HI, I'M PODGE.

This is my first ever blog post on my first ever blog... ever! I'm a very nosy person and whenever I read a new blog I love to know a little bit about the creator and so I thought my first blog post should give anyone reading this a chance to get to know me, podge! So here goes, the 40 beauty questions quiz!

SKINCARE 
How many times do you wash your face daily?
Once, in the evening. In the mornings I do my normal night time skin care routine, I just remove the washing step!

What skin type do you have? (dry,oily,combo) 
Definitely combo! Slightly oily T zone but I get dryness between my eyebrows and around my nose.

What is your current facial wash?

Johnsons Gentle Exfoliating Wash.


Do you exfoliate? 
Yes! My day to day face wash is also a really gentle exfoliant but I also exfoliate twice weekly with my Soap and Glory The Fab Pore mask and leave it on for 5-15 minutes depending on how long I have.

What brand do you use?

Soap and Glory.

What moisturizer do you use?

At the moment I'm using the La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo in place of my moisturiser, but usually I use Garnier products or Johnsons, nice and simple products.

Do you have freckles?
 
Sometimes in summer.


Do you use eye cream? 
Yes! I'm nearly 21 which isn't at all old obviously but I'm no longer a teenage! At the moment I'm using Superfacialists Neroli Illuminate eye cream.


Do you or did you have acne prone skin?
Nope.


Did you ever have to use Pro-activ? 
Nope.


MAKE-UP

What foundation do you use? 
At the moment, Rimmel Wake Me Up. My other favourite is Lancome Teint Miracle but as I'm a student, I can't always afford it!


How about concealer? 
I don't use concealer at the moment.


Do you know your undertone color?
Pretty neutral, more on the cool side!


What do you think of fake eyelashes?
I love them but can just never get on with them, I used to have eyelash extensions which I loved but I started to get scared that I'd lose all my lashes when I was old so had them removed! I occasionally use strip lashes for nights out.

Did you know that you are supposed to change your mascara every 3 months?
 
Yes! I got conjunctivitis a few months ago which I'm fairly sure was because I used the same mascara all summer, so for about 4 months and took it abroad on 3 separate occasions... Must have picked up germs!

What brand of mascara do you use?

Maybelline at the moment but i'm not picky, I love benefit They're Real! mascara but I'm waiting on my student loan to repurchase it haha.

Sephora or MAC?
 
MAC


Do you have a MAC Pro-card? 
No!


What makeup tools do you use in make up application? 
For foundation I use my Real Techniques Stippling Brush and then I use my finger tips for my blusher/bronzer as I use a lot of cream products.

Do you use make-up base/primer for the eyes?
 
Never.


For the face? 
If I'm off for a night out, then maybe!

What is your favorite eyeshadow (color or shade)?

I have bluey/green eyes so neutral warm and golden colours with plummy colours at night tend to work best on me.


Do you use pencil or liquid eyeliner? 
Liquid the majority of the time.

How often do you poke your eyes with an eyeliner pencil?
 
Haha, not too often.


What do you think of pigment eyeshadows? 
Never tried any!

Do you use mineral makeup?
 
I've tried some but I love my skin to seem dewy and I always feel like my skin looks too matte when I use them!

What is your favorite lipstick?

Guava by Bobbi Brown, but I rarely wear lipstick.

How about lipgloss?
 
I literally never wear it.


What is your favorite blush to use? 
At the moment I'm using rimmel soft rose and it's gorgeous.

Do you buy your makeup on ebay? 
I've bought a set of makeup brushes from Ebay and a MAC reflects glitter pot in copper, that's all.


Do you like drugstore makeup? 
Love!

Do you go to CCO's? (cosmetic company outlets)
 
Never have done, but I would!


Did you ever consider taking make-up classes? 
I'm looking into it at the moment but they're expensive and I'm at uni so we'll see!

Are you clumsy in putting on makeup?

No, I'm pretty well practised now!


Name a makeup crime that you hate? 
DEFINITELY badly drawn or too thin eyebrows! Gross! and also pale lipstick and fake tan as a combination, never good, and clumpy mascara or excessive bronzer!

Do you like colorful shades of makeup (lipstick,eyeshadow) or neutral ones?
 
Both for different moods and different people! But I definitely stick to more neutral looks on myself.


Which celebrity always has great make up?
I love Kristen Stewart's red carpet looks, and Emma Watson! Very simple, young but sultry.


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

Eyebrow pencil!

Could you ever leave the house without any makeup on?
I would and I have but I wouldn't be happy about going out without doing my eyebrows or wearing mascara!


Do you think you look good even without any makeup on? 
If my eyebrows were fuller I'd be a lot more satisfied haha.


In your opinion, what is the BEST makeup line?
For the combination or value for money and quality; Rimmel.

What do you think of Makeup??
 
I love it! I genuinely look forward to applying my makeup in the mornings/for a night out and I love trying out new colours and new looks. 


Love,
Podge x
