My basic make up products ♥

Today I'm too free that I'd nothing to do at home so I would like to share about my make-up products which I've been using for so long. Hmm, I do not apply make ups during normal outings with friends or bf except there is special occasions such as: course nights or birthday celebrations... That's because I'm a lazy-bone descent. Apparently, I did possess the complete set of basic make-up products but not the too advanced one. As I am not an expert in make up. Lol... 
Anyway, just for sharing. =)

I did not purchased any costly branded products such as: Mac or Bobbi Brown but just affordable products available in Watsons and Guardian. In my opinion, the cheaper products can also give the similar effects as the branded ones. =) Plus, I'm just a student and is not capable of earning money of my own yet. Lol...
These are my make-up brushes from Magic Boo sold in sets.
While the black color brushes I bought them separately.
They are at reasonable prices where everyone can afford and useful at the same time! 
Aligning from the left is the:
 i) the blush brush to apply blusher at both cheeks
ii) the sponge tip applicator to apply eyeshadow near the tear duct
iii) the brow comb to tidy up your tangled and messy brow
iv) the tiny lip brush to apply lipstick 
v) the angled brow brush to apply brow colour 
vi) the eyeshadow brush to apply eyeshadow around the eyelids
vii) the concealer brush to apply concealer to cover any blemish or scars
viii) Cyber color tapered eyeshadow brush from Sasa
This is the Elite fantastic primer, got it from Watsons. I loved this primer as it may act as a make-up base, hydrate my skin and makes the make-up lasts longer.
I have a super dry skin and this watery base primer do suits me well. 
I got this time balm concealer from Sasa. However, I do not find this concealer useful as it do not create perfect flawless skin. For the very first time I used it, I failed to conceal my pimples when I have pimple outbreaks. 
This got to be my favourite eyeliner: Elite gel liner.
It creates smooth line and do not smudge so easily which is also waterproof! 
Besides it provides intense black colour which make your eye look fresh and bright.
 My eye lashes curler, quite expensive but I got to say it is rigid and durable.

Next, gotta be my mascara and eye brow pen. 
I chosen Maybelline volume express mascara and essence brow pen cuz I'm fond of them. Nevertheless, this mascara is washable which can be washed off simply by water. I had no idea why I bought the washable ones, lol...
My BB cream and volumer from Etude house. 
Hmm, I personally dislike BB cream cuz of its many side effects to our skin and I preferred foundation more. (Yep, although BB cream is a trend among all girls and provides wonderful effects such as concealing and as a foundation but it is quite harmful to our skin since it tends to clog our skin pores.) 
I got this precious mineral BB cream from Etude house cuz there was a promotion that time where I'd intended to buy only the volumer but got the BB cream free instead. I still use this BB cream though.

But I don't understand why this BB cream still appear dark to me, probably it do not suit my skin tone even though it is already the lightest shade available: light beige N02. This BB cream comprised of several effects such as whitening and anti-wrinkle and also anti-darkening, besides providing extra UV protection of SPF30/PA++.

Yep, I loved the Nymph aura volumer from Etude house because my make up can last for a long duration and my skin glow and appear radiant when I used it. I always blend the BB cream and volumer together on my palm before applying the combination on my face but wonder appears! My skin colour looked a tone lighter than my original ones when I use the combination instead of only the BB cream. It maximize the radiance and dewy glow on the skin and create flawless skin. So in conclusion it also lighten the shade of the BB cream which don't really suit me. I definitely love this volumer. 
This is the look of BB cream and volumer after shedding off the packaging...
Oops, my favourite lip colour from ZA. I kind of fancy this colour because it suits my fair skin tone and the colour is so pretty and sweet! Guess what, this ZA pure shine lipstick is pretty pink of shade 05. It consists of moisturizing agents and vitamin E which moisturize our lips and prevent cracks. I decided to buy this lipstick cuz I am attracted to its pretty colour.
The one next to my lipstick is the fruit jelly lip gloss from The Face Shop. I got it long time ago and I found that this lip gloss have a sweet scent and its colour pretty suits me! However, the colour simply wears off after a few hours and re-application is often required. 
My favourite eyeshadow palette from Maybelline and IN2IT
Now let's have a look at the inside of the palette, the colour is pretty right? The Maybelline eyeshadow palette used to be my favourite since its colour is of neutral shade and suitable for light make-up. The eyeshadow palette from IN2IT composed of 5 colour tones but I have no idea how to use it, since I'm not professional in applying eyeshadow. But I pretty fancy this colour combination cuz it might create gorgeous looking if you have knowledge how to use it, but sadly I don't. So, it was leaved untouched that I still need to learn how to apply it.
Finally this is my make-up pouch, BB cream and volumer (they are too large to be inserted inside my pouch). I got this Elite make-up pouch free when I purchased a number of Elite products, which also used to be my favourite make-up brand.

** I do not have a blusher cuz I was too lazy to chose one in the market, so I'd some creative ideas of applying the pink lipstick as a blusher by smudging it, but of course not by intensive application of it. So I can only barely see it when I do observe it carefully, so it comes out not to be too obvious.

These are my hideous looks when I do not apply make up, ignore my heavy dark circles. 
(it is a result of lack of sleep and stress, lol...)
Hmm, I know I looked sleepy and pale... 
This looked even worse, I seemed like I'm sick but I am studying hard for my exams... 
My untidy hair, my dark circles, eye bag and pimple outbreaks I guess.
OMG, I'm so ugly and pale, sigh....

This is my make up look, how is it? =) 
As I mentioned I only apply make up during special events or occasions.
This is a photo together with my bf during the course night a few months ago. Many friends praised me that I'm not bad in make-up but indeed its a little too heavy. My first try though, in order to merge with my dress which appear in a so-called rocker style. 
 I had dance performance that night, 2NE1 I love you. 
My very first try of such heavy make up!
Applied make up during my birthday at il-Lido. 
The time when I went to Grand Hyatt Hotel to celebrate my bf birthday
of course I had to dress up myself into gorgeous look to impress him! lol...
During my photoshooting session, but this is not my own make ups. 
Instead, my make-up stylist masterpiece. She's great right? 
**selca-ing when awaiting for the next photoshooting session.

p/s: Maybe I'm not an expert in make-up but I do like to share the products that I'm using. I hope that you will found it helpful. =)
