Assalamualaykum ;)
I just realized that my readers increase recently. Thank you :))
This post, i will bored you with my biggest regret as a make up lover. Like seriously, i regret it (LOL).
So here it goes, as i finished my spm, i roamed around youtube and i came across all these tutorials and such. I came across NikkieTutorials, Jeffreestar, Mannymua, joe and his sister (apatah nama), and i venture into the react channel and etc. Of course make up triggered me. A LOT!
By that time i had my savings with me around 2k. I kept my money safe in the bank because yeah, i love the idea of saving until you really need to use it. I guess people just never educate me till the end of the road, THEY LET LIFE AND REALITY EDUCATE ME. True, experience taught me A FREAKING LOT.
Ok back to the topic, so as i was saying, my parents did not allowed me to work part time even as a cashier in Mydin which is like, so near (a stone's throw away) acewah! I got my license and yeah, a lot of time in the internet. I discover this ig who sell make up. By that time, i did not know what is authentic and fake make up. All i know is, make up.
I dont know about the dangerous ingredient and the horrible horrible nightmare quality of that fake one. Trust me, horrible! So, as the uneducated kid, i bought a few things from that person. By that time, if you sell a fake one with high price, people still buy it because its a lot more cheaper that the original one. One fake abh lipstick for rm20, me "THATS FREAKING CHEAP, BUY!"
The funny thing about this ig shopper, after awhile i discover where she actually bought the make ups. Her supplier. She sold a lot more expensive kot! SMH *face palm
Excuse that dumb bitch, she was just too innocent. Then i bought more and more and more even i know i dont really like the ingredient and barely wore it out. Then, i realize that i hate the formula, so i decided to sell it back. This is where i discover carousell! Yeah. I tried to sell some of it and indeed some people do buy it even its fake. I sold it at a lot more cheaper than cheap so yeah, nothing to lose. I guess.
Then, in the carousell, i came across people who actually sell the real one. The ori make up. There are also people warning about these fake make up that could harm us and such. By that time, i realize how stupid i was for buying all those fake shits! Yeah, it took awhile but at least i wake up. What is too late? How much i had spent on that fake shits! Honestly, almost my whole savings for things that i barely wear!! Oh Almighty, I learnt my lesson.
As i started to learn my lesson, Kylie came out with her brand! :') By the time i discover it, she was releasing the death of knight (black matte lipstick and lip liner). I went nuts and bought it for about rm170-200. Yeah, for a lipstick and a freaking pencil. I think, i was possessed. Along the way, i bought her christmas collections lippies, her eyeshadow (this one not a regret) but then, i stopped because im out of greens. :') Yeah, im broke af!
Then, i started to search for dupes. Then i came across all these other brands and such.
Yeah, i learnt to save more money and buy what necessaries. I hold back on what i really really really want. When i cant help it, i would ask my mum, i said i cant sleep and i really want this palette. It cost rm100 and i used it a lot! So yeah, no a waste of money. I search for a lot of ig shops and sell things cheaper.
I warned some of my friends about this fake make up. What fake shit i would still buy, make up brushes and sponge. They are not as good as the expensive one but i could still work with them. My face still turn out great what...
So here people, be educated about what you are passion of or not, you will regret like A LOT!
I still have my make up obsessions and passion about it but more careful and spend for it like, once or twice a year, if there are sales. Aint nobody got money for the price tag on shelves!
I know that not every girls have passion for make up and some of them do think that make up is ridiculous! Wait until you see the finish look, aint ridiculous anymore! Ok excuse my dumb language yang bajet bajet.
The thing is, you will learn a lot thru time. Like, a lot! I find myself in carousell because i know, some people just want to get rid of their make up because either they needed money to buy new one or just needed to clean up their collections. Pretty cheap over there. Like, seriously! Some people's junk could be others treasure, right? Maybe ;)
