The year’s been off to a bit of a slow start for me in the beauty department. Last month, I talked a lot about feeling burnt out and mentally exhausted, so let me quickly recap for those who missed it. Basically, I hit a wall juggling work, moving houses, and caring for two young kids. Looking back, it’s understandable given how little sleep I was getting, but at the time, it felt like everything was falling apart.
Normally, I find comfort in beauty during stressful times. Playing around with beauty products calms me down, and applying lipstick helps me relax and escape life’s troubles. But to my surprise, I couldn’t even bring myself to open a new lipstick or try any of the latest skincare products. They just sat around, gathering dust. I couldn’t muster the energy or interest in beauty—or, honestly, anything besides keeping my family going.
However, there’s been a turning point. I’ve finally started getting decent sleep, which means I can focus on self-care in the mornings. Now I’m diving back into my beauty collection and exploring new products again. My passion for beauty has made a comeback, just in time for Valentine’s Day!
I’m excited to write up detailed reviews on foundations and share fun lipstick updates. For now, I’m really enjoying going through my collection, which includes products like the new Dior foundation. It’s been going great so far! If you’re curious about the makeup I’m wearing in the photos, here’s a quick rundown: Tom Ford lipstick in Scarlett, Max Factor liner in Red Rush, Dior Forever Undercover foundation, Clarins mascara, and even some fun bunny ears from ASOS. More detailed reviews will follow soon!
