TAG: BEAUTY THINGS I SUCK AT

IMAGE TAKEN FROM HERE

Nobody is perfect and as much as I want to be I don't even come close. I've seen this type of post floating around for a while now and I thought it was high time that I shared all of the things that I suck at with you. I'm not just sticking to beauty either - I'll throw a few fashion and lifestyle things in there for good measure. Let me know if you suck at any of the same things as me in the comments below.

- LIQUID EYELINER

I'm absolutely useless at liquid eyeliner. I have very little control of my hands and they shake a lot. This means I either end up with a line that is far too thick, unevenness or I simply poke myself in the eye. I avoid it at all costs.

- TAKING MY MAKE UP OFF WHEN I'M DRUNK

I don't get drunk very often (any more) but when I go out I am guilty of piling on the slap and then, when I come home, falling straight into my bed without taking my make up off. I know, I know, I really should know better. Still, face planting a pillow is always the better option at the time.

- NOT RUBBING MY EYES

Ever since I've been small I've always rubbed my eyes, scratched my eyes, moved my eyes to get rid of that tried/stinging/itchy feeling. I know I'm only giving myself bad wrinkles in the future but it's the habit of a lifetime. If I'm wearing eyeliner and I do this I end up looking like a panda (which looks cute on a panda but not on a grown woman).

- KEEPING UP WITH THE LATEST COLLECTIONS

Unless it's been ridiculously hyped up then I probably won't know about it until it's happened and/or over. I'm just not that into keeping up with MAC or Chanel or Dior etc. Don't get me wrong, if a brand catches my eye then I will check them out more regularly than others but most of the time I simply stumble across a product I like. I have managed to keep up with a few good lipstick launches from the drugstore though.

- BITING MY NAILS

I'm a nail nibbler. I always have been. I always will be to some extent or another. I have managed to grow my nails a little now but I still bite them a little bit. I can't help it. And I know about the germs and all that jazz... I've been doing it since I can remember so it's one of those life-long habits that will be extremely hard to break. 

- GETTING 8 HOURS A NIGHT

I can be a bit of night owl and then I have to get up really early which kills me. I never learn though and I spend most days in a bit of blurry sleepy haze. People who know me know this when I take a long time to respond to the simplest of questions or completely forget to reply to texts.

- WEARING MY GLASSES

I'm supposed to wear them whenever I'm in front of any type of screen, driving or reading - so that would be all the time. I only wear them when I have a headache. Fail. And I can't wear contacts purely because the thought of putting something in my eye completely freaks me out.

- GETTING EXERCISE

Unless you count running about and heavy lifting at work then I don't actively exercise ever. I walk every where but that's only because I can't drive and I dance about when I clean the house but as for actually getting my ass into gear to go running or put on an exercise video? It's not happening.

- WEARING PRINTS
I just can't pull them off particularly well. Those stained-glass effect trousers from Primark that were so popular? Nope - can't do them. The patterned leggings everywhere at the moment? I look ridiculous in them. I'll always be one for plain clothes. On the plus side - at least I don't have to deal with the whole 'last season' thing when I wear block colours.


- SUPER HIGH HEELS
I'm 6ft in flats so when I wear really high heels I end up being Amazonian in stature. I'm broad too and I never seem to become stable in a sky-high pair of heels.


I'm sure there are 100s more things I suck at (in fact I know there are) but I don't want this post to be boringly long. If you enjoyed this post though, let me know and I'll do my best to write another very soon. Are there any things that you suck at?
