Look Good, Feel Good

I remember the first make up kit that I bought with my own money was eyeliner from V.O.V. It got a recommendation from my colleague (a girl of course) to buy that eyeliner. That can be said, as my first encounter with make up haha. It was probably almost three years ago. I was just starting my first job, which of course no necessary daily make up needed, since we’re only doing a back office work anyway, but then these few colleagues were wearing make up to work. Not the heavy make up kind of thing. Just a daily routine such as powder, eyeliner, mascara, and blush on (oh, plus light eye shadow and lip gloss sometimes) and I was just this plain-jane type of girl. I wake up late most of the time, only had five minutes of shower, then showed up in office almost late (hehehe) then my hair were never looked perfect. There’s always the bed-hair look on my head. Haha.

Then one of the girl which were the same age as me, said that I need to somehow “represent my appearance” in a better way. Hahaha. She started to do a simple make up to me and encouraged me to buy some make up kit. And I did. It was first eyeliner, than mascara, then blush on. But still I can say, I’m bad at doing make up. Only the basic I knew.

Then I started to work in Singapore (and gain some extra money – hell yeah we all know how much we earn in Indonesia compare to Singapore) and I started to improve my make up knowledge. I started to know what is “Sephora” – make up paradise, you can get lost inside of it , cannot skip to enter every Watsons store you met and spend some time browsing at the cosmetic section and willing to take a one hour bus ride to buy a cheaper cosmetic products at Johor Baru.

I cannot say that I’m one of the make up junkie girl who buys a lot of products or addicted to some brand. I prefer to buy things based on my daily use. And you can see most of my make up is a drugstore brand hahaha. But yet, still, when today I was cleaning my drawer, I found that I actually have a lot of make up.


Why do I have three different blush on? Three different eye liners, two mascaras, two lip-gloss, and two lipsticks? How many lips and cheeks do I have? Hahahhaa. Let me defend my self (and some other girls in this world), it’s just the way it is. Once you buy a make up kit, you couldn’t stop; you want the different kit and tools to improve your make up skills. Hahahaha. Seriously, I think it’s also kinda addiction to buy make ups. You want to buy the new one again and again.

Well, as long it’s not killing your bank account and it helps you to make you look good, I say: Go for it! Haha. When you look good, you do feel good. Just make sure that you do make up properly and at the right time cause I believe that everyone loves beauty. I wouldn’t hurt to see someone who looks good walking around you right?
