Day 30 — Your favorite nail polish

Wow, I made to the final day! And with only one slip-up! 30 Days worth of [mostly] Beauty Questions.

Anyway, what's my favorite nail polish? This is so hard for me. Anyone who knows me knows that I have a bit of an obsession with nail polish. Nail polish is the one thing in the store that draws my attention. I think it's because it's so easy to change your polish, and your nails are like an accessory. It totally changes my mood when I look at my nails and see a pretty color. So what's my favorite? For now, I'd have to say one of those muddy taupe colors that usually have a purple undertones. I really love Rimmel Steel Grey, OPI You Don't Know Jacques, ELF Smokey Brown, any of those types of colors. (And I wouldn't dare paint my nails without my trusty CND Stickey Base Coat and Seche Vite Fast Dry Top Coat.) That's one trend that I hopped on about a year ago and never got off. I think these colors look great on everyone.


 
Well, that's the last of these posts, I guess now I'll have time to write more posts, just not every day!
Talk at you soon!

Day 29 — Photo of something that makes you go awww

Ok, so I love babies, and the cutest baby I've seen in a long time is my niece, Mia. She is so cute. A little monster though, she gets into everything, including my lipstick! But she's so adorable you can't be mad.


Ahh, I just love her! She just does her own thing, she couldn't care less what everyone else is doing, unless she's trying to keep from getting into trouble!
One more day!

Day 28 — Your favorite drink

Ok, if they mean "alcoholic drink" then I'd have to say hard cider cider. Woodchuck Draft Cider, ACE Pear Cider, Hornsby's...they're all so good, plus the alcohol content is higher than beer :). It's 200+ calories a bottle so I rarely indulge in it any more but it tastes so incredibly good! I love the different varieties and seasonal flavors they come out with. Also, you can make Snakebites by mixing lager and cider together. Mmmm.

And favorite regular drink is probably Chai Tea. I love Starbucks Tazo Chai in every [nonfat] form, latte, frappucino, cold, hot, plain...just love it. It tastes like the holidays. It's a spiced tea with a lot of flavor. I love it hot or cold and I even make it at home sometimes with Oregon Chai Tea Concentrate. It's so comforting and yummy!


See you tomorrow!

Day 27 — Your favorite skincare product

I'm going to have to go with face wash on this one. I think all of my skincare products are really important but after you wash your face it's like a fresh start. I never put makeup on if I haven't washed my face and I use two different washes to keep it clean.

I use a salicylic acid wash, Biore Ice Cleanser and Clean & Clear Continuous Control. I use each of these every other time I wash my face. The Biore one is good because it makes your skin squeaky clean. The Clean & Clear one is nice because it has benzoyl peroxide in it, which help clears breakouts, but doesn't leave your skin feeling completely clean so I alternate the two.
I love both of these washes for different reasons, but they both do their job. I also use an exfoliator and a mask but I'd have to say my favorite product is my face wash!
Only 3 more posts to go!

Day 26 — An Item from your wishlist

I have a big wishlist...but one item on there that I've wanted for a long time is something that has nothing to do with makeup or beauty. I've always wanted a KitchenAid Stand Mixer. I love to bake, especially around the holidays, and it would be so amazing to have one in my kitchen! I think I want a red one. It would make things so much easier when I'm baking large batches of cookies, so I didn't have to use a low powered hand mixer or my arm. I also love all the different attachments you can buy and all the different things you can do with them!

I hope I get one soon, if not, I'll just have to buy one for myself!


See you tomorrow!

Day 25 — What do you want to get from luux

This one is easy. I don't want anything from Luux. That website isn't very fair, because if people are already famous on YouTube, they'll be famous on Luux, get more points, and be able to "win" more things. I also think that nothing comes for free, so I have a hard time believing you will be able to get an Ipad for free, just for blogging about makeup.

And that's just how I feel about that!

See you tomorrow, 5 more posts to go!

Day 24 — Your favorite food

I'd have to say my favorite food is anything Mexican. My Grandma is Mexican and she makes the best enchiladas. I love any kind of Mexican food, tacos, burritos, tostadas, empanadas, nachos, chimichangas, beans, rice, salsa...I love it all. And of course margaritas and dos equis beer! And just to clarify-not Spanish food...Mexican food! Mmmm, it makes me hungry just thinking about it.


There's a few places around us that have amazing authentic Mexican, and of course homemade is the best but I really think I could eat it everyday and not get bored.
