Beauty and the Beast......

Beauty is defined as a “combination of qualities, such as shape, colour, or form, that pleases the aesthetic senses, esp. the sight”

Nowadays there are so many ‘beauty’ products that are meant to enhance our natural good looks…but where do you draw the line between enhancing beauty and ending up looking like something from a death metal concert..

 

 

Now….don't get me wrong…I'm not preaching…I'm a Class-A offender when it comes to abusing certain products….in fact I’m almost certain I keep self-tan manufacturers in business. 

 

It has taken me years to 'master' the art of self tan and even now I get it wrong sometimes. 

 

Last year I was forced to take a good 2 days off of work after my self-tanning activities left me looking like the Oros man. 

 

I was glowing like the victim of a radio-active spill. My skin was SO vividly orange that I removed myself from society until I had achieved a skin tone that was vaguely believable….

 

It takes me about 2 hours to get ready for an average night out and with each passing week new products that do all kinds of awesome things are added to the shelves of Clicks.... 

 

So I did a little calculation and worked out the amount of time i spent applying makeup products: 

 

• 7 hours per week 
• 35 hours per month
• 420 hours per year
• 5040 hours since I started wearing makeup 

 (talk about living life to the fullest o_O) 




The sad thing is that there are woman who put even MORE effort into their appearances than I do and they end up looking  a li'l something like this:

So ladies....before you pick up that makeup brush, apply that extra coat of eyeliner or even glance at your bronzer...give some thought to these poor specimens above and make sure you don't leave your house looking like a replica...
