There's a meme creeping through the
Total Beauty blog
community.

Here are my answers:
My Five
Must-Not Have Beauty Items
1) Perfumed face
moisturizer, lipstick or blush. The kind
that smells like the bottom of your Granny's purse,
where the stench stays with you long after you apply
it. I swear nothing makes me more nauseous.
2) Lipliner. Even if it's the most
neutral shade on earth, I look like the joker when I
wear it. Also, I can't stand when people go
above their natural lip line. Like, who are you
kidding? Please. Unless you're at a photo shoot
starring you, don't do it. And even then, let someone
else do it, because you're not doing it right.
3) Home Haircolor Kits. Ummm... never tried
it, never want to. Honestly. No offense to those who
have sworn by the same shade of 'Shingleberry #13' or
whatever since they were twelve — I raise my glass to
you and your at-home hair care talents. For me, hair
color is just one of those things I'd much rather
leave to a pro. Because I'd screw it up majorly. End
of story.
4) Loose powder. Hate the stuff with a
passion. If someone gave me canister of loose gold,
I'd (politely) return it immediately. It makes such a
mess and I can't even deal. I've used pressed powder
since I was thirteen and it works just fine, thank
you.
5) Pewter Eyeshadow. Silver lids were a
popular trend when I was in high school, and it still
pops up every now and then on the red carpet. In my
experience, it always looks like it's creasing, even
if it's not — no matter how fab the quality of the
product. Besides, it's just shiny and fugly.
My Five
Biggest Beauty
Crimes
1) Sun
worshipping. After spending as much of my
life as possible on the beach and working as a
lifeguard throughout high school and college, I've
been known to go a little overboard with the basking.
I swear this summer will be different (I kind of have
no choice because I'm starting to run out of room on
my body for sunspots. Ew, right?).
2) Sleeping with makeup. In a word:
lazypants. No excuse.
3) I had acrylic nails from 1994-2000. I
don't think i need to elaborate on this one.
4) I'm a nail biter. Still better than
rockin' acrylics, I say.
5) From Memorial Day to Labor Day, my
hairdryer gets zero action. This might not
seem like a crime, but I promise it is. Air-dried, my
hair is a frizzy mess. I tell myself that I'm "making
up for all the heat styling I do throughout the
winter" but its more like the lazypants thing again.
So I wear a headscarf every day in the summer (see
avatar above) in the hopes that no one notices my
actual hair.
