16 first world beauty problems you can relate to

In the grand scheme of world problems, our day-to-day beauty ones typically fall into the not-so-serious category.

Because, let’s face it, having to redo your make-up in the morning because you put on too much blush pales in comparison to the likes of Ebola, the conflict in the Middle East and even the flu that has your coworker bedridden.

But that’s not to say we can’t have a whinge every now and then, because sometimes it ain’t easy having to deal with the problems we do. So let’s take this opportunity to vent about our First World Beauty Problems.

When your favourite product is discontinued......it’s actually become a bit of a running joke amongst my family and friends. Don’t ask Rose for a recommendation, because anything she recommends will be discontinued! Haha!

My first world makeup problems are not having enough time to do a full face in the morning comma having too many palettes to choose from and then just sticking to the same one for weeks on end and my hair going insanely frizzy as soon as there's even a speck of moisture around

When I have fake nails texting is so hard! I get so frustrated!

The sale one always get me. I can't afford it but if there is a big sale, especially at cheap places, I can't resist myself!

I can relate to the rain and hair salon.

In Melbourne, it happens all too often!

Lucy16 17 Nov 2018 9:45 AM

The sales! Oh the sales...

Lucy16 17 Nov 2018 9:44 AM

When my local pharmacy is out of my favourite skincare!

hthorpe 21 Jun 2018 11:29 AM

Why is this so true!

Shop A Everyday 7 Jan 2018 12:33 AM

For me, wind and rain just wreck my hair

Lucy16 17 Nov 2018 9:47 AM

Same here... Battle of the frizz gets me in a tizz!

Shop A Everyday 17 Nov 2018 1:41 PM

Yes and I have fine hair so any style or body is gone

These are all very relateable, the food in your teeth would be very embarrassing

Sootyhere 18 Jun 2018 3:15 PM

For sure. Hopefully your friend would tell you.

ELLIE_G 8 Sep 2017 9:39 AM

OMG, I once had lipstick on my teeth at a performance. Luckily my pals told me so. BEFORE I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE PERFORMING! I had to run back to the dressing room and rub it off my teeth and got onto the stage just as the curtains rose! I though heard that night was a great success! :P

blackkittykat 14 Aug 2017 2:26 PM

My make up runs like that poor bunny in summer. Apply a bit of make up; stand under fan to allow to dry/set and repeat. Hopefully some product sctually stays on your face!!!!

Lucy16 17 Nov 2018 9:48 AM

It's bad if you live somewhere humid!

josella432 11 Aug 2017 4:21 PM

Oh that poor bunny!

I'm not game to apply lipstick without a mirror though.

Mandy_1987 7 Aug 2017 11:29 PM

I dont actually relate to a whole heap of them. The sales when Im trying to save and summer makeup being impossible are definitely me though!

katie975 7 Aug 2017 8:28 PM

Haha that's how I know my manicure has grown out too much, when the keyboard tapping drives my coworkers crazy haha

Emma Ocean 19 Jul 2017 1:43 PM

Way wAy tooo relatable!! Oh my god it's too funny but so embarrassing at the same time!!

Goddess..... 16 May 2017 11:40 PM

There is a few that I've here but no big deal.

onlyoni 27 Apr 2017 4:29 PM

I can absolutely relate to some of these especially the nails, melting makeup and getting caught in the rain.

Amelia Hughes 12 Apr 2017 4:02 PM

When I do my hair, but then I go outside and wind just ruins it, haha
