Hey lovelies,

Today I am posting about the Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award! I am so flattered and grateful that Milli Liza nominated and linked me to her post. Follow the link I’ve put in her name to see her blog! The Sisterhood of the World Bloggers award recognizes the unique voices of women bloggers around the world.

Here are the rules:

  • Thank and link the blogger who nominated you.
  • Answer the 10 questions your nominator has provided.
  • Nominate 10 other bloggers.
  • Create 10 questions for your nominees and notify them of their nomination.

My Questions-

1. what’s your dream job and why?

I would love to do anything artistic and make a little money doing so. I love painting, drawing, and creating in general. They don’t call them “starving artists” for nothing though.

2.If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would it be?

I’ve been to one of dream cities, Paris. I do want to travel through Ireland with just a camera and a backpack.

3.Would you rather only ever use mascara or only ever use concealer?

I will say concealer. I have said this a million times, but concealer takes me from Tim Burton character to normal human being in less than a minute.

4.What’s the best beauty advice you have ever been given?

“Makeup is fun. Do whatever you want, but make sure it’s for you.”

5. what’s your favourite high street clothes store?

High street? I live on broke street. I like Forever 21.

6. what does your typical spa night include?

A glass of wine and a book. I’m usually too tired for much else. Is Netflix a spa?

7. sweet or savoury?

I would say savoury. I don’t eat too many sweet things.

8.what’s your favourite thing about blogging?

The community! I’ve made a few friends blogging and I truly love finding supportive and empowering people. I have loved reading about people’s lives and their journeys. I love everything about blogging, honestly.

9. who’s your biggest inspiration?

My mother. If I can become half the parent and woman she is, I will feel satisfied with my life. Maybe that’s cliche, but I am very close to my mom. She had 3 kids by the time she was 19 years old and since then has been an incredible mother, wife, and now has a blossoming career. She is incredibly strong and beautiful in every sense.

10. If you could only ever listen to one song, what would it be?

This is too hard. Can I pass? I’m gonna pass. This question made my heart hurt haha.

My questions to the nominees:

1. What book do you find yourself reaching for over and over?

2. If you could only wear one brand of lipstick for the rest of your life, what brand would you choose?

3. What types of music inspire you?

4. What are some of your favorite blogs?

5. Why did you start blogging?

The Instagram Tag

/ Kayla Hutchison / 7 Comments

IMG_7792

Hey lovelies,

Today I have a tag post! I haven’t done one of these in a bit, and this was sitting in my drafts and it looks fun! I don’t think anyone tagged me to do this, but I wanted to do it anyway. Instagram is probably my favorite social media platform. I’m a very visual person, and I feel that I can learn a lot about people solely based on the pictures they take and display on the internet. If you pay close attention, you can probably find out what someone loves, even if they only post product flatlays.

What’s in their flatlay? A cup of coffee? What magazine or book are they reading? If you follow me on Instagram already, you’ll notice that I typically have some sort of flower and/or pearls in my flatlays. It’s my own vintage touch. I use a lot of reds, black, and neutrals in my photos, and I know that transcends into blog posts and personality. Just something to ponder next time you’re aimlessly scrolling on Instagram.

1. What’s your Instagram name?

Lunafayebeauty

I obviously have a #brand going on with my blog name now haha

2. How many people do you follow?

294

3. How many followers do you have?

722

4. What are your favourite hashtags?

#beautyblogger This one is a favorite for obvious reasons. I really love scouring the photos of fellow bloggers and finding inspiration myself and neat things to read!

#dupethat I’m a diva on a budget and I really love some of the dupes I have found through this hashtag.

#trendmood This hashtag is where I drool over all the new makeup releases and upcoming releases. My bank account hates this hashtag.

#kittens Because…cats.

#huskies Because…puppies.

5. What is your favourite genre of pictures?

Oh, I love pictures of all sorts. I love photos of kids, flatlays of makeup and beauty products, pets…

I really love getting peaks into others lives and interests.

6. How often do you post?

I try to post once a day or once every few days. Most of the photos on my instagram are just makeup pictures that I love to take 🙂

7. How often do you check Instagram?

Pretty often, to be honest. My longest times on Instagram are in the morning and when I go to bed, but I also check it every time Piper nurses.

Breastfeeding sessions = shameless Instagram scrolling times

8. What’s your favourite filter?

I actually don’t use filters often. I tend to brighten my photos through Afterlight. If I do use a filter it’s Aden, and even then I tone it down quite a bit. I’m a bit more simple with my lighting and posts, normally.

9. iPhone only, purist or rebel?

…wut? Most of my Instagram photos are from my iPhone if that’s what this question is about.

That’s it for today’s tag post! I’m not going to tag anyone in particular, because I want to see everyone’s Instagram tag posts!

If you want to follow me, please do so, and make sure to let me know so I can follow you back! Also, if you do this post please make sure to link it so I can go read yours!

Thank you for reading, and I hope you’re all having lovely days!

The Blush Addict Tag

/ Kayla Hutchison / 10 Comments

IMG_6803

Hey lovelies,

Today I have a tag post regarding one of my favorite things to collect and hoard…blushes! I saw this tag on Katie’s page at Plus+ Beauty and knew I had to do this one.

I can’t leave the house with my brows and my blush. I’m super fair, so a bit of color in my cheeks livens my face up a bit and makes me look more awake. I mean, I guess I could do the “cheek pinching” trick, but there’s something about pinching my own cheeks that brings back bad family reunion memories *shudders*

Anyway, on to the questions.

What color blush suits your most?
I feel like cool toned pinks and light peachy nude shades suite me the most.

Pressed, cream or loose blush?
I’ve honestly never cared much for loose blush, and I’m just now dabbling into cream blushes unless you consider Colourpop blushes to be a cream. Most of my collection is pressed.

Favorite shimmery blush?
IMG_4926

Probably my CityColor Cosmetics Baked blushes. They are soooo pretty and pigmented.

Favorite matte blush?
IMG_6804

Kat Von D Everlasting blush in “essex.” It’s such a pretty deep rose shade and is my go to blush in the fall and winter.

Favorite cream blush?
IMG_6806

Colourpop blushes are a very “cream to powder” texture, so I will say them. I really love these blushes. They’re bouncy and pigmented. They’re also very affordable! However, I have been trying a cream blush from Becca that I got off of glambot, and so far I am really impressed by it! I will update on that later!

Favorite drugstore blush?
IMG_6805

This was a bit hard for me because I love Milani blushes, but I also reach for my pearlescent pink by Wet n Wild more than any other blush in my collection. I feel like these blushes need more attention in the blogging world. They’re awesome for the price!

Favorite high end blush?
IMG_6802

My Kat Von D everlasting blushes. These really do last forevvvver on my skin and it doesn’t take much at all. That and the packaging is absolutely stunning. So worth the $25. There’s a reason why so many shades of these are constantly sold out on sephora.com

Biggest blush disappointment?
Probably the elf studio line blushes. Everyone raves about those blushes and I just find them to be underwhelming and they don’t last long on my skin. I do like the $5 mineral line blushes by elf though.

Best blush packaging?
I would have to say the Milani Rose blush packaging or the Too Faced blushing hearts packaging. Both are so cute and end up in so many of my blog photos.

What’s on your blush wishlist?
More Colourpop blushes and more Nyx HD blushes

Holy grail blush?
I guess I would say my Wet n Wild “pearlescent pink” blush because it’s my “go to” but I don’t have one that I love way more than any other. “Love Song” by Kat Von D has been my go to Spring color though along with Nyx’s “Dusty Rose.”
I just really really love blush.

That was it for my blush addict tag! I’m not going to tag anyone in this, so if you want to do it, do it! I would love to see your answers and pictures of your blush stashes if you include them. What are some of your favorite blushes?

I hope you’re all having wonderful days! Later, lovelies.

Questions

1. What’s your favorite lip product – like ever!!

I am obsessed with matte liquid lipsticks. I own so many and from a lot of different brands. I like how I can apply them and not think too much about how they’re going to look in an hour. They don’t get on my teeth and I really love how matte lipstick looks.

2. If you could live anywhere in the world… Where would it be?

I don’t really have one haha. I wear a lot of things from Forever 21 and Rue 21, but I’m a jeans and tee kind of gal.

I have a lot of favorite movies. Some of the ones I mention a lot are Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Donnie Darko, and Black Swan.

6. Do You have a pet?

I have a siberian husky and maine coon kitty.

I don’t wear a lot of perfume, but I love “Scandolous” by Victoria’s Secret and “Sinner” by Kat Von D (even though it’s discontinued! my heart is BROKEN)
