Hey everyone! How's everything with you? Weeks are going by like crazy but we shall prevail from our crazy deadlines, tight schedules and any downs in life! *fist pump* haha hopefully that was a good form of an impromptu motivation for those feelin' a little under the weather today! TMR SHALL BE BETTER!
I was up thinking what should I blog on today and stumbled across BeautyBroadcast/ Emilynoel83 on YouTube beauty tag which she read from Beautyholics Anonymous (sounds like such a long route lol) and thought this tag was a pretty interesting one to do! So thought I'd give this a shot as well along with some mini strategies to overcoming such potentially bad habits/ procrastination. :)
PROCRASTINATION. Always such a big hoopla with this word. Many fall prey to this little monster and I have to admit, you've got one of these 'victims' right here. *wave wave* Let's face it. Beauty and wellness, though all their magic powers and abilities, are not exactly as 'easy' as breathing. To some, it's all part of everyday but to others, it's a real chore. I personally have days where I feel they are both but ultimately, beauty is my passion so I'm still lovin it as always~lol These, like all other routines in our lives, be it studying or working or even our simple morning and night routines, require discipline. No discipline, no regularity and the ending results? Let's not go into them as we all know the secret answer to that one. OOPS. lol. ;)
Let's see how far we can get with this tag, shall we? ;) *fingers crossed*
1) Name a beauty regime that you rarely do?
Blow drying my hair is definitely not something not something that I put on my to-do list for my hair routine. I'm the lazy kind who just rather let nature take it's slooooow long course in air-drying than be disciplined enough to sit there patiently shaking my hair dryer and going through my hair with a wet brush. For those who can do that, I really really got to give props to them for having such patience. I do have pretty long hair [going past my chest and at the lower back area], so sitting there with a hair dryer is just not something that I always make myself do. My hair routine is just this: wet, shampoo/condition, dry, apply Moroccan oil to it, comb it once through and yay done. [even took me tons of strength to start putting oil in my hair, already applauding myself for that tbh lol]. Even if my hair may still be a little wet or still has some drying to do, I would still just hit the sack. Not a very good habit I know,[according to the Asian hair myth, that this might cause future migraine problems yada yada yada] and your hair may just look all funky the morning after, but I just can't get myself to get this right. So, there it is, OOPS #1.
2) Is washing your make-up brushes something that you do regularly?
YAY! Okay, this one I still do it regularly. Every once a week, they all go into the wash! I am super iffy when it comes to brushes especially the face brushes so this one was never a problem for me. I honestly mainly use eye brushes, and powder brushes but rarely brushes for my face cream/ liquid products as I'm more of a use-my-CLEAN-fingers for my cream/liquid foundations kinda girl. So, when I do use a brush ever for liquid products, I would wash it on the very same day as the day I used it. If you simply don't have the time to wash your brushes every day or that regularly, try using at least a daily brush cleanser to get some of the product that may have accumulated on your brush throughout the week. [E.L.F and Sephora do make pretty nice ones imo, have gone through bottles of them]
3)How long will you last with chipped nail polish?
To be honest, not very long, especially when I have dark nail colours on my nails. I am the obssessive-compulsive kind of girl that can't sit still seeing my nail polish being chipped off with gaps and knicks on a smooth surface [I'm crazy, I know, but I know I'm not alone on this heehee ;)]. This makes me go full-on-roaring-lady mode. [Not a pretty sight, trust me.] I would have to at least touch up or just remove the whole thing altogether. However, there are of course times where there is simply absolutely no time to even get them removed. However, NEVER PEEL OFF YOUR NAIL POLISH! This may spoil your nails in the long run and weaken the top layer of your nails. So, for the reds, darks, chipping is a MAJOR pet peeve. Chipped nail polish, you are my mortal enemy. However, for the nudes, I am oddly not as particular even though I know the chips are there [dum dum dummmm], most likely because they are not as obvious to the human eye ad the darks/reds. Anyone out there that has this chipping-OCD too? ;)
4) How long will you put off buying/replacing a beauty product, even if you need it?
Oh hello there stranger, I'm Jes, I like eating, cooking, reading, blogging, jogging...oh, did I mention? I'm a MAKE-UP JUNKIE? This question should be rewritten in my case, asking me when will I even stop buying them/ hoarding up on them. Lovelies, the Keywords here are BACK-UPS and JUNKIE. Like any cocoa-fanatic or candy popper, I need the things that I use/ love to be there when I need it. Especially the HOLY GRAIL ITEMS. There must always be at least one back-up of these babies which are all so important to me, especially for skincare and it doesn't take very long for me to zoom out to the nearest Sephora/ Drugstore to replace whatever/ backup whatever I need once I find out that I'm running low of them.Somebody stop meh! I even sometimes have back-ups for the back-ups, especially when I know that they are limited edition and unfortunately made me fall head over heels for them. Sometimes, I have to fight against myself from just taking the whole tray of the goods and walking to the check-out counter. Yup, it's that crazy sometimes, people. Nowadays, to prevent myself from being too overly in forever-hoarder mode, I constantly ask myself this list of questions that could possibly have even a glimmer of hope in making me save more, hoard less:
a) Will you use them ALL bearing in mind, they have EXPIRY DATES? [or even get through the first one completely? Especially, things like lip gloss, lipsticks, powders, etc]
b) Will you still in love with these products in the long term? Or is it just a fleeting fancy?
c) Is it absolutely crucial to have it in your [makeup] life? (let's face it. The world ultimately tells us make-up isn't exactly necessary in life.)
5) What is your worst beauty habit?
This one is a little tough to pin down for me. Not really a nail biter, not really a nail peeler, not really a sleep with makeup type of girl either. Okay, got it. HOARDING. BEAUTY HOARDING. Can we put this under this question please? lol I may be a little quite somewhat just plain ridiculously obsessed with things beauty, fashion, design etc. Come on girls/ guys, beyond our skins, there is a teeny itty- bitty hoarder in our beating hearts. I personally don't think I can completely annihilate the inner hoarder in me. BUT I always try to calm her down. If you are like me (all ya fellow hoarders, putcho hands uuuup!), try asking yourself those questions that I have mentioned above. AND OH! Go on this famous beauty tag/ project for yourself! PROJECT EMPTIES. This has personally helped me hoard less as I am better able to control myself and see for myself just how much stuff I actually bought and have/should finish. Seeing that Empties bin sitting underneath my study desk and it slowly growing as empty jars, bottles, tubes pile up gives me an odd sense of satisfaction and self-achievement. #achievementunlocked #ohyea #cheapthrills #littlethingsinlife. So if you do embark on this little project for yourself, be sure to hashtag #projectemptiessmp so we can all do this together! I've been doing it for two months now and am thinking of making it a blog/ instagram project! Join me! It'll be our project!
6) Name something non-beauty related that you put off doing all the time?
Clearing out my old files and stationary definitely. Lol yup typical student woes. As the semesters go by and tons of pens/pencils/files/cases are used, it's not hard to end up with monster piles of readings, notes, loose papers, choked up pens and old files. I do eventually get to clearing them up of course, but it is definitely not something I do right after my finals or terms end [hey, a girl's gotta have fun too ya know? ;) #workhardplayhard]
7) When going out somewhere, do you leave getting ready to the last minute?
Okay, this sometimes I am guilty of. Especially on days that I am going with very very minimal makeup or bare and natural. However, on days when I have to look a little more put-together, I would try to get ready ahead of time so I don't end up rushing around like a headless chicken and probably also end up messing up any makeup that I put on. But hey, we all have some of those lazy days ya know? ;)
8) Can you commit to spending bans?
Truth be told, I SUCK AT THIS. I'm not very good at sticking to these bans to be honest. The fast-moving, forever-having-limited-edition-releases beauty world just sucks me in constantly like a honey to a bee. So, how do we tackle this? If you are good at keeping to these bans, good for you, definitely a big pat on the back. As for me, I need to set smaller goals. for instance, breaking it up into two weeks rather than months. Going two weeks by two weeks, allows me to slowly progress but still try to keep at it. Months just seem crazy long for me so little goals trick my mind into thinking that I have achieved more though the time span may be the same or even longer. Also, set a beauty budget. Be it weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, try setting a beauty budget limit definitely helps me in not only controlling my inner hoarder but also keeps my wallet from screaming out in agony.
9) How organized is your make-up and nail polish collections?
Okay, apart from being a beauty hoarder, I am also a OCD-organiser especially for my beauty and makeup items. I am proud to say I am pretty organised for my beauty collection and reguarly think of ways to try and better the way in which I organise my beauty arsenal. Trust me, the best for such things are Office Supplies. Yup. You've seen them on YouTube, you've seen them on beauty blogs, office supplies, such as filing separators, desk drawers, even stationary cup holders are the best when it come to organisation. Order them of Ebay, Amazon, anywhere online or even pop by your local office supplies stores to 'get these awesome stuff that will keep your collection nice and neat. If you can't get your hands on such office supplies, even simple gift boxes that you may have lying around the house will do the trick! Trust me. You will feel so proud of your collection being so neat.
So, there ya have it! My version of The Procrastinating Beauty Blogger Tag! Tagging everyone of you lovelies on this so definitely have a go at it if you want!
Stay lovely, confident and happy!
