#lowmaintenancemakeup

Ok, its 6am and my alarm has gone off. Its time for my morning beauty routine! I start law school end of August, but right now I work for a horse trainer, since I also ride (dressage for those “in the know.”) Because of this, I am outside for a large part of the day, and have lots of exposure to sun and dirt. However, in the morning I am more concerned about coffee than beauty so I work towards streamlining my morning routine.

Steps:

1. Wake up, force self out of bed

2. Brush teeth, search Pandora for something to help get my day off on the right note

3. Wash face, Bliss Triple Oxygen face mask ($$ but check TJ Maxx or Kohls for it!) hope the warm gets warm quick enough for my short patience

4. Spot treat any acne (ugh even in my mid 20s its a struggle some days!) with Shiseido Pureness Blemish Clearing Gel.

5. Sunscreen

6. Throw some barn clothes on and rush out the door

Ok, so I love beauty blogs. But you know what I don’t love? I don’t contour, I wouldn’t know how to apply blush or lip liner if my life depended upon it, and I really have no interest in learning how to. But I care about my skin, and I generally like to look presentable in public. However, when I was looking at beauty blogs, I couldn’t find any that I could really identity with and relate to. Where are the students who are existing on red bull and drug store beauty products? So, The Beauty Blunder was born! I hope I can find some kindred spirits out there in the internets!

All my Blundering Best,
