October Makeup Challenge!

"Why did you buy that? You never wear makeup anyway!"

This is a sentence I hear all the time, or some variation of it. Apparently some folks think that if you don't wear makeup everyday, that you shouldn't own any at all! Alright fine, I admit it. While I love makeup, I very rarely wear it. I do have a good excuse for this, at least good in my mind.

I'm lazy.

I like to get every possible minute of sleep I can in the mornings. I shower at night, I dry my hair before bed, and dresses are my friend. I've never been a morning person, and Amanda can confirm that. A good chunk of our friendship was formed somewhere between the hours of 10pm and 3am. 

So most of the time when I do my makeup it's late in the day, after work, and when most people I interact with on a daily basis won't see it. This works for me. I do my makeup when I want, and people can bite me. Admittedly this is not all that often, only when I actually have somewhere to be, which is less often lately.

Sadly they do have a point. So this month I'm going to challenge myself. The rules are as follows:

1. Wear makeup AT LEAST every weekday in October. If I go somewhere on the weekend, wear makeup then too. Lately my weekends involve my couch and Netflix so it seems silly to get all dolled up. I mean it's not like Jensen Ackles can see me through the screen.

2. Attempt to use as many products as possible. I'm really bad about rotating products in my collection and tend to stick to using my favorites.

3. Post weekly updates on my challenge status. Also, in the process, get back to that two posts a week goal I set for myself.

Wish me luck! If you want, join me on this challenge. Tomorrow is the first day so here's to hoping my first day includes more then just a hurried application of BB cream.... But that counts right?! ;-)
