Tag: This or That

I have recently seen bloggers doing the "this or that" tag so I thought I'd try it out as well. This is the first tag post on my blog, hope you guys like it.


MAKEUP
Blush or Bronzer: Blush because I just don't understand the purpose of Bronzer and neither do I know how to use it.
Lip gloss or Lipstick: Lipgloss since I find most lipsticks to be drying, and just too intense for my liking. I also never seem to have good luck with lipstick shades. It's very difficult to find something that suits my skin tone.
Eyeliner or Mascara: Mascara on a daily basis, but when I am going for a festive look then I do like using black or colored eyeliners.
Foundation or Concealer: Foundation in light coverage and pressed-powder form. I never experimented much with liquid foundation but the odd couple or so times I did, I found them to be quite drying. I never use concealer because I find it too thick and intense.
Neutral or Color Eye Shadow: I really tried hard but I just can't figure out using eyeshadows so I would mostly go for single Neutral eyeshadows that I can just blend with my fingers for an easy natural look. I just use one single eyeshadow on both my eyelids and that's it.
Pressed or Loose Eye Shadows: Definitely Pressed since loose powders/eyeshadows could get messy.
Brushes or Sponges: Fingers, if I cannot blend a product easily with my fingers I am not buying it. I do not even like investing in makeup let alone makeup tools like brushes, sponges, and whatnot.

NAILS
Long or Short: Short, I'm not a great fan of long nails. 
Acrylic or Natural: Natural. I rarely go to the salon for anything. I just don't have the time or money for that.
Neutrals or Pastels: Both, it depends.

BODY
Perfume or Body Mist: Perfume because most body mists are weak and alcoholic smelling. There are a few mists you can find that are strong, last long and not too alcoholic but it is rare.
Lotion or Body Butter: Body butter for winters and lotion for summers.
Body Wash or Soap: I religiously use and love my Dove soap ever since I discovered it's moisturizing benefits last year. But I am contemplating getting into body washes especially during peak winters.
Lush or other bath company: The Body Shop

HAIR
Curly or Straight: I have naturally wavy hair so though I would prefer straight hair, it requires damaging styling with straightening tools so I'll pick Curly.
Bun or Ponytail: Both. Ponytail when I am going to work and Bun when I am at home. For going out casually I like to leave it open.
Hair spray or Gel: Neither since I do not like the stiff cast that they give to my hair. I like my hair to be soft/smooth and easily pass through a comb. But when it's windy outside and I want to leave my hair open I use strong hold hair spray to keep it in place.
Long or Short: Both, depending on my mood and how hectic my schedule is. When I'm really busy I like to keep it shoulder length but when I have more time to spare for hair care then I try and grow it out.

RANDOM
Rain or Shine: Shine, who loves rain really, we can't go out or do anything.
Summer or Winter: I like snowfall but only for maybe a few days, 6 months of snowfall is no fun so I'll pick Summer.
Chocolate or Vanilla: Chocolate, I don't know how vanilla is even a flavor, it just tastes like sweetened cream to me. But if it is fragrances, I like both.

So that's the entire tag. Phew! it was tiring. I hope you had fun reading it. Now it's your turn, I tag YOU, yes whoever is reading this, consider yourself tagged. If you have a blog, just blog it and send me a link to your post, or you can just do it in the comments section below, that way we can get to know more about each other.

Top 12 Things to Buy from Kruidvat own Brand

 We've been seeing inflation here in the Netherlands since October last year. It's just plain ridiculous to see something that I paid 5 euros for a few months back is now around 7 euros or maybe more. That doesn't sound like a lot but when you buy about 50 things (food, groceries, toiletries, etc.) for your house, it all adds up and overall you are paying 50 to 100 euros more than what you were paying previously. But unfortunately, not a lot of us have seen this increase in our pay and many people have even lost jobs during and after the covid crisis. So it's only natural for us to want to save our money wherever we can. But that said we also do not want to compromise on quality. And that is where the idea for this post comes from. Kruidvat is a drugstore that is similar to CVS/Walgreens in the US. Products sold here are mostly hygiene products, cleaning supplies, makeup, and over-the-counter medicines. I have been shopping here for hygiene products for years. By now I ...

15 Must Watch Chinese Youth Dramas That are Artistic Masterpieces

I stopped watching youth dramas (dramas usually set in high school/college backdrop) over a year ago since I felt like I was getting too old for these. I find most of them quite juvenile like I am watching the Disney channel. However, before I completely stopped, I tried watching more than 30 popular youth dramas and I had to drop most of them because they were just too mediocre, with bad writing, and bad acting/editing. But I also found some gems that were just too good and should not be missed by anyone, doesn't matter how old you are. These dramas have something more than just being a funny/silly high school/college drama. They have some kind of an x-factor to them that makes them quite unique in my opinion. Be it the story, the casting, the cinematography, the costumes, the locations/settings, etc. all together create a magical on-screen experience that I have not found in the other youth dramas that I have seen. Listed below are my top picks from the Chinese youth drama genre ...

Wet n Wild Megalast Salon Nail Color 218A I Need A Refresh-Mint Review and Swatches

OK, let me just start off by saying something totally unrelated,  Pinterest  is so friggin addictive!!! The reason why I've not posted yet this week is coz I've been there all the time pinning this, pinning that, pinning almost everything that could possibly be pinned online. I know, I have a problem here, so I decided not to pin too much today and do a blog post instead. My first Wet n Wild mega last Nail Color was in the shade I Need A Refresh-Mint. And the packaging was one of the reasons. The back of the bottle clearly shows the shade name and the ingredients on a peel-open sticker. There's the logo of the company embossed on the other two sides. The top shows us that they have introduced a ManiCurve Pro Brush which I must say is very impressive. Looks very chic, sturdy, and promising for a product that is so inexpensive. The brush is mostly compared to the Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure nail polishes but I never tried those so I cannot compare. I really love this...
