Only two months left and I will be 25. I talked to the lovely self and I was able to develop this clear vision that I really want to come true in this lifetime. As part of the preparation for my restart, I decided to take baby steps at the present time, so I would already be adjusted once 9 - 29 comes. My everyday routine now excites me, to be honest. And one part of that idealized self that I am working on: beauty. As well as the body, brains, behavior, too, of course. People know me as the kikay kid. I know I am. But, I was not religiously interested in makeup and skincare. I know the basics and I think I am doing them on some days, but not like the others that these things are part of their life cycle. I am more of a fashion and style kind of kikay. Just some dressing up and I am good to go. But now? I wanna level up! This is whyyy I bought some essentials at BeautyMnl.com last 15th. I got my first paycheck in my fourth employer, so please allow me to enjoy my hard work. Haha! Because before, I really just saved. I was saving for my travels, but rainy days came to our family, so I had to tighten my budget. I helped the fam anyway, so still, it is okay. Right? Yes! Yay! A n y w a y ... I bought a jade roller, castor oil, eyeshadow, and contour palette. Realized I am so stingy because all of my buys are under PhP 500! But no regrets! I got such good stuff, eh? I prefer the things that are compatible with me and my means. With a name or without the brand, as long as I feel like it suits me, g! Some may not agree with me, but you do you -- and this me. De-Puffing Jade Facial Roller from BE KIND - PhP 499 Been wanting to have this jade roller since forever because this tita is starting to get scared with aging. And in fairness, huh! It really is relaxing, especially when cooled in the fridge before use! I am doing my rollings every morning after bath and moisturizer and every evening before sleeping. Castor Oil with Mascara Brush by Miju Glow - PhP 99 I used castor oil before. Back in 2018. But I stopped. I forgot why, but yep. My brand before was effective, so I want one again. I cannot remember where I had the one from the past, but hopefully, this castor oil from Miju would effect on me, too. Yes, I am back at it! For longer and fuller eyelashes! Sunset Eyeshadow Palette by Novo Cosmetics - PhP 449 I own some eyeshadow palettes. However, I do not have neutral shades, so here it is! I finally bought myself the dream eyeshadow palette, woohoo! It is a 16-color eyeshadow palette that creates a natural, healthy, and silky finish. Extra love this because I am such a sunset person. SML! Nefertiti Contour Kit by Cathy Doll - PhP 299 Nefertiti Contour Kit has two shades: Cleopatra Secret and Nefertiti Weapon. I got the Nefertiti Weapon because duh, this is Nefertiti Contour Set! I also think the colors in this palette would blend well in my skin, so Nefertiti it is. Are they not evident? I am investing in makeup right now! I know I will not go anywhere yet, but I wanna practice my makeup skills. I wish to buy eyeliner, mascara, lip balm, and primer, but my preferred brands are still out of stock. I also want this amazing eye-and-cheek stack, but they are not yet available. Huhu, right? I am gonna make abang nalang muna. Besides, I still have my old makeup stocks here, so it is just okay. Next cut-off, I am looking forward to buying some skincare naman. To be honest, I am scared about that because my face skin looks okay even without these thingies. It's just that, my body skin... It is sensitive, and not just sensitive, but diagnosed as hypersensitive by the dermatologists! And I wanna work on this again. Gotta get back my self-confidence! Bye money, but I need to kem bek te the yeng and biyutipul me, so tiis ganda to be more maganda! Hopefully, hopefully, hopefullyyy, I would have a haul about my pampaganda and kakikayan purchases next month. Crossing my fingers for that, so watch out for it! For now... Ingat! 💖
