I'm with you too. My main problem is lack of time. I SPECIFICALLY told once/remind each time now my hairdresser that what ever cut/style she gives me? if I can't recreate it myself at home alone in under 5 minutes, it won't happen & then all will have been a waste of her time & effort. I have a blow dryer - that I may have used 5 times total since I bought it. Round styling brush? Yep, that too. Ever used it? Nope. Well ok, once - but it got so stuck & snarled in my hair that I thought I'd have to cut it out so that was the end of that. I HAVE Learned to use a product in my hair that works basically well with my limitations.
Make-up? Same time constraint. 5 minutes or less in the morning. With the help of my sister, I have found a product that combines base & powder in one. Swipe it on. Pretty good coverage. Add blush. If I feel fancy, add mascara or lipstick. Makeup use only seems to happen 50% of the time though. *sigh* And yes, my face needs the help.
I missed out on the girly gene for makeup & hair too, it seems.
