. . . Hi.
Um . . . all I can say is uh, you were forewarned? ^^;
yeah my project has sucked my life into a pile of denial and yeah 2 months late but better than not at all, right? . . . maybe?
So I
love watching/reading monthly favourites as well as empties, however I usually
don’t have a lot of things to talk about myself, what with my relatively
infrequent use of makeup, so I decided to combine the favourites and empties of
every 2 months, like Fables in Fashion does, though she limits it to 2
favourites a month. I may not even have 2 favourites in a month so I’m just
going to leave it at whatever number of things I’m loving at the moment. (P.S. if you haven't already heard of Celina, check her out she's awesome.)
Favourites:
Australis
budapash velourlips
I’m
making this a favourite for the sole reason that I love this colour. I only
wore it like once or twice in April (bought it in late March) but every time I
just wanted to stare at my lips in the mirror because this colour was so
perfectly what I wanted.

Batiste
dark & deep brown dry shampoo
This
colour is harder to find than the brunette one, some pricelines don’t stock it
I think so I didn’t realise they had this, but I love that it’s dark enough
that you can’t really see it in my hair.

Gloss
professional angled blush brush
Up
til now I’ve been applying blush with my fingers or a cheap rounded brush which
I didn’t like ‘cause it was scratchy. I’ve been eyeing a couple of
blush/contouring brushes online but then I went to Gloss and actually touched a
tester. So soft and smooth~ and it was angled so contouring would be easy
right? This brush is so much more comfortable to use and softens the blush so
much faster than my fingers (obviously).
Empties:
Daiso
face powder
Well
I didn’t finish this so much as I dropped it and it fell down a grate ;P. but I
hit major pan before that happened so I came really close! I bought this powder
because its colour (pale yellow, you know asian here?) was a good match for me
in terms of tone though it was noticeably lighter. My T-zone would start
getting shiny looking after ~4 hours, which I’d say is pretty decent for a
$2.80 powder. It wasn’t the finest milled nor the smoothest when applied, and
if I reapplied it didn’t last as long but for the price, not bad.
Otaku
pomegranate mask
Was
nice? I think the pomegranate one was meant to be brightening and it might
have, but I was so tired the day I used it I’m not sure anything could’ve made
a difference. It did leave my skin feeling moisturised and I think it was good
for my forehead which may get oily due to dehydration, it’s kinda debatable
whether it’s that or just excess oil period.
Klorane
dry shampoo with nettle – oil control
So
now I know I don’t have OILY hair as according to Klorane because this stuff
was hardcore. It sucked all the oil out of my second day hair to the point that
my roots were a little powdery and dry feeling and this is with minimal
spraying. Also it apparently takes me only 2 months to go through an average
bottle of dry shampoo (in this case a 150ml), and that’s with semi-regular use.
I clearly have too much hair. Now I really want to try the dry scalp one. And
maybe a bigger can.
