Hiya everyone! This is Minnie a sick mess this lovely Monday. I am extremely sick but still hoping to finish up this post I started since I hate leaving posts undone on my blog. Anyways my good friend Marissa and I are makeup buffs. We buy and wear makeup often but not enough to learn how to apply makeup on others like all those cool makeup artists out there. After watching that video up there by Buzzfeed, we started talking about how much it cost us to wear our face and then, one thing led after another, and here I am with this post! For a week or two, I will post a blog entry like this one listing all the makeup products I used on my face and of course, the final look. I will try my best to use all the products I have in my makeup bag too XD Marissa and I agreed to do this for about 12 makeup days. I say makeup days because I actually do not wear makeup every day! Maybe 4-5 times a week? Anyhoooooo, here is the first day!

So yeah, believe it or not, for this simple, slightly smokey eyed neutral look, it cost me that much XD Isn’t that amazing? Are your minds blown yet guys? Haha. But have no fear guys! Most women are not using this many high-end products like me so it should be less for the majority of women out there. Still, it really puts a perspective onto things right? So please appreciate all the women out there who spend all that time buying these things and putting them on. We all have different reasons for putting on makeup, but we love it and enjoy it so let’s all love and enjoy each other without hating okay? XP I hope you guys look forward to my Day 2 look once I feel better.
