I've added photos for your viewing pleasure. If you are going to copy the photos, please link the post back to me. Thanks!!

Questions

1.Would you rather go out with messy hair and nice make-up or Nice hair and no make-up?

Oooh, definitely a hard one. I would say I would rather go out with messy hair and nice makeup because I cannot stand messy makeup. Hair however, I like the messy beachy look.

2.Would you rather shave your eyebrows or have your eyelashes fall out?

Wow, this is even harder then the last. Definitely shave my eyebrows. First because it will grow back. Second if my eyelashes fell out, there really has to be something wrong!

3.Would you rather be forced to shop at only MAC or Sephora for the rest of your life?

Can I say neither? Well IF I had to choose, probably Sephora.

4.Would you rather wear lipgloss/lipliner look or 80's perm?

Haha. So if it were like the perm in the picture. Probably NOT!. The lipgloss/liner look? well I don't know what they mean by this. I do this sometimes but I colour the whole lip with the liner.

5.Would you rather leave the house with an obvious foundation line or overdone blush?

Neither. but no if I had to choose, overdone blush. Because I can just say that I was blushing. 

6.Would you rather wear MC Hammer pants or biker shorts in public?

Biker shorts for sure. They can be sexy, no? I would probably throw a long shirt over them or a dress.

7.Would you rather have a bad orange-y spray tan or really weird tan lines that can't be covered?

Weird tan line; because I would just even the lines out by tanning. Orange skin is gross.

8.Would you rather have a bad haircut or bad hair color?

First this would never happen because I have an amazing stylist that I have been going to for the past 4-5 years and I have never coloured my hair, thats right, virgin hair. However, I would choose bad hair colour because it is easier to fix then to wait for a bad haircut to grow out.

9. Would you rather have you tube or twitter taken away forever?

Twitter. Don't like it. 

10.Would you rather give up using makeup brushes or mascara?

Mascara because I use false lashes anyways. Hate taking mascara off. Brushes I'll keep because they are essential to a professional makeup application.

Awwww.. I wanted more questions! Oh well, hope you enjoyed! I'll pass this TAG to all my followers! Please share!
