Tag: Get Your Freak On

Hello gorgeous people on teh internetz!

I was tagged by Katie from Oh To Feel Pretty (and if you don't follow her, you totally should!) to do this tag. This sounded like so much fun so I just had to do it!!

1. What's a nickname only your family calls you? 

Hmmm, I'm not a nickname kind of person, and my name doesn't adjust well to nicknames. The closest thing to a nickname I have is "Nanshii". I am not totally sure why people have the tendency to do that to my name...I guess it sounds cuter? I have no clue! I really am not into nicknames!

2. What's a weird habit of yours? 

Correcting people's English, all the time! I mostly correct people's pronunciation of words. I hate that I do that, but I can't help it. I also hate when people text in incomprehensible text codding. I've always said that if a guy could write/text me in perfect English, I would marry him in a heartbeat! xD

Another weird thing I do is that I always have to look inside my shower curtains to make sure no one is in there...I think I've done that since I was a child!

3. Do you have any weird phobias? 

For sure. My weirdest two are my fear of aliens and of orange peels. I lived in the outskirts of a city growing up, and it was isolated and dark at night. My brothers loved to watch alien documentaries and it scared the crap out of me. I am still super scared of aliens, but fascinated at the same time.

I also hate orange skins so much, they just creep me out because they are all bumpy. I have no problems with lemons or other citrus fruits, just oranges.

4. What's a song you secretly love to blast and belt out when you're alone? 

'The Beast and the Harlot' by Avenged Sevenfold. I have listened to this song every single day since I was in middle school. I just love the badassery that is this song.

5. What's one of your biggest pet peeves? 

When someone pretends to be "geeky/nerdy" because it suddenly becomes "cool" to be into video games/ anime/etc. 

Also when people try to use fancy vocabulary but they don't even know the meaning of the words they are using. Either look it up on the dictionary or just use words you actually know. 

6. What's one of your nervous habits? 

 I move my feet or tap my feet against the floor. I hate doing this, it really annoys me. But I always catch myself doing it when I am really nervous.

7. What side of the bed do you sleep on?

The all over side? xD 

I move around a lot, haha.

8. What was your first stuffed animal and it's name? 

I honestly don't remember. I had a bunch of stuffed animals growing up, but I was not very attached to them. The only stuffed animal I actually remember was a Winnie the Pooh bear that I got when I went to the hospital. I was about 4 years old and I almost died of dehydration (I'm still not sure how the hell that happened), and I got the Winnie the Pooh stuffed animal after my stay at the hospital. It was just called Winnie the Pooh, how original!

 
9. What's the drink you always order at starbucks? 

I don't really go to Starbucks, but if I do I tend to order a White Chocolate Mocha. It is really good!

10. What's a beauty rule you preach, but never actually practice? 

 To eat healthy and drink a lot of water. I try to, but I can never stick to it!

11. Which way do you face in the shower? 

Away from the water mostly.

12. Do you have any 'weird' body 'skills'? 

Not that I'm aware of O_o"

13. What's your favorite comfort food that's 'bad' but you love to eat it anyways? 

Chips, for sure. It doesn't seem like a comfort food, but it is for me. I think I have associated chips with hanging out and having a good time with my friends because we always have chips at parties and sleepovers. When I eat chips, they make me think of how good I feel when I am with my friends. Wow, that is super weird!

 14. What's a phrase or exclamation you always say? 

That's tough. I don't really pay attention to what I say. But I think I say "Oh, shit" a lot xD I tend to curse a lot when I'm surprised or when I'm playing video games, and I think "oh, shit" takes the cake!

15. Time to sleep, what are you actually wearing? 

Tank top or a band tee with shorts or pajama pants. It depends on how hot or how cold it is.  

16. What did you used to wear that you thought was cool but now you realize it wasn't that hot?

Ah, I'm thinking back to my middle school and high schools days. I was completely emo  when I was in high school. I wore like a bazillion bracelets and necklaces that I thought looked super awesome, but I think it made me look like a douche. When I was in middle school everyone used to roll up their pant legs up and tucked them in to make them shorter. I'm not sure what was up with that but I did it too for a little while. Then I realized that it was totally lame and completely pointless ;D

Music Tag

Greetings from the Dark Side~ 

Katie from Oh To Feel Pretty posted the Music Tag a few days ago and tagged me. I absolutely love music and it is such a huge part of my life so I am really excited to do this ♥

Confessions of a Beauty Blogger

Greetings from the Dark Side!

Instead of doing a review or eye look today, I thought I would a tag that I have been wanting to do for a while now. I have not posted a tag in AGES, so why not? I am really tired from studying for my final exams as well so it is a nice change to write a more casual post.

The tag I want to do is the Confessions of a Beauty Blogger tag, which I saw on Wonderland Beauty. Aly's post was so lovely and I learned so much more about her from the post. It is such a great way for readers to learn more about the blogs they read! As I was thinking about the questions, it also made me nostalgic and I came to realize that I've been writing this blog for some time now 

(2 years+)! I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it :)

Desert Island Lips Tag

I was tagged by the lovely Vonnie of Socialite Dreams~ Thanks girl!

The point of this tag? If you could only keep one lip product, which one would you choose?

Here is the scenerio:

You are going to be cast away on a deserted island, but you must maintain your fabulousness. The trick is, it can only be a lip product. What ONE lip colour could you happily live with for the rest of your days? This isn’t about your favourite or what’s haute at the moment. It should be something that doesn’t require lip liner or mixing with some other colour to make it look good. This should be a colour that you don’t have to think twice about because you know it will never fail to make you look flirty, bold or seductive every time you wear it. What would it be?

The Rules

1. Choose your  Desert Island Lip colour (lipstick, stain, lip pencil, OR gloss). Only one, please
2. Tell us why you’ve picked it (what makes it special, timeless, or the bomb)
3. Post a photo of yourself wearing the lipstick . The photo should be your full face
4. *You may only use these other types of products in your photo:
   1. Foundation/concealer/powder
   2. Groomed brows
   3. Mascara
   4. Desert Island Lip product
   5. Tag 3 other beauty bloggers

*No paintpots, eyeshadows, eyeliner, blush, contour, highlighters or additional lip liners.

My Desert Island Lip Product is... Tokidoki Gelato Lip Balm in 'Skeletrina'

 I love Skeletrina because:
~It is a stain, so the color lasts all day long
~It is really moisturizing
~A lip stain, lip balm, and gloss all in one
~The color is bold and fun~

*Besides Skeletrina, I have on the Skin79 Oriental BB Cream. That's it.

And I love all you guys, so of course I tag anyone else who wants to do it :D

The Lipstick Tag

I saw this tag on BeautySpot, and it looked fun to do. I love lipsticks, my second obsession next to blush.

1. When you were a child, did you use your mother's lipsticks?
~I do not recall using her lipsticks, but there is a picture of me putting on red lipstick. I looked like a clown! I put the lipstick all around my entire mouth. I was also wearing mascara, although I had it smeared all over my cheeks, so I guess I didn't know what mascara was used for xD

2. How old were you when you bought your first lipstick?
~17. I used to hate lipsticks, and the very first lipstick I ever purchased was the MAC Hello Kitty lipsticks. This was my first MAC purchase, as well as my first lipsticks. I only bought them because it was HK! But I ended up loving them, and the rest is history. (I now own about 50 lipsticks  D:)

3. Pink or red lipstick?
~Pink, for sure. I adore red lipsticks, but I think pink suits me better.

4. The most expensive lipstick you have ever bought?
~My most expensive lipsticks are Tom Ford [$42] and Guerlain [$46]. I don't own many high end lipsticks, so these are like my most valued lippies. Especially my TF ones, I love those!

5. And the cheapest?
~Hmm, probably my Wet N Wild ones. I think I got them for $0.99, but they are amazing quality!


6. What's the most bizarre thing you have ever done with a lipstick?
~I was bored and painted my friend's nails with it. Yeah...it didn't really work out. 

7. If you had to recommend a lipstick, which brand would you recommend and why?
~Well this is a rather difficult question but I will break it down into three parts:
*Drugstore: If you only buy drugstore make up, I recommed Revlon lipsticks. They are fabulous and affordable. Revlon has a lot of different colors as well as finishes. 
*Department Store: If you like to spend a bit more money on make up, I recommend MAC lipsticks. They are still not too expensive, there are so many colors, finishes, and MAC comes out with a lot of unique colors. The plus side to MAC lipsticks is that you can Back 2 MAC and get a free lipstick:D Also, the lipsticks smell really nice!
*High End: My favorite high end lipsticks are Chanel Rouge Coco. These are amazing, but expensive. 


My absolutely favorite brand for lipsticks would be MAC though. More affordable than Chanel, but great quality.




I tag anyone who wants to do this :)  Thanks for tuning in~~

Tag: Would you rather...

Just a quick tag that I saw on Angela's blog. I have seen this tag numerous times on Youtube, so I thought it would be fun to do ^_^

Would you rather...

Go out with messy hair and nice make-up or nice hair and messy make-up?

I am going to go for messy hair and nice makeup. I don't really like the look of neat hair on me, so I tend to do messy buns and very messy, wind swept hair. I think messy makeup tends to be more noticeable as well.

Shave your eyebrows or have your eyelashes fall out?

Well, this is a questionable question [haha does that even make sense?]! I guess eyebrows grow kind of fast. Although, I would be stuck looking like a chola until my eyebrows grew back ...But no eyelashes? I would look freaky..but then there is fake eyelashes...Okay so eyebrows it is.

 

 

Forced to shop at only MAC or Sephora for the rest of your life?

Sephora for sure. I love MAC, but their recent collections have been very boring. Besides Sephora offers a variety of brands, colors, and prices.

Wear the lipgloss & lip liner look or 80's perm?

I guess the lipliner and lipgloss look. You can actually do this without making you look like a chola, plus you could take it off whenever you want. But 80's perm is...well, permanent. And I am not liking the 80's perm. No siree Bob. [Omg does anyone say that anymore??]

Leave the house with obvious foundation line or over-done blush?

Bluuuush. I love blush, and blush is pretty easy to blend out. Foundation lines are harder to cover. I feel that because the foundation dries and it is harder to make it blend in.

MC Hammer pants or biker shorts in public? 
Biker shorts. Definitely. Especially because I live in the city with the most bikes per capita, so biker shorts are super duper common. Like I will see tons of people wearing biker shorts,all the f'ing time.

Bad orange-y spray tan or weird tan lines that cannot be covered?

This is really hard [that's what she said...hehe]. I hate spray on tans and I hate tan lines. This is probably the most difficult question. And actually I don't tan at all, so I don't really get tan lines. I guess the spray on tan. They look horrible but they are easier to remove.

Bad haircut or bad hair colour?

Hair color~ Bad hair cuts really suck. I have been so traumatized by bad hair cuts, and hair takes a while to grow back.

YouTube or Twitter taken away forever?

I am going to say twitter. I love watching videos on Youtube! So much fun.

Give up using make-up brushes or mascara?
How horrible! I love my brushes and my mascara! Hmmmmmmmmm..let me think about this one. I'm thinking, I'm thinking, I'm thinking,I'm thinking, I'm thinking, I'm thinking,I'm thinking, I'm thinking, I'm thinking,I'm thinking, I'm thinking, I'm thinking,I'm thinking, I'm thinking, I'm thinking,I'm thinking, I'm thinking, I'm thinking,I'm thinking, I'm thinking, I'm thinking,I'm thinking, I'm thinking, I'm thinking,I'm thinking, I'm thinking, I'm thinking,I'm thinking, I'm thinking, I'm thinking,I'm thinking, I'm thinking, I'm thinking,I'm thinking, I'm thinking, I'm thinking,I'm thinking, I'm thinking, I'm thinking,I'm thinking, I'm thinking, I'm thinking,I'm thinking, I'm thinking, I'm thinking,I'm thinking, I'm thinking, I'm thinking....for eternity!Yeah, this is not a good question.

Please do this tag if you are interested! They are so much fun to write~
