Let's make adulting cool again!

2017 was bizarre for a number of reasons. Donald Trump got elected as the president of the United States of America and a woman claiming to be a mermaid was picked up by cops in California. Closer home, momos were almost banned and a college principal said that dressing like men (read: wearing jeans) caused hormonal imbalances in women. In the 12-month madness that was 2017, there were also a number of peculiar trends that dominated the beauty industry. Not least of them was unicorn-inspired makeup, which caused an entire generation of adulting millennials to turn into rainbow-pooping, bubble-residing nincompoops.

Thankfully, it's a new year, and sanity has prevailed (more or less). But, if you're still crushing over unicorn-inspired hair, nails, or makeup, here's 5 reasons you need to stop now!

1. You Are Unlikely To Step Out Of The House Like This

That highlighter looks good on Insta, with a couple of filters. It should stay there.

Nope, not her. 

3. Regular-Looking Things Do The Job Just As Well

When you're working with so many colours, expect a few speed bumps along the way. 

Are you as done with the unicorn trend as we are?
