Today marks my biggest haul ever. I finally decided to take the makeup artistry class after months of contemplating. And it seemed to work on my part. Our class is the smallest batch our teacher ever had, which meant a more focused and personal training.
Anyways, for the tools and makeup products, our teacher recommended a variety of products ranging from low end brands to high end brands. I was so excited that I went straight to the mall to buy the stuff that I need (well most of it).
I went to the MAC store at shangri-la to buy foundations and powders. I was too busy thinking about my list that I wasn’t able to double check what I bought. Turns out the SA gave me a wrong foundation and shade. I asked for a Studio Fix Fluid in NC20 and she gave me a Select SPF 15 in NC25. And she didn’t even give me freebies because it was out of stock. So i have to go back tomorrow and have it replaced. As for the gel liners, I got them from a friend and my cousin.
I bought blushes and lipsticks from Ever Bilena since our teacher highly recommends it for low end brands. I wouldn’t have thought of it but hey, it works. I still have tons to buy on my list and I need it by Saturday.
I’ll be housing these stuff in the traincase I bought at Quiapo a couple of weeks back. I wanted to get a plain black case but I didn’t like the compartments of it. So I got this instead…
I’m now officially bankrupt. I just hope I do well in school. =s

Hi! you can find the store at Manila City Plaza in Quiapo. Its near the Quiapo Church. The airconditioned building with the Jollibee in it. The stores are located in the 2nd and 3rd floor (same owner). The traincases range from 1500 (smallest) up. Mine costs 2500. 🙂

hi! what makeup school did you enroll in and how much does it cost? i’ve been thinking a lot about trying out makeup school (even short courses lang) but i’m scared ‘coz it might leave me flat broke because of all the makeup i’d be required to buy. but i’m really really interested. 😦

Hi! I enrolled in Lasalle College International. The makeup artistry costs 14500. So far, after canvassing for makeup schools LCI offers the most affordable program, and next is SOFA. I recommend you try it. What’s nice about LCI is that they let you do apprenticeships/OJT. Well I’m actually flat broke now because of all the stuff I bought for makeup school. LOL but at least im happy! its totally worth it. the teacher gives options for you to start out with low end makeup brands, so i think you’ll be able to come up with a budget. goodluck! 😀
