Welcome~!

Welcome to Pretty 'n About! Now I'm no makeup artist, but the point of blogs is to record whatever it is you want to record and share with whoever you want right? Eating out and recently makeup are some of my passions, and so what better way to chronicle these experiences than to blog about them?

First a bit about me. I've only started to be interested in makeup about 2 years ago (I'm now 20+), so by no means am I a professional or claim to be good at what I do. Having said that, being a novice meant that I'll be trying a bunch of different products to find the ones that suit me. I'm also somewhat of a mascara fiend, as that's probably the most user-friendly makeup product of all. Consequently, I have a feeling most of my posts will be mascara-related.

Over the years I've been trying to find reviews of certain products online and find that a lot of the blogs, although extensive in product range, don't actually show real pictures of what the product looks like on the part of the body it's meant for (ie. eyeshadow on the eye). I just thought it'll be helpful if I actually chronicle my trial and errors whilst providing real pictures for comparison. Wouldn't that be great?

Another thing. I'm frugal. I can safely say that I'll very likely never buy a $20+ tube of mascara. My purchases will mainly be drugstore brands but I do allow myself a monthly splurge, and I do that with great discretion. Skincare, however, I do allow myself to splurge a little. We'll see what that'll bring.

To further help things out, I should probably describe my skin-type and similar information, so you'll know what my experiences pertain to. I am Asian with oily combination skin. Naturally I also have short, straight lashes. Waterproof mascaras and I can't seem to become friends no matter how many times we try. I contribute that to my oily skin. As we all know, waterproof mascaras come off only with oil-based remover, so I guess my face is one big vat of waterproof mascara remover. So, my arsenal of mascaras are mostly the regular wash-off kind.

Well, that's all I can think of that's of use right now. I will add more as things come up~

And that's what this blog is. My trial and errors. I hope you enjoy your stay.

XOXO,
Wendy
