Indulging the Bimbo in me...

Indulging the Bimbo in me...

After scrolling through my blog posts I realised that I havent blogged anything about 'makeup'. How can this be? Makeup is one of the loves of my life. I'm a self-proclaimed makeup expert hehehe and yet no ramblings about makeup? How sad! hhehehehe

So to atone for my sins against all things 'beauty', I shall ramble about my major Budget Makeup that i own. Indulge me for a moment while the Bimbo in me rejoices.

Makeup #1

Now for those who knows me personally, they all know that I would never leave the house without Eyeliner & lipstick. Forget everything else. As long as I have my eyeliner & lipstick on, I'm ready to take over the world! Greasy face and all. I have no clue why I prefer to have eyeliner on rather than covering up the oil rig that is my face, but I guess each to her own quirks, right?

Makeup #2

There was a time when I thought that the makeup base was just the makeup company's ploy to get people to buy more of their products so I never actually felt the need to and try any. But after years of experimenting with different products and diffe rent ways of putting on makeup I realised that sometimes you do need a little extra "help" in ensuring that your makeup doesn't melt into a pool of goo. Most girls would be content by just putting on moisturisers before their makeup but for people like me who generates so much oil that I can fried an egg on my face hehehe....

So When my friend fr yadley introduce me their Make-up base hahaha I feel it like she want to push sales to me, But I was itching to try something. I mean what girl wouldn't? They are cheap too. Hence my encounter with the produc t make me so happy. The gel-like substance actually makes your skin all smooth and soft after application. It has no smell, which I love, and sets almost immediately. Since it has OD control (oil/dry control) it's suitable for all skin types. I am in love with the fact that you don't have to use much to get a smooth even skin and also the fact that it actually r eally does control the oil secretion on my face. I hardly need to use facial blotters anymore. Woohoo! And of course, since my face ain't so oily anymore touch ups don't happen that often anymore. Major time saver.

Since this product is only about $29, it'll definitely be a good substitute for all those pricey makeup bases from MAC or Estee.

Any cons for this product? None so far :)

Makeup #3

My 2ways powders.. Been using this brands for almost 12yrs and it never fail me. I must wear this powder when I`m out during the day time cos it contain sun filter. The important stuff for the skin if u are out during the day beside yr moisturizer.

One thing that I hate most about liquid foundations is the fact that for those that promises a matte finish dries too quickly upon application. As for the rest, it is either too runny that it does not offer any coverage whatsoever or too moisturising that you can actually fry an egg on your face within minutes after application. So yeah, it was for these reasons alone that I have decided to do without liquid foundations all these years. Plus, I hated the foundations stains on my tudung and shawls. Liquid foundations and I have never had a good relationship.

All My make up must be done within my budget cos I don't want to burden MD. And it Not an easy feat, I tell you. Lucky for me i still have friend that still work in the cosmetic department and i can still get staff discount.

So with my Eyeliner, Lipstick and 2way powder hahaha.. some time Abit of blusher ajalah is enough for me to have a great time out side with my family (please indulge my perasan moment :P).

So yeah, those are all my product that I apply on my face. I can safely say that I'll be sticking with this 3 products for good. Unless I find something else that can top them. Or maybe when I can finally pluck up the courage to actually go up to those luxe makeup counters like MAC or Estee and splurge like crazy. But I don't see that happening anytime soon *sigh*. Or may be when My girls are all big and we will be going to this cosmetic counter with together-gether ... Hmmmmm.... I still can dream right!

Okdokie.. now need to prepare MD dinner ...:)
Enough with make up ...:)
