Makeup Induced Mental Health Issues...

Hi Everyone!


Sorry I've been a little quiet on the blog front for a few days - I've been struck down by some kind of virus. I'm still not feeling great but there is only so much time I can spend in bed... I needed a break from feeling rubbish so I decided to catch up with all you lovely ladies! I hope you are all well and non-viral by the way...
So anyway, I was sitting in the house the other day on my day off. I had no particular plans and just decided I'd treat myself to a lazy day lounging about in the house in my pyjama's. So I repeat, absolutely no plans, not going out, not seeing anyone. So why then was I sitting watching Phil and Fern discussing some trivial aspect of modern life on 'This Morning' (British TV morning current affairs type programme...) with a full face of makeup on? I mean I was wearing concealer, foundation, blusher, contour, highlighter, lipstick and gloss, and a fully made up eye look, mascara, and I'd even done my eyebrows.... I realised that I, like many of you reading this post probably do this regularly without ever knowing why. Well I have diagnosed myself with Makeup Induced Mental Health 'Issues'.
Symptoms include;
  • Wearing a full face of makeup with pyjama's, and having no intention of getting dressed.
  • Putting a full face of makeup on about an hour before you plan on going to bed.
  • Checking YouTube for videoes about a new shade of lipstick/eyeshadow/blush/whatever that you have bought that day.
  • Looking for reviews of something you want, subscribing to people who give it a positive review and not even finishing to watch the negative ones lol.
  • Actually dreaming about makeup. and makeup you want.
  • Knowing more about a product than the makeup counter girl due to your online obsession.
  • Putting more thought into planning your makeup look than your clothes for a night out.
  • Imagining that in another life, you would actually be a leading and world famous makeup artist, who would be paid millions and have a massive collection.
  • Actually wondering if it might be viable to move somewhere that has a spare room that you could just use to keep your makeup in.

Well, those are the symptoms I have identified so far, but have you experienced any extra ones?

Keep me informed, we could be on the verge of a medical breakthrough here! LMAO!
