Why Beauty Blogging Is Not For Me

I used to beauty blog a lot. If you’ve been following my blog since 2014, you would know that I posted a heck lot of product reviews that year because I’ve just had a bad breakup and your girl needed something to do other than crying on her bed so beauty blogging was the answer. I put up beauty posts sparingly throughout the years until… I just don’t anymore.

Beauty blogging is expensive

I mean, where is the lie? Even drugstore products are expensive these days. I’m not going to spend hundreds of ringgit every month just to purchase every new product on the market to review and that is from the drugstore, everyone, not Sephora. Not to add the fact that my skin is sensitive and 85% of the products don’t work for me.

I’m just not enthusiastic enough

I loooooooove makeup and skincare and finding products that work for me but I’m just not that enthusiastic enough to be posting beauty-related posts every week. Beauty blogging is not a be all end all on my blog and I don’t depict my blog as a beauty blog anymore. It’s more of a personal and lifestyle blog now aka I-can-post-whatever-the-heck-I-want blog. Bahaha.

I don’t try new makeup and skincare products all that much

You can say that I’m the last person to be trying a product that came out months ago just because I don’t feel the need to buy them while they are still ‘hot’ on the market. Yeah I’m a loser, I know, but if I don’t feel like purchasing any new products, then I just won’t.

I’m more of a loyal user

… in terms of product rotation. Hey, I’m still using a moisturiser that I like from 2 years ago so I can be considered as a loyal user, am I right? I rarely change up my routine once I found the right one for my skin. I did try a new moisturiser last month, though, and my skin HATED it so I went ahead and purchased my holy grail. All is well now. Problems solved.

If you’re a beauty blogger, please tell me your secrets of being a loyal beauty blogger and do you ever have problems like I do?

  1. I love this! I just recently started a blog and even though I love make up and skin care I realized too that I’m not enthusiastic enough about beauty products to go talking about it on my blog. I opted for the personal/lifestyle side of things too! Drug store products can add up quickly too! You’re absolutely right!

  2. I am one of those makeup-content enthusiastic people but I always wonder “what if I get sick of makeup/trying new products” It’s definitely been a thought that has been on my mind lately – I adore blogging so much and I freak out thinking if I get sick of makeup I’d have nothing else to blog about/mix in with beauty content.

  4. I’m a big makeup and skincare enthusiast so I don’t think I will ever tire of talking about makeup and there are always advances in skincare/ingredients so I like to keep up with what’s new. I blog because I like the conversation around makeup and love to hear other peoples thoughts! xx

  5. Makeup & skincare ain’t cheap! I think you should be blogging whatever you feel easy.
    The blog doesn’t have to be solely made for beauty 🙂

  6. Yay me too! But I love reading your beauty posts tho.

    I couldn’t fathom people who love trying to try new skincare/makeup brand every month but I guess people is different anyway lol.

  8. hehe your not wrong, beauty blogging is very expensive and very hard to keep up with the constant launches! I just try to write about things I care about and often that is beauty but I do add some off posts off topic too. For me it’s all about what I’m excited to write about, as if I can’t find the passion for it, I can’t expect my readers too! great post 🙂 xx

  9. Super true babe! Beauty blogging requires a lot of ka-chinggg and I’m not so blessed in that department lol. For me, I’ll try to write beauty related posts on the blog because I really like it though it’s not going to feature any new launches or certain products hehe 😀
