Monday Q&A: May 23

Happy Monday everyone! Today I've decided to use Makeup and Beauty Blog author Karen's Monday Poll questions as my Monday Q&A. 

I post a Q&A every Monday consisting of ten questions to answer, and would love for all of you to answer the same questions in a comment - it's always fun to see what other people are into and up to these days! I'll be keeping a list of questions to use for future Q&A's as well, so if you have any questions of your own you would like to see me include, leave it in the comments below!

Top Ten Thursdays: Lipstick

I have decided to start a fun series of ongoing blog posts, called "Top Ten Thursdays". Every so often on Thursdays, I will post a new category of my top ten favorites. I'll post different kinds of makeup, articles of clothing, books, workout exercises, you name it! I'm also encouraging you to post your top ten favorites in the comments below along with giving me new categories to post my top ten favorites for so I can keep this series going!

Today, I have my Top Ten Favorite Lipsticks. I have been obsessed with lipsticks for a long time and am always looking for new and interesting shades to add to my collection. When it comes to color, I am not afraid! I love to wear hot pinks and bright corals during the day to spice up my look, and have been on the search for a lilac-y sort of purple as well.

I have photos and swatches of my top ten (in no particular order), and am going to list them and give a short description of each, but will not be doing in depth reviews of the products. If you're interested in a review, let me know! I'd be more than happy to do features later on of popular lipsticks. So, without further ado, let's get on with it!

May 2011 Birchbox

It's that time again! My May Birchbox arrived over the weekend and I happily scooped it up out of my mailbox as soon as I got home. I have never been a patient person, so after sneaking a peek at other members' Birchboxes through their own blog posts while I waited for mine, I had an idea of what would be coming my way.

If you're unfamiliar with the Birchbox program, I have described what Birchbox is all about and how it works more in depth in my previous monthly post, here.

This month, Birchbox is celebrating our mother's, and everything they have taught us over the years. The samples included are classy, elegant, and will never go out of style. Along with these hand-picked samples Birchbox has also included extra content on their website, such as an interview with YouTube Beauty Guru MissGlamorazzi, a feature on blogger Judy Aldrige, and a list of beauty techniques that will never fail. So, without further ado, let's check out my May Birchbox!

Monday Q&A: May 16

Another Monday means another Q&A! I've even taken some important time away from studying for my midterms to put together and answer this week's questions. I also received my May Birchbox  over the weekend, so expect a post on that soon as well!

Monday Q&A: May 9

Today for my Monday Q&A I have decided to copy and paste Allison's (Amarixe) questionnaire and list my own answers in this week's post. Allison is a beautiful and respectable person whom I feel I can relate to, and I'm often checking her blog daily to read her latest posts!

Nail of The Day

Yes! I was finally able to get my hands on Essie's Topless & Barefoot from their Spring 2011 collection. I have been searching for a couple months for this color, and after checking all the CVS and Target's nearby I almost gave up hope. It wasn't until last Thursday I found the last bottle at a Target a little outside of my 'search area' and I wasted no time adding it to my basket.

Essie describes Topless & Barefoot as a 'barely there soft beige pink.' After painting it onto my nails, I now know why there is such a hype about this color. It is the prettiest nude I have found to date that compliments my skin tone. The color is soft enough that with a soft glance makes it look like my nail are not painted, but upon closer inspection gives my nails and whole outfit a more polished feel.

Monday Q&A: May 2

I am a dedicated reader of Makeup and Beauty Blog, where the author Karen posts a set of fun questions to answer every week and also asks readers to publish their own answers in a comment! I thought this would be a neat idea to start here on LIVanLETDIEx as well!
