i enjoy being a girl...

Finally. I've managed to sneak off and write an entry for my blog.

Yesterday afternoon was such a blast - I learned so much stuff about... MAKEUP. It's quite nice to indulge in utterly girlie stuff once in a while. Abbygale Arenas is now my official makeup guru. She's so much fun to hang out with pala. Former beauty queen and all and yet she still knows how to have fun. Idol ko na siya.

Some new things I learned about makeup:

1. Smell your makeup. If they start to smell like wax, it's time to throw them away.

2. Smell your brushes. Hmmm. Parang there's a lot of smelling involved in makeup pala. If they start to smell funky, chances are they're infested with bacteria so throw them away. Oh, and it's good to clean your brushes on a regular basis.

3. Start from the top to the bottom, i.e. start from the eyebrows and descend to the lip area for best results.

4. A hairdryer and a lash curler can be a girl's best friend. Just a quick run under the blower can give a girl fantastic lashes to flutter with. (Oh, and NEVER curl your lashes after applying mascara. More than just the mascara could come of. (Imagine having zero lashes!)

Anyway, what started out as a simple makeup lesson for Mommy2 turned into a fun, girlie makeup shopping spree. She was so nice she got Macaroon a fabulous gloss from Shu Uemura. She looks great. Macaroon, buy the lipstick na!!! Going around Rustan's and Beauty Bar was so much fun. Imagine Abby as the makeup police... swatting us away from unnecessary beauty buys, no matter how tempting. She's so cool she even gave Ana and Ms. U instant makeovers. Makeup shopping was never so much fun, I swear. (Plus, this was actually the first time I went Beauty Bar-ing MINUS any boys. Why is it that the boys take longer in there than I do? Hmmm...)

Here's to my new Bloom Multi-Purpose Makeup Palette. I just died when I got it. Thanks, Mommy2. :)
