Yay, Amni finally back in da blog!
(I had a writer's block I'm sorry)
So, since I finished my parts in my assignments and shitload of Powerpoints and Words, I finally have a short stress-free time to blog cause I also finished my midterms just the other day lol.
Cheap Makeup...?
What come to girls' minds when the word 'cheap makeup' came up?
Ah, yes!
Pharmacy/Drugstore!!
I know some drugstores' makeup products are expensive but I'm gonna consider it as a whole since some makeup sell in drugstores are cheap and gOOD.
1. Lips Essentials
My favourite makeup product has always been lipsticks. I really like to paint my lips with colour especially red cause I'm gonna look super badass~~
Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick:
I mean yassss! I love Revlon's lipsticks.
They stay long for a RM38 product. They have nice shades. I own Kiss Me Coral and Rosewine and I L O V E Rosewine. Its my most favourite red shade lipstick other than my MAC (which it cost around RM78 which is expensive by the way that's why I use only for special occasion haha and it also smell like donuts.)
Also,
Revlon Colorburst Balm Stain
This is my first lip product I bought and ever since, I'm still using it. I bought it when it was about RM28?? like a year ago I don't know if the price went up since then. If you hate wearing lipstick, wear this cause it moisturize your lips and the best part, it STAYS LONG!
Mine is not matte one. I bought Honey Douche and I think it's a sheer one.
Wet n' Wild Mega Last Matte
My aunt's friend bought for me so I'm not sure how much it cost but I know it's affordable and it's quite famous among teens.
It did left your lips feel a little bit dry when you start wearing it so make sure you wear lipbalm first to moisturize those pretty lips~~
I own Bare-it-All (902C) and I wear everyday to class :3
And many girls and I personal favourite;
Nyx Lip Cream!!
London is my favourite shade!!
a. It stays long.
b. It costs like RM38
c. It matted once its dry
d. sO MANY COLOURS I'M IN LOVE
I loveeeeeeeeeee Nyx Lips Cream. There's no more I could say. Oh, it only sold in Sephora~
2. EYE ESSENTIALS
IN-2-IT eyeliner
Eyeliner is so important to me cause I have a monolid eyes and finding a good eyeliner is so hard. T_T
in-2-it eyeliner is really good but the tip of the eyeliner is quite thick so its hard to apply on my eyelids but it's still a gOOD product. It stays quite long. It's cost around RM25.
I'm currently using Nyx pencil eyeliner which cost me RM40 and although the tip satisfied me, but the product itself dissappointed me. It washed away so easily it pisses me off -__-
Mascara
I honestly don't own a mascara myself cause my eyes hate wearing maskara and I have sensitive eyes so I always rub it...
But if you want an EXCELLENT mascara; Use 'They're Real' by Benefit that cost around RM 78 for a small one...
But, I did heard that the best affordable mascara is from Maybelline which it's true cause my mom used to owned one and I used to wear it.
Eye shadow
Not gonna deny, I love branded eye-shadow palette. I love nude colours especially. Like Urban Decay's Nude (especially the 1st and Too-face Chocolate that I WANT TO BUY)
To be honest with you guys, I never found a good, cheap eye-shadow palette in my life. The cheap ones aren't tinted and it doesn't stay long and I'm frustrated about it.
I'm currently using Meet Matt(e) by theBalm
Isn't Matt(e) HOT?! lol
I love my eyeshadow, it does have some flaws but the colours are warm and I wear it everyday to class looking badass.
I usually don't wear blusher, foundation and such cause I don't feel comfortable covering up my pores...
For me, the most important thing in makeup isn't how much it cost, it's the quality of it. I love lipsticks that stay long and moisturize, eyeliners that actually doesn't piss me off every time I wear it, tinted and warm colours of eyeshadow.
Quality over price, am I right?
And I'm also a cheapskate okay, I admit it.
Skincare tips:
People I know always say that I have a nice skin (welp, thanks by the way...) but actually my mom taught me a lot on taking care of my skin so here some tips;
1. For people between the ages 12-16,
avoid using foundation or anything that will cover up your pores.
You're still young, you don't need to cake-up your face cause your skin at that time need to breathe and for you to cover your pores, I'm not kidding, you will regret when you get older.
^ Words from my mom.
2. Before applying makeup, washed your face first, then apply toner & moisturizer, also sunblock cream since this country is super hot it's annoying.
3. NEVER SLEEP WEARING MAKEUP.
4. Wash your face carefully after a long day wearing makeup. Wash all those stain thoroughly and apply moisturizer when you're about to go to sleep.
5. Seriously, just watch Korean dramas, look at them taking care of their skin.
6. Eat healthy foods. Like soy that contains collagen.
^Words by my mom that I never follow...
And lastly,
Wear makeup if you want to. Don't wear makeup if you don't want to. Wear makeup because you want to feel confidence and fuck all those assholes who judge you. Makeup is a form of art, and you're a white canvas are about to be paint with colourful colours.
You do you.
I hope the things I wrote help girls and boys who love makeup.
