It's the candy, the paper, the blood on the floor.

After reading Fallon's blog post about her favourite cosmetics and products, I was inspired to make one of my own!

As all my friends and family knows, I love cosmetics. My mum friend's use to ask and pay me to do their make-up for their upcoming work parties. They would tell my mum the compliments they would get about their make-up. Personally I really want to do a make-up course, but due to university, I really don't have time. But I always watch tutorials on YouTube.com, that's something right? hahaha

Face
I use OLAY face wash and their complete UV protection moisture lotion. For toner I use the normal Witch Hazel you get from drug stores. Once a week I scrub/ex foliate my face using the facial scrub from Dead Sea Minerals (they blocked my way and wouldn't let me go until I purchased something..either way I was too nice to say no...I really like it actually hahaha) and Palmer's skin success even skin tone facial mask (this face mask is the best..seriously). For my night cream I use Palmer's cocoa butter formula night renewal cream.

Before I put on foundation, I use The Body Shop face spritz.
For day time foundation I use MAC studio fix fluid with a bit of baby sunscreen to lighten the texture. For night I use MAC studio tech, mix with a bit of the studio fix fluid. I then use Physician formula stick concealer, MAC studio fix powder (I use this to make everything even) and MAC blotting powder.

Cheeks
I use MAC 'vintage grape' colour (It's one of the limited edition) and their blush creme in 'Posey'. I also have this Clinique shimmer that I use (night time) to outline my cheeks (I also use it for the inner corner of my eyes, my chin, nose and a bit on my brow)

Eyes
I usually go for brown..
Estee Lauder / Clinique/ MAC eye shadow duo
MAC eye kohl and Stila eye Kajal (One of the best eyeliner from Mecca Cosmetica)
MAC Fluid line
Loreal Telescopic mascara

Brow
I hardly ever draw in my brow, but when I do I use MAC eye shadow in carbon or this dark brown from Clinique.

Lips
Soft lips, Philosophy lip shine from Mecca Cosmetica in Egg Nog Latte and Pumpkin spice muffin, Not Wine by Revlon, Candy by Estee Lauder, Cherish by MAC and Cyber by MAC.
_______________________________________
I have so much cosmetics, and I actually find a use for all of them. I love wearing make-up at night, because I hardly wear any day time. I don't have the best skin. In High School I hardly ever wear any make-up, and I had acne. I was on Arracutane for so long. Those pills are a God send. hahaha Also make-up wipes are a must ( I use the Johnson's three in one facial cleansing wipes)
