Yay, another TAG! Thanks to Laura for this - it took me a while to figure out how to copy and paste on blogger, hence the delay... God I am so not technologically minded!
Make-up
1) On average, for application of your typical day-to-day work/college make up, how long do you spend?
Depends what shift I'm on - on an early shift I have to leave the house at 7am, so usually about two minutes just to put on mineral foundation, mascara and a lip gloss. On a late shift usually about ten minutes - might use liquid foundation and some blusher in addition to the above...
2) On average, for application of your going out/special make up, how long do you spend?
Anywhere up to an hour... it just depends on the look I'm trying to go for and how much time I have. If I have new hauls I'm more likely to take far longer fiddling about with new things lol...
3) If you were to be stranded on a dessert island, which 4 products would you want with you?
Total sunblock, factor 50 sunscreen, factor 40 sunscreen and factor 30 sunscreen - I am pale with blue eyes and burn like a lobster... I also hate the leather handbag look so would be hoping to avoid the aging effects of the sun whilst on the island...
4) What beauty 'must haves' do you always carry in your handbag?
A tin of vaseline lipcare, mac lip balm and a neutral lip gloss
5) Which drugstore brand would be your favourite?
Probably bourjois
6) High street or high end make up brands?
In makeup, definately high end - once you've had MAC you never go back lol!
Fashion
7) On average, how long does it take you to get dressed/select your day-to-day outfits?
Not long - I usually get work stuff ready the night before and if I'm off I just decide when I get up...
8) On average, how long does it take you to get ready for a special occasion/night out?
About two hours - shower and shave legs, moisturise, dress (I don't do fake tans - I've finally come to terms with being pale and I quite like looking a bit different to everyone else...) do hair, finally do makeup.
9) If you could only chose one item of clothing from your wardrobe, i.e jeans, which would be your favourite?
Would have to be jeans. Just for their ability to be dressed up or down...
10) What outfit gives you instant feel good factor?
A nice wrap over dress, with thick tights and knee high boots (either flat or wedge heel - I don't do grown up heels as I explained in an earlier tag - they just aren't worth the pain!)
11) Which shops do you favour?
I like Wallis and Next for classic stuff, but I usually get a lot from Primark. I am trying to lose weight and it seems like not a lot looks nice on me the size I currently am. I figure I might as well spend my money on cheaper clothes and cheer myself up with nice makeup instead... For special occasions I love Monsoon, and their clothes seem to fit really well...
12) High street or high end clothes?
High street all the way
Thanks again for such a great tag Laura, I love these, really good fun way of finding things out about each other and new products

Hey hun :) Glad you liked my tag, I really enjoyed thinking up the questions! Love your responses, I particularly agree with you on the 'oh to hell with fake tan, let's embrace the pale'!!! I'm going to post my answers on my blog tomorrow probably, had a few requests for them!
Hope you enjoyed New Years x x x
Quick question for you...how did you get into your job? It fascinates me, and I'd love to do something more worthwile than a PA job! Is it hard to do, get into etc etc? x x x
Well I got interested in psychiatry when I was studying medicine... I then realised medicine wasn't for me and took time off studying, and worked as a support worker in the community for a while. I then applied to do nursing, specialising in mental health. As I already had a degree I was able to do an accelerated course so I trained in two years rather than three which is the normal time...
It's a challenging job but there are lots of different areas you can work in - wards, forensics (ie secure services ranging from places like Ashworth down to psyciatric intensive care units - these involve working with a lot of violence and aggression ie restraining and secluding people a lot. I did my first job on a ward like this, and would rather not work in forensics - it's not for everyone!), community, drug rehab, elderly etc etc. I currently work in a home treatment team which aims to keep people who are acutely unwell at home rather than having them admitted to hospital...
I enjoy my job a lot although it can be stress ful sometimes, I think this gets better with experience - I've only been qualified a couple of years.
Hope this helps - just let me know if you have any more questions about it!

Thanks for replying :)
Wow...what an insight into it all, it sounds like a lot of hard work, but really rewarding and such a good thing to do.
This might sound really weird but my bf and I like exploring old abandoned buildings (another whole community on the www!), and I love hospitals/asylums...they are full of sadness and unspoken memories though (not just because they are derelict and forgotten), but it's got me to thinking I would love to do a job where I can do my best to help people, give something back to the world if you know what I mean?!
I have a degree in Sociology and Social Policy, do you think there would be a way I could get into it?
x x x
I would say so - some of the people on my course had fairly unrelated degrees - eg journalism/media/law and they did fine. You could try to do some voluntary work maybe and see if you like it. You could also maybe try to get onto a support worker agency and try to do a few shifts on a psychiatric unit or in the community or something - there are loads of them in the yellow pages. I'm not sure which uni's run the short course I did - I studied at sheffield university. Try sending off to a few local uni's and get a few prospectuses and take it from there...
By the way, I don't think you are wierd at all lol. I used to work in a nursing home when I was still at school and it was half wmpty. Lets just say the empty part was very atmospheric!
Oh yeah, the other thing you could do, if you are not sure about mental health would be to start a general nursing three year course, in the first year you get to try the four main types of nursing - ie general, paediatric (child), mental and learning disability. You could then decide which I right for you and specialise in the second and third years...
Hope this helps, but ask me any more questions you want about it!
