What I Want for Christmas

So I finally had my interest in makeup and I sort of wanted to complete my makeup collection. I am not a professional makeup artist or entered any makeover seminar but the fact is that I want to satisfy the interest I have. Even though how much I am interested, the problem is that I lack the resource and off course money. If only Santa could include the following on my wish list (LOL).







First, I really want this set of brushes . This is a Charm Pro 21 piece brush set made by Beauty and Minerals. You can click the link if you want to visit their online shop. I think this is a Filipino made set of brushes and I really fell in love with it! First things first, it's like a MAC set of brushes however you can buy the same brushes and quality like that of a MAC brush but typically cheaper than

the authentic MAC brushes. Second thing, I don't see any brushes that I don't like or unnecessary brushes as compared to the MAC replica brushes from Singapore that I saw on other online shops. Some of the brushes of the MAC replica brush set were a bit unnecessary, and honestly, I do not know how to use the others. The brushes in this set is that I can able to use all of it and I sort of know how to use each brush. Aww, I wish I could have this one too! If someone, with a kind heart and willing to make others happy this Christmas season, you might wanna consider me.. hahaha

For those makeup lovers or have interest in makeup, you also might want to purchase these. I read some reviews about it and most of them said it has a good quality and cheaper price, well for them, because for me it is still expensive!

I swear to myself, when I have a job and get to earn, I'll treat myself with this. I so fell in love with these brushes..

My Interest in Makeup

I remember the time when my aunt used to be a Natasha lady. Natasha is like Avon when you get to get sellers of the product of this particular company. Its like a mobile mall. The Natasha company back then just released their new line of products - cosmetics. I recall that Marian Rivera was their model. However, I am not quite sure if these new line products of Natasha still exists today. As I was going through the catalogue, I admire Marian's makeup in her pictures and I love the way it turned out.

I thought that time I wish I could recreate the look but I don't have much resources and the only makeup kit I have was a China made powder box with not-so vibrant colors. But then, I tried to recreate the look but I failed. I tried to search on the internet (Youtube wasn't popular yet that time) on steps on how to apply makeup but I really can't understand the steps. I gave it up. For a while, I stopped thinking about it and got busy with other things.

But then when I reach post graduate life, with nothing else to do but stay inside the house and no other modes of entertainment but the internet,  I suddenly visited the YouTube website and clicked on how to apply makeup. Honestly, I really don't know how to. What I was after in applying makeup is how you should work with the eyes. I wanted to recreate a smokey look. I saw various videos of how to apply and I learned a lot. However, there's just one problem, I have no resources! With the money I had, I started collecting makeup sets and kits I saw at an affordable price. Then, little by little, I learn the techniques and I am able to collect enough sets to recreate the look that I wanted.

I've visited various channels of makeup professionals on YouTube and I did learned a lot. First, I want to credit Wayne Goss for his lovely tutorials. He made expert techniques as simple as possible for starters like me. If you're a make up lover or interested in makeup, you could visit his channel by clicking the following link: gossmakeupartist












Another makeup expert I wanted to credit is Eman. She can actually recreate any look you want. She's a great makeup artist and I love her works. Here's her blog: emanmakeup.blogspot.com
You can also visit her youtube channel on the following link: makeupbyeman








I really wish I could be talented as them, but I guess makeup art isn't really for me. Still, thanks to them I am able to learn simple techniques which I could use / apply in any case.

Right now, I am still collecting makeup products that would complete my collection. I am also doing some reviews about the products that I use at www.makeupalley.com. Since I get interested with makeup, I was eager to have a job to buy all the things that I wanted and to collect makeup. I am finally able to create myself with simple looks and use them when I go out and sometimes when I get nothing else to do at home. I practice makeup application and use my own face.
