1. Is your hair naturally curly or straight?
Normally dead straight but it can go a bit wavy overnight.
2. What is your natural hair colour?
I was born blonde, but my hair went a mousy brown colour when I was about 6. When I got to 15 it started getting even darker so it's now naturally a mid brown colour.
3. Do you dye it yourself or go to a salon?
I dye my hair lighter myself using the L'oreal Casting Sunkiss Jelly. It's only a very weak bleach and I just use it on the ends of my hair to give a slight dip dye effect, as well as adding in a few highlights.
4. How often do you wash your hair?
At least 4 times a week. My hair is very thin so it gets greasy quickly.
5. Do you wear the same hairstyle everyday or change it?
I tend to wear my hair the same for weeks on end, and then discover a new style and constantly wear my hair in that way instead.
6. Do you do your own mani/pedi or go to a salon?
I do my own. I've been painting my nails on a weekly basis for a couple of years now so I can do a mean manicure haha.
7. How often do you change your nail polish?
Normally I paint my nails every Saturday evening (I love a good regular schedule ahah) but sometimes I'll also redo them on Wednesday if they're looking a bit rough or I'm going out Friday or Saturday night.
8. Do you polish your toes in the winter too, or just in the summer?
I only do them in the summer as no one sees my toes in the winter, but to be honest I'm so lazy when it comes to painting my toe nails so I leave it on over a month before I change it, even in the summer.
9. How long does it take you to put on your makeup?
It depends whether I'm doing a full makeup routine or not. For college normally about 10 - 15 minutes, 15 - 20 at the weekends, and for a night out, anything up to 45 minutes really.
10. What do you do first - face or eyes?
I do my foundation first, then my eye makeup, and then my concealer and other face products so that any fall out from my eye makeup is covered over.
11. Do you 'collect' makeup or just buy it as you need it?
I did go through a stage of collecting a ridiculous amount of makeup, but now I'm more restrained and try to only buy what I need. However, if a new launch really catches my eye, or a product keeps popping up on other people's blogs, sometimes I just have to give in to temptation.
12. How often do you wear false lashes?
Very rarely; I wore them for prom and I think I've worn them to a couple of parties. I need to get a new pair actually, mine are pretty wrecked.
13. Do you wear a full face of makeup every day?
For college yes, but I won't go all out on my eye makeup.
14. Do you wear makeup when you're home alone (or with family)?
If I'm not going out at the weekend I won't put any on; I need to give my skin a bit of a break. If I'm going out with my family I will though.
15. Will you leave the house without makeup?
It sounds bad, but not really. I just look so dead without any makeup.
16. How many high end products do you have?
I have 2 MAC products, 2 from Urban Decay, 1 from Benefit and a few Benefit samples. Not loads but I'm so happy with the ones I have.
17. How often do you wash your makeup brushes?
I am so so bad at this! I literally only wash them every few months which is absolutely awful. I'm going to try to start doing them every month and work from there.
18. Do you plan your OOTD the night before or when you're getting dressed?
Usually I'll plan while I'm having my breakfast and washing in the morning, unless it is for something important.
19. How often do you change your bag?
I usually get a new handbag every 6 months as I like to swap as the seasons change. In terms of school bag, I generally get a new one at the start of each school year. I try to make them last longer but the straps always seem to break because of how much I have to carry.
20. What time do you get up and go to sleep?
My college timetable is all over the place, so it really depends when I have lessons, but I usually get up between 7:30 and 8:30. I'm really bad at lying in so even at the weekends I'm up by 9. I normally go to bed at 9:30, spend an hour or so on my iPod and then go to sleep.
21. How often and when do you work out?
I play badminton at county standard so I have regular physical training for that twice a week, as well as playing more casually twice a week. I also have free gym membership as I work at a gym so I try and make use of that at least once a week.
22. Left handed or right handed?
#leftiesforthewin
23. How tall are you?
5'10; I'm a bit of a giant.
24. Do you speak a foreign language?
I learnt German at GCSE but I'm certainly not fluent.
25. How many pets do you have?
None :(. I am desperate for a dog and have been for years now. I also really like cats but getting a dog will be my first priority when I move out!
26. How often are you on Blogger?
I use Bloglovin to read blog posts so I'm on that a couple of times a day. I use Blogger to write my posts so I'm on that a few times during to week to draft, check, edit and schedule posts.
27. Do you read the comments posted on blogs?
I'll read them if I'm looking at blog posts on my laptop but if I'm just on my phone I don't bother as it can be quite hard to scroll through them.
28. Do you keep a list of products to try as you see other blog posts?
I have a massive list of all the products I want, and then a much smaller list of ones that I 'need', and then usually a list of 4/5 essentials to buy the next time I'm out.
29. How did you come up with your blog name?
At the time I created my blog, I wore bows in my hair every day so that's where that bit came from. I still love bows now but I rarely wear them. And the beauty bit obviously comes from my love of makeup. The name 'bowsandbeauty' was already taken but I had fallen in love with it so I just put an 'x' on the end.
30. What kind of camera do you use for photographs?
I use my iPod touch camera. I did use my digital came for a couple of posts once but surprisingly the pictures weren't as higher quality so I've just stuck with my iPod. I am saving up for an DSLR so hopefully I'll be able to use that in a couple of months.
31. How often do you clean your house?
I live with my parents and my mum stays at home so she does most of the cleaning, but I tidy my room basically every day. I'm obsessed with tidiness.
32. What is your favourite colour?
Here's a new one for you: pastel turquoise. Kind of a mix between mint green and pastel blue, but not really. The closest I could find on Google was this picture of a nail varnish from thepastelaholic.com
33. What's your favourite beauty/fashion magazine?
There isn't really any magazines around that fit what I want from a magazine. If I really need one I usually go for Glamour but I'm not a massive fan.
34. Do you swear?
In all honesty, who doesn't?
35. What are you doing for the rest of the day?
I have training in a bit and then I'm having a quick shower so I'm ready in time for I'm A Celebrity.
And there we have it! I hope you enjoyed reading this post and I tag Anna (link here) Cristy (link here) and Georgia (link here) to do it next. Have fun girlies!
