Makeup is a girl's best friend (other than diamonds, of course!) and I give myself the biggest applause for officially deciding to get hold of the basics (my considered basic, that is).

I put on makeup only when needed - I am not an expert but I am interested and very much willing to learn. How's that for a beginner? *wink* I just feel the need for it, specially when there are formal events where I need to look a little bit different than the usual.

A visit to Sephora ended Thursday, spending half an hour walking to and fro, and getting amazed with what I'm seeing. A wide selection of makeup, perfume, and beauty products fill the place, leading me to ask, "Am I missing a lot?" But hey, I didn't go out empty-handed.

I got the Sephora Mineral Compact Foundation (27sgd). It has a double-sided sponge, has no fragrance, and is oil-free. With my red flats from the warehouse sale, I bought Maybelline's Mineral Power Blush (2sgd) and EyeStudio eye shadow (2sgd). To complete, there's Avon mini eyeliner, Catwalk lip gloss, and Elf hypershine gloss (from Kaith).

Sunrise and sunset never fails to put a smile on my face. 

The beauty it gives the sky, it's warmth.

It's priceless, how magical!

Here below are the topics for a 30-day blog challenge. This was shared by Kaith who's excited to take this to the next level and give it a twist. True, some questions are quite revealing that I am thinking twice if I'm ready to confess. That is something I myself will look forward to.

A tough and exciting 30-days indeed. Now, who's up to give it a try and dare to bare?
