I’m neither a person good in makeup nor dress up. But as a girl, I still think we gotta learn some basic make up skills so we can be presentable when it comes to important events or occasions. :D
. I’m not so rich enough to find a makeup artist to do professional makeup for me everyday
And here’s my sharing of cosmetics which I found it’s GOOD~ After the trial and error myself~
 |
| what's so fun in this little pouch? |
Starting from the eyes
the VERY First time I bought cosmetic was when I’m in Form 3, and the first thing I had bought is thisàMascara!!!
Because I always believe that eyes reflects the soul the physical appearance of a person~ but this is just my personal opinion…:P that time I was believing that mascara got the magic power of making one’s eye look attractive~lol (watching too much of advertisement)
The mascara that I had tried before is Revlon (suppose to be the the very 1st cosmetic I bought myself!*excited*),its not that good.
After that I had tried a range of Maybelline’s mascara and they turned out to be much much better than Revlon’s! Its definitely worth for its price~ Nice and affordable~ and I don’t remember which I had tried.
I like black mascara the most, but had tried once for Dark chocolate colour, because that time it was on SALE! And there’s no black one on the rack that time.
Anyway I don’t find much difference~
I always wanted to try Lancome because I always heard of the good reputation from many others, but then Jim Jim had told me something after she had used Lancome and changed to use Maybelline. She now thinks that she actually doesn’t need to spend so much for Lancome because Maybelline is just as good. J And the price are a lot cheaper of course!
But there’s one problem for me about Maybelline, it still smudges on my too oily eyes! For others it’s okay and works pretty well, but my eyes are too oily and sometimes it will smudge a bit. :(

And now I found the new love of mine! It’s Majolica Majorca!!!! I heard this one for excellent reputation from my friend and it was highly rated by the Taiwan and Japan girls! They claimed that this mascara is so waterproof that you can wear it to swim and found that your mascara is still with you after the swim, i actually did tried it for swim once because i am curious to know whether it is true~and YES ITS TRUE! it is also very oil proof! This is more important for me!
After seeing so many good comments of this mascara, I think it must be really good so I gave it a try!
Now I’m very much in LOVE with this!!its affordable and yet so good! Now I have no worries for my mascara~ but the bad side is that I must be very careful to apply it, because once the mascara stains on my skin around the eye, it’s quite difficult to remove, I need to use make up remover or some eye cream to remove them and this is wasting my time. After all, there’s no other problem for me. I love them very much and definitely will repurchase them!

Eyeliners are the second thing that I bought for cosmetics. But they doest work really good on me, because they tend to smudge off easily since I have the bad habit of blinking my eyes very extraordinary frequently…out of my conscious most of the time. I don’t use eyeliners very often because I still find it’s troublesome to apply to my eyes, and I don’t see much difference when I use them last time. But not until I found my new favourite piece of eyeliner. J
I tried a few crayon liners and liquid liners before, and everytime end up giving them for my mum because they smudge on my eyes!
Hate it much because this made me look like I haven’t sleep for many nights and turned out to be like a panda! The one which is second to my current love is Revlon crayon eye liner.
The first time I came across with this eyeliner was in 2008, that time my friend make up for me for the ‘Dance of Destiny event’ and she was using this.
We had make up for smoky eyes, where she had used the Faceshop’s black colour eye shadow for us. That make up was super waterproof and oil proof! Because that night I was sweating a lot but until the event ends, surprisingly I found that my eye makeup were still the same! The downside is that it took me forever to remove my eye makeup when I was back to hostel.
But I still bought it because that was the only eyeliner which is so oil proof I knew that time, and ended up giving it to my mom again because it still smudges on my eyes, due to the fact that I am not using any eye shadow/face powder which can aid the eyeliner to be more oil proof.

After that I tried for liquid eyeliner. The one I recently found out which was so far so good is from “Heavy Rotation”, recommended by Annie! Oh I love this so much now because it won’t smudge! it is also very easy to remove. This liquid eyeliner is removed as tiny flakes on the cotton, not the type containing lots of pigments, so you won’t have panda eyes. Downside is that it is not that black like the crayon liner, besides, it will go off easily with the glue on the false lashes when you are sticking false lashes and take off. This is the one currently I found most useful for me. I had 2 with me now because I bought the 2nd one on SALE in Watson, it was only RM31++ if not mistaken, and the normal price is RM49.90 in SASA. JJJ so much discount I get!!!hahahaha….
The one I recently found important is eyebrow pencil! Actually I had bought eyebrow pencil since long time ago, and there was story behind this! That time I was trying to trim my eyebrow and I was not really good in this. But yet I am so confidence that I didn’t notice that I accidentally trimmed until part of my eyebrows were gone@_@ . Then I looked so funny with that partly gone eyebrow!!! So I decided to go out at the weekend and bought an eyebrow pencil from ELIANTO to rescue them. i just use them temporarily to cover the defect part of my eyebrows, after that I quit using them. The same things happened; I gave the eyebrow pencil to my mom….again.
After years, I finally get back to them again after realizing they are important to make your figures sharpened or change the look of a person. I bought eyebrow pencils, still from ELIANTO, because I think it’s good enough and cheap. But the colour doesn’t really match my original eyebrows. So I tried eyebrow powders from FACESHOP, I bought it at the time I went to walk around in Village Mall after getting too bored studying in Starbucks with Evelyn, and I love this very much! Because the colour is matching my eyebrow colour way much better! And I think its more natural for me, plus that it is easier to apply than pencils! This one is also very selling in very worth price, around RM35++?? Not really remember it. I had been using it for almost one year and still left a lot! This box will last me for many years I guess. :D
I seldom use Eyeshadow . I had bought only one from Majolica Majorca, because that time I am thinking of makeup myself for the prom night. But I bought the wrong colour, which doesn’t look good on me. So end up giving it to mom also~~~I’m now still looking for a nice eyeshadow pallete, i should have try for more colours to create more fun in eye makeup~
For my skin, I didn’t bought much cosmetics, because I am always afraid they will clog my pores.
The first time I bought a skin cosmetic was control base from KANEBO, but is an open rack product so it is not expensive. It is a green colour control base (use for skin with reddish spots, claims to reduce the redness), I used this very seldom and till now there’s still some in the bottle~ the second skin cosmetic is still…control base!
This time I bought a purple colour control base from THE SKIN FOOD ( this is to make your face look a little bit more pinkish and create healthy look).
After that, I bought another bottle of Lime Secret Shine Base also from THE SKIN FOOD, I like this one most, it have a fresh smell of Lime and contains shimmering pearl powders which makes the skin have the healthy glowing look but yet doesn’t seems too over to be applied in day time.

At the time where BB creams won all the heart of the girls and get advertised everywhere, I decided to get one for myself too. Still I am buying from THE SKINFOOD. I bought the one with aloe vera essence in it, and its stated for pimple prone skin. But I don’t find it’s that good, easily goes off before i reach home at the end of the day, besides, it is not having good coverage. However, they are not creating more problems for my skin. I am still using it because I had bought it and I am only going to buy another tube of foundation or BB cream until I finish them. I’m trying to find a better one this time.
Face powder is the least range of product I had bought, till few months ago I just get one. Which is from the ‘Heavy Rotation”. Have no idea why I bought them, maybe it’s because I think their eyeliner is so good so I shall give a try to their face powder too. I found nothing special for this one.
I got only one blusher till now, which is also from THE SKIN FOOD( a big fan of them last time because of thinking their range of products seems not bad since they are all made from foods we ate, maybe also because the products were packed in such lovely packaging).
This blusher doesn’t belong to me at first, I wanted to buy for mom but bought the wrong colour, so end up to be mine now. Last time I was using it to class because my friend said that I looked very pale in the morning so I wanted to look healthier then I use them. :P

The most cosmetic I had bought is for lips. Both lipbalms and lipgloss, because my lips were very very dry and I always have problem with this! i need special lip cream from skin specialist all the time! You can see me carrying more than one lipbalm in my bag always, perhaps there will be 3 or 4 if I remember to bring them all along~
I never bought lipstick till now because applying lipstick was nightmare to me, I always hate that smell of lipstick because when I when I was back in kindergarden, my teacher and mom will apply them for me whenever there is stage performance.
And I felt that I can’t close my lips and I don’t dare to drink or eat because of the sticky lipstick on me, the smell terrified me too. But I knew that nowadays the lipsticks were having much better texture, might be trying them someday.

| Those i brought it back with me :) Clinique lip gloss, The Face Shop liquid lipbalm, Eucerin lipbalm, Lip Ice lipbalm, and The Face Shop's shea butter dual lip balm-with exfoliator at the bottom layer in one set but now its taken off already~ |
So I am buying lipbalms all the time, and also make them lost most of the time~ uncountable lipbalms I had bought before, not really remember them now. My favourite is the type of lipbalm which change colour according to temperature. I prefer this type because they serve 2 functions, moisturizing and giving the light pink tint which is very natural and will never be too over to be used every day to class and anywhere, the one recently I used is from THE FACESHOP(the shea butter lipbalm), and THE SKIN FOOD. Almost finish them now! J

| this one is very cute! :) and i love the light pinkish tint! |
The latest one is this with a cute bottle! From THE FACE SHOP. This one is in a liquid form, and the bottle wins my heart because it looks so CUTE! Just bought this last month at the price of RM35.90. The salesgirl told me this will moisten your lips and giving your lips a natural pink tint..etc..etc… and then I bought it because I never tried this type before. Annie said that it looks natural just like my own lip’s colour. But the downside is I can’t apply them too many times, the colour will look too intense and seems like I am having heavy lips makeup. So I just apply a little bit at the morning and reapply my other lip balm on the rest of the day.

| These are the useful little things i had in my cosmetic pouch~ |
That’s almost all that I have in my cosmetic pouch
oh no I think this is an extra long essay today. Now I wished that I can get an assignment title of “What’s in my cosmetic pouch” , so I can copy this hell long essay and submit it! LOL~~Anyway, I just enjoy writing nonsense stuffs like this and believe me I ever wrote my diary for 3-5 pages whenever I think I have loads of thoughts in my mind that day~ for your info… my diary is not the handy small type, it’s a very BIG planner, where one page supposed to be use to record for 3 or 4 days event.
So now I don’t write so much in my diary like I used to and as alternate i type on this e-diary so that when I am graduate I don’t need to ship back one big box of diaries which are soooo heavy. ( I had already brought back 2 for my foundation year and I even take off the cover which is so divine because they were very heavy)
Gonna stop typing here now. ^_^
