My third Youtube challenge of the year.
The first challenge, blindfolded makeup, made me laugh. The second challenge, letting my cousin do my makeup, made me shriek. While this third challenge made me excited. How else should I feel when Brunei's top makeup artist does my makeup? Albeit with no thumbs.
So how did it go?

My father retorts.
His sarcastic jabs at my makeup are accurate though. Seeing as I do love purchasing new products to play. Though it did make me ponder at the amount I spend. Not just on all my makeup but the makeup I use regularly. So how much do I spend on my everyday face?

And is it worth it?

Standing in front of a camera. Reciting words I wrote long ago. Holding back emotions to stay hollow. So when I speak, it feels like I speak nothing. So I can feel nothing. And yet I still speak, and feel something.
Something building when I mention monsters. Fear monsters will find me. Scared monsters will hate me. Terrified monsters will want me.
And yet I still speak for the monsters. Because they need to be heard.

That is so freaking hard to find. Seriously.
I call this an 'American' Makeup Haul because these US-based brands are hard to find here. A rare commodity, lauded by the few who manage to grab it. International shipping is horrible, expensive and time-consuming.
It would take months before they arrived, friends warned me. These arrived late, three months after purchase. However, that was my own fault. A story for a later time. Now, we'll focus on these products.
So what did I manage to get?

And proceed to fail at professionalism.
The Five Looks For Eid, a highlight of how professional as I could be, ultimately left a lot snipped out. The awkward laughter, long pauses and my inability to hold a brush properly. Yes, there were many scenes cut for the better. Then proceeded to edit together into one pathetic video.
Here is the Blooper Reel!

Even if I am getting older.
More cynical and livid. Eid is something I look forward to every year. A constant good in my life. This year is no different, just 'prettier,' I like to comment. Dolling up, looking better every year. Last year, I featured my Three Days of Eid 2015.

And Selamat Hari Raya!
Chomping on food, meeting old friends and making awkward conversation with family. There's truly nothing like Eid. Hence why I love it so dear. My favourite part is getting ready. Able to dress my best, and slather makeup without hassle. For this year, I thought I would share a few looks. Best for the festive season but easy for beginners.
Here are my #5Looks4Eid!

And most likely, you will be wearing makeup. A lot of it.
By the start, we pamper ourselves with expensive looks, with great flicked liner and contour sharp. It won't last. By the end of the day, mascaras will smudge and lipsticks will fade. An unfortunate, inevitable occurrence. However, there are some ways to minimise the outcome with just a few extra steps.

To put it bluntly.
Scurrying to events and dinners and meetings. Taking shorter sleeps and less time online. It is both a pleasure and a pain. As much as I enjoy these occasions, I enjoy my bed more. June's lazy days evolved into frantic nights. Not necessarily bad, just an unusual good.
So here are my Five Things in June...
