mind if I was actually doing other things... Oh well.

8.  Can you commit to spending bans?

Yes, if I have to. When I was a bit younger and had less to pay for (the good old days) I was worse than I am now for buying useless things, but now I kind of have to stop buying things just because they're sparkly. Sad times.

9.  How organised is your make-up and nail polish collections? 

I have gone through phases of organisation; from having seperate eyes, lips, face storage to general make up bags. At the moment I have my everyday items and all my brushes at my make up station, and everything else in a chintzy chest of drawers.

This is where I keep my everyday make up things so I know where it all is!

Things to apply substances to my face with...

To save having a bulky vanity, I have a make up station because I like standing to do my make up anyway!

In here I keep all kinds of other stuff: palletes and other make up/ beauty stuff in the top drawer,  hair stuff like straighteners etc in the middle, and other nik naks in the bottom like my pencilcase and notebooks.
