Beauty for Breakfast Pt. 16

When I first created the Beauty for Breakfast series, I called it this because my morning routine was so time consuming it never allowed me to actually eat breakfast. That may sound like I am high maintenance; that’s not true. Getting ready for the day was my focus in the morning and that involved my routines, a little bit of work, getting ready from making up my face to organizing my outfit, and building up the energy I needed for that day.

For the last several years, I have been using drugstore brand mascara. They weren’t all bad. Some of them were recommended to me by beauty blogs and my always favorite Refinery29. Prior to this, I was using Diorshow (pictured above) but it became difficult for me to justify spending that much on just mascara. Over Christmas break, I was a on a shopping trip with my younger cousin when I mentioned to her that I was looking for a new mascara to use and to move past my drugstore brands. She recommended this one to me because it’s the one that she uses and it “doesn’t make her lashes look too spidery.” Having been pleased with Diorshow in the past, I decided to cave in and give it another go around. I haven’t been disappointed yet! And now that I’m not a poor college student, I guess I can finally treat myself to mascara that costs more than $10. I should be able to treat myself to the lastest make up trends every now and then. I work hard at college so there is nothing wrong with treating myself. I’m sure there are extra positives that the big brand mascaras provide that I am missing so I can’t wait to really treat myself. There is a massive range of mascaras that are on-trend at the moment, so I am sure there is so much more I can discover with a little bit more time and money.
