Today I have something serious to talk about. I'm the victim of a hugely detrimental condition called: MADD. Makeup Attention Deficit Disorder.
Not many people know about this condition because it's constrained to just a small percentage of the population, but let me tell you, it's a serious condition that I've had to deal with since I was about 14.
Here's what the condition entails: I buy one makeup product, use it for a day, a week, a month, or a couple months if I'm lucky, and then the disorder hits. All of a sudden, I buy 5 more products, each that get a couple uses before they're fatefully tossed aside for the next round of MADD. The cycle continues until I drown in my collection of partially used makeup and tears over my empty wallet.
It's serious stuff. But, every so often however, the disorder passes over a few select products, products that no matter how serious the condition may get, never get tossed aside. These products have become so far ingrained into my routine that even MADD can't make me toss them aside. But, the occurrence is rare, and only two products have made it to such a status.
E.L.F Translucent Mattifying Powder and Maybelline Super Stay Makeup
These are the first and only products I have ever hit pan on / used up. Ever. In years and years of doing makeup.
The E.L.F Translucent Mattifying Powder is my everyday (and I mean every single day) powder, and I love it so much. It mattifies my entire face, and it soaks up oils like no other. The best part is - it's only $3 dollars. Three. T-H-R-E-E! You can't beat that.
Maybelline Super Stay has been my go to and favorite foundation this past year, and that's saying something because I own a lot of foundations. It gives me wonderful matte coverage, and it lasts such a long time. And since its from the drugstore, I can usually find it for under $10!
Please feel free to share your MADD stories - I know I can't be the only MADD sufferer around here! How many products have you hit pan on / used up? Let me know in the comments below!
Love,Belle
