This or That Tag

If you've seen my YouTube channel recently, you would have known that I have recently filmed the this or that tag that stilababe09 recently did.  So I thought, why did I pick this over that, or that over this?? Well, here I will tell you!!  What is my favorite this?  OR oh my geessh, my FAVORITE THAT?!?!? I'm sure you are all DYING to know :) So here it is.

MAKEUP

Blush or Bronzer?

BLUSH FOR SURE! 

 Any color, any time, any where, I love it.  THE END. END OF STORY.  Currently I am loving to pieces my Cargo Blush in Amalfi.  If is just the perfect Barbie pink and I just CANT GET ENOUGH.

Lip Gloss or Lipstick?

LIP STAIN :)

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Lovesick.  Enough said.

Eyeliner or Mascara?

MASCARA

Lorac (my do no wrong, absolute favorite makeup brand of the century) makes a wonderful mascara called Lorac Pro.  The wand is massive and curls my lashes so my lazy self can skip the scary contraption we call an eyelash curler.

Foundation or Concealer?

UNDECIDED.

I have yet to find a foundation that will cover my spots well enough to not need concealer or a concealer that can do the job on its own.  Any suggestions??  

Neutral or Colorful Eye Makeup?

NEUTRAL SMOKEY EYE

Again, the Lorac Pro Pallette is my godsend, but I do love me some Naked 2 as well.

Pressed or Loose Shadow?

PRESSED

I spill loose shadow all over God's creation.

Brushes or Sponges?

BRUSHES

Can IMATS NY come any quicker so I can get my hands on some amazing brushes?

NAILS

OPI or China Glaze?

OPI

I don't have a favorite color or anything, but the OPI just has a better formula than the China Glaze.  I love the color selection of the Sephora by OPI line.

Long or Short?

SHORT

I always say I want long nails.  Then they get long and one breaks off and I HAVE to file them all down to the same size.  I am too much of a perfectionist for long nails.  So short it is.

Acrylic or Natural?

GEL

If you know me at all its GEL ALL THE WAY.  looooove it.

Brights or Darks?

BRIGHTS :)

They make me happy.  Current favorite is Love Those Baby Blues by Red Carpet manicure.  BUT I just bought Oh So 90210.  It's a contender for the top position of spring polish.

Flower or No Flower?

NO FLOWER

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE a good accent nail.  Flowers are just not my thing.

BODY

Perfume or Body Splash?

PERFUME

My current fave is Viva La Juicy.  

Lotion or Body Butter?

HMMM...

I just by the whole line in the whatever scent from BBW so I guess both?  I WANT to use body butter because I just like it better, but I always reach for the body lotion because it is just more convenient in the bottle instead of the little jar thing the butter comes in.

Body Wash or Soap?

BODY WASH

Again, I by the whole line at BBW.  Currently I'm loving (and have been loving for a bajillion years) Twilight Woods.

Lush or Other Body Company?

LUSH

If there was one around me I would be there all the time.

FASHION

Jeans or Sweatpants?

JEGGINGS

Best of both worlds, DUH.

Long Sleeve or Short?

LONG SLEEVE

I love that long sleeves can be shortish sleeves just by pushing them up.  I get cold ALL THE TIME.  If it's 70 degrees outside, I'm cold.  

Dresses or Skirts?

DRESSES

I have a full closet just of dresses.  Need I say more?

Stripes or Plaids?

STRIPES

Actually Im much more fond of a floral pattern over boring stripes or plaids.

Flip Flops or Sandals?

SANDALS

They are appropriate for work when flip flops are not, so sandals it is :)

Studs or Dangly earings?

DANGLY

I'm game for anything flashy.

Necklaces or Bracelets?

BOTH

I CAN NOT PICK!! did I fail at this tag?!

Heels or Flats?

HEELS

I will kill my feet in the heels I wear just to be a little taller :)

Cowboy or Riding Boots?

RIDING BOOTS

A little more classic.

Forever 21 or Charloette Russe?

FOREVER 21

LOOOOOOOVE IT.  maybe slightly obsessed.  We don't have one where I live now so I go through withdrawls everyday of my life.

Saks 5th or Nordstrom?

We don't have either, but I guess I will pick NORDSTROM if I have too

HAIR

Curly or Straight?

STRAIGHT

 just because mine is too short to be curly.

Bun or Ponytail?

BUN

Sock bun lover forever.  And Leigh Ann's dirty princess bun of course :)

Bobby Pins or Clips?

BOBBY PINS

You can hide them!

Hairspray or Gel?

HAIRSPRAY

I havent used gel since junior high

Long or Short?

LONG

Ironic isn't it?

Light or Dark?

LIGHT

I tried dark, too much upkeep for a natural blonde

Side Bangs or Full Bangs?

SIDE BANGS

I look 12 with full bangs.

Up or Down?

DOWN

Just a little more put together I think.

RANDOM

Rain or Shine?

SHINE

She's only happy in the sun

Summer or Winter?

SUMMER

Goes along with the always being cold thing

Fall or Spring?

SPRING

Can you smell the flowers?  Can you hear the birds chearp?  Well, then it's spring

Chocolate or Vanilla?

CHOCOLATE

I would kill someone for some really good Red Velvet Cake.

East Coast or West Coast?

WEST COAST

Unless it's NYC, then East Coast.  But generally speaking, Cali it is.

THE END :)

Little ol' me?

So I have been MIA lately! 

I think that I might have gotten myself into a lot when I started this youtube/blogging/fashionista journey.  Don't get me wrong, I love all the new things that I have been doing, I just might have bitten off more than I can chew.  So here I am, picking up the cyber pen and writing the blog again.  

I have realized that I have never really introduced myself to my audience, on here or on youtube.  I must get a 'get to know me' video up soon, Charleston is just so damn gloomy and cloudy in the winter and I am so tired of looking like an orange when I film in the middle of the (what should be sunny) afternoon.  So that just might have to wait until I have a sunny day where I can film one million different videos.  

One good thing about blogging is that you don't have to rely on the weather or the time of day to get yourself out there.  So I suppose that is one less excuse I can use for not blogging.  So here is my introduction of sorts and little random facts about me that I'm sure you probably (don't really) want to know. :)

1.  My name's Katie (you knew that right?)

2.  I am 23 years old but am told that I look (and sound) much younger.

3.  I have three cats, all of whom are named after fashion designers.

This is Louis Vuitton (the large one smushing the little one), and Coco Channel, my little princess.

This is Betsey Johnson, who apparently is camera shy.

4.  I would live off of sugar and desserts if I could be healthy and not the size of a small building.  My favorites are tiramisu and creme brulee.  

5.  If I had to eat the same thing every day for the rest of eternity I would eat Panera's french onion soup in a bread bowl... and of course tiramisu and creme brulee :)

6.  My favorite color is PINK

7. I have a youtube channel.  Check it out: http://youtube.com/katiedoesfashion

8.  I love filming videos and showing everyone things I love and different ways I do makeup.  

9.  More importantly, I love the different things that I can learn and the people that I can interact with because of youtube.

10.  I have a job in retail management.  I like it, but I love this.

11.  I am very creative.  I was once told in high school, from a college professor, that I was so good at math that I was stupid if I did not major in it in college.  I then proceeded to get 115% in his class (I graduated early and took college courses) and never took another math class again.  I guess I'm stupid, but I really feel like every bone in my body is a creative one.

12. I have a fashion merchandising degree from Indiana University. 

13.  I have a boyfriend named Ken.  He's great (smitten face)

14.  I am a self diagnosed shopping addict.  I really should stop but it's hard when everything is just so damn cute.

15.  I would and could talk to anyone and make small talk with anyone if they wanted too, but I am just as happy to sit quietly and not talk to a soul.

hmm..  bored yet?  Those are just a few random little facts about me.  Stick around, I'm trying my darnedest to keep up with blogging my love of fashion, beauty... random stuff with you all.

xoxo

Katie
