Get to know me! Q&A

So, I asked a week ago or so for questions so I could do a Q&A blog post. I always love getting to know everyone that I follow on youtube, IG, blogs, etc so I figured I would share a few things about me. 

First of all, I am Emily. I am 25 years old. I am married to my high school sweetheart, we've been together since 2004, and married since 2008. I was 19 when I got married, so yes, I married young. My husband and I have 2 beautiful little girls together. They are Irish twins (A was born July 2008, J was born June 2009) so for 2 months out of the year, I have 2 little girls that are the same age. This year, I will have two 5 year olds. We own our home in the same city where I grew up. We also just welcomed a new fur baby into our lives. In addition to our dog, Morocco who is a German Shorthaired Pointer, we have a cat named Kona. I suffer from anxiety and, while I am shy when I first meet someone, I am very outgoing when I open up to someone. 

And now, for the questions from Instagram!

• How did you get into makeup? How did you get started in blogging?
I got a very late start for both wearing makeup and getting really interested into it. I was 20/21 when I first started wearing makeup. When I turned 22, I discovered youtube, and the amazing beauty community that it held. From then on, I became obsessed we everything makeup, and 3 years later, I'm still just as obsessed, if not more, the. I was before. I love learning about new trends, new products, trying out new things and reviewing kings to help other girls!

• What are four products you CAN'T live without?
This is possibly the hardest question ever. First off, I'd have to say my Tangle Teezer. It makes brushing my hair so simple and doesn't pull and break the strands of hair. It's meant to be used while wet, which is when I do the majority of my hair brushing. Next would have to be my Nars Radiant Creamy concealer. I am obsessed with this concealer and how creamy it is, and how much coverage it gives. It's pricey, but I seriously haven't found a concealer that I love that much. Next is my Urban Decay Naked palette. Yes, it's pricey but I seriously love it so much and can create so many gorgeous looks with it. Finally, is a newer purchase but I love it SO much..it the Milani Eyeshados Primer. It works so so much better than the Urban Decay primers. And it is a fraction of the price. 

• Where are you from?
I am from a little bit south of Boston, MA. Yes, I'm a Masshole and proud of it!

• How did you get your self confidence?
My confidence really started with how I was raised. I was raised to not like anyone push me around, and I stand up for myself and for whatever I believe in. Sometimes that gets twisted and I'm cLled a bitch, which I can be, but I am very strong willed and my confidence comes from inside. I know who I am, and that is all the matters. 

• What are you favorite and least favorite makeup brands?
My favorite makeup brand would have to be either Revlon or Covergirl but I don't think I really have a least favorite brand. Every brand I've tried has something good, and something not so good. 

• What is your go to lipstick brand?
I always seem to go for Revlon lip products.

• Do you follow any trends or march to your own beat?
I don't really do either of those. I'm very much a jeans and t shirt kind of girl. My makeup is usually always natural looking and I'm very laid back style wise. 

• How often do you deep clean your brushes?
I probably don't do it as often as I should.... Usually do it once every 2 weeks or so. Like I said, not as often as I should.....

• If you had to depend on one brand for everything, which would you choose? (Color cosmetics, primers, nail color)
Oh, that's difficult. I would have to say Revlon. They have the most variety and have very good products and their nail products are pretty decent as well. 

• Do you plan on having any more kids?
Oh, if I had a dollar for every time I've been asked this question, I would be a millionaire. We are very undecided on if we will have another child. I had a difficult pregnancy with my youngest, and she was a difficult baby, so I'm still pretty wound up from that. I'm only 25 though, so I still have time to figure out if I want more kids. Will it be any time soon? Probably not..but who knows that the future holds for us.
