To begin with, I never was interested in make-up. I would buy the recommended products but that's all.
I even downsized my make up to the basic when we moved here to Bangkok.
I only kept --
- A nude lipstick
- An eyeshadow duo palette
- Mascara
- My favorite Shu Uemura eyelash curler
- An eyebrow pencil
- Nars Orgasm blush
I was fine with what I have. Never really knew how to put on complex make-up.
March last year, my dear cousin from Arizona sent me a package containing these make up products.
The brand Milani is all new to me. I was hesistant with the colors of the lipstick and blush. Until I tried them on. Life changing. Hahaha!
My cousin sent me tons of make up. I thought I can put up my own salon. They were brands I have not heard of. As I researched and watched a number of beauty channels on You Tube, I learned more about them.
And I was hooked. I found a new "obsession."
I started experimenting and playing with the products and the colors. I like what I see.
To be clear, I am still learning. I still don't know how to do so many things. Practice, practice, practice.

The state of my make up products |
My current make-up "collection" has a mix of high end and drugstore brands. I think half of these were sent by my cousin. Some are gifts from family and friends.
I will talk about my favorites and new discoveries in my future posts.
Happy weekend!
