Make over make-up!

So I've been obsessing to update my make up collection (and I swear by every means of the word, obsessed, bc I've been dreaming...literally..ways to do my make up) After days of following the trends from the make up tutorials posted on the "tube" I've collected a list of must buys. One of my ultimate epic fail stories is the urban decay naked pallete. Ive been hearing days worth of high ratings for the product. But I just can't get my hands on it! It's sold out at sephora, but I'm way too impatient to make the purchase online. I'm currently away from home for the next few weeks, I don't know when I'm returning, so it's completely pointless for me to order it online and ship it home. I.must.have.it.in.my.hands.NOW. Ive made my complaints thru friends and family and they suggested I check out ulta. Why haven't I thought of that before? Nonetheless I've been able to add a few other items. Besides the pink bag of goodies (c/o sephora, u guys are the bomb.com) I've got eye cream by origins, bronzer from hoola, pro long wear concealor by Mac, eye primer by urban decay, and eye liner in violet by clinique. Super excited to try them all!

I'm only in my younger 20s but I'm already stressing about using eye cream and investing into some good skin care. Im not thinking about fighting age, but preventing it. All in good practice, brings good results. So why not? I like to think of my face as a savings account. The more you invest into it, the more interest you get. But if you don't consider investing into a savings account, the more likely you are to abuse and use your money for some thing impractical. Same with my face, if I don't invest, I'm just abusing it and letting it age.. Going into waste. (took me a while to develop that analogy; perhaps bc I'm on 3 cups of caffeine and fighting sleep as we speak).

Bronzer (hoola by benefit): I must confess it wasn't my first purchase. Prior to hoola I bought the bronzer pallete by too faced. After reading the ratings posted on sephora, I second guessed my decision and exchanged it for hoola. My sister in law swears that it's one of the best bronzers she's tried, so I'll take her word for it. So far, by appearance I've gotten a good impression. It contains a subtle Gregory color, minus the glitter. I've been using the loose powder bronzer, warmth by bare minerals, but it appears a bit orange sometimes. So I'll
have to compare.

Concealor (by Mac) : the last time I used the concealor by Mac, was sometime in 2007. In the mean time ive switched from urban decay, sephora, Laura mercier, and nars. The coverage just doesn't compare. So I'm going back to Mac. The one I've used from Mac was studio fix, but I found that it was a bit dark, cakey, and sometimes difficult to apply. So I'm trying prolong wear. I've applied it today and it swiped on like warm butter. So we'll see how it's longevity status works out before I decide to become dedicated.

Eye make up primer ( urban decay): best primer ever. I don't know how I ever switched from them. I tried to go back to my roots and use Mac eye primer. But it's not the same. Forever urban decay, eye primer. Im sorry that I've cheated on you. It is in a new container/ package. I miss the wand stick that use to come with the primer ( it was so much easier to use) but if the quality remains the same and faithful, then no complaints from here.

Clinique eye liner: I remember the last time I used their eye liner was in middle school. It was easy to put on, but it never lasted long. So, I'm giving it another try after hearing good ratings about the product. Perhaps they've improved the quality? We'll just have to wait. Although it's important for make up products to give an immediate good impression, from quality to packaging,but I'm no fool for packaging, it's all about quality baby! Im a firm believer about longevity, and that I'm only sold to a product completely, when it does it's job from the start to the end ( when it runs out) otherwise, it's a pointless piece of make
up. So Stay tune for updates about my new purchase!xx
