SEVEN DEADLY SINS OF BEAUTY TAG

I was tagged by the lovely Grace Simona to do this.

The rules of the seven deadly sins of beauty tag

1) Follow and link up the person who tagged you
2) Answer the questions on greed, wrath, gluttony, sloth, pride, lust and envy.
3) Tag as many people as you wish! Be sure to let them know!
4) Let the person who tagged you know that you did the tag by linking up in the comments!

                                 Greed- what is your most expensive beauty item?

I went through my whole make up collection, closet, and it has to be my hair dryer. It is from Babyliss ipro 2200 and it is amazing. It dries my hair super quick and I could no live withouth it. I can straight my hair with it too, so that is a plus. I bougt it in my local drugstore and it was around 70 €, $ 90, £ 59.

Wrath- which item do you have a love/hate relationship with?

L'oreal infallible foundation. Sometimes I love the colour and the coverage that it gives me, but sometimes my face is pink and I look terrible.

Gluttony- what brand makes up most of your make-up collection?

I would have to decide between maybelline and essence. Overall it has to be essence. I buy essence because it is super cheap, great quality and I just want their products. It is not my favourite make-up brand.

Sloth- which product do you neglect the most due to laziness?

Eyeshadow. I love bright colour, smokey look, but most of the times it is just eyeliner and mascara for my eye make-up.

Pride- which product gives you the most confidence?

Withouth a doubt it has to be mascara. I always wear mascara, always. I can skip foundation, bronzer, lipstick, but not mascara. It is my must have for every day.

Lust- which item is at the top of your beauty wish list?

YSL Rouge Volupte lipstick #2 Sensual Silk. I love the colour so much, and the consistancy looks so nice. I hope I will be able to try it one day.

Envy- which make up product/look is great on others but not yourself?

Smokey eye. I have really small eyelids and eyes, so I am not able to do a lot of dark colour in my crease. I normally put dark eyeshadow in the outer corner to make my eyes look bigger.
