Not to brag or anything, but 2018 will go down in my own personal history as one of my definitive, epiphany years.
In terms of beauty. I meant… in terms of beauty. God, I hope you didn’t think I was about to say something deep and heartfelt. Awks.
But FR, I learned so much this year; about the beauty industry, about what makes a good quality product, about price points…
I even managed to master a cut crease, and find out the definitions of pigmentation and oxidisation. Should I have paid more attention in GCSE Science? Probably. But that’s not the point.
On a personal note, I realised this year that my interest in beauty had nothing to do with self-confidence. I find applying and experimenting with makeup enjoyable. It’s fun! It’s a fact of life that I’d find the subject of beauty fun and exciting, whether my confidence is 100%, or nil points.
So, hats off to you, beauty industry 2018. For being a turning point in my interest in beauty, and for giving me the confidence to start a blog… about beauty. Hmm. Here are some of my faves:
