5 Beauty Bits I Never Used To Do, But Now Can't Do Without!

All of us have them. Things we never used to do, but couldn't not do now. Here's my list!

1. Fill in my brows. I never used to do this. I feel like its only been the last one or two years where people have started actually filling them in. My brows aren't sparse, but aren't thick. Now i look back at photos and wish I had even put some clear brow gel through them. I use the HD Brow set to fill in my brows. I got this around 2 years ago in a glossy box and thought I would have no use for it, now I use it every day! I also set my brows with the L'Oreal Brow Artist Plumper in Medium Brown.

2. Shot of cold water after washing my hair. I feel like this isn't done by a lot of people but should be. I can't remember when/where I heard this, but ever since I have done it, and I can see a difference when I hadn't. Basically, after shampooing and conditioning your hair, rinse it with cold water. It makes my hair looks and feel softer.

3. Not using a primer. This is kind of the opposite to the title. I used to use a primer for my base, now I don't. Reason? GossMakeupArtist. I saw a video of his saying not to use a primer, i thought it was ridiculous. My makeup hardly lasted the whole day with a primer, why would it last longer without? Sure enough, I tried it, and somehow my makeup lasts longer. One less cost for me!

4. Use a conditioner as shaving gel. I think most people would have heard of this one. Shaving gels always used to irritate me after shaving, leaving my legs feeling dry and sensitive. Now I use conditioner instead. I just buy the cheapest, nicest smelling conditioner I can find and use that. I'll never go back to shaving gel!

5. Double cleansing, exfoliating toners and serums. This point is basically a giant shoutout to THE GODDESS THAT IS CAROLINE HIRONS. After finding her blog whilst watching a video with her and pixiwoo, my skin has never looked better. On a night time my routine used to be makeup wipe, Clinique toner, moisturiser, done. Now the thought of only using a face wipe makes me cringe. I now double cleanse, tone, used a serum, the whole shabang. I'll be writing another blog post on my skincare routine so I won't be getting into too much detail here. 

Basically if my skin could talk to Caroline it would say:

See you soon,
