What are your beauty weaknesses? (Lighthearted)

So as I took a delivery of a Iconic London this morning, containing yet another 2 highlighters and a lip product, I realised that I have an issue with highlighters and lip products (specifically lipsticks). I must have 30 highlighters (which tbf I do cycle through - I'll never finish one but I do use them all in turn) and 100+ lipsticks (of which I do not use all - I keep trying them in the never-ending quest for the perfect MLBB shade).

I just cannot resist a highlighter in any form (powder, cream, I love them all) or a pink/nude/mauve lipstick.

What do you fall for every time?

Expensive shampoos and conditioners in various brands.

Blushers. I make Morticia look suntanned so can’t resist blusher to relieve the corpse like pallor.
Also eyeshadow or face palettes, especially if in a pretty case with a mirror.
plus coral lipsticks, can’t resist the quest for the perfect shade

Blushers for me too! I like wearing slightly too much to offset my deathly pallor.

And always basically the same shade, pinky coral.

Eyeshadow palettes
Highlighters
Perfumes
Expensive candles

I'm like a crow "shiny, bring home, put in nest"

Foundations. I’m always looking for the next one. I alternate them though and sometimes even mix them together 😂

lipsticks and lip liners.

I’ve discovered cronzers and they’re a game changer!!

Nail varnish.
i sorted through the the other day and even after getting rid of old dried up ones I have 27. Sometimes I buy one I like to find I already have it when I get home. I think DD has some in her room as well
They range from Chanel to Barry M

Pink sparkly lipgloss is my weakness.

Nail varnish & shower gel

Confused

Oh and perfume

Anything that offers the answer to dealing with frizzy hair....always disappointed

BenCoopersSupportWren · 10/02/2023 22:46

OPI nail varnishes. It’s a sickness.

RosetteNebula · 10/02/2023 22:53

Serums and face creams. I just can't stop. I do use them all but I really wish I could resist buying them until I actually need more.

mistermagpie · 10/02/2023 23:07

Perfume and foundation. The perfect foundation is out there, I just know it, but I just have to kiss seven billion foundation frogs before I find it...

WedonttalkaboutMaureen · 10/02/2023 23:30

Body lotion/cream/butter. I could slather half of the nation with my stockpile. I do use them every day but I've probably got enough to last me until I pop my clogs. Oh and tinted moisturiser for my pale pale face, obsessed. Again, enough options to last forever.

At least I'll be a glowing moisturised corpse in my casket.

Dark teal eyeshadow. Yennifer from the Witcher wears a dark teal eyeshadow which fyi is Charlotte Tilbury’s discontinued Eyes to Mesmerise Cleopatra. Every Christmas I try and buy similar, none are quite right. I’ll keep trying!
