WHAT'S ACTUALLY IN YOUR MAKEUP BAG?
Is it just me or is anyone else guilty of rotating the same makeup products despite owning a fairly impressive makeup collection?
One of the things that I find myself questioning quite often is whether or not other bloggers, Youtuber's and general social media influencer's really use EVERYTHING. Don't get me wrong my dressing table isn't Pintrest goals and I don't own any Kylie Lip Kits but I'd say I have more make up than the average person. This all started the other day when I was clearing out my vanity and started finding products I had genuinely forgotten I owned. Worse still...I found things that I haven't even taken out the packaging which is absolutely insane! This firstly got me thinking of how wasteful this is. YES, I love cosmetics. YES, I love make up. YES, I love feeling girly and acting like a bit of a princess sometimes...But I only have one face and I can't say I go out enough or go to enough events to warrant owning so much makeup that I either rarely use or NEVER EVEN OPEN. I watch a lot of Youtuber's doing make up collection videos and PO Box opening videos and I just don't know how they do it. I could have every item laid out in front of me but, chances are, unless it's a new item I'm really excited about (probably because it costs so much bloody money), I reckon I'd still use my favourite go to products I.E...my makeup bag. Like a comfort blanket, it's safe. It's reliable, it's predictable, it'll never let me down. I'll admit I've got myself stuck in a bit of a rut and will be changing some things and adding new products. When I say new, I mean stuff I've found that I already own!
