Hey guys! Today I will be showcasing the 10 Beauty Things I Suck At! I was tagged by Nikki over at
Fairest's Favorites (whose an awesome Florida based blogger like I am). This is just one of the many tags that I have to catch up on, so if you are interested in seeing what 10 things I suck at then just keep on reading!
1. Keeping a consistent skincare routine.
Yes, shame on me as a beauty blogger and being THAT girl. Well here's the thing....I have a semi-consistent routine. I definitely remove my makeup (on days that I am wearing it) and moisturize my lips with a lip conditioner. I usually cleanse my face using whatever cleanser I have at the moment (too choosy with cleansers to figure out which ones I like) and an exfoliator (St. Ives' Apricot Scrub).
And that's pretty much where it ends for the 'consistent basis'. Yes, that means I usually don't spot treat my acne on a daily basis, or use a night cream often, or use an eye cream often...But now that it is winter time...this has a habit of changing. My skin gets drier, and I can't survive with no moisture on my skin. And then, the latter will be done on a more frequent basis. Winter in Florida doesn't last long (and it also comes and goes...) so as such, I have a very bad skin care routine :/
2. Drinking Water
Something so important that it's awful that I am sucking hard core at it! I've gotten better, to wear I will at least drink water several times a week. I want to get to the point that I am able to drink water several times a daily easily, without being squeamish about it. Not only is it good to hydrate you, but its also good for you skin (all my friends with flawless skin swears by drinking galleons and galleons of water)
3. Wearing False Lashes
I'm sure that my eye makeup look would look
so much better if I wore false lashes to go with them... One of these days I will wear false lashes for every other eye makeup look so that you can get the full effect of the look (especially on those dramatic eye makeup days...where my natural lashes + my favorite mascara doesn't do the look justice).
4. Washing my makeup brushes
Probably one of my worse habits I have... I know its completely unsanitary and probably the cause of my breakouts...and I also know that my makeup doesn't apply as well with dirty brushes as clean brushes. I just have a difficult time washing my brushes because I have quite a bit (around 20+) and I usually do it all at once (Hence my procrastination).
5. Throwing away expired makeup
If there is anything that can top number 4, it is this one. Boy oh boy do things stay in my collection for awhile... the worse offender being mascaras (which have approximately a 3 month lifespan). I can't bear throw away expensive mascaras after its been opened for only 3 months...especially if I didn't use them on a constant basis... so they stay in my collection for awhile (and I'm not going to go and admit how long some of mine have existed...its kinda embarassing).
6. Doing my makeup...quickly
I've always envied girls who have the capability to do their makeup quickly and run out of the door and look flawless. Lately, I haven't been able to get my routine under 10 minutes...much less 30 minutes. So, I now have either become the girl that has caused the whole party to be late...or the girl that has to prepare
way early in advance.
7. Picking at my skin.
Any and all acne scarring has been caused by me. Yes,
me. I've never actually started picking at my skin until the past 2 years or so, and as of lately I've agitated my pimples til the point that they burst. As such, I now have scarring (and some minor craters) on my face. Not to mention, my scarring tends to be of the hyperpigmentation nature, meaning that my scars tend to be darker then the skin color.
8. Being creative with my hair.
For my friends who see me on a constant basis (or for my very dedicated readers), you will realize my hair is usually dull. It's either straight, in a pony tail, or if I'm feeling special, curled. I just purchased the Goody Spin Pin, so my hair has now starting to traverse to being in a bun every now and then. One of these days I'll have the patience to sit down and braid my hair...but until then my hair will be BORING.
9) Impulse Buying
I'm not sure if this should be in here or not, but I felt like I should add this anyways. For products that do have coupons (mainly drugstore), I wish I wouldn't impulse buy as much and save more money on the products that I purchased. I get the newspaper every Sunday and yet at times I don't use makeup coupons and combine with other deals to buy products...I just end up buying whatever I felt like it instead of being a saavy shopper. Sometimes I'm a really good shopper, but most of the time I'm horrid at it.
10) Keeping up with my eyebrows.
One of these days I will tweeze my eyebrows in between my threading appointments so I don't have to go so often. Getting my eyebrows threaded does add up after awhile, so I should prolong it as long as I could. I tell myself every time that I could save money so much easier that way, but I need to be consistent with it or else it won't work.
