My questions from Ashleighthebeautyaddict
One: What is the one makeup product you always ‘need’ to buy, yet you have a thousand different ones in the drawer?
Foundation – I seem to have developed a bit of an addiction for it. I must be my quest for a flawless skin. I promise I will use them all. I tend to swop and change depending on the occasion.
Two: Are you allergic to anything?
I must be, just can’t think of anything right now. Oh! I know I am allergic to unkind people – they bring me out in hives!!!
Three: If I was to quickly look at your profile pic, what would be the one thing I would never ever guess about you?
That I was blond most of my life. The red hair is part of me striving to be fabulous and be strong.
Four: Name the first lipstick shade name that comes to mind!
Blushing ballroom
Five: Okay now join that name with the name of the first street you lived on, that’s your Superhero name! What power do you have and why?
Blushing Ballroom Rosemary – Well obviously this superhero can dance like a dream and forget the cares of her life while dancing. The real superpower I would like to have is to make people feel good about themselves despite what they are dealing with.
Six: What is the one thing you cannot stand to be around? (a certain smell/place/animal/insect?)
I don’t really like the smell of raw meat – a butcher shop makes me feel sick! I was a vegetarian most of my life.
Seven: What beauty product did you cave and buy that totally didn’t work out for you?
Nothing comes to mind, but I know I do know that I have too many handcreams. I seem to buy lots of them, and then never get to use them up.
Eight: Is there a certain product/brand/place you rave about to everyone? It could even be a game or a book!
That’s easy Elizabeth Arden 8-hour cream. It is my go to solution for everything skin. I think friends and family are tired of hearing about it. It is a miracle cream.
Nine: Would you rather throw out your eyeshadow’s, pigments and palettes or your foundations, mascara’s and lipsticks?
It would be my lipsticks. I love them, but forget to apply them throughout the day, so am often bare lipped.
Ten: Is there a word/brand you were told you have been saying wrong the entire time? (I thought Morphe was pronounced Morphe not Morph-ee)
Took me a long time to learn to say lingerie as a child. I think I was in my twenties before I learnt how to pronounce it!
Eleven: Name one person on Instagram or Youtube that you admire.
I haven’t explored Youtube enough yet. My summer project! – so watch this space.
I do love Tedtalks – so inspiring.
