Instant, Removable Beauty

(First post ever about make up)

Decided to unpack my mini makeup bag.


And this is what I found.
(Quite strange when you're 22 and surrounded by people who consume makeup on daily basis yet this is all you got. Pft.)


Clockwise:
Nivea Essential Care lip balm
(I use it daily)
The Body Shop lipstick
(in a very natural color)
 Make Up For Ever lipstick
(again, in a very natural color)
 Vaseline Pure Petroleum Jelly 
(not really a makeup, it just happens to be inside the makeup bag. 
I use it overnight everyday)



(Messed-up) Clockwise:
Make Up For Ever 24S Blush Brush
 Revlon The Remover
The Body Shop Camomile Gentle Eye Make-Up Remover 
(can also be used to remove light makeup, such as BB cream)
Revlon ColorStay Aqua Mineral Makeup
(nevermind the name, it's just a shimmering powder foundation after all.
I usually use it as a regular powder)
Revlon CustomEyes Waterproof Mascara
The Face Shop Power Perfection BB Cream
Make Up For Ever Powder Blush
(in a very neutral shade)
Maybelline The Falsies Waterproof Mascara
Make Up For Ever Eyeshadow
(again, in a very neutral shade)
unbranded eyelash curler
Revlon Liquid Eyeliner
Yves Saint Laurent Eyeliner Effet Faux Cils
(excuse the name, it's just an eyeliner pen to be exact)
Revlon Eyeliner Pencil
(been buying this since highschool,comes with a built-in smudger)
Make Up For Ever Sculpting Blush
(you name it; in a very, very natural shade)

Not pictured
Make Up For Ever Eye Prime

Most of them are left unused in my makeup bag most of the time cause I only use BB cream, mascara (and sometimes a little bit of eyeliner), lipbalm (with sometimes a little touch of lipstick) for daily use. I don't even apply powder. (And I don't even have one!)
The most expensive makeup I got here is the YSL eyeliner one. I got it for AU$ 65 at Myer dept. store in Melbourne (now they sell it for AU$ 59 online), while at Sephora.com they sell it for only US$ 32. And in an Indonesian online makeup store they sell it for IDR 450k.
Yes, God can be unfair sometimes.. Especially for the makeup rookie.

Dear Daddy

It's hard when you set your Dad as a standard
when measuring men's qualities cause
they just simply can't compete.
Not even close.

"When you're looking for a husband, look for someone who can make money
without any help from his parents.
Don't ever marry Mommy's little boy. They're cowards." --Dad
