mini haul


1. The Body Shop Almond Oil Daily Hand & Nail Cream

2.  The Body Shop Shea Body Scrub
Using this in replacement of Precious Thots Green Apple Foaming Body Scrub which I am close to finishing. I will miss the fruity scent of my current body exfoliator.

This youtube guru whom I really like and enjoy her videos, fuzkittie, inspired me with her "My Touch Up Routine".


1. RMK Eyelash Curler

2. RMK Extra Deep W Mascara

Bought these as a set for an exclusive price because Mom's a RMK VIP. The professional lady did a demonstration of both products on me and I really liked it! Priscy even asked if I was donning falsies!


RMK Gloss Lips N P-08 Natural Beige
I have had so many drastic lip colours that I figured it's time to tone down and get myself a less conspicuous option for school. I opted for gloss because I simply own too many lipsticks!


Sephora Highlighting Primer
I love bright, radiant, glowy finishes hence I was stoked to lay my hands on this highlighting base. No offence but I would not recommend this to those who have acne scars or pimply bumps on their faces because the primer will only accentuate their facial flaws instead of shielding them. Try to opt for mat finishes for those seeking to use make-up to cover blemishes and achieve smooth skin.


Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua B20 Beige-Tendre

When I told the Chanel SL I was looking for liquid foundation, she instantly enquired what my make-up concerns were, "oil-control? pores?". Then she peered closely at my skin and immediately shoved Vitalumiere Aqua in front of my face. This product has sheer coverage and the texture is comparatively watery. In contrast to Lift Lumiere, the former has a more runny consistency that results in a lighter finish. I asked to take a look at the other Chanel fluid foundations (Pro Lumiere, Mat Lumiere, Vitalumiere, Whitening) and she was adamant about me not even coming close to them. She claimed she was VERY CERTAIN I only needed Vitalumiere Aqua because my complexion does not require much coverage. She was also exclaiming in shock to know I have used Lift Lumiere and repeatedly emphasised that it is UNSUITABLE for me. Undeterred, I asked again if I could look at the Whitening series and she threw me an amused albeit incredulous look, "you're already using the second lightest shade for Vitalumiere Aqua!". FML. In the end, I had to wait for her to scurry off to entertain another customer before I could secretly test the other foundations for myself. True to her words, I did not like any of them as much as Vitalumiere Aqua. By the way, the hilarious Chanel SL who attended to me was VERY PRETTY. Her complexion was flawless, her skin was translucent and she was really beautiful. Even my Mom agreed!
