Why 'Beauty's Bad Habit'?

Why 'Beauty's Bad Habit'?

Yesterday I realized that I have never been asked why I decided to name my blog, or 'online make-up persona' as 'Beauty's Bad Habit' and I thought it could pose a fun question -

What beauty mistakes have you made that you don't regret?

I thought up 'Beauty's Bad Habit' since beauty is all about having good habits and keeping them up - drinking lots of water, sticking to a skin care routine, regular hair treatments and such. It's about applying knowledge you know is sound - buying make-up which suits your skin tone, layering powders over creams (never the other way around), cleaning your brushes...But what about the bad habits?

[[ Maybe hoarding is a bad habit? Do we care? No! MY PRETTIES...]]

Some of the best things in life are bad for us or a bit naughty - those cheeky little treats we indulge in like fatty foods (curry/ cake/ chocolate, anyone?), sugary drinks, lots of caffeine, lying in bed for as long as possible, playing music loud to annoy the neighbors, partying 'til you can barely stand, spending that last £10 in the bank on a new belt instead of topping up the fridge, eyeing up the hot builders across the road...Well, I don't know about you, but I LOVE bad habits! So much more than good habits! I think we should all so something a little naughty every day, it's good for the soul ;)

[[ According to beauty 'rules', I shouldn't wear cool toned colours...rules are made to be broken! ]]

Where do bad habits come into beauty, then? Well, personally I'd call sleeping in make-up and having dirty brushes outright SINS (c'mon people, get a grip!), but everything else...It's all just trial and error. Beauty and make-up should be fun - never a chore! Some beauty things I love logically shouldn't work for me - cream blush on my oily skin, cool/ blue toned make-up on my warm skin, heavy stage foundation as under eye concealer, near-white powder to set medium foundation...All little mistakes or 'bad habits' which I'm actually quite fond of.

Embrace your bad beauty habits, ladies, they might not be so bad after all...
