I don't
spend a great deal of time primping and getting ready in the morning. I also don't spend much, if anything, on the
things I use to get the job done either. I don't always wear make-up, especially on the
weekends.
My
morning routine is fairly simple. I wash
my face, apply moisturizer and lip balm, then apply eye shadow, eyeliner pencil
and mascara. Done!
I don’t
use foundation because I don't like what it does to my skin and I've never been
much of a fan of lipstick so I only wear it occasionally. Since I drink coffee or tea in the morning it
just ends up on the rim of my cup anyway.
I
seldom pay for make-up. I almost always
use a coupon and then purchase it with a gift card. Eye shadow lasts me quite awhile and I buy
extra applicators because they wear out and because they should be replaced
regularly for hygiene purposes. I also
toss out and replace my mascara every three months. My eyeliner pencil gets sharpened enough to
keep it clean but I do clean my sharpener each time I use it.
I wash
my face with a moisturizing cleanser at night when I bathe or shower and just
use a warm wash cloth in the morning. My
favorite lip balm is the original Chapstick and my moisturizer is the lotion I
get at Bath & Body Works. For me it
works the best and I always have some around so why not?
That's
it. Pretty basic and simple.
What is
your morning routine like?
I wear make-up when I am going out for the day. I drive my son to school in the morning(less than 7 minutes there and back) and usually just stick a hat on and jump in the car without make-up. That is fine to do except when you hit and kill your neighbours(5 houses down) cat and have to stand there in front of your neighbours sobbing without make-up and greasy hair!!!!! Ask me how I know :)
ReplyDeleteIf I am going anywhere else, I put on foundation, blush, mascara, lipstick and call it a day.
Poor kitty. :( And to think, the last think he saw was you without make up. Tee hee.
DeleteOh ha ha that is hilarious!!!!! The poor cat!
