The 'Make Up' Trap & Welcome

Welcome to 'Make Up' reviews by Ivy.
I'll probably talk about other random topics too.... like the fact that once you start using and wearing make up daily you get caught in the "make up" trap! Aggghh! That's right... it's a trap.
You start off buying one foundation or one lipstick... and before you know it you decide you want to start wearing mascara and maybe a little blush. Then.... low and behold you're daily make up consists of wearing pore minimizer, make up base, then foundation, powder to set the foundation, bronzer, highlighter, blush, eyeshadow, eyeliner, gel eyeliner, mascara, eye brow powder or pencil, lip liner, lipstick, lipgloss and to finish it off you're setting the whole lot with some finishing spray! Phew! You alter your wake up time at least 15 minutes earlier to accommodate your make up routine.
Having said all of the above, I love make up. It makes me feel more confident (sadly, I have some acne scars, oily t-zone, discolouration... and the list goes on) and it makes me feel beautiful! I'm just hoping I don't become that scary person you stare at and say... "OMG look at all the make up she has caked on her face and it doesn't even look good" eeekkkk!
I hope that my future reviews shed some light on beauty products.
Laters.
