Hallo meine Lieben,
I hope you are all doing great and you are enjoying fall! Here in my part of Germany it is cold and windy and rainy. Not my kind of fall.
My kind of fall.
I have seen this post on my friend Martha's blog and I thought it would be fun to join in. I like reading things like this on my friend's blogs so maybe you will enjoy this too. I will definitely enjoy filling it out.
I do love beauty products, as long as they are cruelty free. Just to make that clear, I am definitely not a beauty expert, nor will I ever be a beauty blogger but I do enjoy discovering new products.
Face
Blush or bronzer? Blush. I use it pretty much daily but I never use bronzer. I don't even know how to properly use bronzer. I am pale and I like it.
Lip gloss or lip stick? Lipstick because most glosses are kind of sticky and I hate that. I do have some lip glosses but I rarely use them. Not that I use lipstick on a regular basis...
Eyeliner or mascara? I do like to use both of them. If I would have to choose then I would probably go with the mascara, don't ask me why. I usually use black mascara but my eyeliners are mostly brown by the way.
Foundation or concealer? Probably foundation. Although my skin looks a lot better since I went vegan (true story). I still use foundation pretty much every day but a light one. I don't want it to look like a masque. Concealer can be pretty helpful though. I tend to not sleep enough.
Neutral or colored eye shadow? Definitely neutral. I mostly wear brown eye shadow. I do have an eye shadow palette with some bright colors but I have to admit that I mostly bought it because it looks so pretty. Not because I planned on wearing it all the time...Stupid I know. I have that thing for years and have used it twice. Just to see how it looks. Not because I wanted to leave the house like that. It does not make any sense but it makes me happy to look at the palette. I am rambling, sorry.
Pressed or loose eye shadow? Pressed. I am way too clumsy to handle loose eye shadow.
Brushes or sponges? I have such a pink sponge to apply my foundation and I like that thing a lot. But I also like my (vegan) foundation brush.
Nails
OPI or China Glaze? I don't use any of them. OPI isn't cruelty free. I don't know about China Glaze but I don't own any of these. My favorite nail polish brands are Butter London and OCC but I also love the vegan nail polishes from the German drugstore brand P2.
Long or short? Short nails. I can't handle long nails plus I don't really like the way they look.
Acrylic or natural? Natural. I don't want to have fake nails.
Bright or dark? Dark or nude. I do like red nail polish though.
Flowers (or other designs) or no? No design, please.
Body
Perfume or body splash? Perfume. I do have some body splash which is nice in summer but I would not use that every day.
Lotion or body butter? Both. My skin is so dry and I have a really great vegan body butter which I use on my legs in winter. I do mostly use body lotion though.
Body wash or soap? Depends. I do love my Lush soaps but I use body wash for my daily shower. I do have to say that I am a sucker for soaps. I think it is because of my Grandma's sister who always gave me some fancy soap when I visited her.
Lush or another brand? Lush please. Love that brand. And I love spending hours in that store. I recently got a fabulous hand cream which smells like chocolate and orange...so good. And their body butters are heavenly!
Fashion
Jeans or sweat pants? Jeans. I love jeans. I wear them pretty much every day. I do love do wear my "ugly pants" (that's how David and I call them) in the evening though. It's so comfortable to hang out like that on the couch.
Long or short sleeves? Haha. Long sleeves of course. I am always cold. I rarely wear short sleeves.
Dress or skirt? Dress. As I said, I mostly wear jeans but I do have some cute dresses which I should probably wear more often.
Stripes or plaids? Plaid. Always looks good.
Scarves or hats? Scarves! I guess I have way too many scarves but I am always cold so I need all of them. You can't have too many scarves. I do love hats too but mostly on other people because I look like an idiot wearing them.
Studs or dangling earrings? Studs. I can't handle dangling earrings, they drive me crazy. I don't know why.
Necklace or bracelet? Both. I do love jewelry a lot.
Heels or flats? I rarely wear heels. I do have a couple of high heels but I only wear them on special occasions when I am able to sit most of the time. I like to be comfortable.
Cowboy boots or riding boots? Riding boots I guess.
Forever 21, Charlotte Russe, or Marshalls? I have to admit that I have never heard of Charlotte Russe or Marshalls.
Hair
Curly or straight? Straight. My hair is not made for curls.
Bun or ponytail? Ponytail. My hair is too short for anything else right now. I do love buns though.
Bobby pins or butterfly clips? I guess bobby pins. I rarely use them though. But I never use butterfly clips.
Hairspray or gel? Don't really use any of them. I guess hairspray because I never use gel.
Long or short? Medium. I do love short hair a lot. I kind of miss my short hair cut. I should give it another try some day...
Dark or light? I am blonde but I am still thinking about a darker hair color...
Side swept or full bangs? I love full bangs I just need to get a haircut because my hair is too long right now.
Up or down? Up. Never wear my hair down. It just doesn't look very good on me.
Random
Rain or shine? I love rain showers. Just not for a week straight. So right now I am wishing for some sunshine.
Summer or winter? Hmm, I am always cold but I still love winter because everything is so cozy and nice that time of the year.
Fall or spring? Fall. Best season.
Chocolate or vanilla? Dark chocolate and vanilla pudding, please.
I hope you enjoyed this a bit. I would love to read your answers by the way. So feel free to join in!
Have a lovely rest of the week!
