I can't remember the last time that I bought a complete make up set. Most of the time I'm already happy with a powder and and a lip gloss. Earlier this month I decided to buy a new set of make up since i have some events that I will attend to. 2 weddings and 1 birthday/out of town trip. Another reason for this purchase is because I'm trying to gain some self confidence since some people are trying to bring me down because of my weight problems. I had been diagnosed PCOS which brought the hormonal imbalance. Wearing make up somehow makes me feel good about myself. Well back to the topic. I was trying to look for a complete set within my budget. I try to use an article from Cosmopolitan Magazine as my guide to what make up to buy on a certain budget. As I had checked on the cosmetics available in Watsons I thought it would be impossible for me to get a complete set for PHP1500.00 But then I saw this promo from 4u2. I get the blush on, eye shadow, lipstick,gel eyeliner and powder for only P900 compared to the regular price of P1500.00 that gives me extra money to buy a mascara and another foundation. The sales lady in Watsons in SM Megamall Department Store was also kind enough to teach me how to properly apply the make up. Thanks to her tips many people gave wonderful compliments about my updated look. Aside from photography tips, I also watch make up tutorial videos in youtube. Its not about being vain bu just trying to avoid to look like a clown with too much make up on my face. :-p Who knows in the future I can also be a photographer and make up stylist at the same time. A girl can dream right? :-)

Tiffen Filter Set
For the past few weeks I have this itch to buy a filter set for my camera. After attending another Photoskwela class from Canon, I'm so amaze with the effects that it gives your photo without having to do so much post processing. I've been wanting to buy it more after watchin the tutorial videos from youtube.
One reason to buy a filter set which contains a UV, CPL and ND filter instead of purchasing it seperate (and branded) one is that i'm just new into this field and I believe I'm stll in period of learning. The afforrdabilty of this product helps me experiment on using filters in my photos. Hopefully, as time goes by and turning Pro, I'll gain more skills with their help and produce better images. As they say,A good photo is not always made with the expensive gears but the great skills by the photographer.
Well I hope I can plan my next roadtrip and test this new baby.
