5 Beauty Things I Don't Have Time For

February 14, 2015

When I first saw this post pop up on Katie's Beauty World, I knew that it was a post i'd also like to do as tag style posts are quite fun to get involved with and also give you a little insight into the person behind the blog. I think all of us bloggers are guilty of being lazy, especially me and I thought it would be fun to share some of the things I just don't have time for.
1. Cleaning makeup brushes - I think this is the one thing that every blogger hates, although the feeling of having lovely clean makeup brushes is wonderful, the time is takes is just a right faff. I've found that because of this, my brush collection has expanded so much that I have over ten foundation brushes, just because I really don't enjoy washing them - shocking, I know!

2. Toners - This is that one part of my skincare routine that does not happen and has not for a long time. Mainly because I just haven't found one that I like nor have I found a toner that made any difference to my skin and I do find it completely pointless. Maybe I just need to do some research, but I just enjoy a quick cleanse, oil or serum and then a moisturiser - simple and my skin is lucky that it even gets that on some days.

3. Double cleansing - Following on from the previous point and one thing that I do see the point but really can't be bothered with, is double cleansing. I do admit, it is great at removing anything that you've missed and my skin does feel better for it but as I can only just about persuade myself to cleanse once, twice just isn't going to happen (unless i'm giving my skin some TLC).

4. Primers - Don't get me wrong I love a good primer and the majority that i've used have worked wonders, but after doing my skincare routine I often just skip the primer stage as I just want to get my face on and get on with the days tasks. On a normal day to day basis I find I don't really need a primer, so i've gotten used to not using them but when i'm working a long shift or have had a rather draining day, then I do see when I could have done with a primer.

5. Winged liner - I just can't do it! I love wearing eyeliner and slowly i've gotten the hang of applying it without my hand shaking but I cannot for the life of me grasp the winged liner application. I've tried so many times that I end up loosing my patience, wiping my entire eye look (eyeshadow included) off and starting again.


So those are a few beauty things that I just don't have the time and often the patience for!

  2. I can never be bothered with primers either, sometimes I find that a good moisturiser can kind of do an alright job of priming. And ain't nobody got time for double cleansing when you just want to go to bed/rushing out the house!

  4. I hardly ever use primers either as I haven't found one that's good enough to wear all the time. x

  5. I'm so so bad at washing my brushes, there's just so many of them so I end up spending like an hour doing it and then they need almost a day to dry and it's just too much! I totally get how you feel about eyeliner, I wear it quite a lot and have sort of mastered the application process but most days I do my eyeshadow, look in the mirror and think 'do I really want to risk ruining this with eyeliner? nah it looks fine this way!' and just skip it haha

  7. Double cleansing sounds like a right pain, don't think i could ever have time for it. Toners or primers are also products that I rarely use simply because I haven't found any that make a huge difference to my skin or makeup x

  11. Toners are definitely one of mine too. I've used one once and didn't feel or notice a difference. xx

  12. I never comb through my eyebrows. Not because I don't want to but because I never remember to do it until I happen to walk past a mirror and cringe at the hairs that have gone astray!

  17. Oh, mine only take a few hours - I shake off the excess water and then rub them quite hard into a towel, the bristles won't fall out or anything and they dry so much quicker :) Haha, your comment made me laugh xx

  18. If my skin needs it I will, but some people double cleanse on a daily basis - couldn't do that! xx

    Winged eyeliner, def. I have hooded eyes so it's an added fuss. I only do it on special occasions.


    @your brushes, have you tried putting them in a cup of warm water with a bit of white vinegar and a squirt of dish soap? I always wash mine like this and it's a breeze. I allow it to sit for a few mins and then swirl it around in the mixture a bit and the foundation just slides right off.

  21. Ooh no I haven't, not sure how i'd feel about soaking my brushes in vinegar tho? Sounds like a good idea! xx

    From my experience it doesn't leave any smell and only serves to help with the cleaning. I guess you can always try it first on a brush you're not attached to and see if it works for you. ;)
