when did makeup stop being fun?
I was getting ready for a weekend outing this past Sunday… and in a rush to get out the door, I laid out all of my makeup necessities out on the bathroom counter. And when I was done, I audibly sighed. My college self would giggle at the bland colors of neutral I had laid out.
Just weeks prior, I had delighted in glee over my acquisition of the Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette
When did going to Sephora stop being fun and start being a necessary step in looking awake and alive? Or rather, when did I change my makeup priorities from wild and fun to just plain ‘ol everyday stuff?
Don’t get me wrong. I can’t bear to throw out my MAC body glitter (and maybe, just maybe, I used some at Mr. M’s Christmas party) no matter how hard I try. But my desire to try the latest pinterest eye makeup tutorial just isn’t there. Then again, I’m not painting my nails in crazy patterns either.
I think I need a makeup intervention before I get too old and grumpy… because my temptation to visit the Bobbi Brown counter is overwhelming vs. the MAC stations… or is this just how this whole thing goes?

I think the lack of desire for spending lots of time on fun nails is possible toddler related. At least in my case. Hubby complains about the smell and my girl just wants to be a part of it…so intircate detailing is likely to get smudged. Maybe we should just visit an nailart studio or something?
I hear what you’re saying though…

January 23, 2013 at 7:07 pm (118 days ago)I feel you! I loved applying make-up. Trying new colors was so much fun. Then my kids came. Make-up became a necessity to looking alive and restful, no longer was it fun. All my color became neutrals too! I just didn’t have the time to spend applying make up. I miss the enthusiasm I had for make up. I’m slowly compromising and bringing it back. No flashy colors (still don’t have the time) but I’m getting back into lip gloss and sprucing up my bland make up routine with fun lip gloss colors. It’s fun and takes very little time.
