15 random facts ? Oh yea.

 (Picture by : Coolayo)

Hi Gorgeous readers!

Just to let you know. I've been trying to record and publish a video on Youtube recently since I got a pretty good camera ( got meaning borrowed from my brother here! ), but I keep failing. I'll try again to make it work, but it's hard! Editing and stuff.. By brain hurts just from writing those words.

Annnnnyway.

FunnyFace Beauty, aka Alicia, posted a 15 random facts about herself recently and since it was quite an interesting post, I'll try to find 15 things that may interest you, or may not, I've only been on earth for 17 ( and a half ) years, keep that it mind!

Here we go ...

1. When I was younger, maybe 7 or 8 years ago, I started a really huge obsession about Sponge Bob. I had stuff with him all over. Pajamas, school bags, posters, stuffed animals, etc etc. I was known to be "the Sponge Bob Freak " and even started my own fan club. That obsession lasted 5 or 6 years.

2. I have a hard time doing super elementery things, such as knowing instantly my left and my right and read time on non-digital clocks. That doesn't make me a dumb person, right?

3. I used to be very crafty. When I was younger, I was drawing all the time, painting, glueing things on other things, etc etc. I also had a love affair when I discovered scotch tape. That thing has been taken away from me by teachers a lot at school! I also used to be good at origami.

4. Some of you might be tired of hearing this, but my main language is French ( from Quebec, and no, it's not like French from France.. There's a lot of similarities, of course, but it's really different still ). That being said, the educational system in Canada make you learn the 2 national languages ( french & english ). I started learning english when I was 7 or 8 years old, learning a little bit of grammar and verbs.. Saying the usual Lea goes to school and all, but still, most of the people who speak french here have a really hard time with english ( surely vice versa ). The way that I got to learn english is by myself, with the help of the Youtube beauty community. I still to mistakes ( a lot xD ) but I can communicate, and I'm proud of it :)

5. I was raised with my mom, my dad and my also my two brothers. We used to not being really close ( that might be explained by the fact that we are 10 and 11 years apart ) but as of today, we are actually close, and I cherish that relationship.

6. Through my life, I had a cat ( that we gave to my aunt because my mom turned out to be allergic ), a fish ( a beta, and he lived for 4 years ), a dog ( which is now 5 years old :D ) and a hamster ( wish is a year old now ).

7. I hate hate hate when others take pictures of me. I'm far from the perfect body and I have troubles accepting myself. I developped a way to take pictures of myself which doesn't make me look as hubby as I truely am and those are the only pictures that I accept of myself. (that's a sad fact.. )

8. On a funnier note, I can put both of my ankle behind my neck. And I can also "fold" myself in half. And I will NOT include pictures xD

9. I am a little weird about things sometime, like hitting the stop button of the microwave when there's one second left or having the toilet paper going the right way... Anyone else do little weird things like that?

10. Before I discovered the make up universe, I was a super tomboy. That was 3 years ago.. xD

11. I hate to shop for clothes. I usually live in jeans or sweatpants and t-shirts. Actually, when I found a type of t-shirt that I like, I buy it in every color. I don't have "cute stuff" and I am super okay with that!

12. People hate to sleep ( like sleep overs.. no twisted minds here!! ) with me because I move a lot and also "fold" myself ( that how I loooove to sleep  :D ). I also use to be a really bad sleepwalker, putting myself in the bathtub, closet or just fall back asleep in the hallway. My parents were so used to it that they were just helping myself walking to the bottom part of my bed ( not the sides.. the part where your feet should be ) and just push me right back in.

13. At my prom, there was a thing that EACH person got an award for something.. And I got the gossip girl one.. You can get your own conclusion for that...

14. I never got any broken bones but being really clumsy I did a lot of damage to myself xD When I was maybe 8, I ask a friend if I could try his BMX... And I was going pretty fast and had the great idea to press the break. His being reverse, I break with the front wheel, passed over the bike, flew for a couples meters and scratch one side of my face and one leg pretty bad.. I also drop down my high school stairs one day and open my knee ( three years ago ) and still have the mark ( I guess that it's now a scar ). It's seriously huge like.. a MAC blush ... But anyway.. out of every injures I got, the most painfull thing that happened to be was 11 months ago, when I got my tonsils removed. When I was 5 minutes away from the actual intervention, my mom told be that to her, it was worst than giving birth if that can give you an idea of how it feels.. Serious most pain I ever felt.. and it lasted two full weeks.

15. It took me 2 days to came up with 15 slightly interesting things about myself. Ohhh well!





I hope you had a little fun learning things about me  :D I'll have other post comming, don't worry! I just really tr to understand how to make the camera thiny work.. It's hard!!

Thanks for reading ! :)

Beauty Tag ! :D ( Tagged by FunnyFace Beauty )

Hello :)

I was tagged by the sweet Alicia from FunnyFace Beauty today to do this simple but fun tag! I really don't have people to tag since I don't really ''talk'' with other blogger yet, Alicia being my first real contact in the lovely beauty community ( Thank you by the way :D). So you can do this tag if you want, and leave your blog down here for me to see it ! 

Here I go :

What's your favorite make up look? 

If we talk about the one that I wear the most, it would be the simple neutral eye, with a light lid color, a light brown in the crease and a well highlighted browbone with a pop one bright color on the lower lash line. It could be blue, green, purple or really anything, I love the effect it gives. If we talk about my favorite one to take my time and do, it would be a sexy smokey eye ( not just black ) with a nude lip and a close to flawless face ( that's hard to do with my rebel teen skin ).

Do you have a beauty vice? 

Oh, eye shadows. It's the make up product I wear and enjoy the most :) I like to buy a ton of them, having the different colors and be creative with them.. L.O.V.E. It's surely the first ( exept for liner and mascara ) beauty item that I used. 

What part of your body do you love? 

My eyes. I love their almond shape and the color of them, which is a light brown with green and gold reflects. I also like to put make up around them to accentuate them more :) I hate most parts of my body except for them.

Who is your beauty icon? 

I have to have a similar answer to Alicia here. I like the Kardashians and Bobbi Brown ( I recently bought a book from her.. Sooo great :) ). I also like some pretty beauty gurus.. To mention one, I can't get enough of Tiffany D eye lashes and liner. It always look great!

What beauty product makes you feel instantly good?

Liquid or gel liner on my top lash line with a wing and mascara. I feel uncomfortable not wearing AT LEAST those to items. I also love to put lipbalm on when my lips feel awful, it makes me feel good. :)

How do you look after your skin? 

Being young, I'm having a lot of issues with my skin and hormones and all those stuff. I usually exfoliate once a week with the St. Ives Apricot Scrub, I wash my face daily with Cetaphil gentle skin cleanser and Clean and Clear Morning Burst Shine Control Facial Cleanser and I try to moisturize, but it makes my skin feel all greasy.. And if I don't, my skin become all dry. Ahh, the joy of untamed skin :)

What is your signature scent?

I only have body splashes at this moments.. I'm young and poor :) If  had to pick one, it would be the Dove Go Fresh body mist in Revive, which is the pomagrnate and lemon verbena one. It is my everyday one.

What are your hair care secrets?

Fast like that I would say washing them and letting them dry naturally. I don't really use products in them other than shampoo and conditionner from the drugstore ( I KNOW :O ). They are naturally full of volume and curly. :)

How do you pamper yourself?

It might sound like older than my age to say this, but sitting in a hot bath full of lush goodness with a good book and my iPod ( don't worry, I have one of those bath wooden shelf thingy that I put my iPod and book on.. :D ). Just after I like to do a face mask again, with the book and the music and stay in my jammies all day long :)

What is your beauty pet peeve?

Oh my god. I have a lot of those, you should ask my boyfriend.. When we are walking around downt

own I can't help it.. I need to say every beauty crime that we pass by ( not to the actual people, to him, I'm not mean enough to say such things to strangers. To a friend I would tho, I don't want them to look like clowns! ). There's the unmatching foundation, the overdone blush, the half-way eyeliner ( not from middle-out .. from in to middle.. that grosses me out ), the dark lipliner around the lips topped with gloss, the creasing unblended uneven shadow, the over botoxed face, the weird bronzer.. and I can go on and on forever :) ( I'm not perfect, I know.. but sometimes it seems like people are giving all of themselves to look bad.. )

What would your desert island must haves be?

If I take the question like Alicia , it would be my beauty must. I would definatly have a good face sunscreen ( I went to the Six Flags park sunday, my face is awefully sunburned, it hurts and now breakout like crazy ), then waterproof mascara, eyeliner, lip balm and.. a bathing suit :)

Finally, do you have a beauty philosophy?

I like this one : '' Good nature will always supply the absence of beauty; but beauty cannot supply the absence of good nature. '' It is so true. There not much things worst than a beautiful bitch. I would rather be with a less pretty but oh so nice girl than the bitchy pretty princess. 

That's all guys! And again, thanks to Alicia who tagged me ! :)

Thanks for reading!
