Welcome to my blog! This is my first post and I’m jittery about it. I decided to blog because I genuinely enjoy helping out my friends who are just getting into make up, and my awesome fellow beauty addict friends who are already head over heels about it. That.. and seriously, I just love make up and want to talk about it all of the time. I can’t help it! I am always looking for people to talk make up with! Hay, hi can we be friends? My boyfriend is probably tired of hearing about it constantly, hehe. Other than make up, my other obsessions include my adorable weird little dog, Kava, lots and lots of coffee and tea, fitness and improving myself, and of course food.

So! I have been into / obsessive over makeup for about two years now, and have a plethora of knowledge. I went from literally knowing NOTHING about makeup to learning about what products work best for which skin types, what contouring is, how to properly apply, and so much more. My current obsession is skin care as well. I’m 28 aka not getting any younger and these Korean genes won’t keep me looking young forever! Hehe.. So, you should know that I am self-taught. I didn’t go to school for it, I learned just watching tutorials, reading blogs and articles, getting advice and tips from friends, and of course practicing. I am a perfectionist and I can’t help that I want to perfect my make up looks, crazy I know. There is always room for improvement in my mind.

I think of make up as a therapy for myself. I spend a lot of time alone, and have always been self-conscious about the way I look. Being bullied my entire life probably didn’t help much at all. I’m too short, have crooked teeth, way too small boobs, am too fat, not that pretty anyways, etc – things that I have heard and most women have heard at some point in their life. I used to project and judge others when I was younger.. then I finally grew up realized “what the hell is the point of that? I don’t feel better about myself and neither do these people.” So instead, I started looking at myself and did some deep soul-searching and finally decided to use make up as a creative outlet to feel better about myself. Now that I’ve grown up a bit, I am extremely against bullying. It is one thing that I am passionate about, and I will always help someone in need, or stick up for someone who is being attacked. I hate being judged for enjoying something that makes me feel good about myself and don’t believe that anyone else should be either.

Anyways! I love being informative and believe that knowledge is key.. especially before you spend your hard earned money on something you are unsure of! I believe in being HONEST! Lying is one of my pet peeves, and I promise that I will not “trick” you into buying, or liking a product that might not be right for you as I have been by others. I will always be upfront and honest about the products that I use including pros AND cons and not sugarcoat anything regardless if I’ve been given a product free to review. I plan on blogging about make up, skin care, and all things beauty- including my make up collection, swatching colours for pigmentation and quality, my newest obsession with skincare, and any products that I might receive from brands (stay tuned for a review on my Ecotools voxbox from Influenster!) I can’t wait to begin this journey and as nervous as I am, I’m finally doing it!
