5 SIMPLE BEAUTY GOALS

After posting my goals for 2016 last month, I've been thinking about a few goals that I have in the world of beauty. Well, I wouldn't say that they're goals as such, it's more a case of breaking a couple of bad habits, but I just thought it would be fun to throw these into the mix too!

Embrace the eyebrow sisterhood
I put my hands up and admit that I am one of the biggest offenders of forgetting the age old saying 'eyebrows are sisters not twins'. And boy, some days is it truer than others. I need to remind myself to step away from the tweezers and face facts - they will never be identical, and that's okay! Stop obsessing over them Laura, move on.

Leave that spot alone
I'm just going to come out and say it, I'm one of those people who just can't leave a spot alone. There, I said it, let the judging commence. I'm forever layering on spot-fighting products which is only drying out my skin making the whole mess harder to cover. Spots happen, I need to stop stressing over trying to get rid of them and instead focus on keeping my skin healthy and allowing them to heal naturally - no picking!

Drink water like it's going out of style
I'm a great believer in water doing wonders for your skin, making it glowing, hydrated and healthy. I like to think that I do a pretty good job of drinking water during the week, but then it gets to the weekend and well, basically I just forget... I need to make a point of keeping the water flowing all week and not substituting it for Maltesers on a weekend (woops!).

Don't over do it
One of the mistakes I have made over the years, and I don't think I'm alone here, is making my skincare routine far too complicated and including way too many products than necessary. I've found that my skin is at it's best when I am using only a few products and keeping my routine simple. Rather than layering on all of the many cult skincare products that are out there, I need to find what works for me and stick to it - remember, everyone's skin is different!

Perfect that liquid eyeliner
Over the years I have shied away from liquid liner as I just can't quite get the hang of it (usually it ends in me frustrated and drenching cotton pads with eye make up remover!). Practice makes perfect and nowhere is this more true than in the case of liquid liner. Just persevere Laura, you'll get there in time and that flick will be a thing of beauty.
