-Did you ever have to use Pro-activ? yes, and it wrecked havoc on my skin
MAKE-UP

-What do you think of fake eyelashes? I absolutely LOVE them for nights out!
-Did you know that you are suppose to change your mascara every 3 months? Haha, I wish. I have tonss of mascaras, and it takes me atleast 6 months to get through a tube.
-What brand of mascara do you use? once again, depends on the day. This week I've been loving Benefit's They're Real, Blinc, and Urban Decay Cannonball

-For the face? Laura Mercier Hydrating primer
-What is your favorite eyeshadow (color or shade)? Slightly shimmery taupes, all kinda of purple, and MAC Parisian Skies (from the MAC bloggers obsession collection)
-Do you use pencil or liquid eyeliner? All 3... liquid and creme on my upper lashline, cake and pencil for my water line, and usually shadow for my lower lash line.
-How often do you poke your eyes with an eyeliner pencil? it has been a long time since I did that... although when I use mascaras with the plastic spiky wands it happens sometimes
-What do you think of pigment eyeshadows? I absolutely love them! but don't use them nearly enough as I should.

-Do you buy your makeup on ebay? Only when I really neeed something... like the Bobbi Brown BBU palette that showed up in my mailbox yesterday :)
-Do you like drugstore makeup? I think that drugstores are really stepping up their game these days, the quality of wet and wilds makeup is just outstanding.
-Do you go to CCO's? Yes! but they are so bad for my wallet!
-Did you ever consider taking make-up classes? Yes, I'd love to but they are so expensive; you can learn from YouTube for free

-Do you think you look good even without any makeup on? If my skin is nice, of course!
-In your opinion, what is the BEST makeup line? I think that Guerlain has a very solid line, as does Chanel and Bobbi Brown. I'm liking more subdued makeup as I get older.
-What do you think of Makeup?? It's my passion, what I consider myself talented in, and what I want to do for the rest of my life :)
hope you enjoyed that
