Discovering the new world of makeup

Since I have been sleeping late almost every day for the past months, my sister and my mother commented that I look haggard already. Add to that the fact that I don’t really spend that much time putting makeup on or fixing my hair.

And so as I looked at the mirror one day, I realized that I really need some major makeover. So I started by going to the salon and had my much needed hair rebond. Then I thought I should at least buy some cosmetics to add glow to my face since I only have powder in my make up kit.

I am really a low maintenance type of person when it comes to this area but I am really fascinated by those people who are experts when it comes to hair and make up like my good friend Em. She was able to use her passion for makeup to good use as she was able to use it as a sideline when she became a wedding makeup artist at one point.

So I thought, it looks fun and it is still not too late for me to learn about makeup. I have been reading fashion magazines and checking websites and I have been reading makeup guides in putting basic makeup like blush on, eye shadow, lipstick and mascara. It looks easy when reading it and I was hoping that I would be able to apply it. So I have to buy my own make up it so I can practice and my friends recommend the getting started kit from Bare Escentuals. They say that it contains all I need to get me started on my new project so wish me luck guys. Hope I can really love and appreciate the world of makeup.

My Own Camera

It’s my sister’s 19th birthday today. She was insisting that she should have a party because this is her last birthday as a teenager. So we prepared a small party for her. Too bad Howell was note here so we don’t have best digital camera to take pictures of this wonderful event.

I remember the last time Howell was away and it’s the Christmas season and I’m at the mall with my daughter when we saw Santa Claus. My daughter was so happy when she saw Santa that she even lined up to have her picture taken with Santa. But I only have my cell phone’s camera that time so I was not able to capture that special moment. So I thought, I should have my own camera that my daughter and I can use.

My husband’s camera is an SLR which is the best wide angle digital camera. But the problem is it is heavy since it is big so I can’t bring it with me everywhere I go. And since he uses it for business, I really can’t just borrow it anytime I like. So I think it is really about time that I buy my own camera.

If I will be buying a camera, I want to buy the best ultra compact digital camera. I’m really not that familiar with camera specifications so I have to do some readings on my favorite site, BestInClass.com. I like this site since the recommendations are written by experts on that particular product and not like other review sites where I get confused from the different feedbacks given by user.

I’m excited already in owning my own camera as my pretty subject, my dear daughter, is already waiting for her pictures to be taken by me.

Hang Over

I still have a hang over from the Sex and the City movie….Oh I’m so in love and I really, really, really love the movie…

More stories (spoilers) tomorrow. I’m already sleepy and our bed is already calling me. So I will do my post about the SATC movie tomorrow.

And I will watch it again next week with hubby. Yup, that’s how much I love it.

Refresh

I intend to work late again last night but I figure, I need to get some sleep. I have been always sleeping late these past few weeks (I sleep around 2-3 AM everyday) because I wanted to finish a lot of things but then I can already feel that my body is already giving up.

I was so sleepy already last night but I tried to fight it back by drinking a strong cup of coffee. I was able to control my sleepiness but I was just staring blankly at my laptop. Nothing is getting in to my brain. I feel that my brain is paralyzed and it doesn’t want to process anything. So I decided, there is nothing that I can do but to give up, sleep and just deal with everything the next day.

And that’s just what I did. I shut down my laptop and went to bed. And when I woke up this morning, I feel refreshed. I feel I have a brand new energy. Oh well, sleep deprivation is really not a good thing and sometimes, I really have to admit that I am only human, I get tired too and I need to take a rest and sleep. :-)
