Hey ladies! Tonight I have a tag for you. I have a couple tag posts I need to catch up on so expect another one soon! I was tagged to do this by MissBeautyInsider. Go check her blog out its wonderful! And thank you for tagging me girl! I have done this tag once before, but they're always fun to do again!
Browsing my youtube subscriptions the other day I came across the wonderful CarahAmelies new video called My Ideal Palette Tag! I thought it was such a fun idea. Basically you pick 2 highlight colors, 2 lid colors, 2 crease colors, 2 outer corner colors 2 bonus colors and palette packaging, that would form your ideal palette. I knew I wanted to do a post about this but I made mine slightly different. I just basically picked some of my favorite neutrals that I'd love to have in one palette. I picked 7, which bugs me now because why didn't I just pick 8..Oh well. I plan to do a follow up post of my ideal colorful palette, because we all know I love color. ALSO, all of these shadows but one are from Urban Decay. Mostly because the majority of my neutral eyeshadows are from Urban Decay palettes and their eyeshadows are the best I've ever tried. Anyway this is a huge intro lets just get to the business.
Hello everyone! Tonight I wanted to show you what's in my purse! I just cleaned out my bag yesterday and switched to this one. If I would have done this post 2 days ago it would have been all garbage. Seriously my purse was getting out of hand! I can't handle that and usually keep my bags pretty clean. So if you want to see what I carry with me click below!
Hi everyone! Happy Friday! I was nominated by two wonderful ladies for the Sunshine Award and the Liebster Award. I was nominated for the Sunshine award by Ambi of Ambi Fashion and the Liebster Award by Kim of PeachyPowderPuff. Both those ladies have awesome blogs and you should definitely go follow them. Thank you girls so much for nominating me <3 :)I'm going to combine the 2, because they both have similar rules. I've answer both the ladies questions and create my own for you at the end! For the Sunshine Award, you are suppose to list 11 facts about yourself, so I'll start with that! Click below to read my answers!
Hey there! Today Ive been nominated for the Liebster Award by the beautiful Rachel. Thank you for this nomination girl! Go check out her blog, it's lovely!This is an award designed to give bloggers with under 200 followers some exposure for their hard work in creating and writing blog posts. So basically you answer the questions given by the blogger who nominated you, then you create your own questions and tag some deserving bloggers. This is my 3rd time. Wing nominated:)
1.Why did you start your blog?
I've always wanted to blog or makeup youtube videos. I finally decided to start blogging because I had the reassures to do it and sone extra time. I loved to read beauty blogs and always wanted to have my own :)
2. What's your dream career and why?
My dream is to one day be involved in creating a makeup line.
3. What's your favourite season and why?
Fall! I love this time of year so much, I'm a very festive person.
4. Christmas or Halloween?
Both! Halloween-Christmas time is my absolute favorite time of year.
5. If you could choose to be a celebrity for a day, who would it be?
Ville Valo, he's the singer from my favorite band. I know I'd want to be a guy just to see how it is. Also he is Finnish so I'd probably get to be in a beautiful Scandinavian country. It would just be a completely different life!
6. What's your favourite winter drink?
Chai Tea Latte.
7. Who's your biggest inspiration and why?
I don't think I have a single person, I get inspired by many different things. Just the general beauty of the world is my inspiration.
8. Would you prefer to stay in with a good book, or a movie?
Movie!
9. Where's the one place you'd love to visit?
Finland! Or Hawaii, my boyfriends sister lives there. We're hoping to go there next year, we will see.
10. What's your favourite animal?
Koala or Panda Bear!
11. If you could have one superpower, what would it be and why?
Oh gosh I don't know, I don't want to fly. I wouldn't want to know what people are thinking OR be invisible. I guess maybe being able to move/ do things with my mind.. Is that a superpower or a witch power!? Haha.
Great questions Rachel :)
My questions..!
1. If you could only use one foundation, mascara and eyeliner for the rest of your life which would it be?
2. What would you tell your younger self about makeup?
3. Do you plan to dress up for Halloween?

5. Tablet or Laptop?

7. Any tattoos or piercings?
8. Do you prefer bold lip or bold eye?
9. What's your biggest flaw?
10. What's one "beauty rule" you preach but don't practice?
11. A quote you live by.
I want to tag anyone who wants to do this! Thanks again to Rachel for tagging me.
Hi there :) today I wanted to show you my most used makeup brushes, but there was a little snafu and I forgot my camera at home so I decided to do a tag instead! I found this one from one of my favorite youtubers blogs MakeupbyAlli.com
1. What is your favorite drugstore makeup brand overall?
I'd have to go with L'Oreal or NYX.
2. What are your favorite face, cheek and lip products?
For face: L'Oreal True Match Foundation, Rimmel Stay Matte Powder, ELF Maximum Coverage Concealer. For Cheeks: NYC Sun n Brozner, Milani Baked Blushes, and ELF highlighters. And Lip: Wet n Wild lipsticks especially from the Fergie Collection. I love Baby Lips, Revlon Lipsticks, Maybelline Color Whispers. My favorite Lipliner is Toast from Maybelline. I'm going to include eyes in this also: L'Oreal Telescopic Shocking Extensions Mascara, Rimmel Soft Kohl liners, Wet n Wild Mega Liner, L'Oreal Infallible Shadows. Maybelline Define A Brow Maybelline Clear Mascara.
3. Least favorite product?
I tried the Wet n Wild eye makeup remover and it burned my eyes SO bad.
4. What is the best makeup bargain?
I'd say NYC, Wet n Wild and ELF. All those brands have some really great products and are very affordable!
5. What is your favorite underdog product? (Something you love that often gets overlooked?)
My current favorite Bronzer is NYC Sun n Bronze in Montauk Bronze. I'd seen it a lot but never purchased it and can't believe that gem was hiding on me. I just love it. Everyone go try it!
6. A drugstore product that is overpriced?
Some foundations, I actually saw one at CVS for TWENTY dollars and I couldn't believe it. I know CVS tends to be a bit more expensive but still. I've seen a few eyeliners and mascaras too for around 11-13 dollars and I think that's crazy for drugstore.
7. Show your best drugstore dupe(s)!!
So this is more of just a color dupe, but the Fergie for Wet n Wild Lipstick in Pentouse Sweet is the exact same color as Kat Von D Everlasting Love Liquid Lipstick in Backstage Bambi. The KVD Liquid Lipstick is a completely different formula with incredible staying power and Penthouse Sweet is just a regular lipstick. BUT when I want a hot pink lipstick but don't want to waste my precious Kat Von D, I use the Wet n wild
Pentouse Sweet is left picture, middle swatch. Backstage Bambi on right.
8. Drugstore product that isn't worth the hype?
Im not a fan of Covergirl Lashblast, I know a lot of people like that. The brush is just too big for my eyeballs. I also didn't enjoy Revlon Soft Nude lipstick, it looked bad on me :(
This was a fun tag to do :) I love drugstore products and as you can see I've found a lot of favorites! I'm tagging anyone who wants to do this! Tomorrow I'll be back with a makeup brush post, so stay tuned for that! I hoped you liked this tag, and maybe try out some of the products I mentioned :) ps. Follow me on twitter @neenersmakeup I've been tweeting a lot more!
Thanks for reading!!

Hello friends! I've been MIA from my blog for a few days, I've been vacationing with my boyfriend in Northern Michigan at his cabin, it is seriously so beautiful up there. But I am back home and ready to blog! I was tagged for the Versatile Blog Award by the beautiful Pilar from Beauty and More :) I wanted to thank her for this, she always has great posts and the nicest comments, if you haven't checked out her blog please do!

-Post 7 interesting things about yourself.
1. I can turn any song into a song about my dog, Gemma. I just love her so!
2. I currently have a drawer with makeup packaging in it. Like if something comes in a box, I keep the box. Idk why, it's garbage! But I do it.. I have blushe boxes, foundation boxes, concealer boxes. I'm a weirdy.
3. I own more body lotion than I will ever use in my entire life. I had a love affair with bath and body works hardcore last year, we don't see each other anymore..
4. My boyfriend and I had a snake named Hendrix.
5. I have many knickknacks in my room and they all have special meaning. A few of my favorites are a pink Buddha statue, a cologne bottle of sand from the atlantic ocean, and a silver squirrel nutcracker. You all probably think I'm nuts now!
6. I've recently become obsessed with The Walking Dead.
7. I kayaked forever yesterday and I am so sore!

Thanks again to Pilar for tagging me! I really appreciate it!
So being a new blogger, I thought a great way for you girls to get to know me would be through this tag! I hope you enjoy learning all about me, and I tag all of you reading this to do it!
2. Do you dye it yourself or go to a salon? I dye it myself, maybe once a year. I'm terrible with my color upkeep. I kinda just let it do its natural thing!
3. Do you wear the same style everyday, or do you change it? During the work week it's always in some bun/ponytail. But on the weekends or if I need to look presentable it always changes. I curl it a lot but also like to wear sock buns lately!
