This coming Sunday evening is our most-awaited GRADBALL . It's like Prom except that we don't have dates. Haha. No BOYS Allowed This Time .
My problem this time is that I don't know where to get my make-up done. I went to Piandre at Libis for my prom last year but it's so expensive in that salon that I can't afford it this year. Haha. It's either I go to a salon like Bench Fix or do the make-up myself.
Since I've been looking at make-up blogs for around three weeks now and I can say that I've learned a lot from different sorts of people, I've decided to do the make-up myself. I will probably buy eyeshadow palettes from Elianto, The Face Shop or G-lish.
I hope everything will work-out on my
FIRST REAL DEAL MAKE-UP PROJECT.
Oh btw, I bought new shoes for my gradball. I absolutely loooooove it. The shoes yells:
"When Becky Bloomwood meets Elle Woods". Interesting huh?
I'll show you the pictures of my dress and the shoes soon so watch out for that.
Isn't it sad when a beauty product that you haven't used much expires and you need to throw it away?
You see, I bought this liquid eyeliner from Nichido last mid-October and I've used it only ONCE .
Take note: ONCE . Now. I have to throw it away.
Yah, I know it's cheap but still I should've bought something else. I recall buying that when I am clueless on how it works. Haha.
I know. I know.
STUPID MOVE.
At least, I've learned my lesson. I SHOULD NOT buy things that I don't know how to use.
By the way, I've also researched about the expiration dates of beauty products. To those people out there who doesn't know how long a product really lasts, here is a list. I hope this helps.

NAH.
Hmm. Not Yet.
Make-up Artistry excites me.
Have you ever felt that feeling that you’re like a kid waiting for Mr. Santa on Christmas Eve?
I can feel that same giddy feeling again.
Whenever I would see those bright colorful palettes and the magic they make on peoples’ faces it’s like I’m a kid again on Christmas Eve.
I have been very interested in make-up these past weeks. I kept on browsing through the blogs of the make-up addicts. Hahaha. Now, I decided to create my own blog. In this way, I could explore the make-up world further! I have a new dream that I can’t wait to fulfill.
Guess what?
I want to be a make-up artist!
Wouldn’t that be fun? The magic you can do turning those ladies (or guys) into bombshells? Hahaha.
Nine words: I am so excited I just can’t hide it.
Till next time! ;)
