Yay! This is my 500th post!
*Goes back to her posts page and checks if the post
number is really 500,na?! Yes, it is! Phew!*
You know, I think my blog has got a little
professional losing its personal touch from a month now, which is so not me!
And so, I thought of doing this fun filled post today! I wanted to discuss
something really serious today.
The four important things Beauty Blogging has taught me:
1)
“Patience”

-
True! So True! Beauty blogging has
actually instilled in me the virtue of patience. I return shopping to my home
on a late evening and I have this urge of trying away the cosmetics right away!
But I can’t because I first have to click the pictures of the untouched makeup
products in daylight tomorrow and then, start using them. So, how do I act while waiting? Well, I first place my newly
brought cosmetics beautifully on my bedside table, then, I cook eat yummy
food (while staring at them), watch F.R.I.E.N.D.S (while staring at them), paint
my nails (after removing my current nail polish, while staring at them), un-necessarily
think about the little bad things that happened in the last few days (you know,
timepass! While still staring at them) and then, when the going gets really
tough and I start to lose my patience at midnight, I shoot two glasses of
tequilas ( the tequilas here refers to me dancing like crazy on my bed to
Dhoom3 title song and retiring myself to sleep, with last glance on my
cosmetics under the lamp light). And, make double of all these things if there’
no sunlight tomorrow!
2)

Yes! You read it right! When I was at the
Maybelline counter recently swatching the New Maybelline crayon kohls, this was
what I was saying to myself> “Oh! So bad! It took 4 swipes for the full
color on my hand to show. It would be even a harder task to apply on eyes. But
just see the colour! It’s so gorgeous! It will go beautifully with my black
eyes! But even the texture is not so smooth! Oh! But the stunning shade! Buy
it, Heena! You know, it would be more expensive if you go finding a similar
shade in MAC! Not like I was going to! But.. Oh! My readers! My little
audience! It would be waiting for the reviews of these and I can’t disappoint
them! I have my exams coming and it could be a bad omen if they curse me! Plus
it’s my duty as a beauty blogger (holds true only if I want to buy a product
real bad!). And, yeah! I bring the beauty home! See? Readers help us to buy
products and shop, even if that’s indirectly! ;) So, a big thanks to them.

Art
of “Adjustment”

I am not talking about the adjustment happiness
you feel by seeing heaps of makeup items because that I experienced in my six
month of blogging only, which also reminds me that there’s a bag lying on the top
shelf with all the blog sale items. I’m taking about the adjustment you make in
the makeup storage compartments. Firstly, lip products were neatly arranged in
my 1st drawer. Then, I started to arrange them colorwise in
different containers. Now, I have two big containers; one for lipsticks and
another for lipglosses, each piled on one another. But hey! I’m still organized.
Maybe, I will show you some pictures of my cupboard soon. I still know where to
look for if I need any particular product. I wonder where my Inglot peach
lipstick has vanished O_o
4)
Getting
Bold

-
The balcony in which I take blog pictures
is right opposite to the park. That balcony is the blessed with at least some
natural light. Even in summers, the sunlight reaches the balcony only after 4 PM
and that too for 30 minutes! Photo editing softwares are a big boon. So, now
how has blogging made me besharam bold? Before, I literally looked left,
right and straight before starting to take lip/eye swatches. And, even then someone
had to pass from the park at that time and their faces (in case of guys, stares)
are worth forgetting. But now, I just don’t care! Just two days back, when I
was taking lip/eye swatches, an aunty passing by started to stare. I just
showed her my middle finger. Relax! I was just showing my new ring, you saw it HERE. Because I knew her. You don’t
think I would start showing off my jewellery to any stranger? Unless someone
comes to my home in which case, I will display the bags neatly on dining table
and the curious souls ask me what’s in those bags? :)
So,
what are the important things beauty blogging taught you? Would love to know ;)
