Beauty Tag: 7 Deadly Sins

I heard about these tags from Ingrid Nilsen aka missglamorazzi on youtube and amazing blogger, Frances, and I was thinking why not do the same? So I'm going to answer a bunch of questions based on the 7 deadly sins. 

GREED

What is your most inexpensive beauty item? What is your most expensive? 

My most inexpensive beauty item would be my Essence Kajal Pencil in 08 Teddy. It only costed me a dollar! My most expensive has to be my Revlon Colorstay Foundation (my shade is 310 Warm Golden), it costed me around $28 which is pretty pricey for a college student with a college budget like me!

WRATH

What beauty products do you have love/hate relationship with? What product has been the hardest to get?

I have love/hate relationships with eyeliners an eyeshadows. It's really hard to get winged eyeliner right and symmetrical, while eyeshadows are really hard to mix and match. Like which color is for the crease, across the eyelids and outer corners. Sometimes I usually just mix what I think will look great and turns up looking muddy :( 

GLUTTONY

What your most delicious beauty products? 

I had to say my Body Shop Lip Balm and Catrice Infusion Long Lasting Lip Stain. They taste so so sweet that I can't resist licking.

SLOTH

What beauty product do you neglect, due to laziness?

Without a doubt, lip liners. Especially when I wear bright lipsticks, I am always either lazy or forgetful about applying lip liners and regret it when my lipstick melts.

PRIDE

What beauty product gives you the most self confidence?

Foundation and concealers because without them, my makeup look wouldn't be complete. Unless you have perfect baby skin. 

LUST

What attributes do you find the most attractive in the opposite sex?

Physical wise, I love an 'appropriately' buff man with a gorgeous eyes and smile (dimples is a yes!!). Personality wise, I just want a person who could make me happy and support everything that I do. 

Eye candy! Steven R. McQueen

ENVY

What items would you most like to receive as a gift?

Something I can't afford or isn't available in my country. I really really want the Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Foundation :( I've seen people wear it and they look absolutely flawless.

And that's it! I am tagging all of you to do this, leave me your blog address so I can check it out!

My top 7 YouTube beauty gurus.

I think it's normal for a girl like me to look up to other girls or women to find inspirations and ideas. For makeup and fashion wise, YouTube has been my best friend. YouTube has granted me a LOT of beautiful, gorgeous and aspiring ladies for me to look up to. And today, I will be jotting down my top 7 beauty gurus that I will never ever stop watching their amazing videos. Note that the list are not in order of preference.

1. Tanya Burr 

I am not lying when I say, I literally watched EVERY single videos of Tanya. Tanya is just a very, very talented beauty guru that I learned so much from. Out of all the gurus I listed here, Tanya taught me the most of my makeup skills and knowledge. Apart from that, she is just a very humble person and she always makes me so happy when she uploads new video.

    2.  Pixiwoo sisters (Sam and Nic Chapman)

If you don't already know, the Pixiwoo sisters are the sisters-in-law of Tanya Burr (so much for a coincidence, eh?). They are the most professional makeup artist I know there is on YouTube and they also taught me a lot of things about makeup. My favorites have always been their 60's makeup and Bond Girl series videos. You should definitely check them out. 

   3. Michelle Phan

Who doesn't know Michelle Phan? Seriously. If you don't know who she is, you're missing something BIG in your life. Michelle Phan is probably the first successful beauty guru on YouTube, her skincare tips, makeup tricks and makeup tutorials have helped a lot of women to do makeup. Michelle is yet another guru that has an AMAZING personality, her story of becoming successful on YouTube definitely driven me to reach my own dream and to never stop no matter where you start. 

  4. Wayne Goss

Goss is very honest, which I love the most about him. When giving opinions, he is very genuine and very thorough, I always believed what he said especially when he reviews some beauty products (I almost wanted to buy the Maybelline's Fit Me foundation but when he said it's not good for oily skin, I changed my mind right away.) He is also a professional makeup artist (talking about models here) and yet again, one of the most amazing guru there is.

  5. Ingrid Nilsen 

I want to be Ingrid's best friend, like for reals. She seems like the nicest person ever and I can never say any negative thing about her. Apart from that, her videos are always entertaining and fun. Ingrid, in my opinion, focuses more on fashion and skincare in her channel and they always inspired me to dress for the day and how to take good care of my skin. 

  6. Bethany Mota 

I said I want to be Ingrid's best friend, but with Bethany, I just want to be her sister. Bethany is also one of the gurus that taught me a lot about fashion but she is currently 17 (if I'm not mistaken), so her outfits are sometimes too youthful for me, but her DIYs videos are so useful. I admit that I admire Bethany because of how happy her life is and her cheerful personality always makes me happy. Aside from fashion, she also taught me how important family is and also to have fun. Bethany is just incredible, and I love her. 

  7. Zoe

Zoe never uploaded tutorials in her channel but she always does haul videos which I love. But personally, I love her personality so much that I want to be her sometimes. She occasionally does motivational videos which I am grateful for because she reminds me that she is not perfect, which I love her even more for saying that. 

That's it for my top 7 YouTube beauty gurus! Let me know if these people are your favorites too and if you haven't check them out, please do and subscribe to them, I promise they won't let you down. Let me know if there are broken links.

Cheers, Izzie.
