What's the craziest shade you've ever dyed your hair? never experimented with anything out of the norm, I'm boring! lolWhat's the one part of your beauty routine that you NEVER skip? wash my face and brush my teeth. I have ridiculously oily skin, so I can't skip that.

What does H wear for cologne/aftershave? Kenneth Cole Reaction. Love it!
Is that your natural hair color? If not, what is? It's pretty close to my natural hair color.
What's the craziest shade you've ever dyed your hair? I dyed it platinum blonde in high school and had some blue streaks. Oh, I also tried doing that again when I was in college (in the dorm bathroom by myself ... and I had black hair at the time). Yeah, it turned out an orangey-red color. I kept it that way for a little while because I thought, at the time, that it looked kind of cool, only now that I look back at it, it totally did not. It was a mess
What's the one part of your beauty routine that you NEVER skip? I dont have a "strict" routine right now, but I'd say brushing my teeth and washing my face.
What makeup do you wear every day? I dont wear makeup everyday (I work from home) - when I do go out of the house for a casual dinner or "day to day" activities I wear bare minerals foundation, light eye shadow, mascara and nude lip balm/lip gloss.
What makeup do you wear "for special occasions"? For special occasions I add some blush or bronzer (depending on the season), and eyeliner on my upper lids, usually a little darker shadow, and a fancier lip gloss.
What's your favorite perfume? My favorite is J'adore by Dior (I keep this one for special occasions), for daily use I have Acqua Di Gioia that my BIL gave me for xmas.
What does H wear for cologne/aftershave? He doesnt typically use after shave, but his "go to" cologne is Burberry Weekender
Is that your natural hair color? If not, what is? No, it was until a month or so before the wedding when I realized how much I hate how dull and unflattering my natural hair color is, so I dyed it blonde for the wedding and have kept it blonde ever since. My natural hair color is a dirty blonde/light brown with reddish highlights when I'm in the sun.
What's the craziest shade you've ever dyed your hair? One time I tried dying it a darker brown from a box at home and it came out black...HUGE mistake - I spent the next day trying to find a salon to fix it, at the end of the day I swore off DIY hair color and stick to the salon.

What's the one part of your beauty routine that you NEVER skip?
Makeup foundation and brushing teeth. If I leave the house - I'm put together. I'm a nut that way.
What makeup do you wear every day? Mineral foundation but must absolutely have black cat eye-eyeliner. And more often than not, red/pink lippy.
What makeup do you wear "for special occasions"? Same as everyday but maybe more eyeshadow and false lashes. I am a fiend for make-up.
What's your favorite perfume? Chanel Chance or this french Ete that I bought years ago and can no longer find.
What does H wear for cologne/aftershave? rarely and I point out how lovely it is every time.
Is that your natural hair color? If not, what is? Ummm Don't remember what it actually is. I'm very grey, have racing stripes on the sides with mousy brown hair that used to turn auburn in the summers. For now it is dark brown.
What's the craziest shade you've ever dyed your hair?Everything you can think of. I've had Pink, Purple, Green. Blue streaks. Blonde (awful!), red, magenta orange. I hate haircuts - but I love haircolor. I think I am getting too old to pull the crazy ones off though.What's the one part of your beauty routine that you NEVER skip? At least rinsing my face off... usually with cleanser, but in a pinch, just a quick rinse
What makeup do you wear every day? mascara, eyebrow pencil (mine are super light), a little eye shadow in natural tons

What's your favorite perfume? Vera Wang Princess
What does H wear for cologne/aftershave? Sometimes... I keep buying them for him, and he only wears them on special occasions. He has about ten different ones, and I always complement him when he wears some, but that's pretty rare.
Is that your natural hair color? If not, what is? Yep! I haven't dyed it since high school
What's the craziest shade you've ever dyed your hair? In high school, at the very end of my senior year, I cut my hair short - I went from below my shoulders to above my ears. And I went really light blond... it was fun, but hard for me to style because I have some waves but not enough to wear it wavy, and I was always trying to tame it so it looked polished, but it wasn't a polished cut. Looking back, I could have had some real fun with that hairstyle... oh well.
What's the one part of your beauty routine that you NEVER skip? Face cleansing.
What makeup do you wear every day? I am a dork and didn't really learn how to put make-up on until way after most women do, but now that I sort of "get it" haha, I almost always wear some kind of foundation (usually the light, powdery mineral kind). I have bad skin (acne etc), so it needs that evening out.
What makeup do you wear "for special occasions"? Eye-liner. Actually, I am wearing that more on a daily basis now, but it's a definite "must" for special occasions.
What's your favorite perfume? Don't really like perfume (I am prob allergic). I do like things that smell light and citrus-y though.
What does H wear for cologne/aftershave? Not sure, but it smells nice and light!
Is that your natural hair color? If not, what is? My hair is technically the lightest shade of brown (according to my stylist), which means it highlights well. So I keep it highlighted blond year-round, with extra brightness in the summer and low-lights for the winter.
What's the craziest shade you've ever dyed your hair? Not very exciting haha... I once dyed it a strawberry blond. Very pretty, natural color.What's the one part of your beauty routine that you NEVER skip? Moisturizer.
What makeup do you wear every day? Eyeliner.
What makeup do you wear "for special occasions"? Blusher and eyeshadow.
What's your favorite perfume? DKNY Be Delicious and Be Delicious Blossom
What does H wear for cologne/aftershave? He wears Axe.
Is that your natural hair color? If not, what is? Yes, finally.
What's the craziest shade you've ever dyed your hair? Purple! For the play I was in when I met H.Books read in 2012: 21/50
What's the one part of your beauty routine that you NEVER skip? I rarely skip anything, unless it's 4:00 am or I'm on a plane or really sick. The thing I would most likely do less with is my hair. And I do A LOT in my daily routine.
What makeup do you wear every day? I pretty much wear full makeup even to go to the gym or at home: oil absorbing base/powder, eyeliner, mascara, lipliner, lipstick/gloss. Then as needed: concealer for the undereye circles I'm prone to, and if my brows are messy I powder and/or gel them into shape.
What makeup do you wear "for special occasions"? I add eyeshadow and maybe blush to the daily stuff and use more of everything and more noticeable colors.
What's your favorite perfume? Hermes 24 Faubourg is my most favorite and the scent I feel is most "me," but I also wear Issey Miyake l'eau d'Issey (mostly for warm weather), Bulgari Voile de Jasmin, Dior J'adore, and Burberry Brit. Um, can you tell I like cosmetics?
What does H wear for cologne/aftershave? Armani, but not all the time.
Is that your natural hair color? If not, what is? My natural color has a little more variation and is less red. The dark part is the same color (dark brown), but my natural highlights have become a bland light brown color.
What's the craziest shade you've ever dyed your hair? I once got really red highlights. I didn't think it suited me. I once tried dying my hair purple at home in junior high. I put it over my brown hair, so it just looked slightly darker.What's the one part of your beauty routine that you NEVER skip? Of course hygiene takes the top spot, but besides that moisturizer. I have very dry skin so I have to do a generous application.
What makeup do you wear every day? Estee Lauder concealer, True Match powder, eye shadow, blush, mascara.
What makeup do you wear "for special occasions"? I addition to the above Smashbox photofinish primer, foundation, and a little heavier on the eyes plus lip gloss.
What's your favorite perfume? Light Blue by Dolce & Gabana
What does H wear for cologne/aftershave? He doesn't really wear any.
Is that your natural hair color? If not, what is? Nope. I'm brunette with lots of premature gray (thanks to BOTH of my parents). I highlight it blonde to help mask it.
What's the craziest shade you've ever dyed your hair? I went to a place several years ago and asked for a light brown & my hair came out orange. Bonus: it was right around halloween.oh man, here goes...
What's the one part of your beauty routine that you NEVER skip? I guess just washing my face mornings and evenings - oh, and teeth of course
What makeup do you wear every day? Just face hydration cream and primer(I suppose that's also something I never skip). Frequently I wear a light eyeshadow and mascara. Occasionally I do everything.
What makeup do you wear "for special occasions"? Foundation (so bad for my skin), blush, and eyeliner under my eyes (I wear above the eyes more frequently)
What's your favorite perfume? Burbury
What does H wear for cologne/aftershave? Burbury
Is that your natural hair color? If not, what is? Yes, dark brown. Well, I currently have some highlights in, although they are barely noticeable because it's this store bought "shine" hair dye thing, where in different lighting it could look like I have different shades of brown going on in my hair....hard to explain, lol.
What's the craziest shade you've ever dyed your hair?Redish orange. Ugh, I was in high school and I actually dared to wear a red dress to homecoming with this. *facepalm*Married 11/6/10
