MAKE UP!

I never even put powder on my face until the last months of high school senior year when a pretty friend kindly advised me to. And in grade school I was known as the girl who never combed her hair.

Anyway, I recently attended a make-up workshop by Marj Sia. I have really admired this artist ever since I saw her work from Tricia G.'s blog. It was my idea of make-up artistry, that does not only entail basic, everyday looks but really experimenting with colors as if the the face was a canvas.

The workshop was really expensive, by the way haha. I just plunged into it. Included in the package was a make-up brush set and a lot of freebies such as Nivea sunblock (which I found out was worth P510!), Dove shampoo, Freshlook daily contact lenses, Extremefinds bracelet (which I lost during my commute :|) and SugaRush cupcakes. They're awesome. You need to see them:

And now all I can do is watch Michelle Phan videos on Youtube. I have known her beforehand, but whenever I watch her videos, I could not remember anything afterwards because it was like she was using make-up-speak that I cannot comprehend. Now, I'm happy to say that somehow I can! Also, I have been reading product reviews from Liz Lanuzo, which I find very helpful because she puts the pros and cons of products instead of praising them blindly.

Now this poor girl, refusing parental allowance and without receiving her first salary, purchased a small eyeshadow palette today, and have managed to resist to buy foundation. I am going to be a penniless made-up girl at the rate I'm going. Who cares! Minsan lang ako maexcite ng ganito. Haha.

Later I'll post some photos as I make a mannequin out of my mother. ;) <3

Love,
Sam
