Christmas in May

Merry Christmas everyone! Oooopppsss, not yet! It's just May! But it feels like Christmas because of the package that came all the way from U. S. of A. The package came from my sister who shares the same passion with me for make-up or actually she is the one who influence me the most! The package for me is all cosmetics varying from eye shadows, eye shadow base, eyeliner, and lip glossies with different brands such as Coastal Scents, Urban Decay, Mary Kay, L'OREAL, and ChapStick!  So let the pictures do the talking! :)

As you can see, the boxes and the packaging say my name (Maan) and nickname (Cindy) with indicates that they are all mine! Yippeeeeee! :)

Now, let's take a closer look to all of them! :))

1. Urban Decay Sustainable Shadow Box. All I can say about this product is it is so awesome and very gorgeous plus the fact that it is eco-friendly! It has 10 lovely colors, great for day and evening look. It comes with a good and fluffy eye shadow brush and a travel-sized Eyeshadow Primer Potion! I can't wait to use this baby! :)

2. Coastal Scents 88 Original Palette. When I open this palette, I was really overwhelmed by the great selection and number of colors. I was like, can I really use each and every single color that's in here? HAHAHA! This is my very first 88 palette but wish to have some more like the warm palette and the metal mania! 

3. Coastal Scents 22 Piece Brush Set + Classic Angled Liner in Natural. As I said in my previous post about my brush sets, I still don't have a full professional brush set. So now my Fairy Godmother (which happens to be my very own sister) granted that wish and gave me these babies! I am so much in love with them and there is now reason why I should not!

4. Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion. This is so far my favorite among the rest! It's like having a dream come true for me owning this one because it is like gold or even diamond! I have never tried it but I like to believe that this is the best eye shadow base in the world! 

5. L'OREAL Infallible Eyeliner

6. Mary Kay Lip Balms

7. Mary Kay Eye Primer

8. ChapStick in Strawberry

So much in heaven because of these babies! And I want to thank you Ate, you are really the best! Waiting for the perfect time to use and try them cause as of the moment, duty in the hospital is hectic! :)

Brush Sets to Love

One of my friend once told me that I am such a late bloomer for loving make-up at this age! Since at the age of 22 years old or even younger, some friends and relatives of mine are already an expert when it comes to beautifying oneself through make-up. Maybe one reason is that when I was in High School, where most girls start applying one, we are not allowed to roam around the school wearing red-kissable lips, rosy-rose cheeks, and very tantalizing eye. But I am not sure if they really have rules and regulation about that. It's just that I don't see any student wearing or applying make-up in the restrooms, no more than lip balms.  Maybe one other factor is that I am a freak. HAHAHA!

But those days are over! I am not saying that I am a make-up guru now, just an obsessed one! HAHAHA! So in this post, I will be showing my brush sets. :))

My first brush set is a Charm 14-pieces Travel Pro Brush Set. I bought this at The Ramp, Shangri-La Plaza Mall but they are available online here. I actually went to Shangri-La just to buy these brushes because I want to try them first before buying them just to be sure of its quality since it's quite expensive! But the quality is worth the price. The hairs are so soft. The length is just right, not too long and not too short for me. I also love the color, combination of black and bright pink, which is such a girly thing. The gorgeous case is also a plus. About the cons, the case is a little bulky so I have to use a large bag in order to bring this everyday. This is the reason why I bought my second brush set!

This is my Charm 8-pieces Holiday Brush Set as seen in my everyday must have on make-up post. I am such a fan of Charm Brushes since my first purchase. Their products are really worth every penny. It is also online available here. The need for a smaller version of the Travel Pro Set pushed me to buy these super lovable babies. This brush set is perfect for those newbies in make-up like me. Everything about this is superb, even the case where I can put my pressed, small eye shadow palette and lip balm which I can carry everywhere I go.

This is my third and last, but definitely not my last purchased as I am planning to buy a professional set soon. It is a 4-pieces Smokey Eye Brush Set from Suesh (you can also avail online here). I bought this set because I am a self-confessed addicted to smokey eye. I love doing it with every color palette that I have. But I haven't actually tried going out with those kind of attention-seeker eye make-up but I hope one day I can.

There it is, my brush sets. This are not all my brushes, I also have individual brushes which I will be blogging soon! Would you guys help me decide what brand to buy next?! Thanksie! :))
