Crack out the cake

I realised earlier this week that it is the 2nd Anniversary of me starting my little bloggie (15/04/10) oh how time has flown by.  It's only until recent that I have felt that my blog has become a success... well in my eyes any how.  I may not have a high amount of followers after 2 years, but it isn't about the numbers for me.

So I thought I'd revisit the past and show you an updated 40 Beauty Questions TAG.  Way back in April 2010 that was my very first post.  I wonder if much has changed?  You can read the first version here. If you wish to do the tag please do and let me know if you do. . .I love a good read.

Twice morning and night

Holy grail Maybelline One by One Volum' Express.  Love it!

American CCO's sound amazing but I have been to the CCO in Bicester Village and I wasn't that impressed.  Would love to go to a US one.

-Did you ever consider taking make-up classes?
I've done two Groupon makeup classes, but I knew most things they spoke about.  I wish I had gone down that creative path as I enjoy makeup so much now.  It's a case of I wish I knew then, what I know now.

-Are you clumsy in putting on makeup?
No, I think I'm good at it.  I'm not bigging myself up there honest!

Not a makeup crime more a self tanning crime, why do people like to be orange???

Both. I like neutral eye colours but a nice colour on the lips or cheek.  Nothing too OTT though.

Make Up For Ever, Rimmel, MAC, Collection 2000, Bobbi Brown shall I go on...?

-What do you think of Makeup?
I think makeup is fun and it can show peoples creativity.  I love it!!!
