That Makeup Lightbulb Moment

That Makeup Lightbulb Moment

Y’know, magic happens when beauty bloggers get together and chat about the love for makeup and blogging. I don’t know how it happens but the spark ignites the desire to blog about the most interesting topics that I wouldn’t even think of on my own.

Last November, when Paris B was in town, we had a good ol’ chat about how our love for makeup and blogging began. It seems like yesterday when I stumbled upon her new beauty blog and I learned about that magic thing called a blush mousse (’twas Maybelline’s, back in 2007). As we waxed lyrical about our first encounter with makeup and how it made us go “phwoar!”, we thought hang on, why don’t we blog about it?

Ahh … and here we are. ๐Ÿ˜›

That Makeup Lightbulb Moment

If you’ve been using makeup for a while now, do you still remember that one item of makeup that completely changed your outlook of makeup? The one that makes you look in the mirror and go “woaahh damn, is that me? I look good!“. That one item of makeup that’s probably discontinued now but you look back at it and say “that was when I knew makeup could change how I look“. We call it the makeup lightbulb moment.

Lightbulb! ๐Ÿ˜€

Covergirl Clean Glow Blusher in Roses: Gee, When Was The Last Time I Called A Blush Blusher?

Covergirl Clean Glow Blusher in Roses

“Oh oh oh, shes my cover girl
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh”

Every time I see the Covergirl name, it reminds me of that song by New Kids on the Block. It’s a real ear worm so I hope I haven’t given you one. And if you don’t know who NKOTB are, oh hush you young whippersnapper! ๐Ÿ˜›

50 Random Things About Me

50 Random Things About Me

Oh, so that’s the reason why I can’t live without my phone now.

I love reading random things about bloggers on the Internet. Of all the memes and tags, this is the one I enjoy the most. It can get quite personal and you learn a lot about the blogger (in a non-stalkerish way) behind the niche she blogs about.

I haven’t done one in ages and so I thought let’s dust the ol’ 50 Random Things About Me tag off the shelf and get cracking once more. If you’ve been a long-time reader from way back when, you’d find some of them familiar. There aren’t that many random things about me that has changed over the years. ๐Ÿ˜›

Hole-y Skin vs Blurry Skin with Garnier’s Perfect Blur Smoothing Base Perfector

Garnier Perfect Blur Smoothing Base Perfector

Priceline does 40% off cosmetics (makeup or skincare) every now and then, which is dangerous because I always end up buying a lot more stuff than I need. Can’t blame a girl for trying especially when the cost of, well, almost everything in Australia is so high.

One of the items I picked up during one of those sales was Garnier’s Perfect Blur Smoothing Base Perfector. Do I need it? Nope. Do I want to try it out just to see what it’s like because I’m a beauty blogger and I’m curious that way? Hell yes.

Beauty brands are getting on this “blurring” bandwagon these days. Indeed Labs has the Nano Blur. L’Oreal Paris USA has the RevitaLift Miracle Blur (wonder if they’re bringing it to Australia). Now we have Garnier and their Perfect Blur. We must need these “blurring technology” on our skin real bad, huh? ๐Ÿ˜›
