The start of my makeup obssesion


I am starting my first blog today and its going to be about one of the things i love most in the world: makeup. I am seriously addicted to it. It all started in 6th grade, when i began middle school. I remember looking at the older girls and wishing i could wear makeup like them. Then one day i saw one of my friends in the bathroom applying lip liner. I quickly asked her if her mom let her do that. She said she wasn't allowed but that her mom wasn't there so she would never know. Then she asked me if i wanted to try it on and of course i said yes! That was the first time i ever wore makeup. I remember meeting her almost everyday, in that same bathroom to try on some of her lip liner. A few months later, i was out with my mom at this flee market and i they were selling lip gloss in one of the stand. It was the clear type that smelled like fruit. I quickly convince my mom to buy me some. That was the first makeup product I had, that was only mine.

Bonnebell lip gloss, i use to love these

Flash forward to 9th grade (first year of high school) and i was wearing my moms makeup everyday to school. I still didn't own my own stuff and I wouldn't until I started working. As soon as i got my first job my makeup addiction began. At first i would buy the necessary things: foundation, blush, mascara, and lip gloss. Then I started buying eye shadows, those were my first addictions and then i really got into lip glosses.

This was my favorite brand when i was in high school
I use to love these lip blams/lip glosses from cover girl
I remember the b/f i had back them would buy me lip glosses as presents lol When i think about those times, i think that my makeup addiction wasn't that bad. It only got worse after i discovered that I could watch girls doing there makeup on YouTube. I quickly became obsessed with beauty channels. Subscribing to a number of beauty vloggers and watching their new post. Listening to all of their tips and watching their beautiful makeup looks. I learned a lot in a few years. So much so that last year, i decided to create my own YouTube vlog account all about makeup. I started to make videos and hauls, it was awesome. Unfortunately I started my senior year in college and i just couldn't do it anymore. I didn't have the time or the drive. I was still watching my favorite beauty gurus but I don't know...i just stopped. I haven't made a video in so many months and some of my friends and even complete strangers have asked me to continue but it just takes so much of my time and they take forever to set up. I am a working mom now and i simply don't think I have the drive or the time for them anymore. So i figured a beauty blog would be the next best thing and so here I am! I hope you all enjoy this and learn alot about makeup as I did. How did your makeup collection start? or when did you get your first makeup product?
