I’ve seen this on a few people’s blogs, although I can’t remember which ones exactly. It’s supposed to be a “get to know me better” kind of post, but if I’m honest, all of the questions are extremely superficial. So uh… glean whatever insight you can! 😉

1. Is your hair naturally curly or straight?

Straight way moreso than curly, but it’s not “nice” straight. The top half gets this really weird kink in it if it’s allowed to air dry, and the ends just go kind of pin straight. So it’s just really messy/weird looking if I leave it to dry.

2. Do you dye it yourself or go to a salon?

My hair colour is natural. It bleaches out in the sun throughout the summer. Bright sunshine will make it appear far more vibrant blonde than it does indoors.

3. Do you wear the same style everyday, or do you change it?

I change my hair style pretty often. Braids, ropes, curls, straight… anything goes!

4. Do you do your own mani/pedi or go to a salon?

I have never had a manicure or pedicure done at a salon – it just doesn’t appeal to me to pay money for something I could just do at home!

5. How often do you change your nail polish?

Every week or so.

6. Do you polish your toes in the winter or just the summer?

I keep my toenails covered in glitter polish year round!

7. How long does it take for you to put on makeup?

On workdays I’ll do my makeup from start to finish in about 20-30 minutes. On the weekends, or if I’m going out at night, it’s closer to an hour or an hour and a half. I like actually doing my makeup, so I tend to draw it out as long as possible.

8. What do you do first? Face or eyes?

I have never, EVER understood doing your face first. There isn’t a powder eyeshadow in this world that doesn’t have fall out, so why would you do your face first? So for me, eyes first ALWAYS, then face.

9. Do you collect makeup or just buy what you need when you need it?

I don’t collect it in the sense that I’ll buy it and not touch it, but I certainly own way more than I “need”. But then again I also NEED variety, so to each their own!

10. How often do you wear false eyelashes?

Two to three times a month – only for going out at night if it’s a club night or something.

11. Do you do a full face of makeup everyday?

Depends on the context of “full”. To me, a full face of makeup means I’ll use foundation. I only wear foundation maybe 3 out of the 7 days in any given week so, in my book, I only wear a full face 3 days a week.

12. Do you wear makeup when you’re home alone or with family?

Definitely not when I’m at home. As soon as I get in the door I’m swiping off the makeup as quickly as possible. I love makeup to pieces, but I also love taking it off and feeling fresh again. I’ll wear it around family if we have the intention of going out that day. If we’re just staying at home, there’s absolutely nothing going on my face except moisturizer.

13. Will you leave the house without makeup?

I do pretty often considering I spend a lot of time at the gym, playing a team sport or out for a run. I don’t feel the need to wear makeup, so I don’t if I don’t want to. That being said, I like playing with the stuff, so I’m more likely to put something together if I’m leaving the house for any kind of social gathering.

14. How many high-end products do you have?

Oh jeez, who knows. It’s probably a 50/50 split amongst my makeup stash between high end and drugstore.

15. Do you plan your OOTD every night or decide when you’re getting dressed?

I decide when I’m getting dressed.

16. How often do you change your handbag?

I don’t use one!

17. What time do you wake up and go to sleep?

My bed time ranges from midnight till (at a push) 2 am throughout the entire week. If I’m waking up for work, my alarm is set for 6:45 am, but I usually snooze it constantly for about thirty minutes. If I’m waking up on the weekend, it’s anywhere between 8 am and 10:30 am.

18. How often or when do you workout?

Almost every single day of the week. I play various sports about three times a week and I try to run 3-4 times a week, on top of weightlifting.

19. Left handed or right handed?

Right.

20. How tall are you?

5’3″

21. Do you speak any foreign languages?

French. It was my first language growing up, but over time I’ve become far more comfortable with English than French which is a bit sad.

22. How many pets do you have?

One kitty – Nemo!

23. How often are you on Blogger?

Errr the platform? I have no idea, I don’t pay attention to what platforms people use for their blogs.

24. Do you read comments posted on blogs?

I tend to read comments on Temptalia as there can be a lot of insight on there. And if I know a blogger personally, I’ll read the comments sometimes to see what they have to say to other people.

25. Do you keep a list of products to try as you see other posts?

Yeah, I’ve got a scratchpad of items I want to pick up at some point. Although I feel like I make multiple lists and they end up scattered everywhere.

26. How did you come up with your blog name?

I thought I was being ingenious, but there are a lot of other blogs out there with the same name which is kind of sad to me now.  But it came to me while I was trying to “make up my mind” on a blog name. It was obviously half makeup oriented, but I thought it was funny because it was taking me forever to come up with a blog name!

27. What kind of camera do you use for your photographs?

Nothing good.  A Canon PowerShot ELPH 320 HS and my Samsung Galaxy Gio phone (which can take surprisingly good photos sometimes despite being practically a relic now). I use my phone primarily to take full face shots at work (in the bathroom no less – I feel ridiculous if someone suddenly comes in and I’m busy taking 25 selfies in a row trying to get the right lighting/angle).

28. How often do you clean your house?

Once every two weeks maybe?

29. What’s your favorite color?

Green

30. Do you swear?

A lot. It’s a bit of a problem. I try to cut back sometimes but I often end up reverting back to just casually swearing all the time.

31. What are you doing with the rest of your day?

I just finished a 5K race this evening (spoiler alert: I did really well! The post about that race will be up next Friday.) and it’s about 11:30 PM right now… so the only thing left in my day is preparing this post for tomorrow (Friday) and then watching a pile of YouTube videos!
