The outcome of my eyeliner determines how my day will go
Let's face it. An uneven winged liner spells disaster for the rest of the day. Now everyone must be judging us internally.
2/10
An armful of swatches is satisfying to look at
Ah! Coming out of the beauty store with an armful of swatches is equivalent to winning a battle. So satisfying.
3/10
We are not a makeup hoarder. Are we?
What do you mean by we need to throw this away? It was a limited edition release.
4/10
We’ll just pick up a bottle of shampoo
We go in thinking we just need to pick up a bottle of shampoo but there is some magical force that attracts us. Oh is that a new eyeshadow?
5/10
My idea of a perfect Sunday is watching beauty tutorials
Beauty tutorials, a cup of hot chocolate - need we say more?
6/10
Our makeup bags are sufficiently packed
We are not overloading our makeup bags. We're just preparing for a rainy day - you never know when you'll need to use 3 lipsticks.
7/10
Taking 30 minutes to pick out a shade of nail polish
Ths shade of blue is different from the other blue. Decisions!
8/10
That devasting moment when you read that your product has been discontinued
What do you mean our favourite foundation is going to be discontinued? We shall take emergency leave from work and stock up right this minute!
9/10
When your favourite eyeliner runs out and your friends understand
We can always turn to girlfriends for support. What a great eyeliner that was.
10/10
Dont you already have like 20 of those
But it's the latest collection! That is a valid reason, isn't it?

The outcome of my eyeliner determines how my day will go

“I am only going to pick up 1 item” or so she said on her visit to the beauty store. We round up 10 common beauty struggles only the beauty obsessed will understand.

Alright ladies, raise your hands through the virtual screen if you can relate to coming out of a beauty store with more products than required. You went in thinking you were only going to restock on the bottle of shampoo but you come out with a basket full of random products. May we add along with a mixed feeling of excitement and defeat that you’ve succumbed to the pressures of being a beauty-obsessed individual once again.

For the ladies who can relate to us, you would understand how it feels to witness the launch of a new makeup collection. Imagine walking into a store and coming out with an arm full of swatches. The feeling of doing so gives us the same amount of endorphins as eating chocolates, just without the added calories of course.

Head over to the gallery up top for a round up of the other beauty struggles we face. We’re sure you’ve experienced them all.
