Amy and the bets

This is my best friend Amy! After telling Amy about this blog I decided that the best thing to do would be to involve her in it by pestering her about doing a mini interview! So, as this is a beauty blog I thought it most fitting to ask her beauty related questions - as you do. So, here it goes!

(To give a bit of a background, Amy generally likes to have a natural make-up look often with just a touch of concealer and mascara - and she looks fantastic like this - grrr.)

Moi : So Amy, lets begin with your make-up bag. What are your make-up essentials?

Amy: Well, I never leave the house without Benefit Erase paste on , its got great coverage - and gets rid of any spots and redness on my face, so that is always close to hand![I should add now, that Amy is a Benefit addict, I believe she is a sucker for the packaging as we all are, its so dang pretty!] 

Another product I have recently fallen in love with is Benefit's Stay dont stray primer - in my opinion it is miles better than my previous too faced shadow insurance. I use this to prime my concealer as well as eyeshadow. I use it under my eyes as it gives a good brightening effect - even before concealer! 

The powder and blush I use are both from Lily Lolo - these were bought locally, so Im not too sure of availability elsewhere - however if you find them, I highly recommend them! 

I also carry Benefits Benetint (the original red one) as i like to use a touch of this as a blush, and also as a lipstain ( I would generally add a clear gloss on top if I use it on my lips as it is a touch drying) I like how you can control the intensity of it by how  much or little you apply. 

Finally I have a too faced glamour to go kit which I use just for the eyeshadows - particularly the bronze and purple. (Sorry folks I checked, they don't have names :( boo )

Moi: So, how about perfume, what are you favourites for day and night?

Amy: Well i tend to stick to one perfume for a few months then mix it up a bit, so at the moment it is DKNY Be Delicious - Green. This is so fruity and perfect for summer, and also perfect to brighten up winter days! My all time favourite perfume would have to be Hugo Boss Intense though - I use this from day through to night - but unfortunately I don't have any just now. (I swear I saw Amy look at me with puppy dog eyes at this point...) In terms of night time perfumes, the one i'm currently using is FCUK's Connect. 

CUE STORY

A month or so ago, I was at Amy's house, I sat, as I tend to do on the floor, however on this fateful day I sat in front of her bookcase - which on the top shelf is where she keeps all her perfumes (On this occasion very messily! As in, they weren't standing up right, as in they were balancing!). Now, for those of you who don't know what FCUK Connect looks like - let me insert a picture.

Yes, that is metal around it, and yes she has the biggest bottle... 

So as I was sitting innocently I got the fright of my life as a shower of perfume bottles and lotions fell on me, this bad boy managing to hit me right in the head! I cried. Alot. I also got a bump. A big bump.

For this reason, I hate this perfume, I hate it more than any other.

On that note we end our interview, Thankyou Amy for letting us delve into your make-up and perfume world! I for one am very grateful!

P.s. Remeber Amy's name, she is currently writing a book, remember where you knew her first!
