Poll: Your favorite type of blush?
I love blush. It's definately my favorite cosmetic to buy and apply. I'm a fan of powder blushes, mostly because I tend to have oily/combo skin and I think powder just works better for me.

Do you swap makeup?
Do you swap used makeup, either with your friends, family or on MUA? I pretty much swap only with my sister. For instance yesterday, she brought over some BE makeup that was too light for her, and I gave her my BE summer bisque that was too dark for me, some EM blush and some coppery-colored HIP shadow that doesn't look good on me.How do you purchase your make up products?

Are you a lipstick queen?
All of these New York lipstick's is very fashionable, nice, lasts long and looks radiant So do you put on the New York product? love it hate itWhen should one start using anti-aging creams?
I just turned 20 (still a baby I know) but I panicked becuase I had to be a grown-up (most of the panic was alchol fulled)! Something I've been thinking about is when I should start worring wrinkles, I've read in magazines (in the UK) about ladies as young as 20 getting botox! (also I dont take care of my skin, i.e.Which UD Big Fatty Colored Mascara have you tried? with pic
Finally added a pic using the Purple Haze with the Indigo over top of it, I hope that the colors are going to show up for you!
I have just tried the UD Big Fatty Black Cherry Mascara and have fallen in love with it. I am not a big fan of the regular big fatty mascara, it is soooo thick.
When you buy a new mascara...
....what do you do with your old one? I throw it away I keep it for a little while just in caseDo you use an EYE CREAM?
I think I have been neglecting my eye area! I usually concentrate on the rest of the face, and I think I should take care of my eye area asap!!
Any suggestions?
How do you remove your make up?
ta deee daaa!
I prefer a oil based gentle remover. My FAV is this Japanese brand, called Fancl.
What is your most favorite color eyeliner?
A shade of Black A shade of Brown A shade of Blue A shade of Purple A shade of Green Another shade color....What do you use to apply your foundation?
I use BE, and I really like using a brush to apply it. However once in a while I use a liquid foundation. I've just used my fingertips to apply it.Which MMU do you prefer?
Personally, I'm an EM convert - great price, great product, but I hate that they don't have retail outlets! Sheer Cover has always looked a little generic for me - I'm not an infomercial kinda gal, and Bare Minerals has such a price tag! (But they jars look so, so pretty...) I've also heard stuff about Afterglow Cosmetics, Signature Minerals, etc...Do you religiously wash your face/remove your makeup every single night?
I do and moisturize and use differin and metrogel and STILL break out I go to see my dermatogist on Tuesday so I pray she can put me on a different and effective regimen. Yes....every single night Most nights but I miss every once in awhile Sometimes Hardly Ever NeverWhen you go out, do you carry a make-up pouch in your bag?
Well, do you?
I don't most of the time. One thing, I am quite bad at organising my stuff.
Do you use every product in your make up case?
I got to admit, some items in my case are virtually untouched, such as bronzers, and random eye shadows. I end up using the same colors most of the time. Only when I have the luxury of time to do my make up do I dig around, explore, even rediscover the whole range of stuff I have in my case.
Has anyone told you that you are wearing too much make-up?
I saw this question posed on http://www.temptalia.com/ and adapted it into a poll.
Personally, nobody has ever told me that I wear too much make up, but at my workplace, hardly anyone puts on any decent make up. The most the others use is foundation and some lipstick, that's all.
Which makeup set?
Okay, for my daughter's gradutaion next month I want to get her a new makeup set. She has had a few problems with her skin and we have spent some bucks and time getting it looking good so for her graduation (besides the car we have already gotten her *sighs*) I want to get her a fresh good makeup colletion so as not to ruin the results we have gotten. These are the 2 I am trying to decide between and am having a hard time so I would love your opinions!
Veet?
does veet in-shower gel work because i just bought it and i was wondering if it was effective. yes no maybe so (jk)How often do you have a salon facial?
The Elemis Day Spa
I’ve just booked in for a Tri-Enzyme Resurfacing Facial at the fabulous Elemis Day Spa (which, by the way, is a little slice of heaven in central London. I’d live in the place if I could). I haven’t had a facial for about a year so I am treating myself to one of these babies.
Do you use toner on your face?
I haven't used toner in years. I picked some up at the Clinique counter years ago along with a whole skin care line, but seemed to get lazy with using it. Previous to that I just remember some toners reaking like alcohol, so that turned me off.What’s your beauty pet hate?
I saw this really pretty lady on the tube yesterday and she looked great except for the fact that she was wearing nude lippie and really dark coffee lipliner (like Pammie, only worse). For some reason this always really bugs me when I see it! Inevitably, the lipstick wears off first, leaving an unnatural tattoo line around the mouth - not a good look!
How do you like your nails?
Do you get them done at a salon? Are they fake or are they real? I do them myself at home, they are natural.Snap Judgement - Liquid or Pencil Liner??
Which one do you use? I prefer pencil for their staying power and intense colors, or maybe I have not found the perfect liquid liner yet. Pencil liner Liquid Liner Gel/Cream Liner I don't use eye liners Others - read my commentsSnap judgement - Rosy Blush, Dramatic Eyes, or Loud Lips?

Foundation before or after?
When does foundation fit in your make-up routine? I have seen people who do their foundation after their eye shadow application, while most others (myself included) apply foundation first thing. So how about you?Favourite eyeshadow combination?
Which of the following is your all-time favourite eye shadow colour combination? Smokey eyes - whether it be black, grey, purple, green etc Pale/ Pastels - baby pinks, blues, white etc Metallics - gold, silver, glittery, etc Neutrals - taupe, browns, beige, etc Colorful - rainbow, yellows, orange, etc Others - read my comments.Which hair salon do you prefer?
What are your preferences? Do you like those big name swanky hair salons? Or any one which is in your neighbourhood?Which hair salon do you prefer?
Well, any particular preferences when it comes to choosing a hair salon? Do you prefer those swanky big brand name types, or you go to anyone in your neighbourhood? For me, if it is just a simple wash and blow (or when I feel like coloring my hair jet black) I will just pop by my friendly neighbourhood salon, but for something fancier (like treatments, highlights and new cuts), I would go to my regular one in town.Do you like getting your hair washed at the salon?
Well, my bathroom and the whole kitchen is undergoing a major renovation (meaning the whole house is dusty and messy) and I have to use the spare toilet which is lacking in hot water, a proper showerhead. Which mean I cannot bear to wash my hair in the morning! It would just take me too long, and I would be late for work.PART 2 : I'm Intrigued To Know...
If someone broke into your house and you were close to your beauty products, which items would you use as your weapon? Anything that's cheap, I would never hurt my expensive "baby"! Heavy beauty stuff!The Cost of being a BPJ
So last week my bestest of girlfriends asked the following question and I was actually stumped on how to answer… "How much would you say you spend, on average, monthly on your beauty products?" I am comfortable being totally honest with her about anything, yet I found myself wanting to shrink the number considerably - and I don't know why! It's my money; I can spend it on what I want!Makeup Smeared?
Does it ever happened to you to get makeup smeared for the whole day without knowing it? Yes, it was soo embarrassed! (Do tell your story) No, that never happened to me since I check myself into the mirror all the time Sometimes and I like the way it lookChanel No. 5: love it or hate it?
I know it’s probably the most iconic fragrance ever – synonymous with luxury, style and class - but to me, Chanel No. 5 just smells of cat pee! Perfume is so personal isn’t it?
Would you wear a perfume that your sweetie's ex wore?
Last week I went to Bloomingdale's after work to poke around for some fragrances. I smelled Narciso Rodriguez (I know it's not new, but whatever) and LOVED it. Loved it!Top Brands
