Friend Friday: Beauty Products

Katy from ModlyChic has invited me to be a part of Friend Friday.  To read more about what that is, click here. 

So here's my very first Friend Friday post! This week, we're talking about beauty products.  I'm not a huge beauty product person.  I use my main make-up items and that's about it. Without further ado, here are the items for discussion!

1. What are the three products you couldn't live without?

ProActiv, deodorant, eyeliner

2. Which products do you never leave home without?

Hm...this is a hard one because I typically do my make-up at home and then forget about it.  Let's go with lip balm.  I usually have either Burt's Bees or ChapStick in my purse.  I never (okay, rarely) use lipstick or gloss because I can't stand having to reapply all day long, plus I drink a lot of bottled water and the taste on the bottles is ick. So I use lip balm a lot to keep my lips moist.

3. When purchasing what is your one big beauty weakness?

Huh.  There's a good question.  I don't really have one.  I have my basics that I use every day (eyeliner, eyeshadow, mascara), I typically stick with the same brand and shades, so I don't have a big weakness for anything else.  Wow, I sound really boring...

4. Do you have a secret remedy, concoction, family tradition that you use?

Nope.  The only "secret" I have is white eyeliner.  Some Mary Kay chick told me before my wedding that I have "hooded eyes" and need to use a light eyeliner on top.  I decided to go REALLY light and use a white kohl eyeliner just towards the inside of my eyes.  I use my normal purple liquid liner on the outside and bottoms. 

5. When it comes to your face, what area do you usually try to accentuate?

Considering the only make-up I use is eye make-up, I'd say that I try to accentuate my eyes.  :) My skin isn't all that great so I steer clear of foundation, powder, blush (unless I'm going somewhere that I know a lot of pictures will be taken) and we've already discussed my lack of lipstick usage. I don't think my eyes are anything great, so I try to make 'em pretty and leave it at that!

So there you have it!  My very first Friend Friday post!  This was fun.  Because really, who doesn't like answering questions about themselves? I can't wait to see what next week's questions are!

Thanks for inviting me to be a part of Friend Friday, Katy!
