STOP!
I have always been a bit obsessed, ok truly obsessed, with stuff
about beauty, makeup, I could spend hours in Sephora and wouldn’t get bored. I
am not exaggerating. BUT recently I discovered Youtube. But not that Youtube we
all know, that we use for music or watching funny clips. Take a look at this one, by the way. It's hilarious.
I recently discovered a few “beauty gurus”. I used to not
have the necessary patience to watch all those similar clips with “Favorite
products of 2012” or “What I am wearing today”. I still don’t have this kind of
patience, but I did discover one girl that I really like and she got me addicted.
Now I want to buy so many beauty products that I would probably not finish them
even 20 years from now. She is known on Youtube as missglamorazzi. While I love
watching her clips, I have to make a commitment to myself before I go crazy and
empty my wallet. I was the type of girl who would buy makeup for example just
because I liked that particular product at first sight, without reading reviews
first to figure out if it is indeed a good product or it is just appealing at
the beginning. As you probably already guessed, I would then use that product
and sometimes realize I didn't always make a smart choice.
So from now on, I will stop buying several almost identical beauty products and
only buy what I know I truly want
and need. That means, no more
several blushes, all average quality. One or 2 high end blushes are enough.
I actually already started putting my plan into application
about 2 months ago and it works perfectly. I feel more satisfied with my
collection of makeup and beauty stuff now, because I got to finish some of the products and bought new ones that I really wanted. I realized quality is way more important than
diversity. I am not saying that some drugstore products can’t be good. I don’t
think I will ever switch my Maybelline mascara with a high end one. I just don’t
think it’s worth it as long as I get so good results with a much cheaper
version. Here’s when reviews or Youtube can be helpful. These girls on Youtube,
they get to try so many products, they have a better idea what is good and what
is average. Personally, since I started reading more about a product before
buying it, I didn’t get to be disappointed so far. Of course, you also need to
know what truly fits you, because a face cream could be perfectly suitable for
someone and less suitable for someone else.
Besides, when it comes to skincare, I believe it is
important to invest more, without regrets. Your face will thank you in a few
years. Like I mentioned before, I will
probably never spend too much money on a mascara, but a good eye cream is a
must have.
I really want to hear your thoughts now. Do you resist the temptation of not buying something that you think you need really badly at that moment? Are you a careful buyer or more of a spontaneous type of gal?:)

About me
Welcome on my blog!
I am Luiza, a student in her twenties living in Aarhus (Denmark). Besides blogging, I love to travel, shop, laugh and watch TV series.
Founded in 2012, Ladylike is a blog that covers lifestyle, fashion, travel, healthy eating and relationships. The idea for this blog came when I realized I would love to have my own personal space where I could share my thoughts and experiences with other enthusiastic girls who are preocuppied by their looks and health. The blog is called Ladylike because I love being feminine. What can I say more?
Thank God I am a woman!
