It's never good for a girl, namely me, to be let loose on Oxford Street with a debit card begging to be used. And it's definitely not going to help the situation when the girl has a friend in tow that is another beauty freak and gently giving you the last push. That whole scenario happened last weekend when Anya made her way down...

The problem with having ready access to the internet is that it's near impossible to keep up with the information boom. For example, you're in uni and a fellow classmate suddenly pulls out a claim that you've never read about, even if you've scoured through dozens of readings to write up an essay. The same applies to beauty-related websites, there's just, quite frankly,...

The past two weeks have been a good mixture of eventful and mundane. But hey, life can't always be fireworks and parties (says the person that is too lazy to drag herself to a party), right?  The past two weeks have been a good mixture of eventful and mundane.

 Such a food title. I've been playing with colors more in the past months, starting with baby steps from neutral purples to brighter greens, before finally elevating to incorporating MAC Cranberry into a wearable daytime look. This was also the look that I wore to Hadley Fraser's gig on Sunday, I was originally planning on making a chit chat Get Ready With Me...

I have a lot of brushes. Possibly more than I'll ever need. I'd be lying if I said that all of them were essential, but that said, there are several brushes in my collection that, while not essential, are very nice to have around.  I have a lot of brushes. Possibly more than I'll ever need. I'd be lying if I said that...

 I haven't done one of these in ages! There's going to be a slight change on the blog regarding my Sunday schedule - I plan to alternate between The Update and Currently Loving so hopefully, this series will be updated more frequently and I won't be under the stress to put forward The Update every Sunday when I'm stressing over unfinished school work....

 I knew that title would suck some of you pervy minds in...(it's okay, I'm not judging)  Anyway, we are not going to talk about the frick fracks. That's for another blog on another site written by another blogger. Definitely not me. *cough* I think I should stop digging a hole that'll later collapse in on itself with me at the bottom. This is...

This seems to be one of those products that just exploded in popularity overnight, so naturally, there were some of you that wanted reviews when I showed this in the Tarte haul post (read here). I've been using this religiously for three weeks now and it's more than safe to say I'm completely head over tail in love.  Oh right, my face was unedited...

TMI, for those of you that don't know, means Too Much Information. And well, the more you know, sometimes might not always be the case. I'm a person that likes to ramble on and on and on, so when I was tagged by Julie to do the TMI tag, I was part scared and part excited to do it.  TMI, for those of you...

Oh man, I should up my time management skills. It’s been the second consecutive time since I’ve been late for the weekly update. I was debating myself into making this a bi-weekly thing, to balance with my school schedule and such. Would there be a mini riot if I did that?  Anyway, let’s move on.Last was a relatively quiet one with episodes in...

 Oh Tarte! Why can't we just be happy together? I really don't like this long distance relationship thing we have going on. Our story starts a couple years back. People were talking and through their descriptions, I fell in love with Tarte, but it was always from a distance. I never had the chance to see Tarte vis-a-vis (a fancy word for 'face...

There are those days when you just can't be bothered. You know what I mean, right? The days when I wake up in haze, have zilch motivation, and still have to look composed to reluctantly tackle the day. During these days, the uniform is jeans and a jumper; the makeup is harder to determine as I have so many options on hand. But...

[Jouer Matte Moisture Tint | NARS Sheer Glow | Vichy Dermablemd  Considering I only have one face, I have way too many foundations. I don't need anymore bases of any sort, but I just can't stop myself from buying more? I have a problem. There, I said it. Admitting is the first step right? Confession time aside, for those days when I don't want to spend...
