Behind the Scenes Tag

Behind-the-Scenes-Tag.jpg

Hi guys! I recently found this tag over on Up the Roller Coaster and I found it super informative so I thought I would give it a go! It was intended to be about filming videos but when she wrote her post she adapted the questions to make them about blogging. I’ve done something similar and have adapted the questions to include blogging as that is my primary media but I mention filming as well. I’ve left the questions unaltered at the bottom as well though.

Tag Questions:

1) What camera do you use?

Panasonic Lumix ZS30 – it looks like a simple point and shoot and is simple like one, but the quality of photos it takes wonderful photos and video! I do want to upgrade at some point though, not being able to see myself as I film is a huge challenge!

2) What editing system do you use?

I’m trying to learn Adobe Photoshop for editing my blog photos. I typically don’t alter them much though. For basic edits like cropping I use the Photos program my Mac came with.

3) Do you use artificial or natural lighting?

Natural lighting!

4) What is the top item on your filming wish list?

A new camera and lighting!

5) What is your favourite day in the week to write?

Usually the weekend but I write in bits and pieces throughout the week.

Would You Rather? Beauty Edition

Would-You-Rather-Beauty-Edition.jpg

Hi guys! It has been awhile since I’ve done a tag post so I thought I would search the internet to see what kinds of fun tags I could find… I ended up finding a beauty version of the “Would You Rather?” Tag which looked too fun to pass up! I’m not sure where it originated from, but the source where I found it is right here!

1. Would you rather go out with messy hair and nice make-up or Nice hair and no make-up?

Messy hair and nice make-up… this is probably what I look like almost every day of my life! I’m so challenged when it comes to my hair!

2. Would you rather shave your eyebrows or have your eyelashes fall out?

This is a super tough one…. I guess I could always apply false lashes and have it at least look a bit more natural than having to draw eyebrows on from scratch… so lets say have all my lashes fall out.

3. Would you rather be forced to shop at only MAC or Sephora for the rest of your life?

Sephora, for sure! I would rather have access to many brands instead of just the one! Continue reading

You Make Me Blush Tag

P1010943 (1)

Hi guys! I found this cute tag on the blog Classy on the Run which is very quickly becoming one of my must-reads! You can find her post here!

What blush colour suits you the most?

I tend to wear a lot of peachy blushes! I feel like they add a nice natural glow to my cheeks.

Pressed, cream or loose blush?

Pressed for sure! I don’t have any loose blushes and I tend to favour powders over cream products.

Favourite shimmery blush?

It’s probably a tie between NARS Orgasm and the Too Faced Sweethearts Perfect Flush Blush in Candy Glow.

Favourite matte blush?

This would hands down be the Urban Decay Afterglow Blush in Fetish. It’s such a pretty medium pink-nude. It looks natural, yet looks like you’ve added a little something extra to your cheeks. Continue reading
