MakeUp Beginner at 27?

Hello again!!!

It has been so long since I posted! I have been very busy.

So the question what is the new thing that the choosy girl is into?

It's all in the title!!

Recently I've been starting to incorporate aesthetics in my life. I've been so functional, straightforward girl all my life (something to do with being raised with four brothers I suppose?) that I was never fascinated by accessories nor beautification stuff. I always thought clothes is all that matters, it's the only thing needed by anyone, I mean with regard closet content.
And I also always thought that intelligence was more important than beauty so I was always striving to learn something new. My preference was watching Discovery Channel, National Geographic, over mushy feel good movies. My motto was if there is no knowledge to be picked from it what is the point of sparing it your time?

Then came Gossip Girl. The city lights. Blair with the perfect hair and childish facial expressions. The penthouses, one with a painting of PRADA on the entrance. It is clearly all about FASHION. Sure the intellectual banter between the characters are just so obviously scripted exchanging so fast I sometimes miss some of them. But it doesnt matter I would watch every episode again for closer look at their outfits.
Is the perfection really possible??

I wanted to test myself.

So I started building my wardrobe, and my accessories, and my home workout aides. But of course, in order to have a beautiful painting one must have the perfect canvas!

And now, I am moving to a new adventure. MAKE-UP

I've done the bit of shopping I allow myself as a beginner today. I went at Tang's, checked out Sephora at Ion, but the brushes there were so expensive. It seems brushes are important contributors to a flawless look you see. MAC at Tang's were selling a set of four brushes (stippling brush, which is the one I like) with concealer brush, eyeshadow brush and lip brush for SGD 110. It still seems so steep for me. So I settled for the pencil purchase at the beauty outlet. A good thing too that I was able to contain myself because lo and behold what I found at Choa Chu Kang BHG outlet!!

Stippling Brush for 17.90
Angled Blush Brush for 12.90
Concealer Brush for 9.90
Powder Puffs for 5
Beauty Blender (2 pcs) for 39.90

I threw in a (34) blush by Bourjois  for 20.90 in order to get the goodie bag from BHG.
Oh what a day!!!

I am so excited to start this journey where beauty meets the geek.

XOXO
