Hahaha, I have no idea what I'm talking about. Well, thank God, that I guess the happiness from yesterday has successfully continued. Though the sky today is slightly gloomier than yesterday, BUT it's still bright and the air is light, so it feels all right. I don't plan on going out today, I think I will glue my own butt to my chair and study for whole day.
If you are a guy, today's post may be less related to you unless you have a girlfriend. Ha, it sounds confusing, but what I mean is I Want To Talk About MAKEUP today! So, if you already have that lucky girl with you, it can be a new topic that you can chat with her. Oh, whatever, I don't know. I'm just talking nonsense, not even having a single focus...
Today is a lovely Sunday, even though I am 76% sure that I won't go out today, I can still wear makeup at home, right? My mom says what's the point? It's a waste of the makeup product and time. I say it makes me feel good and pretty! And I don't really have Super expensive products and I don't put tons of powder on my face, so it's not really a WASTE to me. I usually take around 15-20 minutes, then I am done with it.
To me, makeup is fun and I guess most of the female like it because we like painting. I remember when I was in primary school, there was a girl whom I spent most of my time with. She would draw little princesses with fancy dresses, and I was the one to put beautiful colours on them. The point is - Girls like colours and girls like themselves. Makeup is the best solution. The fun in it is how you can use different products with different colour and different texture to form the perfect artwork that suits you. I prefer natural stuff, I think the best tailor made makeup is the one that looks natural ( which your mom can still realize that is her daughter ) and with some Pop.
I don't wear makeup every day, I do when I go out with friends or special events or I feel like doing it. Hahaha, not really often. :P For casual days, I stick with my natural routine. I would just use concealers, blush, powder, eye liner and 3-4 eye shadows. I promise it's light, because I think dark/intense colours and fake lashes are for balls/ ladies that have meetings/ elder ladies. When you are young, all you have to do is just slightly covering up your imperfections and adding little shine on your face. No need to be Gaga whenever you go out.
I like makeup, I like playing with it and doing research about it. At first I really had no idea, thanks to Youtube, there are millions of gurus putting up tutorials teaching you what to do. I like watching girls from America or England, maybe because I always like those places more. I also watch those from HK and Taiwan, we have gurus like that too. In fact, our skin colour and the shape of our faces are more similar, and I can buy what they got easier. But none of them are interesting like those in America or other places, so I seldom watch them now. If you don't know, those girls in America and Europe are doing really professionally. It is even some of their official jobs. They don't have to work, some of their JOBs are to post videos of them doing makeup tutorials or introducing new beauty products. Then they get paid from Youtube and sponsors. It looks easy, but not everyone can do it. You have to be good looking ( it's a cruel world ), have that sense of what's on trend, wealthy on your own at the first place ( so before you get famous, you have the ability to buy all the goodies for your viewers ) Then millions of teenage girls would watch you. Some of those successful cases are now being big brand ambassadors or celebrities.
So, the world has changed. You don't really have to take expensive classes to have lessons on how to do makeup, all you need is a pc and Youtube. Makeup is so much fun. You can have the same tools and products on my hand, if you don't know how, then you make a clown of yourself. But if you do know the tricks, you are a goddess. Everything is the same, you just need time and practice.
Oh, let's talk about my collection, shall we? :)
I don't have lots of brushes, and not many of them are from high brands. I simply put all of them in the brush bag came along with the limited MAC set. I once wanted to use it as my pencil bag, as it's long and slim. Since it's from MAC, then I better use it for makeup.
So, this is the small makeup bag that has the products I use all the time. I have another smaller bag that I bring with me wherever I go, just girly stuff, lip balm, hand cream and one MAC JUST SUPERB lip glass from a classmate, and that's all I bring with me. I'm totally causal with it, I don't even bring a concealer for touch up.
...maybe I should...umm...
...maybe I should...umm...
Lastly, this box. Isn't it lovely?? It's originally a Japanese cookies box that my Aunt Sydney bought us for Chinese New Year gift. It tasted So Good! I always like Japanese food.
I always have tins like this, different shapes. I do feel bad to throw them away ( I do recycle them! ) as they are so pretty! I keep this one, because it's thin and fits the area where I put my stuff perfectly. And I put all those backup things and products I don't use often and other tools.
Haha, there you go, my makeup story. Not really a story, but sharing. I have fun taking the pictures and talking about it. Maybe not that interesting for you to read since there are loads of funnier beauty bloggers doing a much better job than I do. I don't care, I have fun, that's it. But if you do want to know more, let me know! I find it soooo overwhelming to receive feedback from you guys. Like few days ago, there's a blogger sent me an email about my wonderland. That made my day~~~ You know, it's somehow a sense of achievement that people are reading stuff I write and giving a damn about it, In Another country! Good job guys!
So... stick with me or maybe you can promote Sara's Wonderland for me? XD Haha, I am happy, really happy about it. Sure am going to keep up with it, have fun, great.
I wish you are having a good time during this beautiful weekend, at least I have in Hong Kong. always remember to drink more water, it not only cools down your temperature but gives you that Bling Bling on your pretty face! Smile! It also makes you more beautiful. :)
Love, S.
