#26 ~ 30 Day Challenge

#26 ~ Things you like and dislike about yourself.

I dislike the fact that for a long time I didn't stand up for myself and say 'This is what I want. This is important to me'.  I never considered myself a people-pleaser but found that I was easily discouraged in past relationships.

I made the decision that this was my life and I am the only one going through it.  When it ends. the only personal I have to answer to, is myself, about my own actions.

It's empowering to say, "No".

TAG I'm it!!

I was tagged by Stephanie at The New Beauty Review, along with 10 other Beauties on 3.7.12 and since I love to answer tags..... Here are my answers!!

What does the word "Beauty" mean to you?

To me, beauty means confidence.

Makeup takes that beauty to the next level. 

What are your favorite makeup & skincare products?

Skincare

I have used the Clinique 3-Step since I was 15.  Let's see... 22 years.

That's about how old I look, so something is working right!

I vote for a combo of good genes and consistency.

In order, I use Liquid Soap, All About Eyes, Clarifying Lotion, Pore Refining Serum and Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel (AM) / TurnAround Cream Moisture (PM).

As I have been running out of my Clinique, I have been slowly replacing things with my Indie Lee purchase.  I am currently using The Cleanser and The Eye Balm.

My ModCloth Stylish Surprise

I love these start shots, don't you?!

Repurposing my Beauty Army Kit

I wanted to inspire.  This Kit is so awesome, I didn't want to put it in the recycle bin, I wanted show possibilities.  I have been looking for an acrylic nail polish holder for several weeks and I just can't find anything that I like.  Then last week, out of the blue I received a catalogue to The Container Store and was hoping to find a polish holder but instead I came across an acrylic lipstick holder.  Intrigued, I compared the measurement of the holder to the Kit and was SHOCKED to discover it is almost the same exact size.  The very next day I ran over to my local store, Kit in hand and purchased the holder.  It was only $7 and holds 24 tubes.

#25 ~ 30 Day Challenge

#25 ~ Something you're currently worrying about.

I am worried that I will not have enough makeup for the Princess Project goodies bags.  It actually keeps me awake at nights; the thought of letting those girls down.  With so many people asking for donations, how do we stand a chance, how do we set ourselves apart and show why your samples should come out way?  Well, I guess if it were easy, everyone could get free makeup.
