Would You Rather: Beauty Edition, The Sequel

Dear wonderful readers, 

It seems that as soon as I caught the train for the last Would You Rather: Beauty Edition, someone came up with a new one. Well this blog can't lag that far behind as long as I'm in charge! If you've been reading my blog, or happened to stop by more than once, you'll know I do an obscene amount of surveys/tags. This particular one is going around YouTube currently, and I find tags extremely fun and easy to do, as well as easy to read/watch them on other people's blogs/channels. Naturally, I must complete the tag as well.

Here it is, once again:

1. Would you rather lose all of your mascaras, eyeliners, lipsticks, and lipglosses or lose all of your palettes and eyeshadows?

This is the easiest question ever. It's not fair, really, how easy it is. I own a grand total of one eyeshadow palette, and a few odd eyeshadows that I never wear. I'm a lipstick girl all around, hence the blog title, and I couldn't live without those, nor without lipglosses. I'd much rather lose the palette.

Would you rather chop off all your hair or never be able to cut it again?

I guess if I chopped off all my hair, it would grow back, but my face is not cut out for a lack of hair, nor does my hair grow fast enough to make it okay. I guess I'd rather never be able to cut it. I could always trim off split ends, but if it was physically "uncuttable," I suppose it would be strong enough to not have split ends.

Would you rather have a coral cheek or a pink cheek?

A pink cheek. I have a feeling I could pull it off better since I'm so pale.

If you had $1000 to spend, Would you rather buy clothes or makeup?

This one is debatably the hardest question for me. I honestly don't spend much on makeup, nor do I think I'll need to, despite my love for lipstick and concealer. I think I'd really like to redo my wardrobe and amp up my style, so clothes win this one with utmost certainty.

Would you rather apply lipstick as eyeliner, or eyeliner as lipstick?

Eyeliner as lipstick. I'm rubbish at applying eyeliner and never wear it anyway, but there are eyeliners that are pink and red, so I could use that as lipstick.

Would you rather only shop at MAC or Sephora?

This was in another tag, I believe, and I would choose Ulta because it's a cheaper version of Sephora. If I have to choose between these two, it will be Sephora for the variety of brands and products.

Would you rather only use one eyeshadow color or one lip color for the rest of your life?

This tag is almost unfairly too easy for me. One eyeshadow color, of course. I don't wear any, anyway. 

Would you rather wear winter clothes in summer or summer clothes in winter?

Summer clothes in winter. I do it anyway, because I don't own more than a few sweaters/long sleeved shirts. I live in tanks or short sleeved shirts with cardigans, paired with jeans anyway. Or I'd wear dresses with cardigans. I think I'm allergic to winter clothes.

Would you rather dark nails or bright nails all year round?

Bright, without a doubt. I rarely wear dark nails as it is.

Would you rather give up your favorite lip product or your favorite eye product?

Seriously? You'd think I wrote this tag. Definitely my favorite eye product. [Shhh, don't tell anyone I don't have a favorite eye product!]

Would you rather only be able to wear your hair in a pony tail or a messy bun?

Probably a messy bun, because that's what I tend to do when it's not down.

Would your rather never being able to paint your nails again or never use lipgloss?

I have actually gone a year or so without painting my nails, but I've gone just as long without lipgloss. My love for nail polish is a much longer love, and I think as long as I have lipstick, I could live without gloss.

Would you rather shave your eyebrows and have none at all? or sharpie them in everyday?

I need eyebrows or my face would look crazy, so nasty as it sounds it would have to be sharpie.

Would you rather live without makeup or nail polish?

I'd probably have to live without polish than without any makeup, especially because when I break out, I feel like it's unprofessional not to use makeup to cover it up at work.

So there's the other Beauty Edition tag. Again, please do this tag if you want to, absolutely anyone. I hope you are amused as I am at the questions, as well as how darn easy they were for me to answer.

I'll be talking to you soon!

Would You Rather: Beauty Edition

Once again, the wonderful tradition of tags continues right here on this blog, this time taken once more from ElleandBlair.com. In case you forgot to read the title, this is another "Would You Rather" tag. If you so desire, you can find my first of these two tags right here. That one focuses specifically on makeup, whereas this is beauty in general.

Here we go!

1. Would you rather walk around all day with you skirt tucked in your underwear or be seen wearing a really see through dress? 
If my skirt was tucked into my underwear all day and I didn't know, that would be a horrible embarrassment, but I think I'd realize a dress was see-through before I left the house. In that case, I could easily wear something under it. I'll have to go with the latter.

2. Would you rather go to a party and not realize until the end of the night that you have lipstick on your teeth or that your fake lashes are coming unglued?

I don't wear fake lashes anyway, and I feel like it would be more embarrassing to have them coming unglued than to have lipstick on my teeth. I've gotten it on my teeth once, and a friend was kind enough to tell me. In any case, I feel like lipstick is still considered a classic idea of makeup whereas false lashes are somewhat novel and frowned upon around the people I associate with, so the idea of having false lashes would be more embarrassing in general. Make any sense?

3. Would you rather forget to put mascara on one eye or forget blush on one side of your face?

I'd easily rather forget to put mascara on one eye than blush on one side of my face. I don't actually wear either product, but when I wear mascara at random no one can tell it's on. It wouldn't be nearly as dramatic as blush on one side of my face, because I'm so pale. That would stand out like a water fountain in the Sahara Desert.

4. Would you rather wear lipstick/lipliner combo or frosty blue eyeshadow?

I can confess that I wore frosty blue eyeshadow for my Bat Mitzvah back at age 13, and it didn't look half bad for the [lack of] skill I had at the time. It's funny to think I used to be very into eyeshadow/eye glitter [please don't remind me of that phase]. If the lipstick and lipliner match, I guess I'd choose that, but if it is dark lip liner and lighter lipstick, I'd stick to the frosty shadow.

5. Would you rather wear foundation that is two shades too light or go way overboard on bronzer?

This is a no brainer. Definitely foundation that's two shades too light. I don't actually think foundation exists that's two shades lighter than my skin. Easy answer.

6. Would you rather drink an entire bottle of ketchup or run into the guy who broke your heart on a bad hair day when your skin is freaking out?

I have a very sensitive stomach, so I cannot physically drink a bottle of ketchup. Also, if the guy broke my heart, than he doesn't deserve to see me looking my best, and I'll eventually have to get over him. 

7. Would you rather be able to date any celeb you wanted or wake up with perfect red carpet-worthy hair?

We all know many celebrity relationships last approximately five minutes in real world time, and I'd much rather have perfect hair every day. I do like my hair, but it is quite far from red carpet-worthy or perfect. It would make me feel so glamorous to have perfect hair.

8. Would you rather your armpits smell musky or like delicious lasagna?

Both options are equally revolting, but I guess lasagna is a good smell, so people would think I ate it all the time and started smelling like it. If I absolutely have to pick, lasagna it is.

9. Would you rather give up your makeup or cell phone for one year?

This is tough. I mean, I rarely actually pick up my phone, but I use it a lot when I'm at school. Sometimes, though, I'd rather go without it. Makeup is just too much fun. For practicality, I suppose I'd go without makeup, but in all honesty I'd rather go without my cell phone. I can borrow someone else's.

10. Would you rather run into a cute guy you like with food all in your grill or no makeup at all?

I'd definitely rather have no makeup on at all, because I don't mind going without it every once in a while. Food all in my grill is just embarrassing.

I hope you enjoyed this tag, and please feel free to do it if you'd like! I love reading them.

Would You Rather: Makeup

Hello lovely readers!

To solve the dilemma of a strong desire to blog and very little time to do so, I've decided to take on the challenge of a tag that was going around on YouTube and blogs since at least last summer. This is the Would You Rather Makeup tag.

Here goes:
1. Would you rather go out with messy hair and nice make-up, or nice hair and no make-up?  

I don't really wear a full face of makeup, but I can't live without at least concealer. My hair has been messy loads of times, as you may have seen in pictures in my other posts, but I feel if my skin looks good and I've got lip color on, I can just throw my hair back. So messy hair and nice make-up it is.

Would you rather shave your eyebrows or have your eyelashes fall out?                                   

This is a very difficult and rather strange question. I guess if my eyelashes fell out, I could use false lashes [much as I am averse to them] until they grew back, whereas eyebrows are really hard to make real-looking without any actual hair there.                                             

Would you rather be forced to shop at only MAC or Sephora for the rest of your life?

I actually don't shop at either. Shock! Horror! I've been curious to try MAC, and maybe someday I will, but I'd choose Sephora because it has a variety of brands and products. Personally, I prefer Ulta because it's like a less expensive Sephora

Would you rather wear lipgloss/lipliner look or 80's perm?

My hair is curly and has a lot of natural volume as it is, but 80's perms terrify me. I guess I'd have to choose lipgloss/lipliner, horrifying as that is. 

Would you rather leave the house with an obvious foundation line or overdone blush?

Another tough one. I don't actually wear either. The most I ever wear besides concealer is powder, but I think overdone blush would be my choice simply because I'm so pale and have some redness in my cheeks anyway. Obvious foundation line would be truly awful.

Would you rather wear MC Hammer pants or biker shorts in public?

To be quite clear, I would never wear either of these in public. For the sake of this tag, however, I'll say MC Hammer pants because I've always been quite self-conscious of my thighs and would never go about in skin tight pants. I personally don't understand the whole leggings as pants trend.

Would you rather have a bad orange-y spray tan or really weird tan lines that can't be covered?

When I tan it's so unnoticeable that I actually would find weird tan lines amusing because it would mean I could actually get noticeably tan. I've also had weird tan lines on my feet, and a watch tan so I've already experienced that. A bad orange-y spray tan would be so embarrassingly and glaringly obvious that I'd look like one of Willy Wonka's new Oompa Loompas. Weird tan lines for me, thanks!

Would you rather have a bad haircut or bad hair color?

I've had so many bad haircuts in my life that I've sort of gotten used to the pain of it. I guess I'd rather have a bad cut because it would just grow back [as it has time and time and time again]. Bad hair color would mean re-dying and more damage.

Would you rather have youtube or twitter taken away forever?

I don't have a Twitter, and my YouTube account is purely for subscriptions. I'd definitely prefer Twitter being taken away because I honestly think the way that some people use it is a bit ridiculous. I understand how it's useful to communicate quickly, but personally I don't think everything I do at every second of my life is so important that it must be documented. I also don't follow anyone's twitter.

Would you rather give up using makeup brushes or mascara?

I don't use mascara, so I guess I could live without that. Alarming, I know. But the few times I've worn it for performances, no one's been able to tell I'm wearing it. Maybe it was the mascara I was using, but I've lived until now without it, so I think I'll be fine.

That is the tag. Anyone who wants to do this and hasn't yet is welcome to. I'd love to see it!

I've also written a skincare tips post, but I haven't put it up yet because it is so unbelievably long and picture-less that I might split it in two. I have to figure out how to organize that.

Thanks for reading!
