Fun Stuff > CHATTER

The Make-Up Thread: Because we all like to feel pretty sometimes

Yeah, I have some weird aversion to consumables as a whole. Why spend the time putting on nail polish when it's going to chip and my nails are going to grow? But I keep getting given all this girly stuff, and I love it, but I can't seem to make myself actually use it. But I'm that way about food and money, too.... I don't like using things that don't stick around afterward. >_> But I want to have fun with all the girly things. I've only actually put on eyeshadow maybe five times? And I've only painted my nails once since getting to college. Before that, I think the last time was in middle school. >_<

Then have it as an occasional treat/hobby. If you have had a bad week, think "right, on Sunday night I'm going to give myself two hours to try out some new makeup styles" or whatever.

CrowFairy:
Hmm, that's not a bad idea. I might need to try that. :)

That's how I use all my fancy bath stuff. Some of it is for daily use, but bath bombs and special lotions and the like are for Friday nights, when I take a nice long bath.

That's how I use most of my stuff, too.  I almost never wear makeup on a day-to-day basis.  Doing my nails is kind of an excuse to give myself time to breathe and slow down a bit.  I need to concentrate on painting them, allow time for them to dry. As long as it's something I like to do, rather than feel I should do, it can be very calming.  I've got a pretty decent collection of fancy makeup that no one ever sees, and I'm ok with that.  Sometimes it's nice to just play with glittery powders and dark eye shadows for my own amusement.
