Beauty is in the Eye of the BeholderWhat Shampoo brand do you use? Creme of Nature
What Conditioner do you use? Right now some Wella-type deep conditioner in a jar. Trying to find the kind used by the Dominicans
Do you use a flat-iron daily? Nope
What styling products do you use? Lock and Curl gel, Parnevu leave in conditioner and some shea butter hair grease. If I had access to CD I would be using her oils, hair milk and hair creme.
Do you prefer your hair to be up or down? On the weekends free as can be. During the week I pull it back tight.
Is your hair long or short? Relatively long. It hasn't been blown out in a while. I am considering cutting it all off though. Salivating over Rihanna's short hair cut that I used to rock yeeeeaaarssss ago.
Do you dye your hair? 'Bout to because I can't pluck out those grays fast enough.
Do you use the same color, or do you experiment with other colors all the time?
N/A
Do you wear make-up? I'll usually slap on some mascara and lip gloss. Just bought some eye shadow and blush to try to perk me up a bit since I've been looking a little tired lately.
What brand of foundation do you wear? MAC.
What brand of Mascara? Great Lash - as always.
Do you wear eyeshadow? When I get a chance to smear some on
What brand? I think it was Covergirl or something from Wal-Mart. Cost $10
What color blush do you wear? I think it is Merlot and it has gold in it.
Lip stick or lip gloss? Lip Gloss. MAC's LipGlass.
If the answer is gloss, what flavor? Dude, I haven't worn flavored lip gloss since I was about 12!
What kind of cleanser do you use? I think it is Basis bar soap and I use it with a scrubber. Best thing my skin has experienced in a long time.
Do you use the Biore pore strips? Sorry.
Are your nails natural or fake? Natural, like me!
Long or short? Short
What color do you normally paint your nails? Clear. If I'm doing something special I will get a french or have them painted a natural color. Rarely will I do reds and never, ever wild colors.
Do you get manicures often? When they start looking too raggedy I go get them done. That is about every 2 to 3 weeks. They could stand to be done weekly though.
What about pedicures? A must have at least once a month. Rarely longer than that because I get scared I might hurt myself with those rough feet.
Do you paint your toenails? Myself? Never.
What is your favorite brand of clothes? Not a brand whore.
Where do you normally shop for clothes? No specific places. I look at different stores to see what catches my eye and fits me well. That could range from Macy's to Wal-Mart and then I mix and match the cheap with the expensive and no one ever knows the difference. Some of my most complimented items are the cheapies.
Do you like to dress up, or are you more casual? I like to dress comfortably so that tends to more on the casual side but I like to dress it up with a nice structured piece like a blazer.
Do you wear a belt with all of your pants? Nah...I'll soon start working towards getting back to a point where I need a belt with my pants :-)
Do you like flared leg pants? Depends on the fit and the occasion.
Do you wear shorts in the summer? Chile, no!
How about tank tops? I've had to cut those off the list too unless I have something covering my upper arms. I wear them as undershirts and camis.
How many pairs of jeans do you own? Not sure because I've been buying them a lot lately. At least a week's worth.
How many pairs of shoes do you have? Not sure. I dress for comfort so I'll often wear the same shoes over and over. Do flip flops and sandals count?
Would you wear a pair of shoes that hurt your feet because they are cute to not wear? Depends on where I am going and if I am getting a ride. Otherwise they will collect dust in the back of the closet.
Are you a flip-flop lover? Lover is too strong a word but when my toes are manicured I love to show them off!
What about stilletos? On other people --yes. For me, no more than 2 inches.
What size shoe do you wear? 9 to 9 and a half. Sometimes a 10 depending on the size
Do you own a lot of dressy shoes? Nah not enough. I actually LOVE dress boots.
Do you own any Mary-Janes? I guess my kitten heels are MJs
What is your favorite accessory? Ummmm, not sure. I always wear a pair of earrings and I try to wear something around my neck when it is exposed.
Do you have a lot of jewelry? Naw...not enough
How many pairs of sunglasses do you own? Right now, just two.
Don’t you just love the big sunglasses? Yes, makes me feel very glamorous.
Do you wear earrings daily? Yup
What about necklaces? Try to
Rings? Rarely if ever. Waiting on that pretty diamond set in white gold. I really wish I could find my mother's mother's ring. It had two emeralds and a ruby. The birthstones of myself, my mom and my brother. It had a lattice setting in yellow gold. I don't know got their hands on it when my mom passed away.
Bracelets? Only when I dress up. I find them annoying most of the time.
How many watches do you own? Just bought a charm bracelet watch but as noted above it annoys me.
Do you wear a watch daily? No...that's what cell phones are for!
How many purses do you have? Not sure. I usually only use one because I don't like looking for missing items that always seem to wind up in the "other" purse.
Do you switch purses often? No
Does your wallet have to match your purse? No. I don't even like wallets
Are your purses the huge ones, or are they smaller? Not a fan of big purses. My mom always carried them and they were sooooo heavy. Plus you have dig for everything you want in a big purse.
Dang, finally done? That was the longest meme ever!
