TGBD:
Have you always been so obsessed with beauty?
Kristen: No,
actually! I didn't apply makeup until I was 18 and started college. I was not
allowed, and I had no interest. I always felt like it was a boring and
time-consuming addition to my morning routine when I saw my best friend
obsessed with it. I didn't know what I was missing! I got some samples of MAC
dye, and it was love from the first step.
TGBD: How
did you decide to start a blog?
Kristen:
I've always posted my makeup looks to communities and forums, and I thought it
would be nice to archive all my looks so everyone can easily access them in one
place. Soon, I started reviewing various makeup releases and received such a
positive response that I began to become more and more of a beauty blogger.
TGBD:
What did you learn about the beauty from him?
Christine:
Everything. I learned that a product that I love so much may not work well with
most others, as well as some products that everyone loves, I just can't. I've
learned how important it is to take good care of your skin, and how much I wish
I knew about using SPF every day before I was 18! I also feel like there's a
lot of creativity when it comes to beauty, and it's a great outlet!
TGBD:
What is your favorite type of product to try? Eye shadows? hair styling
products? What excites you?
Kristen: My
God, what am I not excited about? I will always love trying new eyeshadows,
because my first obsession with makeup was all the brightly colored eyeshadows
I could find! I think what excites me most these days are new products, be it
new formulations, changes to existing products, or totally innovative and
revolutionary. I love experimenting with products that will change my beauty
routine.
TGBD: Our
readers have told us about the scents they have been using lately. Which one
(s) are you spraying on?
Kristen:
Undoubtedly, in recent months I have loved the look of Vera Wang. It is not
particularly sassy or sexy, but it is perfect for casual everyday wear.
Sometimes I switch to The Beat by Burberry, just because I can't resist,
although I prefer it in spring than winter. For all the occasions and events
that I have had on my vacation, I turned to Dior Addict, which was tried but
true.
TGBD:
Name your three favorite lip colors .
Kristen: I
love coral pink! I just can't get enough of them. With my warm undertones, I
find that these shades tend to flatter better than the other shades. Whenever I
find a nice medium pink, I feel dizzy; Who does not find totally feminine and
feminine pink lips? Finally, you can never get too much glitter from gold -
they are great ways to add sparkle and shine to any lipstick, as well as
helping warm shades that would otherwise be too cool for you to wear that well.
MAC
Mari-sheeno lipstick for its beautiful shade of coral pink, which was
unfortunately incredibly limited and is no longer in the US Lip gloss No. Cle
de Peau 2 creates gorgeous lips on the go with its light shine. For a modern
look in red, I adore MAC Queen's Sin, a bright festive red shade that works
well on most skin tones.
TGBD What
are the three skin care products you can't live without?
Kristen:
Clarisonic is number one for me! It really helps me make sure I cleanse my skin
thoroughly every night and my skin has definitely improved a lot since using
it. I have to have a good moisturizer that lasts all day, and recently my
favorite was Kate's oil-free moisturizer.
