Why am I looking so smug?

Why am I looking so smug?

… Well, I just removed my makeup in under 1 minute. That’s why!

And no, this is NOT an advert. It’s just little old, energy-limited, chronically ill me, wanting to share this absolute godsend that’s recently come into my life, in the hopes of helping other people like me … make life just a teensey bit easier.

I don’t know about you guys, but one reason why I hardly ever wear makeup – aside from not having the time and energy most days – is because I dread taking it off at the end of the day.

The end of the day is pretty much the end of my capabilities. I just need to get my bra off, let my tits hang loose, put my pyjamas back on (hello elasticated waist), and collapse on the sofa or in bed. Nowhere in this routine do I have the energy to sit there faffing around with cotton pads, makeup remover, cleansing/toning and moisturising. Uuuugh, I just don’t have the energy and I hate it. So, I don’t bother wearing makeup a lot of the time, to save myself the hassle.

Until recently, that is. Don’t get me wrong – I still don’t wear makeup that often, due to the whole limited-energy thing that comes with ME/POTS. However, nowadays when I DO make the effort – I no longer dread the laborious task of removing it later on, thanks to this absolute game changer.

The game changer I’m talking about is the Body Shop’s camomile makeup remover. You scoop some of it up on your fingers, and then rub it all over your face – including lips and eyes. Sit there for a minute, and BINGO! Your makeup has melted off (including your waterproof mascara and hard-to-budge lippy). Then rinse with warm water, and make your way over to the sofa or bed for your evening sloth routine.

No cotton pads, no makeup remover, or bottles of cleanser and toner. No unnecessary loss of spoons – or chunks of your life that you’ll never get back.

My god, I think I SHOULD be getting paid for this. Considering this isn’t an advert, it really does sound like one.

Anyways, you get the point. You want to look nice, but don’t want all the faff at the end of the day? Try this stuff. It’s fucking great!
