Tag, You’re it…? Six Quirky Facts!

Posted in: Site News

So Roselyn tagged me to share six quirky facts about myself, and here goes!

  • I love doing jigsaw puzzles, like insanely large ones.  The largest I’ve ever done was 12,000 pieces, and it was of the New York City skyline pre-9/11.  I actually have it framed in three chunks.  Someday I’ll have a house where I have a wall long enough that I can hang it on!
  • You know logic puzzles?  The ones where you have to figure out who did what and when they did it with what vehicle or something like that.  I was so excited to take the LSAT just because you got to practice logic games, LOL.
  • I used to edit ten online magazines when I was age 13 to 18 (yes, seriously, ten!).  They were “zines” that I distributed via email on AOL.  I think the most subscribers I ever had for one individual magazine was around 5,000.
  • I graduated with 300 units from my undergraduate institution, where the minimum amount to graduate was 180, in three years.  (Too bad my GPA wasn’t particularly outstanding, above a 3, but yeah — don’t rush through college!)
  • I’m terribly allergic to rodents (including guinea pigs, which I’ve always loved) and cats, and I’m even a bit allergic to dogs (!).
  • I hate law school with a passion!

Six quirky BEAUTY-related facts…

  • I hate the way upper lash liner looks and feels on me… I swear, it makes my lids feel so heavy and droopy.
  • I’m utterly confounded by the vast amount of ingredients in products, not to mention all of the products available.
  • Beauty blogging has opened up an entire realm of brands, products, and knowledge I never knew before.
  • I am addicted to chapstick, and I prefer all my lip balm to be in stick form.
  • I’ve put vaseline on my lips everyday night since I was five.
  • I am an utter dunce when it comes to applying false eyelashes!  I either will get it done SUPER quick or it’ll take me an hour to get one side done.

I could tag other bloggers, but why can’t I just keep tagging… YOU!  Share six quirky facts about you ;)  Oh, and if you like a challenge, share six quirky BEAUTY-related facts about yourself, too!

My Facts:
1. I think nuts ruin all desserts!
2. I can roll my tongue upside down and into 1, 2, and 3 curls.
3. I can twirl my pen around my thumb forward and backward.
4. I don’t like to travel… at all.
5. You know those pictures that you have to stare “through” to see the picture, and it’s supposed to jump out at you in 3D? Well, I can’t do those. I’ve really tried, and I just can’t.
6. I teach 7th and 8th graders because I really love kids that age, and I loved middle school when I was in it!

Beauty Quirks…
1. I sleep with my makeup on almost every night, and I’ve never had any problems with it.
2. I don’t really use lip liner very often.
3. I’m a hoarder and love collecting things - so I often buy makeup just to have as a part of my collection, but don’t intend on wearing much.
4. I’m a total sucker for LE stuff.
5. I don’t set money limits when I buy make-up. And if I like two things, I always get both. :-)
6. I always carry at least 5-10 different lip glosses and lipsticks with me…just so I can have options hehe :-)

Christine

Friday, May 2, 2008

Nuts ruin all desserts?! OMG, I’m terrible at thsoe 3D things, too.

Wow, you sleep with make on nearly every night? You are craz, girl! I’m glad it doesn’t break you out! Your skin is a tough sonofagun ;)

As a teacher, do you wear fun makeup to school or do you keep it “professional”?

Heather

Friday, May 2, 2008

I wear all kinds of fun and crazy make-up to school. The kids love it - I’ve even had some boys compliment me on how I “paint my eyes” hehe. Some girls take pictures of my eyes and collect the colors: “Oh Miss, you have green today! Lemme take a picture!” It’s fun :-)

And yes, nuts ruin ALL desserts!

Six quirky facts about me:

1) I hate Cilantro (Corriander in the U.K). Especially when it’s piled on top of food to garnish it. Why would you do that? Why?
2) Whenever somebody I know passes away, I dream about it happening the night before and wake up totally freaked out. It happened just four days back actually…
3) I’m allergic to anything small enough to get up my nasal passages…dust, pollen, powdery deodourant and especially Lilies!!
4) I can fall asleep anytime, anywhere. In the car, train, planes, standing up on the underground…just give me 5 minutes and I’m gone.
5) I can never listen to a song all the way through on my iPod. I get bored a minute in and switch, and then go back to the previous song and do the same again!

Six beauty quirks:

1) No matter what colour, shade or tone of foundation I use, my face looks like Casper in photographs…and I’m Indian (NC35)!! Even if I wear a darker shade with no SPF and no reflective base etc, I still come out white as a sheet!
2) I have trillions of lipsticks & lipglosses and all the expensive ones, like Dior, YSL etc are the ones that don’t really suit me much. The cheapo ones I have however that cost me a couple of bucks are the ones I used for my graduation, engagement and will probably also wear on my wedding day!
3) I still haven’t found the perfect styling product for my curly/wavy hair…so I just don’t wash out my conditioner and it makes my curls look great!
4) Right now I have 4 different mascaras in my bag…none of which I have used in months! They just have to be there….
5) I knew I had SERIOUS make up obsession issues when I was en route to see my b/f after he had a car accident (it wasn’t serious,he was just freaked out but not hurt at all) and I stopped off at MAC to buy a lipstick…I was repulsed at myself and swear I am not selfish…I really think it was retail therapy!!!

Christine

Friday, May 2, 2008

Hey Peri!

You know, I hate it when they garnish food with it, too — I don’t mind the taste when it’s already mixed in or whatever, but I don’t like the texture of it when it’s all by itself. Don’t allergies suck? Grr. When spring started bloomin’, I thought I was giong to die!! I admire your sleeping abilities ;)

Do you have a bad photographer!?! LOL. Maybe it’s not you, it’s the camera/flash they’re using!

Oh wow, four mascaras?! Which ones are they?

Peri

Tuesday, May 6, 2008

Hey Christine!

The four mascaras are MAC Plushlash, L’Oreal Telescopic, Bourjois Extreme Clubbing and Sephora Curling Mascara which was a total waste of money!!!

I do love Plushlash and also Telescopic because of the teeny tiny comb but I think I’ll be going for Diorshow on my wedding day for it’s waterproof and non-flaking qualities - what do you think??

Christine

Thursday, May 8, 2008

Nice! You have two of my favorites :D (Plushlash and Telescopi!)

DiorShow actually flaked on me, LOL.

1. I’m allergic to a bunch of things, but, most peculiar of them all is a steroid called pulmicort. On its own, pulmicort has the opposite of the desired effect and makes me stop breathing. However, when combined with other things in a drug called symbicort, it helps my breathing immensely! (I’m rather asthmatic, by the way).

2. My hair has been pretty much every colour you can think of, at least in streaks, if not full head. Exceptions: yellow or gray/silver/platinum.

3. My room can be a total mess, but I’m absolutely fanatical about having collections (dvd, books, cds, makeup, etc) organized. Makeup is divided into categories and other things are alphabetized. I alphabetize because then I know other people can figure out the system, too, and put things back properly. :D

4. I can rarely find women’s sneakers to fit my feet, so I’ve been buying men’s sneakers for years. The plus? They’re a better made product and last longer!

5. I used to be such a fiend for cheese that people would give me large blocks of cheese as presents. I’ve settled down some on that front.

6. My room is my cave. The only other person permitted entrance other than myself is my boyfriend. I get very upset if people go in without explicit permission - I feel invaded then.

Round two!

1. I pretty much never curl my lashes. They’re long and I’m quite content with how they frame my eyes as is. They are also rather bad at holding any added curl. :D

2. Eyelash curlers remind me of torture tools.

3. I very, very rarely use pencil eyeliners - I just don’t find I get enough precision (I’m all about the fluidline with a brush). I also almost never use anything on my waterline.

4. I can’t deal with navy mascara. It reminds me of my mother’s spidery lashes. No thanks.

5. For years and years I never bothered with makeup because I had only tried drugstore and found it useless - there was no real colour payoff and it just came off anyway, so why bother?

6. My friends make fun of me for my makeup addiction, but admit that mine is healthier/takes up less space than theirs, and whenever they have a makeup/beauty question they come to me!

Christine

Friday, May 2, 2008

Morning, Sanayhs :D How do you pronounce your name, btw? You don’t even want to know how I’m pronouncing it in my head, LOL.

I used to buy mens sneakers, too, but only because I liked the style better! I hate sneakers for the most part, though. I have some white and pink Nike Shocks, and that’s about it. I know what you mean about your room! When I had to share a dorm with another person, I was sooo creeped out when someone would sit on my bed or something. I was like umm, invaded!

What’s your brush of choice with fluidline? And lol@the navy mascara. How funny!

Sanayhs

Friday, May 2, 2008

suh-NAY-iss. :) I hear a lot of pronunciations of it, it’s always fun. My last name is pretty straight forward, but people mess that up, too. They often try to make it more French than it is. Hey, doesn’t bother me, I just sit back and giggle.

I generally use the 208 with fluidline. Occasionally I’ll break out the 266 or the 210, but I usually stick to my 208.

I wear sneakers to work, or occasionally some fun printed canvas vans for on the run. I have a pair with swirls and skulls and whatnot on them, and they amuse me.

I had a roommate in my dorm room for about a month. I was delighted when she moved to a single room and no one else moved in with me. :D

Christine

Thursday, May 8, 2008

Got it! I was close :D

You lucked out with the roomy situation!

I am the exact same way!!!

6 Facts about me:
1. I don’t really like chocolate EXCEPT for white chocolate (strange, I know)
2. My favorite comfort food is jalapeno flavored potato chips…I can scarf down a whole bag, yikes!
3. I find it hard to sleep without my cat sleeping right next to me, kinda like my security blanket, and hello, I am 35!
4. I can listen to the same song over and over and not get tired of it.
5. I am a total “Law and Order” show junkie, and love all of their variations…
6. I HATE clowns! They totally freak me out!

6 Beauty Quirks:
1. I always have the same “get ready” routine every morning, shower, cleanse face, brush teeth, do hair, do make up, get dressed. If I change it, I am off track ALL day!
2. I always put on Carmex lip balm before I go to sleep at night…I think I am addicted!
3. I use Milk of Magnesia as my face primer…helps with oil control.
4. I ALWAYS curl my lashes. I have typical asian lashes, sparse and straight!
5.I only wash my hair every other day, otherwise it will dry my hair out, plus that means every other day I can sleep in a little longer, lol
6. I always use a lip liner, even with gloss!

traca

Friday, May 2, 2008

shutup…milk of magnesia..i have a terribly oily t-zone. do you think it will help?

Tammy M

Friday, May 2, 2008

I have told everyone about it! I just use it on my T-zone, and it helps my mineral foundation powder go on soooo smooth! Plus, it helps fight oil ALL day. Just be sure to get the “unscented” version. Also, look at the ingredients and make sure to get the kind with water NOT oil. I just get the store brand and pour some in a smaller container…Oh, and don’t use too much or you will get a chalky residue, if that happens, you can just buff it off…good luck!

 
 

Christine

Friday, May 2, 2008

Hey Tammy! I am ALL about Law & Order: Criminal Intent ;) I love Goren!! I used to like SVU, too. I can do the song thing, too - depends on the song, though!

OMG, the routine, I know, right? I have to do things in a certain order otherwise I’ll totally space and forget and be upset that I missed a crucial step all day.

3) After my shower in the morning, I apply body butter and of course face moisturizer.
4) I use a small amount of hydrocortizone cream on the dry patches on my face.
5) To remove my eye makeup, I use jojoba oil on cotton squares. it removes my mascara and fluidline easily.
6) I can’t stand long hair, my hair is very thick and heavy. When it was long I had never ending headaches; I kept Tylenol in total profit. My hair is now so short, about a quarter inch long (if that). It is wash and wear / no fuss, no muss. I LOVE it!!!

Christine

Friday, May 2, 2008

Ohh, what kind of boutique do you own, Raven? Is it tribal fusion related? :)

LOL, my hair is really thick and heavy, too, though I love long hair so I could never cut it short! I don’t have the guts or the heart. But I do envy your no muss no fuss hair!

Do you have long or short hair? I have heard some of the trials and tribulations of maintaining African American hair!

 

Tammy M

Friday, May 2, 2008

OMG, really? But they are so cute! Is there any background to that fear? I’m uncomfortable around strange dogs, especially large ones, though, but now that I have a large pup, no longer!

LOL, I hate when my boyfriend says anything about my driving, too. ;)

I love how we can be soo anal about our makeup vanities! What’s your favorite MAC dream?

Nell Subscribed to comments via email

Friday, May 2, 2008

I was bitten by a rabid dog when I was 5 years old. Had a phobia ever since. But I can appreciate a dogs cuteness, though that is much easier from afar ;)
Give my regards to Mellan!

My favorite MAC dream is being in a Pro store all alone over night, playing with everything! But it would be even better together with you, I´d learn so much!

Christine

Thursday, May 8, 2008

Oh no! :( But I totally understand now.

Mellan is huge now (approaching 45 pounds), but he gives you a big doggy kiss from afar :)

Hey Michelle! I hate tingling on my lips, especially DuWop Lip Venom tingling!!

LOL, how much diet coke do you drink in a day?

I LOVE when I meet readers who are new addicts :) The beginning of the addiction is so much fun!

michelle Subscribed to comments via email

Friday, May 2, 2008

I by a 12 pack every other day for home. That doesnt count for work. But really, prolly a six pack a day. Its kinda embarrasing. But I make myself drink I big water-32 ounce- every day.
And I’m having so much fun with the makeup thing. Total mac addict for eyeshadow. But not for foundation and concealor. Although, I put my base on like u showed in your “dewy” tutorial- 182 brush. Love it.

Christine

Friday, May 2, 2008

WOW! I am impressed, lol. I don’t think I can even get that much liquid in me. Soda makes my nose feel funny so I neverr drink it.

I’m glad you love the foundation technique I use!

Six facts:

1. I like making desserts - and complicated ones too. I have never made a salad in my life but can make profiteroles and Death by Chocolate trifle without looking at the recipes.

2. I am allergic to sunlight

3. I love playing scrabble/scrabulous - sometimes I stay up way past midnight just to play a series of games. I am that addicted.

4. I adopt many, many stray animals and end up keeping them instead of finding them new homes

5. I don’t stop reading a book once I start. Even if it’s 700+ pages long!

6. I love Stargate SG-1 (especially Seasons 1-8 which featured Richard Dean Anderson, heh heh) and watch it on DVD whenever I get the chance.

Six beauty related facts:

1. I love black eyeliner - a LOT. I use it every day and feel rather “naked” without it!

2. I own more shades of red lipstick than any other color and wear them almost every day.

3. I don’t use more than three eye shadows when applying make up.

4. I have used henna since I was a teenager. I expect I’ll have flaming orange hair when I hit my 50’s….

5. I like using natural, organic beauty products (eg. rose water, rose hip oil, tea tree oil)

6. I can get away with skipping mascara - which is great because it’s something I forget to do most of the time!

Morning, Tonee! :)

Can you cook food, too, or are you just desserts? I’m okay with that, because you can bake me a dessert any time! How many animals do you have now?

I’m so amazed by your ability to use three shadows or less! That sounds like a nightmare to me, lol!

I just picked up avocado oil, jojoba oil, and tea tree oil! I don’t know what to do with them for the most part, but at least I managed to get them without spending a fortune!

Yes, I can cook too but only if I really have to. Desserts are my favorite :)

I now have five cats (one died in February and I found two abandoned kittens in March) and two dogs.

Jojoba oil is really good for removing make up and moisturizing dry skin. Tea tree oil works really well on spots and reduces the dark spots left by acne.

Wow, your house must be busy all the time :) It takes an amazing person to rescue animals!

Yes, law school sucks. Just wait until you have to take the bar, it is even worse. Luckily there is solace in makeup!

At least I have no desire to be a lawyer, so if I can’t manage to pass it, it doesn’t break my career choice!

Hi, I am pretty new to your website but I’m already addicted. Here are some facts about me:
1) I’m currently studying for my LSAT and I HATE the logic games, though I love the logical reasoning questions. The logic games questions take me like 10 minutes for each question, and I usually get them wrong anyways.
2) I am scared of anime (yes, Japanese animation). Something about it just freaks me out.
3) I have a wicked sweet tooth.
4) I collect coffee table books. Mostly they are about beauty (I have 3 more being shipped to me), but I have some on fashion, lots on art, cooking styles, and jewellery.
5) Movies are a big passion of mine, I like all genres. I almost always have seen all the movies nominated for Oscars. One of my favourite places is a little independent theatre in my city that can get some of the weirdest and most interesting films.
6) I get the hiccups really bad when I laugh too hard. Then the people around me laugh when I hiccup, then I laugh more, then I hiccup more…..It’s a vicious cycle

Beauty Facts:
1) I like strong, well groomed eyebrows on women. I think it makes me (and other women in general) look important and decisive.
2) I use “bag balm” on my lips every morning. The tin it comes in is probably at least 30 years old. It is actually made to sooth chapped cow’s utters. Yes, cow’s utters!
3) For years I searched for a mascara that wouldn’t give me “racoon eyes” after a few hours. I’d almost given up hope until I found Kiss Me Masca
