Hello! Happy Holidays everyone! I hope everyone had a chance to start pigging out on awesome food and spending some quality time with your family and friends!
I was tagged by Lipstick Asian to do the 10 Christmas Beauty Questions tag (wow a mouthful haha). As you probably know, I’m a sucker for tags and this one is no exception!
1. Have you been naughty or nice this year with your skincare routine?
I have honestly been the worst. Worse than naughty. Haha, let me start off with saying, what skincare routine? This might be the year of skincare though as I got an amazing Philosophy set and a Clarisonic as Christmas gifts. Maybe I will change my horrible skincare ways?!
2. What’s the go-to beauty, makeup, or skincare product you would gift to your family and friends?
I would have to say lip colours. Or should I say lipstick. In my opinion it’s one of the easiest things to buy as they usually come in a set. I recently bought a Nude Stix lip kit for a friend plus one for myself (it’s quality control, amirite?)
3. Do you mind gifting high-end products or rather drug store products to others?
I would say higher end products just because Sephora makes it so easy with all of their cute little sets. <3 I think drugstore companies should do holiday sets too!
4. What are the beauty products you’re hoping to get to see under your Christmas tree this year?
Since Christmas is now over, I can say that my Christmas wishes were definitely fulfilled. As mentioned above, my boyfriend gifted me a Clarisonic. I’ve been on the fence for 2 years about buying one. I’ve used it twice and so far I’m super happy with it!
5. What is the beauty product that you’re dreading to receive for Christmas this year?
Wow dreading?! That’s such a strong word! I honestly can’t really think of anything other than mascara just because I don’t wear it. But I think most people in my beauty life know that haha.
6. Are you participating in Blogmas this year? If so what is the post you’re most proud of so far?
Nope, didn’t do Blogmas this year. That might be fun for next year though!
7. Do you remember the first beauty product you received as a Christmas gift? What was it and did you enjoy it?
We’re doing a throwback eh? This is a really really hard one (I have such a bad memory). I would have to say one that I can remember is my boyfriend got me the Naked 3 a couple of years ago. I still love it! It’s a great palette in my opinion.
8. What mini size product would you recommend as a great stocking stuffer?
Okay, love this question because half my makeup collection are those travel sized minis. I would say a great stocking stuffer is the Tarte gift kits around Black Friday. They usually come with a blush, macadamia oil, and mascara. For $13 CAD you honestly can’t go wrong. (You know you’re a beauty blogger when you are super specific with these things….)
9. Would you rather your friends and family ask you gifts you wanted to receive or have them surprise you?
I would say a bit of both. I know how hard it is sometimes to think of gifts, so my family always does list to lighten the load a bit. I find that my parents always come with with very very thoughtful gifts that I would have never thought of. These surprises are definitely always nice!
10. What is your favorite way to show Christmas spirit through your look or outfit?
Christmas sweaters all the way! As I’m sure most beauty bloggers do as well, I like to accessories with a flaming red lip. Cause if that doesn’t scream the holidays, I’m not sure what does!
And there we have it! That was super fun! A message from the tag post…
For this tag, remember to:
- Copy and paste the questions below and give your answers to them in a blog post (I didn’t want to clutter my blog post, so the questions are listed with my answers!)
- Tag as many of fellow bloggers as you want

Tag wise, please feel free to do this one! Since it’s now past Christmas, I didn’t want to put any pressure on someone to do it if they felt it not relevant. I think it was super fun anyways, and hope to read some of your responses!
Thanks so much for reading! Merry Christmas!
