As years pass by, my habits about makeup are changing and I decided to share with you what are the things that I have been doing differently this year.
I buy less makeup
Yes, I buy less makeup nowdays. Just the fact that, from being VIB ROUGE at Sephora (with my over $1,000 beauty purchase a year) I have become Rouge and I'm on my way down to Beauty Insider, says it all.
I've been throwing away so many beauty products over the years because I just couldnt use all of them, that I realized, it was time to start buying the things that I would defintely use. Of course, I still make an impulse beauty purchase time to time, but overall, my trips to Sephora has dramatically reduced, LOL.

I used to wear full makeup on a daily bases, that's the habit I brought to USA from my home city, 10 years ago, but this year I started to wear less makeup and couldn't be happier. Of course, I still wear a full makeup if I go to any meeting or other important places but on a daily bases I just apply my sunscreen, concealer under my eyes and lipgloss.
I only buy high end beauty products
I remember, every time I would be in any drug store, I would buy tons of makeup products that would either irritate my dry, sensitive skin or they would other way disappoint me, so this year I officially stopped buying drugstore makeup because when you are in your thirties, you can't afford too many experiments on your sensitive skin.
No more full coverage foundation
Even if I have to wear full makeup for any reason, I don't wear full coverage foundation anymore. I think, full coverage liquid foundations don't work for my dry, sensitive skin anymore, they look cakey and heavy on my face so I only apply light (sometimes medium) coverage foundation.
Thanks for reading, and
Stay Fabulous!
I have also started wearing a lot less makeup on a day to day basis, and I actually much prefer it! x

Less makeup feels so much better, doesn't it? Thanks for stopping by, Nicole. Have a great day. xx

I agree with you, Kathrine, quality is so important. Happy Tuesday!
Deletegreat decisions. We should always pick quality over quantity.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, Ivana. Happy Wdnesday. xx
DeleteI am right there with you, I too use less makeup and stopped using traditional foundation and now use mainly CC creams. $1000/year whoa oh boy. I have a big bag of old makeup I am not sure what to do with. So glad you did not give up blogging!! So many people have. It seems IG has not only devastated the magazine industry but now blogs, hmm....

I agree with you about IG, Allie. And CC cream is a great alternative, I need to start using it. Happy Wednesday! xx
DeleteI agree with all of these.
ReplyDeleteI am super selective about what I buy.
The more you know, the less you need.

DeleteIt's nice to see how your beauty has changed over the years - I'm the same and buy less but more high quality product! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteYou too, right? Nothing is better than high quality makeup. Happy Wednesday babe. xx
DeleteLOVE this! I was a VIB for years, and ended up throwing away sooooo many products because there was no way I could possibly use it all. I sunk down to just Beauty Insider last year, and I'm not upset about it <3
ReplyDeleteGreen Fashionista
Same here, and I didn't like that I was throwing away so many beauty products. I'm glad, I stopped purchasing unnecessary things. happy Wednesday gorgeous. xx
DeleteThis was an interesting read.. I've definitely focused less on makeup in recent years and more on the skincare side :) xx

Thank you babe. xx
DeleteI love how you change your ways. Less and better quality is certainly better then more. I used to stuff my make up shelves with all kind of things just to feel like I have cool make up collection, but at the end I'm using the same few products all over again.
ReplyDeleteLackaDaisy
I was just like that too, I'm glad I make better choices now. Thanks for stopping by dear. xx
