Confessions of a Guest Blogger (#4): Featuring Carina from Fictional Distraction

Ok so welcome to Confessions of a Guest Blogger. This will be a monthly feature held here at Book Passion for Life; where we'll contact our fellow bloggers to see if they would like to do a guest post and confess a guilty pleasure, secret, secret crush, a crush on a certain celebrity that is oh so wrong but so right!


So today, for our guest post we have one of our good friends and blogger Carina from Fictional Distraction and she is confessing to her obsession in makeup. So here she is with her confession:

I am obsessed. And yes, we all know by now that I’m obsessed with books. That’s why I want to talk with you about another guilty pleasure I’m often indulging in: nail polish. Eye shadow. Lipsticks. Mascara. Basically every sort of cosmetics I can find.

It started a few years ago with watching YouTube videos of girls who showed me how to use more than one eye shadow color to make my eyes appear larger and brighter. They taught me how to find the right products for myself and how to use them without looking like a little girl playing dress up.

And I loved wandering through drugstores and perfumeries, buying new cosmetic products, trying new brands and spending my time experimenting. I actually even had a beauty blog for a few weeks, but it wasn’t for me in the long run – unlike book blogging.

The most interesting fact though is that watching beauty videos brought me back to my love of books and into the book blogging world. A girl on YouTube, who is also part of a quite famous German beauty blog, once posted a video talking about a new book series she read. It was the Sookie Stackhouse series.

I was intrigued immediately, bought those books and loved them. After that I wanted to watch more book reviews on YouTube and somehow ended up watching an “In My Mailbox” video which, in return, brought me to The Story Siren. The rest is history – I fell in love with book blogs, with YA novels and finally decided to start my own blog.

But I still love to spend my money on cosmetics, provided my book obsession is not eating up all of my income. My favorite product to buy is nail polish (as you can see in the picture, which I took myself) and for more than a year there has not been one day for me without any nail polish on my nails!

That's a pretty much a girl thing for all of us to go out and buy as much cosmetics as we possibly can. I know I sometimes spend a fortune on the stuff. But hey, if it works and you like it, then why not. 

Thanks for stopping by Carina :)


Come back on December 1st when Jess from She Known as Jess Blog will be confessing her fictional crushes :)
