5 Baby Steps to Recover from Being a Beautyholic

Ever since getting onto the blogging craze, I've found myself spending out of control, particularly in one category: Beauty. Never before have I spent so much on seemingly necessary items & I am determined to get over it!

Here are 5 baby steps I've taken to recover from being a Beautyholic.
I will keep adding to these as I think of more~ Feel free to add to this list too!

1. Buy palettes instead of single shadows

• Unless the single shadow is a unique colour, palettes save space and you only need 1 palette per colour group. (You really don't need multiple brown-toned eye palettes)
• Keep only Holy Grail palettes. Sell or ditch anything below Holy Grail status.

2. Determine how much base makeup you really need

• I somehow found myself having 7 foundations, but have now sold what I could and reduced to 3 Holy Grail products. Cream foundation (special occasion), powder foundation (summer) & tinted moisturiser (daily).

3. If another blogger loves the product, it doesn't always mean you will

• I have made many mistakes purchasing products based on blogger reviews. It doesn't mean the review was inaccurate. I just have my own expectations & preferences.
• Develop your own confidence in choosing what really suits you & works for you.
• I've also reduced my "haul" posts to avoid other bloggers feeling the same thing. I will try to only post product pictures as part of FOTD showing actual usage.

4. Be confident in wearing less makeup

• My weekdays are foundation-free, which leaves weekends for FOTD practising.
• This means I use less & also I don't get tired as easily with my makeup collection.

5. Don't force yourself to write a beauty blog post

• Post only if you feel like it & if there's a topic something you feel passionate about.
• The less you're obsessed about blogging, the fewer unncessary products you will buy.

I hope these will help you if you're finding yourself a haul addict & need some help in controlling it!
