Makeup as a Mood Lifter

Today, I put my face on. I realise this probably sounds like nothing out of the ordinary but after a week of being bare faced, it feels pretty good! I've not had the time in the morning or felt in the mood to bother for the last week and it's interesting to reflect on what this does to my mood. Somehow it feels easier to wallow in misery (and considerably easier to slink off to bed) with no makeup on whereas a bit of makeup makes me feel more confident and positive that I can tackle what the day throws at me.

So, next time I feel like not bothering, I will remind myself that making that little bit of effort is really worth it in the end.

Clinique Heftiest Hibiscus* putting a smile back on my face

I wondered if you ever go through spates of not wearing makeup or do you always make a point of wearing it come what may? Do you find that wearing makeup gives you a confidence boost or are you the same person, with or without?


* Clinique Intense Chubby Stick in Heftiest Hibiscus is a press sample, the delicious macaroons that came with it might have put a smile on my face too. Don't tell my diet I said that!
