1st tag: Post a pic!

►Post that photo and story on your blog.
►Tag five others (or more) friends to do the same.

My first album on my computer is full of puppy pictures! Here is number 10!:

This is a picture of my puppy, Bella, at 5 months. Bella is now 9 months so she's considerably bigger than she is in this picture. The other dog is my families Golden Retriever, Molly. Bella looks like she could be related to Molly but they actually aren't related. I thought Bella was going to look so different when she grew up because she looked a lot different than Molly did as a puppy, but now Bella is a spitting image of what Molly looked like when she was a puppy! Anyways, this particular picture was taken early one morning when I went to visit my parents for the weekend. I'm ALWAYS up early in the morning now because I have to take out Bella and feed her. I was soooo tired, it was like 7:30 am and it was pretty cold outside. As you can see there is frost on the ground. Though I was tired I thought the light was really beautiful and would make a great picture so I went back inside and grabbed my moms camera. They were both really tired when this picture was taken because we were running around outside for a while. They look SOOO happy and silly like they are smiling up at me, but the sun was so bright it was blinding them! haha I love this picture so much.

Now I tag Erica, Lacy, j_alaina, FabDiva20, Pau, Starla, Teri, Becky

7 Random Things About Me Tag

Unrelated to this post, I just got my Poison Ivy halloween costume in the mail and they sent me the wrong one (on ebay). Ugg. It looks nothing like the one they pictured (its an ugly one I saw online for sale that I would NEVER wear). Its so unflattering and cheap. This is why I hate ordering things online. I get upset over stupid things like this. Does anyone else? Like this freaking bothers me to no end! Anyways, I had to rage about it so hopefully it gets sorted out soon because I've been waiting for it for a while so I could start doing alterations and adding more ivy! Now its going to be cutting it close to Halloween and I'm not going to have as much time to work on it. Grrr.

Here is my actually post :) I realized that I never really did an introduction or a "get to know me" type of post when I first started so I thought it would be fun to do this tag. Hope you find it interesting.

1. I'm colour blind: Or "colour deficient" as I like to call it. lol It sounds a lot worse than it is if you don't know much about it. I am what they call "red-green" colour blind, but I only have troubles differentiating between blues and purples (mostly dark blues and purples). So say I see a pretty purple eyeshadow I like at sephora, my friends will tell me its blue and then I won't want it. haha. Only 0.4% of females in the population have it. It's more prevalent in males (8% of the population). I've never met another colour blind FEMALE until last night, surprisingly! She was one of my best friends, friends.

2. I've been wearing glasses since I was in grade 4: My first pair I had really "cool" rainbow coloured, big circled glasses. What was I thinking! LOL I blame it on my youth. The first thing I noticed when I wore my glasses for the first time was that I could see all the leaves on the trees! I really wanna get LASEK eye surgery soon. Probably withing the next couple years I will be getting it.

3. I have a bad case of road rage: Don't drive 60km in an 80km zone. Don't tail gate me. Don't honk your horn for no reason. Don't cut me off! haha Seriously. I start raging in the car. It's not as bad as some people I know, but I do curse a lot at stupid drivers and give them dirty looks. haha

4. Small family: I come from a small family but we are SUPER close. I have 2 older brothers and 2 male cousins so I grew up a tom boy, but now love my makeup and clothes :). There's a home video of me making the boys cry by beating on them LOL so I've always been able to hold my own. I used to hate being the only girl, but it doesn't bother me anymore because we are all grown up now.

5. Addictive Personality: By this I mean I get easily addicted to things (not in a drug addict way LOL). Like right now I'm addicted to makeup. I've been purchasing sooo much for the past year. I also get small addictions like if I have a craving for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, I'll have one and then want one for lunch for the next 3 days straight. It's a bit weird I know. lol

6. Slow to warm up: I'm really shy and quiet at first when I meet people or when I work in a new place. It always takes someone else to approach me and start a conversation, but as soon as the ice is broken I'm VERY talkative and let my personality out.

7. I lived in the same house and same city for 22 years of my life and then only moved out a year ago into my own place! I love the independence and that's why I now have my very own puppy! I can do what I want, when I want. It's hard getting use to not being pampered. My mom spoiled me by never making me clean or do my laundry. I've definitely learned a lot about myself in this past year.

Now I tag whoever wants to do this! It's really fun trying to think up random facts about yourself. Have a good weekend! I am celebrating Thanksgiving a week early with my family tomorrow and I'm going to eat myself into a turkey-coma. Num num num

What's in my purse?!

I actually find these posts really interesting. I love seeing what other girls carry around with them so I decided to do one of these posts as well! I had a long day full of errands and appointments so here is what I took with me!

Right now I'm using a Guess purse, but I sometimes change it daily depending on what I'm doing and where I'm going. I even have a purse inside of my purse (as you can see)! I do a lot of commuting because I moved a little ways from my family and friends to live with my boyfriend. So I'm ALWAYS driving to my hometown for visits.
I have this purse in white as well. I really liked the design so I had to buy them both. This one was 40% off so how can you go wrong!
hahaha omg it looks like I have a nuddie magazine I carry around with me


1. Cosmopolitan - I had to buy this because it had Kim on it :) I read this while I was waiting for appointments. I have to say that the past three issues of Cosmo has been tailored to me because last month Megan Fox was on the cover and the month before Katy Perry was!
2. Mini Purse - i use this when I go out w/ my friends to a club, dinner, or some place I don't want to carry my life around with me!
3. BlackBerry Curve - I have an agenda and make lists ALL the time so my black berry is my organizer and life saver. It's also my alarm clock. I think I'd be lost without this.
4. Lancome Makeup Case - I need a new one. I got this free and just want something more stylish. Maybe a MAC softsac?
5. My wallet - its a clutch/wallet I got at ALDO. I've had this thing forever and it organizes my cards and everything really nicely.
6. BCBG Max Azria Glasses case
7. Stride Gum
8. Pills
9. Bandaids
10. Makeup I keep in the outside zipper of my purse for easy access. Today I had some Vaseline in a MAC sample jar (my lips have been really dry), Maui Mix Lip Conditioner (smells like pina coladas, doesn't really do anything for my lips though), NYX Round Lipstick in Tea Rose, NYX Lip Pencil in Mauve, NYX Round Lipgloss in Mauve, MAC Blot Powder in Medium-Dark.
11. Body Shop Strawberry Body Butter - I use this on my hands. I need a new scent though...any suggestions?
12. Eye Drops - i get really dry eyes when I wear contacts. My eye doctor says I'm a "Partial blinker". Basically I don't close my eyelids all the way when I blink. I guess I'm suppose to consciously think about blinking for two weeks to break the habit, but that hasn't happened...
13. Hand Sanitizer
14. Hair Clip
15. Contact Case
16. Sample Perfume - Avril Lavigne
17. House Keys

I stayed over at my parents house for the night and I didn't want to bring my whole train case full of makeup so I just threw in my "5 Minute Face" products. I forgot to bring a bronzer though :(

1. Retractable Powder Brush by QUO
2. Tarte Cheek Stain in "Green Siren"
3. Benefit High Beam to highlight
4. MAC Pearl Glide Eye Liner in "Black Russian" to line under my eye
5. L'Oreal Extra-Volume Collagen Mascara
6. L'Oreal Lineur Intense Liquid Liner
7. MAC Brow Pencil in "Spiked"
8. MAC Paint Pot in "Rubenesque"
9. MAC Studio Finish Concealer in NW25
10. MAC Mineralized Skin Finish Natural in Medium-Dark
11. MAC Select Tint in NW25 (my second last bottle :( It's discontinued)

1. My perfect night would consist of being in my pjs and watching movies with either my man or my close girlfriends.

2. I love to bake and cook, but I HATE doing dishes (I think its the worst chore ever...I'd rather clean toilets and scrub floors...etc)

UPDATE: I just got home from work and realized I finally hit 200 subbies!!! THAT'S INSANE! Thank you so much to all my readers :) I really appreciate each and every one of you and enjoy reading your wonderful comments.

Once Upon A Time...

I was tagged by the beautiful Lexi to do the "Once upon a Time" tag (Thanks babe!), the rules are as follows:

1. Post a picture from your childhood (less than 13 yrs old).

2. Write about the picture.

3. Tag your friends and readers.

HERE'S THE STORY: I thought this picture was very "Beauty Blog" appropriate because even at a young age I was testing out products! Take for instance this baby powder I was smearing all over my leg. I must say though I was quite intelligent because I got the baby seat and used it as a stepping stool so I could reach the coveted baby powder on the counter. However, I can't say I look too intelligent because it appears I tried eating it as well...LMFAO.

NOW I TAG:

Jen
Monica
Alekis
Natty
Monica - Glamour Diaries

I also tag anyone else who wants to do this! It was a fun tag to do :)

2. I had my tonsils out when I was 4 because I kept getting ear infections (ear, nose and throat are all related)

3. I'm between 5'6"-5'7" and considered a midget by my best friends because they are all between 5'9"-6'0"!!!

4. I love thunderstorms.

5. I use to have a belly button piercing, but my body rejected it (all my ear piercings I've never had a problem with)

6. I played baseball for 11 years when I was younger, but stopped when I got a job. I also use to play Volleyball and Basketball. If I could get into a sport now, I would probably join a woman's league for Volleyball. I love it.

3 Year Anniversary! <3

This picture was taken a couple years ago, so I look a little younger

Today is my 3 year anniversary with my boyfriend, Charles! :D We didn't make any plans we just kinda "went with it". So spur of the moment we decided to go out for brunch and he took me to a restaurant that use to be an old school house! It was absolutely gorgeous inside. Very Victorian (which I love).
We ate in this room. It was called "the classroom".

Then we took the motorcycle out and went for a ride through the country and down to the beach. We just walked around the docks and it was really nice spending the day together. :)

Ask Me ANYTHING!

Hey guys!
I decided to make an "Ask Me Anything" post so that you can ask me questions! It doesn't have to be beauty related. You can ask me personal questions as well. I got this idea from a few of my fellow bloggers and thought that this would be a great idea. I love answering your questions so fire away. I'm pretty open so I can't wait to hear what kinds of questions you come up with! Just post your question in the comment box below and I will keep updating this post in response to each of your questions!

What are your favorite blushes brandwise and holy grail ? What are your preferred brushes for blush?

I really like MAC blushes as a brand. Their Beauty Powder Blushes are amazing. I also really like NARS. My absolute favourite blush is MAC Eversun. I also love MAC MSF So Ceylon, MAC Dollymix, MAC Pink Swoon, MAC Peaches, and MAC Harmony (as a contour). From NARS I love Orgasm. I really want to try them all, but a couple I've had my eye on are Luster and Lovejoy. For blush I always use my MAC 116. I put blush on the apples of my cheeks and sweep it back towards my hairline and this brush is really good for precision and placement. If I'm using a really vibrant blush, like Dollymix, I will use my MAC 187 to lightly dust it on my cheeks. I find this brush is better to control the amount you want, as opposed to the MAC 116 controls where you place it.

You are very very pretty :) Are there any days that you don't like yourself when you look in the mirror?

First off, thank you :). Secondly, of course I have some days where I wish some things about me were different. If it's that time of the month and I'm blotted...EVERYTHING looks bad on me haha. When I was younger I think I was harder on myself and now that I'm a bit older I'm more confident. As soon as I turned 19, was out of highschool and into University I started feeling very comfortable in my own skin. I think everyone goes through an awkward stage and it just takes people different periods of time to feel comfortable in their own skin. Before I always cared what other people thought of me, but now I don't give a crap.

I love the lip colors you use. What are some of your favorites and how pigmented are your lips naturally?

This is a hard one. LOL. I love pretty much all colours of lipstick. Off the top of my head some of my favourite lipsticks include MAC Hue, Shy Girl, Angel, Lovelorn, Snob, Myth, NYX Fig, Snow White, Circe. As far as lipgloss I like MAC Partial to Pink, Wildy Lush, L'Oreal Color Juice in Grape Soda, Revlon Life's a Peach, Victoria's Secret Plumping Lipgloss in Baby Pink. As far as pigmentation of my lips, they are pigmented enough to alter shades of lipsticks. I find a lot of lipsticks look quite different on my lips compared to other people using the same product. I'll try and post a picture of my natural lip colour soon.

I love your blog! I find it very informative and interesting... what made you start one? Do your friends or boyfriend know you blog?

When I started in late summer of 09' I was obsessed with beauty products, watching youtube videos, going on makeup forums...etc. I was googling some beauty related things and Natty's blog came up and I started following. I ended up following several other beauty bloggers and after a couple weeks of following I decided that I wanted to start my own blog! My friend's would always ask me to do their makeup and it was something I was gradually getting better at so I figured I'd share my journey with makeup with anyone who wanted to read about it. I never thought I would get 10 readers, let alone 500+! I really enjoy the beauty community and find everyone on here really supportive and helpful. We all share the same addiction. It's great to have people to talk to and ask questions. My friends know I have a blog and a couple of them are following. My one friend is about to start her own once she has some spare time. My boyfriend also knows and kinda teases me when I'm taking pictures of myself for FOTDs. It's a bit awkward having your own photo shoot, but I like looking back and seeing all the things I've done.

What do you like to do for fun?

When I'm not working I like to play with my puppy Bella, go shopping, go to the movies, rent movies, blog (of course), read, and hang out with family and friends. When the weather gets nice I go swimming almost every day. I'm a fish.

How do you achieve such gorgeous looks with both warm and cool coloring?

Cheryl, I want to know your love story, please tell us. I love love stories!!!

I had a summer job at the company I'm currently working for and I worked with Charles. I worked with him for 2 summers and at the end of the second summer we started dating. I remember hearing from co-workers that he liked me and I had a huge crush on him, but didn't think it was possible for someone like him to like someone like me. He is THE nicest person I've ever met. Anyways, he was on holidays the one week and it was Monday and I saw him in the waiting room. I asked him what he was doing there and he had to drop off paperwork at the front desk. I was walking to my area and he came running up behind me and asked me for my number. I secretly think he came in for me and not for "the paperwork". We have an 8 year age difference between us, but I've always been attracted to guys who are older than me. Never 8 years older though, but Charles does not look or seem his age. I knew from the moment we started dating that he was "the one" as corny as that sounds. I've never felt this way about anyone and I know that everything happened the way they did for a reason.

How did you like lights in concert? Also, what other kind of music do you listen to?

I loved Lights in concert. She was amazing. Great performer. I love live music more than recorded and she can definitely sing. I'm very eclectic when it comes to music. I basically listen to everything. The only genre I don't care for too much is country. I like some country, but not the really "twangy" stuff. I like Rock, Pop, Hip-Hop, Rap, Alternative, Classical...anything with a good beat, instrumentation or lyrics. If you looked at my iPod you would see everything!

What type of work do you do?

Right now I'm currently in manufacturing. I'm what you call an "Industrial Athlete" haha. I work for a major car company building cars. Probably the only car company that is prospering while the "Big 3" are going under. If you know about the manufacturing industry or have been listening to the news you can probably guess where I work. It's not a glamorous job, but they pay top dollar so I'm only in it for the money until something in my field (Psychology) comes up where I can make close to what I'm making currently.

How do you care for your hair - do you take any supplements?

At the moment I'm not taking any vitamins or supplements. I really should be taking my one-a-day woman's vitamin but I've been neglecting it. As for my hair, I usually get a trim every few months, but it's probably been closer to 6 months since I've had a cut and colour. I switch up my shampoo and condition because I find my hair reacts best when I switch products and don't use the same thing every single day. I'm currently using LUSH Big, LUSH American Cream, Herbal Essenses Color Me Happy, BIG SEXY HAIR Shampoo and Conditioner. I ALWAYS use a heat protectant (TreSemme) when I blow dry my hair. I usually use a large tooth comb after the shower to detangle any knots, but sometimes I want to get the job done faster and I use a brush. I rarely use hair products. I only use hair spray when I curl my hair. In terms of hair...I'm pretty boring. I use to have tons of blonde highlights, but my hair started to break at the ends and it was too high maintenance for me. I tend to take my showers at night and sleep on wet hair so I can minimize the use of a blow dryer and just run a flat iron quickly through my hair in the morning.

When was the last time you really cried, and why?

It was this past weekend. My 3 best friends and I all got into a fight. It was really stupid and we've never EVER had a fight...only very minor disagreements. The good thing about it was that we talked about it the next day and worked everything out. I'm not the type of person who can stay mad for long. I have to work things out as soon as possible. Having an argument with my friends, boyfriend or family member is the what hurts the most.

Do you make youtube vids? And if not would you ever consider it

Unfortunately, I don't make YouTube videos. I would definitely consider it if I had a little more time on my hands. As of this moment blogging is hard to do with the hours I've been working, but maybe in the future when things settle down I will have some time to put up some videos!

When did you get started in makeup?

I REALLY started to get into makeup January 09'. I basically bought my entire makeup collection, I have as of this moment, in one year. It was a bit ridiculous. My beauty product spending has been cut back substantially. I pretty much have everything I set out to get, with the exception of a few items, and would like to use up some things first before I buy others. Before 09' I was content with just some eyeliner, mascara, lip gloss and tinted moisturizer. My beauty routine is a lot more time consuming now... haha, but I love it. Once people started commenting on how my makeup looked it made me want to get better and buy more things. It's definitely a little addiction of mine.

What is your favourite place to shop?

As of this moment I'm in love with FOREVER21. I love how cheap and fashionable the clothes are. The closest mall to me is 35 minutes away so I don't shop as much as I use to. Now that I've discovered online shopping it has made it easier for me to pick up the things I need since I can't get out to the malls in person as often as I'd like.

Do you and your boyfriend want kids? If so, at what age and how many?

I definitely see us having kids in the next few years. I would like to have my first at around 26. Having twins is in my family and my grandmother was a twin (apparently it skips a generation so now it's my turn!). My ideal scenario would be having a boy first and then having twin girls. I want to have them as close in age as possible! Three kids is a lot, but I'd love to have a big family!
