Q. What are some beauty tricks you suck at?
A. There are so many things I don’t do very well. Where do I even begin!
1. Foundation.
Yes, I know… sounds simple right? Not for me, which is why I very rarely apply it. It’s not that I don’t use primer – I do, and often on it’s own – or I don’t pick the right shade or didn’t know that I have to ‘set’ it after applying or I don’t buff it in well… I can do all of that, but there’s nothing flawless about my technique. It’s messy, it takes forever, it feels gross on my skin and generally it’s a pain for me which is why I very rarely do it.
2. Washing my hair
I’ve made it no secret that one of the things I don’t enjoy doing is washing my hair. Love showers, love baths, but washing my hair… bor-ring! My hair is oily and it’s so difficult to find a shampoo and conditioner that agrees with it. But even when I have and it gives me 2-3 days (sometimes four days) grace without having to wash my hair, when it comes down to it I just groan. Washing my hair is actually that bad that I won’t put any product in it because it just makes my hair even more oily and I have to wash it out. So, anything to avoid washing my hair is good for me.
3. Manicuring my nails once a week
My nails are awfully thin; they can literally be cut by paper, which is why my nails are always so short. I used to sit for about an hour every weekend and do my nails but lately things have gotten out of hand and I simply forget. My paws are definitely one of those routines I need to make sure I keep up with otherwise, they’re just a hideous mess.
4. Routine
While on the subject… I really suck at sticking to a routine. I get into a groove of a new product but I then come across a new shinier product and get stuck into that, thus never finishing the first product to start off with.
I think the only real “routine” I stick to us my skincare routine, but things like my nails or getting my haircut cut every 6-8 weeks, etc… I fail at. It’s something I’ve definitely got to get a grip of.
5. Not finishing products
So… since I don’t stick to a routine, products in my collection rarely get used up. *tsk*tsk* Although I’ve bought a few things over the last few weeks, I been able to finish a few products in the meantime. It was my goal at the beginning of the year to finish at least six products every month before I start hauling new ones in.
Although I do suck at it, I’m finding that I am getting better at it.
