Everyone is posting their buys and want-to-buys recently!

what's going on?!?! a buying-mmu-and-other-related-stuffs bug going around like the flu bug??

and its making me so tempted to spend! especially when Ann is now a SAHM and is constantly online to tempt me into buying stuffs. *glares at Ann*

I've been tempted into:

1) SN (bought erm 4 lippies and couple of blushes);

2) shespace duo pigments - i am willingly being tempted to donate some $.

3) GOW (ordered my oily/dehydrated kit, mandelic acid and lemongrass cleanser) - ok, this i tempted Ann into it instead, by "GOWWWWWWWWWWW" her every now and then. =x

With almost everyone getting lauress, buffd, coastalscents recently, i kept looking at these websites too!! but i think i will most probably only get coastal scents coz i need another FT as a spare. Speaking of which, i'm so terribly sad that i didnt get my lumiere large FT. It came defected and had to be returned and refunded as they have no more stock. I M SO SAD! *wailsssss*

I think i shall get the following synthetic brushes from CS sooner or later:

1) wide buffer brush

2) powder brush

3) concealor

4) eyeshadow.

Trying too hard to keep my hands tied!!!

I have so many lemmings and yet no moolah to get it. Practically busted my bank account. It makes me sad that i've been working for a couple of years and yet have no savings. =(

Because my skin has been quite bad, my lemmings are all of skincare. Trying to stop buying mmu and buy some commercial makeup to cover my scars. I just bought MAC studio fix fluid yesterday for some heavy coverage days (which is almost every day). But mainly i bought it for use for a good friend's wedding in 2 weeks time.

I'm starting to get annoyed with people who keep asking what happened to my face. Its like practically almost everyone i see asks me that. My receptionist, my colleagues, the lady at the stationery shop, my classmates. GOSH. its irritating. My dad asked me once and i flared up at him, became moody and even forgo-ed my chance at the Singapore Flyer. What a waste!

Exams are up in a month's time. Trying to juggle work and studies aint an easy feat. sometimes i wish i could go back and become a full time student, however $$$ is also important.

Anyway, this post started off with my lemmings and i shall put them down here so that i can save up (hee hee hee):

Garden of Wisdom

Oily/Dehydrated Kit - Jen recommended me this! - USD $29.90

Go Away Scar cream - USD $19.45

Go Away Circles (waiting for my bf to review first) - $13.90

Mandelic Serum -

Hmm i guess that's about all.

I've gotten my previous loot of GoW which costs almost 100SGD for me.

I love the cleansing oil best. Really feels the junk coming out. Least favourite is the azulene base cream. Doesnt seem to moisturise my face. I've changed back to using my emu oil.

Well, i'm loving MacDonalds! =x

and my MMBB liquid foundation! it looks really natural and radient!

and it feels really light on the face. So i went ahead and gotten a 5g in med light. =)

the happy thing is, i realised my pores have shrunk. I have no idea why or what shrunk it, but what matters is that IT HAS SHRUNK!!!!!!!!!! yippee!

However i'm having a spotty period lately. My jaw area is still congested and to top it off, i;m having pimples on my cheek, on both sides of my forehead. and it has been there for some time and doesnt go off.

i'm gonna try the red clay mask i've gotten from Lisa on my jaw area. hopefully it will purge them out and i'll have clear skin soon!

*prays hard*

Okay, this seems fun if almost everyone is doing it. hehe shall try my hand at it too.

Skin Type: Dehydrated, but T-zone is oily. Jaw area is congested with bumps and whatsnot. enlarged pores. redness in face sometimes.

Known Sensitivities (if any): Not known. Hope not. =x

Top Mineral Foundations: (not in any order) Meow Naughty Abyssnian (Pampered and Flawless), Lumiere light med  warm in cashmere, MMBB light beige, Silk Naturals.

Top Finishing Powders/Powder Primers: MMBB translucent veil/petal veil (however, the oil control still not good enough for me, face will be oily at around 6pm), Alima's primer, Lumiere Sand (flawless), SN Pearlfecting powder. I kinda like April's mix (Pureluxe) as primer as it conceal my pores but no oil control (OUT!)

Wow, i realised my makeup is really minimal compared to the rest. HAHAH. and i'm really getting confused over my skintone, undertone and whatever.

I'm starting to wonder if i'm really a naughty abyssnian as Nikki, Mmichellee and Sugarette are all using Naughty Abyssnian, but Nikki and Michelle's skin tone is medium, not sure bout Sugarette.

Also in another forum, there was someone using Lumiere's light med warm like me, but she's using frisky chartreux.

*scratches head* i am confused once again!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alrighty, yesterday was the start of my hectic week (in school, not at work). My lessons started yesterday and will last till Sunday, with 1 day break on Monday and recontinue on Tues and Wed.

My lecturer dropped the bombshell on us last night. The intensive revision schedule is out. It will last for 6 weeks, with 1 week break after the 1st 2 weeks. The schedule goes like this:

Sat 2-9pm

Sun 10-5pm

Mon 630-930pm

Tue 630-930pm.

My weekends are burnt. But this also meant that my exams are nearing very soon. I counted yesterday. 14 weeks from yesterday to my first paper. I have to start studying like IMMEDIATELY. Been procrastinating since last November with excuses like, Nov-Bday month, Dec-Xmas, Jan-preparation for CNY, Feb-CNY. I have no other reasons to not start studying already! But its really damn tiring to study after a day of work. Hmm, i need more tonics!

I had a funny incident with my classmate yesterday. We were walking to the busstop after class, and were discussing about dogs. I told her that female dogs have periods and she was like "ARE YOU SURE? SERIOUS?". It was damn funny in the sense that I wouldnt expect her to not know this as she is much older than me (around 20 years older) and i thought she was more street-wise. She really didnt believe me and we had a bet over a cup of tea. And she sms-ed her friend to verify immediately, still didnt believe it, and searched online after class. LOL! and yay! i won a cup of tea for class tonight!

I couldnt really sleep last night and slept at around 1am (maybe coz i was busy playing my Nintendo DS-lite and was excited at almost completing it =x) and surprisingly not feeling too sleepy now. I realised i have a tendency to be sleepy at certain timings eg. 2pm after lunch and 7pm-730pm when i'm in class. this has been proved for at least 2 years. I doze off many times at 7pm or thereabouts, half listening to the lecturer and scribbling my notes in a manner that i can recognise that i was sleep-writing, and around 730pm, i will be awake and feeling refreshed.

So, i was saying, i wasnt feeling too tired this morning, and i just had the feeling that i wana try my EDM's sunkissed fair again.

DSC00062

 It looks okay on me. But, everything kinda looks ok on me. Hmm. The reason why i stopped using EDM the previous time was coz it turned patchy on me (i wonder if it is due to me being inexperienced in applying it). Hence i tried again with my newfound experience (heh heh). Hope it turns out okay in the evening (not much oxidisation, not patchy etc).

Face:

Petal Veil from MMBB as primer and finishing powder

EDM's sunkissed fair in semi-matte

EDM pink ribbon blush

I'm still a little under the weather and lazy to put on eye makeup.

oh yea, regarding my jaw area bumps and scars and whatsnot, i went for a facial early this week and the facialist told me they are blackheads and some are headless stuffs (i cant remember what she said) which she didnt extract. She told me that they will surface sooner or later. I can either purge them out or leave it till they surface naturally. Dilemma.

I wish and hope for my good skin once again!

I'm still feeling a lil weak, but today being friday, i felt better. Last working day of the week! YAY!

Gotta rest well this weekend so that i will have the energyt for classes next week. Next week's lessons are a killer.

Wed 630-930 pm
Thurs 630-930 pm
Fri 630-930 pm
Sat 2-730pm
Sun 10-2 pm

I tested Joppa this morning, the shades are pretty alright for those i ordered. But Nutmeg seems a little too golden for me. Shall try the rest out soon.

DSC00057

I had on:
Alima's primer
Joppa's Bronzed Sienna
Joppa's dewy silk finish
EDM's pink ribbon blusher

It gives me a dewy look which i like! but i'm afraid its a lil too dark. Shall wait till end of the day and give my verdict on this.

I went off work early today as my nose is really killing me and making me drowsy. I was the first one home so i went to open the letterbox and saw a yellow package in the mail.

here are my loots:

DSC00056

I've gotten 3 set of the 3pc sampler, 4 eyeshadows samples (the other 2 are free i suppose) and a powder buffer brush. I admit, the brush was bought on impluse. I cannot resist it. It looked so good on the site. LOL!.

Anyway, i really gotta stop buying stuffs. I'm pretty broke nowadays.

Ok, random pics.

I straightened my hair earlier this week. Cost me $200.

DSC00054

Its not really super straight but its more natural. Makes my hair more manageable, although the ends are like VERY dry now. Sigh.

I did mention my jaw area is breaking out for dont know what reasons, here's a pic of it:

DSC00055

This pic only shows part of it. Its worse in real life. There's bumps and little red dots which i cannot get rid of. I exfoliate and mask twice a week, its still the same. Sighz. Any solutions for this people?

Off to take a nap, hope i get well soon!
