I have a fetish. No, not that fetish. Its a rather different fetish for something.

YES I AM A SUPERFICIAL GIRL BUT I AM NOT A DUMB BLOND.

And I am so proud tot ell you that I am obsessed with fashion, cosmetics, perfumes and all the girly stuff. I have that idiosyncrasy, which I was proudly born with it - I love having collections. Be it, cosmetics, accessories, novels and ya dah ya dah. I am totally in love with it.

All of a sudden, I'm feeling that rush. That sudden urge to shop. Unfortunately, I don not have the time to do so. Insufficient sleep is bugging me, but I have no choice but to live with it. Never mind.

As much as I adore cosmetics, I would still consider myself as a total dimwit in make-up. I love browsing through all kinds of styles and looks, but I don't know how to apply them. Perhaps I am still an amateur, and I wasn't exposed to make-up at a very young age, like, 13 years old. that superficial LAHH. I only started to realise the importance of make-up, probably at the tender age of sixteen. Oh sweet sixteen. But heck, I never went to that extend that I spent my entire parents' money or put my house to mortgage loans just to buy make-ups and add them to my collection at the same time. And of course, make up is about drawing attention to your face assets, and beautifying it, definitely not an alternative to conceal your flaws.

It should be subtle, or if you're daring enough, go for the funky or bold style, with a limit of course. Too much of a good thing can be bad. Plastering your face with loads of foundation will only make you look errrr, mouldy and cake-y. ECH. Applying dark eyeshadows without blending it is a turn-off. ECH. Over-the-top styles are only meant for the runway, though. And also, just because it looks good on others it may not necessarily mean it'll look perfect on you. The trick is to experiment, do more research, watch more make-up tutorials on the net. Simple.

I love MAC, cos its bold. I love their colours, collections and etc.

I love Bobbi Brown, cos its subtle and simple.

I love Benefit cos its funky and its mellow and sweet.

I love Stila because its cute and girly.

But heyyyyy, for every good thing there are always pros and cons.

SIGH. DREAD ALL YOU WANT. LIFE'S LIKE THAT. DEAL WITH IT, PEOPLE.

Be prepared to put on your Fendi sunglasses, dressed in your Miu Miu dress, with your Manolo heels, accessorized with perfect diamonds on your neck and your finger, accompanied with a Louis Vuitton handbag if you want to have proper treatment at XXX counters.

Or else. Be prepared to be ignored and left aside.

SOUNDS, UGLY RIGHT? It is. XXX (make-up brand la, no need to mention) promoters (I do not refer them as make-up artists because their attitude clearly does not depict that) are famous for being rude and harsh. I am superficial. They are superficial, too. But they are being superficial for a bad reason. Do they have to give different treatments to different classes of people? HECK, they're your customers after all. So stop showing your stupid black faces. Freaks.

So, you may question, what do they do, actually?

They chat and gossip with their colleagues at the counters. Or look at the freaking mirror and plaster their faces with make-up. Perhaps glaring at you and being rude when you ask for assistance.

XXX and their lackadaisical attitude of promoters.

MAC (highlight to read) have such wonderful collections, but their promoters are acting like goddesses who have upper hands to treat customers differently and unequally.

You know, sometimes having the best skills is not the ultimate priority. Manners and etiquette are as equal as important as skills, too.

Oh dear, don't make me despise you, darling. I still love you despite of who you are. I'm being neutral at the moment, but I'm clearly uncertain whether it'll happen to me, because it did happen to a couple of my friends. And of course, I don't want to mean to you, because I still adore you.

Don't be such dimwits, okay? :D
