1. Greed: What’s your most inexpensive beauty item? What’s your most expensive beauty item?
My most inexpensive beauty item would probably be my Daiso makeup. Everything in the store is $2.80 and I have several eyeshadow palettes from there. But since my collection has expanded a lot since I purchased them, I don’t ever use them anymore! For most expensive, it’d be my Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder. Living in Australia, makeup is already expensive as is so you can assume that higher end products are even more ridiculous in price! Thankfully, this is a powder that I use everyday but it still has not dented in the slightest so I know it’s great value for money. I paid $59 for it! x_x At least it’s an amazing product! If we’re including tools then it would definitely have to be my Clarisonic Mia 2, it’s a huge investment and considering that the brush heads need replacements once in awhile, it adds up! It’s still one of the best beauty items I have ever purchased though! =)
2. Wrath: What item do you have a love/hate relationship with?
Definitely false eyelashes. I love how they look but I hate applying them (they can get really messy) and I always get worried that they might start to peel off to the point where people will start to look at me funny. =(
3. Gluttony: What brand takes up most of your collection?
I’ll have to go with Too Faced. They have amazing products and I’ve never had any bad experiences with them. The packaging is also just so adorable!
4. Sloth: What product do you neglect the most due to laziness?
Primer! I know that they make a big difference in how your makeup applies and looks but I’m just not bothered to use them, especially face primers.
5. Pride: What product gives you the most confidence?
Definitely BB cream or foundation. I’ve already mentioned that my skin is my biggest insecurity so if I can get it to look nice and even then I’ll be a lot more confident in myself! =) I’m definitely going to look into skin treatments so that I can be a lot more comfortable in my own skin and not feel bad about going into public with absolutely no makeup on.
6. Lust: Which item is at the top of your beauty wishlist?
There are so many things I want to try because of all the blog posts I’ve read and it’s hard to keep track too LOL! Right now I really want to pick up some Bobbi Brown products and I’ve always wanted the Bite Deconstructed Rose Lip Gloss Library but I know that it was limited edition so it’s a bit pricey to purchase now (honestly I just think it looks super pretty hehehe). I would also absolutely love to try the GlamGlow masks and more YSL lip products! (Sorry that was way more than one and I have so many more ><).
7. Envy: Which makeup product looks great on other but not on you?
Nude/pale lips. I’m sure that I just need to find the right shade but I’ve never owned or tried a nude lipstick that I’ve enjoyed. I always feel that I need at least a little bit of colour on my lips so I always go for more natural pinks on a daily basis. Even when I wear heavier eye makeup, I still feel that I look better with a my lips but better shade as opposed to nude.
This is just brilliant! Good job Dorkchops!

Vanessa is beautiful and a perfect purple undertone yet pink nude so it is one of my ultimate favorites. I hope you are able to find a good nude but I know the struggle it is so hard. Hope your Sephora is able to give you lots of samples. I keep asking but end up giving them away since I know I can always ask for more and when a friend asks if I have used them I just give them mine since it was free.

Oh man that really stinks they haven’t opened up shipping, I do all my Sephora shopping mostly online because of all the codes for free samples. Like the one in the post today 3 mini lipsticks all great brands for free! I mean a purchase of $25-$35 is required but that’s fine since that’s how much something costs. I try to avoid going to my local Sephora since the workers are hit or miss, I don’t ask too many questions and just go in to buy but if I see a worker not doing anything I love asking them to make samples and there is never a limit which is super nice. Yeah i know what you mean about buying and not being able to return, that is how MAC is once you buy it and use it you are screwed and have to keep it. So I am sad I have two dupes of the Oxblood lipstick lolol but I don’t mind too much since the unique rubber packaging is super nice 🙂 It is hard to buy offline though because colors all look beautiful online but once on can either look terrible on one’s skintone or be so drying. Ugh I love lipsticks and if I could I would buy them all but have learned only too well that if I am buying online blindly I love Sephora and Nordstrom since they take back anything even used. Wish you had easy access to these stores 😦

I so agree with you on answer #5. Ever since my foundation was withdrawn from the market, I’ve been having a hard time finding that same my confidence I had wearing a foundation with the right color match. I remember a woman once commented on how perfect my skin was. At that time I was wearing this foundation, as I usually did then, and when I told her it was thanks to the foundation, she looked surprised and said she would never have thought I was wearing one. It used to be called Topaz glow, from FF. Now, I’m not sure which one it is. They’ve changed everything about the product: names, codes, packaging, colors … Today, after about a year, I still haven’t found the right color match for me. It has become this difficult because my retail store in Rome, Italy has stopped carrying FF, I now live in Malmö, Sweden and retail stores here don*t carry FF at all. So, I’m left with only one option, to buy online, but the thing is, I never get to try the colors on my skin first. I’ve tried BB, Mac, and some other brand I found at my local pharmacy, but none of them gave my skin that compact, perfect look with a glow FF Topaz did. It also gave me better UV protection, allowed my skin to breathe better and moisturized it. Now, I easily get sunburn. My pores are clogged and I have spots and discoloration from the burns. Mac just sits on my face like dry clay, BB simply enhances my hyper pigmentation, and this weird one I got from the pharmacy gives my face a gray, unpleasant tone.
I just ordered a Cream to Powder from Iman and a foundation from the new FF collection. Fingers crossed. Hopefully, I will find my right match again, some day 🙂
LikeLiked by 1 person
Completely agree with you on that one! If the foundation isn’t the exact same colour, I feel even worse than if I wasn’t wearing any at all! Wow Topaz Glow sounds incredible, it would be amazing to have skin that looked naturally flawless! Shame they’ve changed all the packaging and everything now so you can’t get a hold of it anymore. 😦 I completely agree with shopping for foundations online, you really don’t know how well it’s going to match until you try it on yourself in person. Especially since some of them adjust after a few minutes by oxidising and everyone takes photos in different lightings in their reviews so sometimes it’s hard to find a true representation of the colour! Fingers crossed for the foundation you purchased! 🙂 🙂 I know you will find your perfect foundation match again! Keep searching! ❤ Hopefully you won't have to after you give that one a try though!
