I found this little questionaire being done by a few lovely Youtube gurus (cough cough, Fleur deForce) and I simply couldn't hold back. Read on if you want to hear my answers regarding my summer essentials!
1. Summer lipstick you're loving?
If there's one thing you should know, it is this: lipsticks scare the living hell out of me. Not only is my mouth miniscule but I have teeny tiny lips. There is absolutely no volume to my lips unless I make a terrible duck face, and even then, it's about the size of a "normal" person's mouth. Case in point -- I don't do lipstick.
2. Summer nail polish you're loving?
I'm actually quite obsessed with a nail polish right now from Sinful Colors called Thimbleberry. It's the perfect summer red -- not too orange, not to pink, and just a hint of neon brightness. Another favorite is by the brand Julie (bought at RiteAid) and the color is Santorini. It's quite reminiscent of Essie's Bikini So Teeny and this formula seems to last quite a while.
3. Bikini you're loving this summer?
Speaking of Bikini So Teeny... I actually don't wear bikinis! I am not in any kind of shape, I believe, to be wearing something with such little coverage. I'll stick to my bright pink sweetheart neck one-piece.
4. Favourite summer Frappuccino from Starbucks?
Vanilla bean. Always.
5. Favourite fake tan?
Jergens Natural Glow is something I've been reaching for more and more this summer. After my introduction to my first spray tan, I can't get enough of sporting that summertime glow. I haven't been religiously using it, however, so I can't say I'm seeing much of a result. I will be purchasing the new scent-free formula and I will update you when I'm a bronzed goddess.
6. Favourite summer song?
I've been constantly jamming to songs that were played at one of my best friend's weddings, aka, one of the best nights of my life. Something about the sweat dripping down my face in the California heat while dancing like crazy on the dancefloor floods my brain with the best kinds of endorphins. Here are a few:
Turn Down For What - DJ Snake & Lil Jon
We Found Love - Rihanna
Talk Dirty - Jason Derulo & 2 Chainz
Pompeii - Bastille
7. Favourite summer accessory?
I think my favorite summer accessory would be my crossbody purse. In the summer, you can go lighter and simpler when it comes to purses. I'm perfectly content with just my wallet, lip balm, bobby pins, and oil blotting papers in a cute little crossbody that will match anything.
8. Favourite summer fragrance/perfume?
This is something I'm totally looking to replace (hello, birthday in twenty days!), but lately I've been wearing my old favorite: Coach Poppy. I've also been into Gucci Flora. I'm hoping to get a new summer perfume soon, so I'll update you on that one.
9. Summer book you're loving?
I bought "White Girl Problems" by Babe Walker to read on my flight to California early last month, and I have yet to make it halfway through. It's not that I don't like the book (it's actually hilarious), but I just forget that reading is an option when I'm bored. I shall reunite myself with Babe tonight!
10. What are you most excited to do this summer?
It's not something that I'm doing (thank god), but my sister-in-law is due with her baby mid-August! I'm so happy to finally be an aunt and buy that little princess everything my brother and his wife won't!
