Attention Beauty Lovers. Welcome to the next Beauties On Fire themed link-up. If you don’t know about Beauties on Fire, make sure to check out this post. Our next theme was decided via a Twitter poll. Anyone could vote and our winner was…”7 Deadly Sins.” All the AMAZING #beautiesonfire members have written posts with their own spin on the 7 Deadly Sins. The 7 Deadly sins are; Gluttony, Lust, Greed, Pride, Despair, Wrath, Sloth, and Envy.
I had so many ideas for this post. I decided to go with the 7 deadly sin: GREED! Greed is such a problem in the world today. So many people have become obsessed with money and will stop at nothing. It really is so sad and I am here to tell you that…Money will not solve all your problems. Many times it will only add to your list of problems. So be thankful for what you have and keep working.
Money will not solve all your problems. Many times it will only add to your list of problems. Click To TweetSince I am a beauty blogger, I have also added a list of 7 deadly beauty sins. I had such a blast coming up with them and I hope you enjoy them! Are you guilty of any of them?

7 Deadly Sins (GREED) Beauty Look:
I really love how this look turned out. I never wear much green but love how it looks with the greed theme. I also didn’t have a green lipstick so I used an eyeliner instead. It actually worked out nicely. What do you think?
7 Deadly Beauty Sins:
1.) Forgetting To Wear Sunscreen
I can’t stress how important it is to wear sunscreen and sun protection. Skin cancer is such a serious issue and it is so deadly. The sun can also age you so please just remember to put on sunscreen. This goes for everyone, no matter what color your skin is!
2.) Not Blending Contour
Contouring is so popular and I don’t see it going away anytime soon. However, please remember to blend your contour (unlike Crazy Beth in the GIF)
3.) Overusing Highlight
I am totally for using highlighters to accentuate features. However, ain’t nobody thinks the tin man look is in. So please don’t slather highlight all over your face (unless you are doing the highlighter challenge, of course). Make sure to apply with a light hand and blend. You can always add more if you need too. Crazy Beth looks like she is ready to compete with tin foil (or the Twilight vampires).
4.) Overdrawn Lips
This is just a big NO! I hate overdrawn lips so much. They make you look so fake and give you that “plastic surgery gone wrong” look. Simply, fill in your natural lips and apply a matching lipstick shade on top. This looks so much more natural. You can make your lips look larger by applying gloss to the center of the lips.

5.) Choppy Eyeshadow (Not Blending)
One of my biggest pet peeves is seeing eyeshadow not blended. Crazy Beth tried to make her eyeshadow not blended (however, it didn’t come out as bad as she wanted). Elisabeth is just too used to blending eyeshadow. Eyeshadow is one of the first things I notice on a person and it is just so important to blend properly. I am not saying you have to blend as amazingly as some of the Instagram gurus (I am totally convinced they filter the crap out of their photos to make it look so flawless. This may never be able to be achieved in real life). However, put some work into your eyeshadow and invest in some brushes. They don’t have to be expensive just have brushes of different sizes to make blending easier. Take the time to blend your eyeshadow and you will notice a huge improvement in your makeup.
6.) Being Too Tired To Remove Makeup
You need to remove your makeup! Let me say it again, YOU ARE NOT TOO TIRED TO REMOVE YOUR MAKEUP! Just do it! Your skin will thank you with clear skin and unclogged pores.

7.) Never Washing Makeup Brushes
Okay, Okay! You caught me! I am totally guilty of this beauty sin. I am staring at a mountain of unclean brushes as I type this post. Looks like Crazy Beth needs to get to work and clean her brushes. It really is so important because it preserves the life of your brushes. It also keeps nasty bacteria from building up and creating havoc on your face.

You absolutely cracked me up with this post, I were in stitches with your added extra, the photos are fantastic and I love how you made an alter ego with ‘Crazy Beth’ hahaha. Absolute legend! You are so right with everything you said here, I’m definitely guilty of some of these and have been guilty of others in the past! Sunscreen is the one I’m always guilty of, not taking off my make-up is a recurring offender if I’ve been on a night out and not washing my make-up brushes often enough.. Eyeshadow is something I used to be soooo bad at in my teen years, I’m having a flashback to the days I’d go to school with one shade of bright blue on my eyes, no blending, gradient or anything. Oh dear. Why I were even allowed out of the door looking like that I will never know! I’ve also gotten a little over excited with highlighter before then totally regretted it hahah!
Your eyeshadow for this look is perfect! I love the green sooooo damn much, the liner worked so well for your lip colour, too. Nailed it!
Haha that makes my day love!! I am so glad that I could make you laugh!! Haha!! I thought that would be a fun touch hahah!!!
I am so bad at not washing my brushes! Like so bad!! I used to be so bad at it too…and totally thought I was good haha!! I totally wonder why anyone let me out of the house too haha!!
AWW thanks so much love!! You are the sweetest!
It is so cool that you made your own gifs. I definitely agree with your 7 deadly sins. I am so bad about cleaning my brushes more so because they take forever to dry and I don’t have time to wait for them to dry… I guess it’s time to invest in a second set for when one set is being cleaned. Thanks so much for sharing!
AWWWWW that means so much to me girl!! I love making them!! I am terrible too!! I meant to do them today and then just didn’t feel like it. I have to get it together haha! And you are totally right!! They really do take forever to dry!!
Really in love with your look and the beauty sins!!! They’re so helpful for beginners and very true. I have been a sinner of not washing the makeup off, not blending and not washing my makeup brushes lol it’s all so tedious but I’m not a sinner anymore! I’ve learned my lesson. I broke out bad on my chin from not fully washing makeup off my face and I promise I learned my lesson lol
AWWW thanks so much girl!!! I had so much fun with this theme!! I am so bad at not washing my makeup brushes haha! It really is a problem!
I really like your look, the green eyes and lips came out veeeery nice, it looks great on you!! I think that your point of view about greed is absolutely correctly, money makes the world go round but that’s not necessarily a good thing, I live in Greece, a country with financial problems, now on my early 20s, I found out that I have to pay for the greed of the previous and present politicians and throng. The whole Europe hates us about that debt. So you’re absolutely right, the whole world is depended on money and cannot see what real happiness is. About the beauty sins, I can’t agree more. All seven are absolutely true.
AWWW thanks so much love! I never wear colored lips so it was fun haha!! I totally agree girl! And money doesn’t isn’t the cure all to problems haha! That is so sad girl!! I totally feel for you! That is just not cool! I had so much fun with the beauty sins! I am so glad you agree!
I love the contour gif so much. That’s how I feel any time I try to do contour. I “nope” right out of that one 99% of the time. I totally agree too, the Greed look is very classic Riddler and that just makes it even more badass, but still definitely looks like Greed!
I’m half guilty of #7. I don’t wash them often… but I also have enough brushes that I just pop them in a different jar and don’t re-use them unless it’s like the blending color brush 1-2 more times. I’m more likely to skip makeup than re-use a dirty brush because my skin answers for my slothlike sins… same with washing off makeup. Absolutely have to or instant breakouts.
The insta stories with this preview was the first thing in my feed this morning so I feel extra cool that I got the sneak peek! I need to get onto doing that and stop being a Sloth xD
Haha I had so much fun with those gifs haha!! That is hilarious girl!!! I had a blast creating this look! I am so glad you came up with this theme because it was just too dang fun!!! Same here washing my face is an absolute must!!! Haha aw that means so much that you watched!! I have been loving Instagram stories because I just can’t keep up with SnapChat even though I love it haha! I would love to watch your stories!!
Love the look!
Thanks so much girl!!
Oh gosh, I didn’t get to comment on this look last night! But finally, I have a moment to tell you everything that’s on my mind haha. Brace yourself, this is gonna be a world record comment lol.
1) I love the overall look! From far away, the greens look darker and it makes you look like such a badass! 😀 (I hope that’s not a terrible thing, lol).
2) On closer inspection, it looks absolutely gorgeous! I like the greens on your crease just as much as the one on lid! So gorgeous!! I like the small details you added, the $ sign. And the lips!! So green and dark just like the sin. I think the lips definitely tie the entire look together. I didn’t bother with lips on mine, for some reason. Haha.
3) Adding your own memes/gifs. I think this was like the greatest thing ever, it made me laugh so hard! 😀 contour one is my favorite. 😀
4) I very much agree with you on the 7 Deadly Beauty Sins…I’ve been a victim of some of those myself. Let me elaborate some more, if you don’t mind, lol.
–1) I have forgotten to wear sunscreen even on forecast days. Which I actually shouldn’t skip because we have cloudy weather the majority of the year here. (Boo!) This is however, my biggest sin, lol.
–2) I think I’ve blended contour like a….to the point it’s almost unnoticeable lol. So I think I’m good. Right?! You agree with me? Lol.
–3) Don’t think I’ve ever overused my highlight. I don’t like it either when people do that. If anything, I’m probably under-using because sometimes you can hardly see it at all lol.
–4) Overdrawn lips….I’m not sure how I feel about this one. I think when done right, it looks good. I don’t think it’s something people should do with glossy, creamy lipsticks. It tends to accentuate where the lip line ends even more. It should only be done with matte lippies. I personally hate to do it. It doesn’t work with my lip shape anyway lol. I’m more than happy with the size of my lips lol.
–5) Eyeshadow… I like to think that I’ve gotten better. Of course I’m not sure, lol. I blend obsessively and sometimes it still looks like it’s not blended all the way lol. I think it’s my brushes. Maybe I need new ones or better ones. 🙂
–6) I’m faithful to this one. I always remove my makeup even if I just wanna go to bed. I’ll even wash my face, apply toner, while I wait for the toner to sink in, I brush my teeth. Then add eye cream, and my moisturizer. I’ve gotten to the point where it’s a habit to do it every day, lol.
–7) Guilty of this just over the weekend. Lol. I hadn’t washed my brushes for, idk how long. To be fair, I don’t wear makeup daily. BUT, I was doing really good before that. I wash them weekly. Maybe I’ll have to put it on my schedule for some day.
Soo that’s it! I know I had way too much to say today! Lol. I can’t wait to see everyone else’s take on this theme. It was fun for me even though I didn’t have time to do more looks. <3
Haha omgsh girl! This is a world record comment and I LOVE it!! Haha and I totally was thinking the same thing! Once I added the green lip, I was like Dang I look so different haha!!! You’re so sweet girl. I never where crazy colored lips (eyes…YES…lips…NO). However, I love how it looked so now I want to purchase more colored lips haha!!!
I had a blast doing the GIFs! I filmed the videos and Joseph converted them for me!! I was so happy how they turned out…I just wish they were a little larger. I am learning haha. The one with the overdrawn lips made my laugh so HARD!! I looked ridiculous haha!!!
1.) Haha sunscreen is so important, but no easy to forget…especially when the weather is cloudy. I have been guilty of this too!
2.) I totally agree with you on your contour! You do an amazing job girl and no one can tell!!
3.) Haha I love strong highlights when they are done properly! I hate the tin man look thought. It looks so bad!!
4.) Haha overdrawn lips don’t work with my lips either. I agree when people barely overdraw there lips and use all matte colors you can’t even tell. However, so many times I see girls way overdraw their lips and it just isn’t flattering haha!!
5.) You have became a perfectionist when it comes to blending girl! I am beyond proud of you!! I have loved watching your makeup skills advance so much! I am just in AW!!!!!
6.) Yay!!! Me too girl!! I never leave my makeup on before bed! I just can’t! It just needs to come off! I am right there with you! It has become a total habit for me and I have noticed my skin loves it!
7.) I am SO bad at number 7! I haven’t washed my brushes in SO long and I really need to do it this weekend. I have SO many brushes so I can get away with waiting a little while. However, I is WAY overdue haha!!!
I loved this theme too girl and I can’t wait to see everyone’s!! I was unsure how I was going to do this post until yesterday haha!!
OMG I never replied back and it’s been a week (I didn’t get notified! :()
Anyway, yes, it seems once you try a crazy color, and you like, you want more. That’s the way it is for me and eyeshadows. That’s why I love colors. lol.
Aw! It’s so awesome that your bf helps you out with the blog! 🙂
1) I should know better! Lol. I live in a cloudy area almost 3/4 of the year hahaha
2) aww thank you!! 😀
3) lol I agree!
4) lol I might have seen a few unflattering looks as well.
5) aww thank you! 😭 you’re too sweet! My #1 fan <3 lol
6) yay to us for sticking with it! Although lately my skin has been breaking out so bad it sucks!!! I've gone the past week without makeup and it got better only to get worse again. Too many factors are at fault lol
This look is stunning on you!
AWWWW thanks so much love! You’re the best!
Omg I love this! Your makeup look reminds me of The Riddler, an enemy of Batman haha. I completely agree with your 7 deadly sins of beauty and I am actually guilty of some. Oops.
