It's been a year....Make-up Collection (Part Three)

Before I started blogging I wore make-up but the bare minimal and probably not very well. I used Maybelline's Dream Liquid Mousse foundation but because I was scared of looking like I was wearing too much make-up I usually applied barely any at all. I was and probably will always be, a lipbalm fiend. Mascara? Nope, didn't like the stuff and was horrible at application. Eye shadow? Nope, unless you count the bright blue eyeshadow I use to wear when I was around 13 years old (what the heck was I thinking?)

Anyway, shall we just say things have changed?

Foundation: 2 bottles on the go at the moment and I actually apply quite a lot now! :-o Not too much but enough to tell that I am actually wearing it, lol! Mascara? I'm still absolutely horrible at applying it and still manage to poke my eye with the wand every couple of weeks but I do like how it looks when I wear it. I'm using a Physician's Formula mascara at the moment and love it. Eye shadow? I'm kind of like a pigeon but instead of collecting sparkling things (although I like sparkly things too) I grab eye shadows off the shelf at priceline way too often considering I rarely wear it. And, when I do wear it, it isn't bright blue!!! Neutrals look much nicer the 21 year old me thinks. I have also recently discovered powder and have been using the Stay Matte one by Rimmel (love it) and I brought a blush and bronzer on the weekend and will try and do some contouring one day soon.

You might be wondering...what about lipstick and lipgloss? No don't worry, I haven't forgotten :) Before entering the blogosphere I had a couple of neutral lipsticks but most of the time just wore  gloss or balm. Now I have enough lip products to last me forever and yet they keep coming home with me...yep, no self-control here. I
