The habits I have changed about makeup in 2019



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 apply less makeup on my face
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!

  4. I 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....

  5. I agree with all of these.
    I am super selective about what I buy.
    The more you know, the less you need.

  8. LOVE 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

  15. I love the rebrand of your blog! It is good that you're going for more of a natural look with less makeup. I am the same too. I also use the Chanel foundation! They do a great job with their products and I LOVE HOW IT SMELLS!

    Your new blog page is amazing. I really like it, as well as this post. Products that you show are great and I use many of them. Also I completely agree with your philosophy because I also only buy high end cosmetics and wear minimal make up.

  21. I 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.
