The Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual + Malcolm Gladwell’s The Tipping Point. Both bought at Fully Booked with my Fully Booked card, which entitles me to a 10% discount. I got a bigger discount with the Bobbi Brown book though. Nakalimutan ko na kung bakit. Basta mura yan. Hihi. (Insert: How I wish the iPod Touch had a better camera. Huhuhuhu.)
Most makeup enthusiasts would probably tell you that the Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual is one of the most comprehensive guides for makeup and all that shiz. It has almost everything, from skin care to which types of eyeshadow formula would work for Asian eyes. Yes, may ganong chenes. With the first chapters of the book (na tungkol nga lahat sa proper skin care) ang dami ko agad napulot. I think it’s nice that Bobbi, yes close kami, started with that kasi totoo namang kahit ang pinakamagandang foundation in the world pa ang gamitin mo, balewala rin kung puro ka naman pimples underneath. She also stressed how bad smoking is for the skin–I love you, Bobbi Brown. Though akala ko talaga dati, lalake si Bobbi Brown. Bobbi eh, tapos Brown pa. Malay ko ba sa makeup, wala naman akong makeup funds dati kaya hindi ko inaatupag. Anyway, the Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual is a good buy for girls. Fine, women. It has almost everything–makeup tools, how to cover eye bags, how to fight a “bad face day” etc. Akalain nyo, may bad face day pala.
The Tipping Point is also informative. It’s a good read, pero hindi sya good buy. I’ve read it twice because I’m taking notes, as in I have a notebook for it ha. Bakit? Kasi feeling ko nagbabasa ako ng handouts assigned by a professor for a class discussion and a long exam. It’s basically a compilation of stories na iisa ang tumbok: how little things can make a big difference. I bought the book more than two years ago, I think, but I decided to read it again this month because I need more information for a project that I will be working on this June–yes, it has something to do with business. Kumikitang kabuhayan, mga ate, mga kuya. Malcolm Gladwell’s The Tipping Point is not only for business people though, I’ve said that it’s a good read in the sense na ang daming pwedeng matutunan about how people respond to trends–in short, it’s about the best way kung papano mapansin, kung anong kelangan, kung ano dapat etc. Yun nga lang, I don’t think pwedeng i-apply sa love life at panglalandi ang principles sa Tipping Point. Unless dream mong ma-in love sayo ang lahat ng tao sa barangay nyo.
O siguro medyo fun din yung buong barangay naglalaway sayo paglabas mo ng bahay. Maybe it’d be a good idea to use the makeup tips from Bobbi Brown and the papansin tips from The Tipping Point. Now I have a project! I need volunteers!
