Hi Girlies! Make-up has been very distant to me until around October last year. I used to be a junkie, only buying make-up because the packaging was too cute! I never use them, and I was too lazy to learn how. But a lot of things happened last year that made me feel down and out, I needed a self-esteem boost. My friends and family of course were there for me, but I found myself being drawn to the magic of make-up!

I bought my very first black liquid eyeliner and applied it on my top lids, and I loved how it adds a lil' something! Of course I wasn't good at it so I had my dear sister Kitty teach me a trick or two about the whole eyeliner thing (because she's so good at make-up haha). And everyday, I would practice putting on a winged eyeliner atop my lids. Make-up also became the hobby that Kitty and I enjoyed to bits! We would go to the make-up counters, kiosks, stores to try out this and that...

... and eventually, I found myself moving on to the other make-up products like lippies and foundies. I would also spend a lot of time watching the gurus over at YouTube! I'm totally in love with the hobby that I started collecting make-up too.

Of course, I'm still not very confident at this craft~ (although I think I have the skillz for eyeliner nao lol) I still have a lot to learn! :D Especially when it comes to applying eyeshadow and E/S x Lipstick color-matching.

That is why I decided to put up my beauty blog. This is where I'll blog about my make-up experiences, my personal reviews, and other beauty musings. I'm really excited~ make-up is a craft that I really want to master. I don't believe that make-up masks or conceals real beauty nor is it pretentious, it only enhances the natural beauty that we have, like how the right color of eyeshadow would bring out those pretty brown eyes. And who doesn't like a lil-picker upper or a little confidence push too? ;)

Love and Glitters!
