Oddest conversation just happened at lunch today with a few friends. Talking about New Year’s resolutions and where we were with ours. Our group takes them as seriously as we can (which isn’t much) 😂 For context, my resolution was to declutter and go “minimalist” in an effort to save money.
I mentioned I’d put up all my expensive makeup brands (Charlotte Tilbury, Armani, Dior, etc) for special occasions and had adopted a more simpler makeup look using just 5 ELF products for my everyday, which had saved me a lot more money as the brand is more affordable (think the most expensive thing if like £20). I felt quite proud of myself for this as I’ve been known to purchase makeup I don’t need as a guilty pleasure, and since adopting this new routine, I’ve saved loads of money that honestly would have been wasted. Or at least, I did feel proud until a friend turned around and said it was “weird” of me to only use ONE brand. That it was boring and “elitist”…
Cue confusion from everyone else at the table 🙈
Ive been giggling about it all afternoon. This friend is known for being a bit eccentric but this was a new one for us all. So mumsnet, tell me, am I weird to use just ONE makeup brand? (The horror….)
