7 Deadly Sins ~ Beauty Tag



Hi all! This beauty tag has been around for quite awhile now, but I thought it would be fun to do! 

1. Greed: What is your most inexpensive beauty product you love?


Elf cream eyeliner? ~ $3
This cream eyeliner is one of my all time (and most used) eye makeup products. It is easy to use (I like to use a small angled brush) and has good staying power. I have been using this for quite awhile and have hardly made a dent in this.

2. What is your most expensive beauty products you love?


Sultra Bombshell Curling Wand & Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation



Sultra bombshell 1 inch curling wand ~ $130

This has got to be my favorite heat tool. I don’t even use traditional curling irons anymore because of this item. This curling wand literally takes 5-15mins (depending how much hair I am curling & how tight of a curl I want) to curl my hair. It heats up really fast and is evenly heated. This is important because you do not want hot spots on your iron. Likewise, I want to mention for hot tools that I suggest (if your budget allows) to buy ceramic made. Pretty much all heating tools now are ceramic but there is a difference in the wear & tear when mentioning price. A cheaper iron typically is coated in ceramic and will wear off during the months & years with use. A more expensive iron will last you a lot longer because it is MADE of ceramic. I am not suggesting you run out and buy a $100+ iron, rather I am giving my opinion on this because this issue happened to me!
Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation ~ $42
This is my “luxury” foundation. I love everything about it…the wear, color (I’m bamboo beige) and how easy it is to blend & work with. It has an expensive price tag, but I think it is worth it. This foundation does everything it says it will and works really well for me especially in the colder months as it is moisturizing. I plan to do a full review on this product very soon!
2. WRATH: What beauty products do you have a love/hate relationship with?

Lipstick
NYX Lipsticks
I really like wearing lipsticks and I really only wear nude/natural shades. As I talked about before in my NYX lipstick post (click HERE to read it), my lips are very dry so sometimes it is a pain with staying power & overall look. Any tips you may have for this issue please let me know!

3. Gluttony: What are your most delicious beauty products?

Lush??

I don’t really have a good answer for this question…I do like Lush products, but haven’t bought them in awhile!

4. Sloth: What beauty product do you neglect due to laziness?

Body Lotion
Origins Ginger Souffle
I thought about this question for awhile and all I could come up with was body lotion. I preach that is it very important to moisturize if you self tan, and I do try my best to put lotion on after each shower. I love the smell of Origins Ginger Body Souffle!! 


However, sometimes I’m lazy and don’t feel like taking the 2 minutes to do it. I am currently looking for a spray moisturizer so I can make the process a lot quicker & easier! Has anyone tried The Body Shop’s Coconut Milk Body Spray?  

5. Pride: What beauty product makes you feel confident?

Foundation or mascara

Both of these make me feel more confident. I really like the way foundation makes your skin look flawless & mascara is a must for me! Even if I don’t have on any other makeup, I will always pop on mascara if I have a minute. I did reviews on my favorite mascaras HERE & one of my favorite foundations L'Oreal True Match HERE

6. Lust: What traits do you find attractive in the opposite sex?

A kind heart, makes me laugh, a nice smile and I like facial hair! All of these things my boyfriend has :)

7. Envy:  What item would you most like to receive as a gift?

Perfume
Kate Walsh Boyfriend
I would say perfume. I don’t typically buy perfume for myself, rather I ask for certain scents for my birthday or Christmas. This past birthday I asked for Kate Walsh’s Boyfriend. This has become my new favorite perfume! If you like woodsy scents then check it out.

  1. Enjoyed reading this! I've only ever seen this tag on YT so it's nice to read one on a blog!
    Isn't it funny how people differ in their likes for makeup. I bought the Laura Mercier foundation and hated it, gave it to my friend and she loved it!

  9. Loved this post! I also am in love with the Silk creme foundation...well worth the cost as it makes my face flawless! As for your dry lips problem, I have the same issue! Try sleeping with a vaseline on your lips or other thick chapstick. In the morning, exfoliate or lightly brush your lips with a toothbrush. Then apply your lipstick! Use moisturizing ones like MAC cremesheens. Let me know if that works for ya!
    You have yourself a new follower!
