The Beauty Blogger Tag!

Heyyaa,
So, I thought that I'd do the Beauty Blogger tag today. Sorry for all of these tag kind of posts recently, it's just that I haven't really been trying any products or anything to review for you but I'm sure that they'll be one soon! Anyway, here we go:

1. Is your hair naturally curly or straight?
My hair is naturally kinda wavy if I let it air dry but if I blow dry it, it goes kinda straightish!
2. What is your natural hair colour?
My natural hair colour is blonde. Although it keeps getting darker! :(
3. Do you die it or do you go to a salon?
I don't dye my hair and I never have done!
4. How often do you wash your hair?
Generally everyday because otherwise my hair gets quite greasy.
5. Do you wear the same hairstyle everyday or do you change it up?
I tend to just wear my hair naturally down but I do sometimes wear it up in a messy bun depending on what I'm doing. I can't really do all that much with my hair because I have a fringe and its not all that long!
6.  Do you do your own nails or do you go to a salon?
I don't tend to do my nails all that often because I don't have time and we're not allowed to wear nail polish to school. But wen I do, I do it myself and then will sometimes, very rarely, go to a salon.
7. How often do you change your nail polish?
When I paint them, probably every 5ish days depending on the colour and how chipped it is!
8. Do you always wear nail polish on your toes?
I do most of the time unless I'm feeling really lazy or haven't had time.
9. How long does it take you to put your make-up on?
For school, 5 minutes and otherwise about 10-15 minutes unless I'm going out at night or going somewhere special and then it'll take me about 30 minutes!
10. What do you do first, your face or your eyes?
I do my face, then my eyes and then powder my face to set it all afterwards.
11. Do you collect make-up or just buy it when you need it?
A bit of both really because I only buy like face things when I need to but anything else I just tend to buy if I really like it.
12. How often do you wear false lashes?
Never! I've actually never worn them although I'm sure that I will do soon.
13. Do you wear a full face of make-up everyday?
Probably not what everyone would class as a full face of make-up but for me I do if I'm going anywhere other than like the supermarket.
14. Do you wear make-up just around the house?
Nope because I think its good to give your skin a rest.
15. Will you leave the house without make-up on?
Yes but not all that often and only when I'm just like popping to the shop or something.
16. How many high end products do you have?
I don't really have any because I usually don't really usually have enough money but I have got quite a bit of money at the minute so I might treat myself :)
17. How often do you wash your make-up brushes?
I know this is really bad! But, probably only about once a month! I know you should wash them more often and I do try to but I just never seem to have time and mine seem to take forever to dry!
18. Do you plan what you are going to wear the next day or when your getting dressed?
Probably when I'm getting dressed although I do usually already have an idea of what I'm going to wear.
19. How often do you change your handbag?
Not very often unless I just like want a smaller bag for something as I usually use one for ages before I change it!
20. What time do you usually get up and go to sleep?
6:00 for school and about 7:00 at a weekend because I've always woken up early. And then usually about 9:30 or sometimes 10:00 at a weekend.
21. How often and when do you work out?
I don't really tend to work out at all! The only proper exercise I ever really do is in P.E lessons once a week.
22. Left or right-handed?
Right-handed
23. How tall are you?
About 5'5 and a half I think.
24. Do you speak a foreign language?
Not fluently but I am doing French GCSE.
25. How many pets do you have?
3 fish. A bit lame but ya know.
26. How often are you on blogger?
Everyday unless I literally have not a second to spare!
27. Do you read the comments posted on your blog?
Yepp. And I reply to every single one :)
28. Do you keep a list of products to try as you read other blogs?
Most of the time unless I don't have somewhere to write it down at the time.
29. How did you come up with your blog name?
Erm.. Well I've always used the Jemini bit for accounts online because my name's Jemma and I'm a Gemini. And then I just though the x was cute and that the life made sense because it was going to be about me and my life.
30. What sort of camera do you use to take your photos?
I haven't actually posted any photos on here, all of mine have been Internet pictures because I never remember beforehand and then when I'm writing the post I never have time or its always later at night. But when I do I'll be using the FujiFilm Finepix J20 which is just a small little camera. And its blue! :)
31. How often do you clean your room?
I don't very often because my mum tends to do it because she's got like her cleaning routine and everything.
32. What is your favourite colour?
Probably purple or green. But a darker green.
33. What is your favourite magazine?
Probably Now, Look and maybe Glamour.
34. Do you swear?
Yes. A lot more than I should although I have started swearing less and now I only do it when I'm angry or something.
35. What are you going to do today?
Probably not very much because it's like 17:30 now so probably have tea, go on my iPod a bit and watch catch-up of tv shows and then probably shower and then go on my iPod some more before going to sleep because I'm cool like that.
Anyway, that's today's post done! I know its really long but heyho. I tag all of you lot out there to do this and if you do let me know in the comments! :)
Much love,

Heyyaa,

BubzBeauty
I absolutely love Bubz's blog/website and it was the first beauty one that I ever started reading. She not only does beauty, skincare and fashion posts, she also does really inspirational lifestyle/life matters posts which I love. I really admire Bubz and all of her hard work and if I had to pick someone to be my role model it would have to be her.

I love Louise's blog, she always posts regularly and does a wide variety of posts on beauty and skincare as well as some lifestyle type of posts including posts on BabyGlitter. (So cute!)

Zoella
I love Zoe's blog because she's just an all round good person and does amazing posts. I'm also slightly jealous of her hair!

I love Thrifty's blog. It is absolutely amazing if your on a budget as she always has some great money saving tips.

BeautyCrush
I love Sammi's blog because she does fashion posts as well as beauty and lifestyle posts which I love and I love her style!

FleurDeForce (And BrideDeForce)
I love Fleur's blog as she does some amazing beauty and skincare posts. I also love her bridal blog with her sister Hannah because I love reading about Fleur's wedding preparation!

SWalkerMakeup
I love Sara's blog because she does some really useful and interesting beauty and skincare posts about pretty much anything.

I know that these are mainly quite big, popular bloggers (who all have YouTube channels!) but I've been following their blogs for quite a while now and I absolutely love them all! Let me know in the comments who some of your favourite bloggers are.
Much Love,

Makeup Favourites

Heyyaa,

So, I'm back with a beauty post and this is going to be on my makeup favourites/the makeup that I wear on a daily basis. My makeup looks do tend vary depending on like the seasons and stuff (I tend to wear more makeup in winter than summer). So this is kind of my sort of summer/autumn makeup.
I prefer to wear tinted moisturiser instead of a thick foundation and this year I've been using Natural Collection Tinted Moisturiser. I then wear concealer and lately I've been wearing Natural Collection Cover-Up Cream ( In know, there are quite a few Natural Collection items in this!). I then use Avon Colourtrend Face Powder as its quite good and its just one I kind of had sitting around for a while. For my eyes, I use Natural Collection eyeshadow in Seashell all over my eyes, then Boots No7 eyeshadow in Antique Rose all over my lid and then Natural Collection in Milk Chocolate in my crease to add a little bit of definition. I then use Natural Collection Lash Length Mascara.
Right I think that's all the make-up I wear on a daily basis! I don't really tend to wear anything on my lips other than a tinted lip balm every day as I have school and we're not actually allowed to wear make-up but you know! I just wear it anyway. I hope you enjoyed this post and I'm sorry it took so long for me to post it. Have a great rest of the week :)
Much Love,
Jeminix
P.s. The Natural Collection Make-up is available at Boots and online here as is the No7 (the actual eyeshadow that I use is not available online but it may still be in stores) and the Avon is available to order from the Avon book and online here.
