Sinful Colors- What's Your Name? & 50 Questions

I have wide selection of black polishes. It's weird, because I rarely ever wear a black creme. I prefer to have a black with some sort of sparkle or shimmer to it. One of my favorite black polishes is What's Your Name by Sinful Colors. Don't even get me started on its name. I'm not a fan of the names by Sinful Colors they seem to be random and completely unrelated to the colors!

What's Your Name- indoors w/ flash



What's Your Name- outdoors w/ sun

What's Your Name is a black creme mixed in with blue, green, teal, and purple duocrhome micro glitter. The glitter is similar to the colors on a peacock. In different lights and angles you can see different colors. It's a great black polish and for $2, I don't think you can go wrong!!

Oh geez. I'm not 100% sure anymore. I'd say I'm neutral learning towards warm.

-What do you think of fake eyelashes?
I have never worn them. I like them on others as long as they aren't costumey unless you're a Drag Queen. In that case costumey fake lashes are awesome!


-Did you know that you are supposed to change your mascara every 3 months?
Yes.

-What brand of mascara do you use?
I have lots of mascaras. I like Maybelline & Cover Girl ones best.

-Sephora or MAC?
Personally, I'd say Sephora. I think they have better variety and you can buy palettes there with multiple options as opposed to MAC. -hides- Don't hate me, but I think MAC is a bit overrated at least for the casual makeup wearer like me. If you're into dramatic looks and doing a lot with your makeup I think MAC is great, but for me it's not practical. I rarely shop high-end anymore though. That's just my opinion so don't hate!

-Do you have a MAC Pro-card?
No

-What makeup tools do you use in make up application?
Brushes

-Do you use make-up base/primer for the eyes?
Yes, ELF primer

-For the face?
Not currently

Last Call-Urban Decay & Bronze Glitz palette Maybelline

Pencil

Milani-Mai Tai, Laura Geller- Sunswept, or Benefit Coralista

-Do you buy your makeup on ebay?
No

-Do you like drugstore makeup?
LOVE IT! Believe it or not, I used to be a high end makeup snob. I think my makeup is now 80% drugstore 20% high end. Drugstore brands have really stepped up their game, and many of them are comparable or better than high end. The only thing I repurchase now that is high end is my foundation.

-Do you go to CCO's? (cosmetic company outlets)
I had no idea these existed

-Did you ever consider taking make-up classes?
I've considered taking a class for myself, but not seriously.

-Are you clumsy in putting on makeup?
Sometimes

I guess the whole Snooki type look. Too much bronzer..too much everything

For eyes I tend to keep things more neutral. I'm a little more adventurous with lips on occasion.

Haha, honestly I don't really follow pop culture and celebrities, so I don't know. I'm a nerd. :P

-If you could leave the house using just ONE make up item,what would you use?
Eyeliner

Yeah, I do it 1-2 times a week.

-Do you think you look good even without any makeup on?
Meh, I don't seem to scare people.

-In your opinion, what is the BEST makeup line?
I can't choose. I am not brand specific when it comes to makeup. I have so many different brands

-What do you think of Makeup?
I like makeup. I like putting it on. I think it accentuates my features and boosts my confidence, plus it's a fun thing to do. It's not a hobby of mine and I'm not one to follow trends with it, but I enjoy it.

Stay tuned...I'll have a polish post up later today!
