Tag - 7 Deadly Sins Of Beauty

Hey everyone, so I haven't posted in a while so I thought I'd do a tag and the 7 Deadly Sins one is one of my favourites so I thought I'd go ahead and do it. Enjoy!

Greed
What is your most inexpensive beauty item? What is your most expensive?


The most inexpensive product(s) I probably own is ELF's Eyelid Primer's which are £1.50 each, they aren't the best but they do their job for a few hours. The most expensive product I probably own is the Mica Beauty Age Defying Gel which is £79.99, expensive, especially for a brand that's not so well known but this eye gel is seriously worth it.

Wrath
What beauty products do you have a love/hate relationship with? What product has been the hardest to get?


Mascara! I love mascara, and I can't live without it but it is so damn hard for me to find a really good mascara that works for my tiny, thin lashes! I have tried higher end mascaras, drug store mascaras and everything in between, but I have yet to find a holy grail mascara, sigh.

Gluttony
What are your most delicious beauty products?


My Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub, this stuff smells so sugary sweet, mmm. And basically anything from The Body Shop...

Sloth
What beauty product do you neglect, due to laziness?

Toner, I was so lazy I couldn't even be bothered to snap a photo of the few I have in the bathroom, ha! I am just too lazy to use it and I feel it doesn't do anything for me anyway so what's the point? ...

Pride
What beauty product gives you the most self confidence?


Concealer most definitely. I have dark circles and I always have a few blemishes that I always want to cover up, my skin isn't so bad that I need to have a full base, but concealer is one thing I need. If my dark circles are covered and the pesky blemishes then I instantly feel more confident to run out the door, even if I don't wear anything else (make up wise... heh). 

Lust
What attributes do you find most attractive in the opposite sex?


For this answer, see Tom Hiddleston, hah. But in all seriousness, the attributes I find most attractive are good hair, a gorgeous smile, a decent jaw line (awh yeah) and he must be tall ( at least a good few inches taller than me). But I find a wonderful personality is more important than anything, he must be charming, funny, smart and passionate ...  so as I said before, see Tom Hiddleston.


Envy
What items would you most like to receive as a gift? 

I would like to receive items I would not personally get myself such as a perfume but I am very picky with perfumes so the person has to know I want it. I'd also love if someone got me a Chanel bag...or a Celine one... Ha, but seriously I just love anything that comes from the heart, if I know someone has put effort into whatever they give me and they give it to me with whole-heartedness then I appreciate it so much. 

Thank you for reading, I hope you have a good week!

Night Time Routine







I firstly wipe away most of my make up with a Simple Cleansing Wipe, I then brush my teeth and then I go ahead and cleanse my face with the Neutrogena Wave which I recently just got and I really love it, it instantly made my skin feel cleaner and softer after just one use. I then use the Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub and after drying my face I either use a thick cream such as this Nivea one which I am currently using or if my skin is feeling a bit dehydrated I put on Origins Drink-Up Intensive Mask which I got for Christmas, this small tube will last me quite a while though as I only use it once or twice a week and you only need a small amount.

I then apply a small amount of Mica Beauty's Age Defying Eye Gel; I use this as I was told it would help reduce dark bags and circles and after using it for quite a while, I can say it does help but using it everyday does dry out my eye area so I only use it when I feel it necessary. I then apply a bit of L'Occitane's Shea Butter on my cuticles, Nuxe's Reve De Miel Lip Balm on my lips, a bit of Soap and Glory's Heel Genius on le feet, go wash my hands and then apply a generous amount of Garnier's Nourishing Hand Cream.

I then finally light a candle and grab a book if I'm not tired out from doing all of that. Phew. Then it's beddy bye.

Hope everyone is doing well! Just a few more days and I'm off to Scotland, yay!
