a few of my favourite things...

Since the last favouriticisms (I know it's a made of word) post, I've been on far too many little adventures to shopping mall and stocking up on stuff I clearly didn't need. I didn't end up posting what I bought simply because it was so long ago and I didn't really think it was that interesting. Nevertheless, here are my favourites:

1. Rimmel Scandaleyes Kohl Eyeliner in 005 Nude
love love love this stuff. I use it more than black eyeliner because its it super natural (barely noticeable) and really brightens up your eyes

2. Puretopia Instant Moisture Moisturiser with SPF 15
This has a lovely consistency, smell, no residue and definitely doesn't make me oily throughout the day. being a 2 in 1 product, it's great for a lazy day when I can't be bothered with the separate sunscreen and moisturiser.

3. Australis Colour Inject Lipstick in ChaCha
this is a fairly bright berry red colour that I have enjoyed using as a cream blush. The lipstick itself is very moisturising, vibrant and lasts a long time

4.  Maybelline Fit Me Foundation in 220 Natural Beige
I absolutely love this foundation. It matches my skin perfectly and leaves a natural finish to the skin. Even though I have acne, I still like the light to medium coverage it provides and I just add a little extra concealer on extra angry spots.

5. La Roche Posay Efflacar Duo
What a Cult beauty favourite! This, in combination with a variety of other factor have really improved the appearance of my skin. It is a clear gel which can be used for day and night and definitely isn't overdrying or harsh on my skin. I tend to concentrate it on my spots and spread it thinly to the rest of my face as an acne preventative measure. Since this post was uploaded, my views on this product has changed. After I stopped using this product, the condition of my skin did not change and therefore, I don't think the product really did anything for my skin.


6. Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub
I bought this to cheer myself up after exams and although it was a steep $10 and totally diy-able, I've been addicted to it! As strange as it may sound, it smells and tastes (it is safe to eat) great but I would say Cotton Candy flavour, definitely not bubblegum. It is a really sweet smell though so it's not for everyone and keep in mind that smelling it in the store aint gonna cut it. It will smell completely different at home unless you really block out all the other smells and sniff hard.

7. ELF luscious liquid lipstick in Cherry Tart
Super cheap and super nice. It has a very similar colour to the Revlon Kissable glossy balm crayon stain thin in 001 honey. The only difference is the elf one doesn't last as long but still... it's a tenth of the price of the Revlon one.

Emptiness #1

Well, it has been a while.... I've been really busy lately, wither exams yet even after that chaos, I still couldn't be bothered blogging. I must admit, I was procrastinating.

Anyway, onto my empties (products I've completely used up) so from the top:

1. Aveeno Tinted Moisturiser: Ok, I must confess, I didn't finish this stuff but I honestly, we didn't get along at all! The fragrance smelt clean but strong, it stung my eyes, it was sparkly, balled up really quickly and was overall just a bad product

2. Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer (Shade: Medium)
   It's quite a favourite amongst the beauty community and I quite like it too. I use it on under eyes, blemishes, redness and scarring and it does a pretty decent job at concealing those issues too. Although I have repurchased it 3 times now, I one thing I hate about it is the  twisty packaging. I don't know about your packaging but I waste so much product because the mechanisms don't work properly. I wish they went back to their old squeezy tube packaging.

3. Simple Facial Toner (travel size)
Quite a standard toner, really nothing special except for the fact that it's alcohol free (always a plus) and fairly cheap. I might repurchase it one day.

4. Sukin Facial Moisturiser:
this is just my everyday night time moisturiser. I have normal-combination skin so I don't need a heavy duty moisturiser. I'm currently on my 4th bottle of this stuff and still loving it.

5. Sukin Foaming Facial Cleanser:
A very gentle foaming cleanser that overall works ok but definitely won't repurchase. I'm weird in that I love an EXTRA EXTRA foam foaming cleansers and for me personally, there just wasn't enough foam going on. I'm one of those people that doesn't feel clean unless there's lots of foam.

See you soon,

i don't want it to end

For the past 2 years of my life, I've been really looking forward to the end of high school, you know, the freedom, the university courses, the absence of school uniform etc. I've almost been so excited by the concept of university that I've practically neglected my studies.

It's the holidays now and I was starting and finishing my yearbook page and then it hit me. I really don't want high school to end. The responsibility, the university courses, the reality of what it life. I've been fiercely protected by a schooling system all this time and I really don't know what the 'brave new world" has to offer. I'm terrified to say the very least.
