Beauty Blogger Tag

Hey everyone, I was tagged by Lisa from Multitasking Damsel about a month ago and haven't gotten around to doing it until now. Sorry, Lisa! Anyway, here it goes!

Rules:

1. State that the tag was created by The Beau Bow 
2. Tag as many beauty bloggers as you would like 
3. Title this post the ‘Beauty Blogger Tag’ 

Questions & Answers: 
1. Name a beauty routine you barely do.
I never really do my brows 'cause they are ultra bushy and I'm too lazy. Even though, I have a patch that I should fill in, I feel like I can get away with a natural thick brow look. After all, Cara's brows are the trend right? 

2. Is washing your brushes something that you regularly do?
Hmmm, define "regularly"? Does whenever I feel like it's dirty count? I don't use makeup or brushes frequently, so it's a bit hard to answer this question.

3. How long do you last with chipped nail varnish?
One or two days? Can't stand them. Even a single small chip, makes me want to wipe all of it off.

4. How often do you put off buying/replacing a beauty item or nail polish, even if you need it? 
When it comes to buying beauty items, I never put it off!

5. What is your worst beauty habit? 
Not putting on sunscreen everyday. That's the only one I can think of at the moment.

6. Name something non-beauty related that you tend to put off all the time.

Uh, laundry? Chores? 

7. When going out somewhere do you leave getting ready until the last minute or not? 
No, I feel rushed if I have to get ready right up to the last minute.

8. Can you commit to spending bans?

So far, yes. But I think it's 'cause my spending bans haven't been that long or strict! 

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

Err... They once were! 

10. What is the longest time you have gone without writing a blog post?Oooh, probably 6 months or more? But that was before I converted this into a beauty blog. 

Okay, now it's your turn! I'd like to tag the following bloggers: 

1. Sandy from Eyes for Makeup

2. Kerri from Beauty and Things 

3. Ms Jelena's Blog

4. Sarah from breathebeauty

Tag Week: 5 Things You Didn't Know About Me

Source: 7yaks.wordpress.com

A big thanks to Sandy from Eyes for Makeup, who tagged me to do a "Get to Know Me" type post. Absolutely love your questions, Sandy. I enjoyed answering them!

1.What do you do outside blogging? Work, study, chase pigeons?
I'm studying Medicine at uni.

2. Do you have any special talents like singing or burping the alphabet?
I wish I had a special talent. I'm not aware of any. I think the closest one would be "being bossy".

3. If you could be any animal, what would you be?
I'd like to be a dog. Either a Labrador or Golden Retriever or a Border Collie. They are such happy and lovable dogs! If not, I'd be an alpaca. They are sooo adorable!

4. If you could only eat 3 things for the rest of your life, what would they be?
Wow. This is hard. If I have to be practical about it, I'd choose fish, broccoli and corn. I'm probably taking this question too literally.

5. Do you feel like you don't have enough, have enough or have wayyyy too much makeup?
I think I have enough makeup. Probably more than enough. I can't help but want more though...

3. If a genie appeared and would grant you one wish, what would that one wish be?
4. Would you rather have an amazing wardrobe of clothes and shoes or an amazing makeup/beauty collection? Choose one only.
5. If you could only eat one dessert for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Triple S: What's in My Purse/Wallet?

I don't know about you but I refer to "mini money-holding bags for women" as purses. I realise that Americans call them wallets and purses mean handbags to them. For me, wallets are "mini money-holding bags for men". What do you call them? For the purposes, of this blog entry, I will refer to these bags as purses.

Anyway, I just thought I'd do something fun and different today. I've poured all the contents out of my purse (and arranged them neatly) to show you what I carry around with me every day. I have actually left out one item but I will get to that later. 

 
So here are (almost) all the things that I have in my purse every day:

- Money
- USB (You might find it strange but it so handy! My friends are always giving me stuff like music, photos, etc. This way, I never run into the risk of forgetting to bring my USB.)
- Band-aids
- Eye drops (My eyes get irritated a lot and often when I am not at home.)
- Bobby pins
- Rubber hair tie
- Cards

I usually carry this many cards around with me. Some are very useful and others are hardly ever touched. I am not going to name any of the cards. Oh, and in case you're wondering, my purse is from Charles Berkeley. I bought it in Malaysia a couple of years back.

  Normally, I would keep a blister or corn patch in my purse because there's this one toes that has suffered a lot of abrasion and never fully recovered. I love these patches they help keep the agony at bay, particularly when I am wearing heels. I use Compeed because they are quite good. I only wish they weren't so expensive. I have tried a cheaper brand/version but it is just not good enough. If you do know of a good and cheaper one, do let me know! 

I hope this post has been fun and interesting for you. I plan on doing something like What's in My Shoe Closet next, since I have had one or two requests. Hopefully, I will get around to it!

What do you have in your purse/wallet?
