Beauty Things I Suck At and Bad Habits

This post contains affiliate links.

Makeup is something that I have only recently gotten in to. Which means I feel like there is still so much for me to learn. As I use my blog and my Instagram to document what makeup I buy; I wanted to make it clear that I’m no expert. In fact I have definitely picked up some bad habits along the way, which I should probably work on getting out of…

This is Beauty Things I Suck At and Bad Habits.

Contour 

Contour seems to be all of the rage at the minute, and I just can’t figure it out. No matter how many times I try it never looks right. I’m thinking that my bronzers may be too warm, so I’m going to invest in a cool toned shade and try again.

Eye Shadow

I have hooded eyes and find it really hard to create looks that compliment my eye shape. Don’t get me wrong I’ve seen a little bit of improvement, but I still have no idea what I’m doing. Let’s just say you won’t be seeing any extravagant eye looks on this blog. Even though I have discovered cream eyeshadow which has become a favourite.

Lip Liners

There isn’t a lot to say about this, as I don’t actually own a lip liner. I know, how can I call myself a beauty blogger? I’ve seen a lot of people rave about them, so I know that I should try one; and hopefully it will improve my lipstick application.

Eyebrows

I’ve never actually done anything to my brows, apart from tidying them up by plucking some stray hairs. I never joined the trend of extremely thin brows, and to be honest I don’t know what to do with them. As I attempted to fill them in a while ago, but it was a disaster.

 Sticking to a Skincare Routine

Skincare is something that I’m still trying to get into, but I find it hard to stick to. I love using the Body Shop Vitamin E range, and find that it really works for my skin, but actually using them daily is hard work. Well for me anyway. As I have really dry skin I make sure that I moisturise regularly, but cleansing and toning often go out of the window.

Sleeping in Makeup

This may be the worst one on the list. Sleeping in makeup is really bad for your skin, and it’s a habit I need to get out of. Fortunately it doesn’t happen very often, it’s mainly after a late night and I wash it off as soon as I can.

There we have it, those are Beauty Things I Suck At and Bad Habits

Is there any beauty things that you suck at or do you have any bad habits?

Thank you for reading!

    I'm hopeless at eye shadow! No matter how many tutorials I watch I just know I'm never going to create the perfect smokey eye!

    I totally suck at eyebrows, never really used to fill them in until sometime last year, and haven't found my perfect product yet. I'm gonna keep looking though!

    Omg, I have literally the same contouring issues as you, I get so jealous when I see girls wearing bronze and having contoured their faces perfectly because I just can't make it look nice on me!

    I also suck at contouring :/ practice makes perfect though!
    When I was a teenager I used to sleep with my makeup on (out of laziness) no wonder I had such bad skin!!

The recipe for the perfect family Sunday: Farm ani The recipe for the perfect family Sunday: Farm animals, Tractor Ted and ice cream 🚜🍦

If you’re local to Cheshire (or willing to travel for a really good scoop) you need to add @bidleadairy to your list📍

Not only is there ice cream, they have: cows, ponies, and a donkey to say hello to🐮

We didn’t stop for food this time, but we’ve made a mental note to come back as everything looked so good!😋

Both kids adore @tractorteduk so I knew this would be a hit, and they spent ages playing!💚

What’s your go to ice cream flavour? This time I went for Raspberry Ripple and White Chocolate M&M’s and it was 10/10😋
🍉 JULY 🍉 wholesome family moments, sunshine, and 🍉 JULY 🍉

wholesome family moments, sunshine, and way too much good food ☀️🍝

From surviving the first heatwave with water play in the garden to a lovely little trip to the farm, it’s been the best kind of month🤍

Make sure you scroll all the way to the end to see Jake getting eaten by a dinosaur 🦖😂

One year old baker at work👩🏼‍🍳

I’m surprised we had any mixture left to be honest😂

Water play keeping us sane in the first heatwave🌊

@trenthamestate days are our favourite🌳

Making a strawberry cheesecake went as well as the cupcakes😂🍓

Proof that they can actually play nicely together😂

My idea of a very good night😂

Noah graduated nursery🥺

@costacoffee dates❤️

When in doubt visit the farm🐮

Still dreaming of this @thebroughton_balterley 😍

All ready for the Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift tribute at @trenthamestate 🎤

We had such an amazing time, would definitely recommend seeing what other events they have on or booking next year🎼

Creamy pasta has my heart, but Jakes lasagna was insane! @raffaelesandbach 😋

Another @trenthamestate day out🚜

Ok so Ella actually hated this dinosaur😅 @hoozooanddinosaurworld 

So glad I managed to capture this🤣🤣🤣
It doesn’t matter where we are in the world, I wil It doesn’t matter where we are in the world, I will still have a carbonara🍝😂

A little roundup of things we had in Greece, that wasn’t from the all inclusive buffet😅

Oh and I had to throw in the freddo cappuccino because I’m still thinking about it😋

And my first time ever trying a gyros, when in Greece right🇬🇷

Don’t get me wrong, I had a full makeup bag just to the side, but these were always out😂

From the iconic @soldejaneiro 62, which always reminds me of holiday to my much loved @charlottetilbury palette 😍

Saying that the @maybelline foundation is new to me and I have been really enjoying it! It has SPF 20 and is great for dry skin✨

What always makes it into your holiday makeup bag?🩵🌺

Also I know the lighting isn’t the best, but we’re going with it😂

Missing mornings like this✨ Current mood: Sitting Missing mornings like this✨

Current mood: Sitting by a pool in Greece sipping a freddo cappuccino😍

Actual reality: Staring at my kettle in the UK wishing it could do magic tricks😭

Is it actually worth investing in a proper coffee machine? And more importantly, which one should I get?

I actually only like iced coffee, so I’m not sure if a machine is for me, but there’s got to be a way… right?😭😂

☀️ June ☀️ Spent the first half of the month melt ☀️ June ☀️

Spent the first half of the month melting on a beautiful beach on holiday, and the second half melting in my own house🫠 

Swipe to see how hot it was in Ella’s room, just in time for bedtime🙃

Isn’t the heatwave supposed to be coming back too? Send prayers (and fans)😂 How did you survive the  heat?!

1. Take off✈️
2. Couldn’t ask for anything more❤️
3.🐚🌺
4.❤️
5. I may have piled my flatbread a little too high😅
6. Father’s Day at @draytonmanor 🎢
7. There’s always time for a farm trip🐴
8. Our first cinema trip🎬
9. We’re big Toy Story fans in this house🤠
10. It’s been Caesar salad weather🥵
11. And we were able to sneak in a date afternoon🥰
12. An ice cream run was a must🍦
13. Especially as Noah was very brave during his preschool jabs🥺
14. I do not miss doing bedtime at this temperature🥵

We treated the kids to a meal out at weathervanemeirpark this weekend, and the family vibes were lovely. One of the biggest wins was that the staff brought over colouring pages and crayons for both kids without us even having to ask. Which is a lifesaver with two toddlers🥵

Noah and Ella were completely won over by the food. Noah cleared his plate of sausage, chips, and beans, and Ella was living her best life with pasta, corn on the cob, and chips (a toddler dream combo, let’s be real😂)

As for the adults, Jake loved The Big Melt burger. I ordered the Katsu Curry Feast, and we did have a little hiccup where my chicken looked a little pink, but I always judge a place by how they handle mistakes. The staff were absolutely brilliant, replaced it immediately, and even brought over a complimentary drink to apologise. Great customer service honestly makes all the difference.🫶🏻

It’s a super welcoming, stress free spot if you’re looking for somewhere to take the kids this weekend. 

Swipe to the very end to see Ella making sure no ice cream got left behind😂

What’s your ultimate go to meal when you eat out with the family?🍽️

🩵 Father’s Day at @draytonmanor 🩵 Yesterday we he 🩵 Father’s Day at @draytonmanor 🩵

Yesterday we headed to Drayton Manor for the first time, and we absolutely loved it! 🚂

The highlights:

🎢 We managed to hit all the rides we wanted.

⏱️ Queue times were super manageable—the longest we waited was 30 minutes, which is the absolute limit with a 1 and 3-year-old! 😂

🥵 It was too hot to make it to the zoo this time, but with animal-loving toddlers, we will definitely be back to check it out. 🐯

Have you been to Drayton Manor before? 

What’s your ultimate tip for taking toddlers to theme parks in the heat? 👇🏼
