So I haven't blogged in a long time thanks to summer school exams/assignments. But now that I finally have time, I can finally catch up on them. I've got quite a few reviews waiting to be posted but I need time to transfer the pictures to my computer so until then, I hope this Get to Know Me tag from the lovely Mikki over at
Mademoiselle Mikki (check hers out
HERE) will satisfy you in the meantime!
1. Is your hair naturally curly or straight?
It's really somewhere in the middle. It does its own thing everyday.
2. Do you dye it yourself or go to a salon?
I dye my own hair for the most part unless I want to drastically change the color or do highlights/lowlights.
3. Do you wear the same style everyday, or do you change it?
I wear my hair down pretty much everyday or put it up in a ponytail/bun if I'm working/studying. Nothing too fancy but I will curl my hair and spend time on it if I'm going out somewhere at night.
4. Do you do your own mani/pedi or go to a salon?
I do my own. I live in a city where mani/pedi is quite expensive and as a student who's broke and also obsessed with make-up, I can't really afford going to a salon, sadly.
5. How often do you change your nail polish?
Usually when I notice it chipping or when my nails are in a need of a trim.
6. Do you polish your toes in the winter or just the summer?
Mainly just in the summer but I'm trying to do it year-round! I just get so lazy during the winter haha.
7. How long does it take for you to put on makeup?
On average about 15 minutes but that's only because I get distracted by YouTube very easily.
8. What do you do first? Face or eyes?
Definitely, face. Eyes are the last things I touch.
10. How often do you wear false eyelashes?
Never. Too scared to try them on. Long live volumizing mascara haha
11. Do you do a full face of makeup everyday?
During the school year, yes. If I don't, it means I'm feeling sick or it's the weekend and I'm not leaving my house. I have some days (esp. during the summer) where I don't put any make up on because I need to give my skin a breather in between because of the heat and humidity.
12. Do you wear makeup when you're home alone or with family?
Not really.
13. Will you leave the house without makeup?
That's happened maybe 5% of all the times I've left my house? I usually don't because my skin needs foundation to even it out so if I'm really in a hurry, I will only put that on. But if I'm sick, well, any feelings of looking decent go down the gutter lol.
14. How many high-end products do you have?
Quite a few. Most of the regular items I use are Urban Decay and MAC. MAC dominates in terms of foundation and eyeshadows but I also use the UD Naked palette frequently and the primer potion.
15. Do you plan your OOTD every night or decide when you're getting dressed?
When I'm getting dressed. I change my mind like a million times so there's no point in ever pre-picking an OOTD.
16. How often do you change your handbag?
Depends on what I'll be doing for the day. I have two main handbags I use: a small tote-type crossbody handbag from H&M and a Coach crossbody bag that fits my phone and wallet only. I use my Coach bag if I'm just carrying my phone + wallet but my H&M bag for anything more than that.
17. What time do you wake up and go to sleep?
Recently, I've been going to sleep around 2:00-2:30am and waking up at 10am since it's summer but once school starts in a couple of weeks, I'll be waking up much earlier and going to sleep much earlier as well (probably 11:30pm-6:30am)
18. How often or when do you workout?
Rarely as of late but I am joining CrossFit at my university in a month once school starts!
19. Left handed or right handed?
Right-handed!
20. How tall are you?
5'4"
21. Do you speak any foreign languages?
Yep: Hindi and Gujarati.
22. How many pets do you have?
None, sadly.
23. How often are you on Blogger?
I'm on it once a week usually. I haven't been on it much lately thanks to summer school but now that I have more time, I will be on it more. I do read all the blogs I'm following through Bloglovin' so I do that more frequently.
24. Do you read comments posted on blogs?
Always if it's my blog and sometimes on other blogs. That depends on what the post was about.
25. Do you keep a list of products to try as you see other posts?
Yep!
26. How did you come up with your blog name?
Well I really wanted to name it Crown and Glory and then realized that it's also the name of a well-known accessories brand based in the UK so I changed it to Pearl and Glory instead. The Pearl part is rather fitting actually because pearl earrings are my signature accessory item.
27. What kind of camera do you use for your photographs?
Plain old Sony Cybershot DW230. Occasionally, I will use the camera on my Samsung S3 since it gives me better pictures than the Sony.
28. How often do you clean your house?
Rarely, by my initiative. More often if I'm forced to by my parents. Which happens a lot.
29. What's your favorite color?
Dark red.
30. Do you swear?
Yes, but only if I'm really angry.
31. What are you doing with the rest of your day?
Well it's about 2:20am right now so I'm just going off to sleep :)
Well that's it! I hope this is good enough for now. I do have a list of other blog posts I will be putting up in the next couple of weeks so let's celebrate for getting back to regular posting and the end of my summer school!!
