1. On average, for application of your typical day-to-day work/college makeup, how long do you spend?
I do my make up, my hair and dress up all at the same time every time I go out. I am a bit all over the place, you know?! Usually, to get the result I want it will take me one and half hours, but one hour is enough for me to get ready.
2. On average, for application of your going out/special makeup, how long do you spend?
It's the same as the answer for Q1, it takes me around 1 to 1.5 hours to get ready. No matter what!
3. If you were to be stranded on a desert island, which 4 products would you want with you?
Before I start answering, I just want to let you know that this question has been asked to my friends to test how well they do know me. Most of them said I would bring a suit case full of make up, shoes, and clothes. When I read it, it really sounds shallow actually xD and I guess it's not true, when I know I will get stranded somewhere, maybe I will bring lot and lotsa canned food (with the can opener of course) and bottle water.
But in the case of make up, I will bring with me (I won't bring make up as noone will see me with it anyway!):
- my holy grail product, Biotherm moisturizer
- La roche posay skin toner for sensitive skin
- Tanning oil with sun protector (SPF 25)
- leave in conditioner for my hair
4.What beauty 'must haves' do you always carry in your handbag?
I am obsessed with lips, I never touch up my make up, but I always get very annoyed when I forgot to bring my lips products like lip balm, lip gloss anything. When the product I put in the morning came off, I really feel the urge to put on (I try as much not to let my lips get dried).
5. Which drugstore brand would be your favourite?
I don't have any particular feeling to any of the drug store brand, but most of the time I will end up with Maybelline or Bourjois. Now, I got sucked into buying more and more GOSH, this girl really sell it to me.
6. High Street or High End makeup?
If I have the money, there is no doubt that I will go for the high end brands. But for now, I try to minimize my make up expense; as a consequence, I buy 'important' products such as foundation, concealer, primers from the high end brands and 'not-so important' products like eye shadow, mascara,etc. from high street brands.
Sometimes, high street brands are not that bad either. You just need to experiment a bit.
7. On average, how long does it take you to get dressed/select your outfit?
I always do my make up, hair and choosing my clothes all at the same time, so I cannot tell. It also depends whether I have already planned an outfit the night before or not; it really saves time but I am always too lazy to do that in a regular basis.
8. On average, how long does it take you to get ready for a special occasion/night out?
1 to 1.5 hours.
9. If you could only choose one item of clothing from your wardrobe, ie jeans which would be your favourite?
Without taking the shitty weather here into account, I think I will go with a nice summery dress.
10. What outfit gives you instant feel-good factor?
A cute dress, black opaque tights, shoe-boots (or any killing shoes that match with the rest), with edgy accessories will do!
11. Which shops do you favour?
I love River Island, I also love Urban Outfitter but unfortunately they don't have any branch here and they aren't willing to ship to the Netherlands either. I don't deny that I buy a lot from Zara and Mango, but it's mainly because those are easily accessible and affordable.
12. High Street or High End clothes?
Again, if someday I don't need to worry about money, I will surely go for the high end, even though I am also 100% sure that I can't keep myself away completely from those high-street brands because I just love the idea of spending money on clothes, shoes, belts, etc.
Looking at the runway shows and the products they have to offer, I think I am gonna go with Lanvin, Burberry Prosum, LV and channel as my fave high end designer brands.
