Confession || I'm a make-up addict

I confess: I'm a bit of a make-up freak. I freak out over new collections and new products and new brands. I spend most of my money on food, make up and clothing and éven more food. Literally. I don't save up. I think I need help!! So with the help of my loyal friend mister Google I stumbled upon a very handy 6 step program to being to over the make-up addiction. (Well any addiction really.)

Step 1: Admit there is a problem
-Well, I guess I'm doing that right now by writing this blogpost? Have I already started the road to recovery? I don't think so
Step 2: Are you willing to change? 
-Yes, obviously.
Step 3: Look for a new "hobby"
- I can pick up art? Or writing, or more blogging?
Step 4: Therapy (?!!!!) 
-I really don't think therapy is needed (for this "obsession")!!
Step 5: Try another approach if this doesn't work 
- Do I actually have to look for professional help then?
Step 6: Talk about it 
- The thing is; I constantly talk about it. My friends are as obsessed as I am. And the online community of beauty bloggers, vloggers and enthusiasts aren't really helping.

If these steps really work? I really don't think so.

I worked out my own kind of system. I put together the items I use daily and put them separately from the other items. I'll change these products up every month. Because I started school again this month I wanted my look to be as natural as possible. Nobody likes a cake face at school, right. September's products are very natural and light. I feel like keeping it natural all the time with a rosy cheek and a bold eyeliner.

I'm loving all these products so much right now. It doesn't look like I'm wearing that much actually. 

Oh and am I the only person that wishes flower crowns were socially acceptable? This would be the perfect festival look, such a shame the festival season just passed! Oh well, next year.

The Cheeky Make-Up name game

I was reorganizing my make-up and it suddenly hit me. Make-up names are crazy.
Dating Joe Black, The lord of the blings, Strawberry Frappucino, Champaign Stain, I love Candy, Cheeky Pink etc etc. I love them, I think they make me buy items a lot faster. Put on some Hue Mac lipstick with some Stawberry Frappucino blusher and a little Dating Joe Black eyeliner. Doesn't that sound a bit more exciting than "Let me put some lipstick, blush and eyeliner on"?

So product developers, thanks for making buying and putting make-up on sound a bit more exciting!

So cheeky little monkeys, go play around with your make-up! Try making a game of it; try telling a story with your make-up.
