Window Shopping Wants.

One of those days, where I have nothing much to do on the computer and I find myself on Sephora’s website.

Here are some of the stuff that I’m eyeing on and that might perhaps be an option for you when you do some Sephora shopping!

Look at the gorgeous items. 

Urban Decay Naked 3. 

I have never lusted for Naked 1 & 2, but the thought of this palette being rose-hued just blew my mind. I need it!

YSL Touche Eclat. 

Highly raved and luxurious packaging. I’ve always wanted to try one of these but the price tag has deterred me. Absolutely in love with the packaging and I’m aware that some drugstore brands have tried making a “dupe” or “knockoff” of this. But of course, nothing can beat the feeling of using the real deal.

NARSissist Cheek Kit.

I’m a fan of NARS, (though I only own the Orgasm blush. meh.) so the thought of having a cheek kit with the amazing quality is quite exciting. Perfect for traveling.

Eve Lom Rescue Mask.

I managed to get a sample of this mask and I must say that it works wonders. Perfect for those days before a big event (or even on the day itself) and you want to look your best. I need to get my hands on this soon, there’s so many bumps on my face and it’s frustrating.

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil.

I have one in the shade Rockstar and I think that it’s a great alternative to the usual black or blue. It’s so creamy and smooth, has to be my favorite eyeliner at the moment. Definitely want to own more!

NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer. 

Another highly raved product, I’m amazed by the coverage it gives. Also, it’s suitable to be applied all over the face, for all kinds of imperfections, so I’m eyeing on them.

YSL Volupte Sheer Candy. 

Just… The packaging. It’s orgasmic and absolutely luxurious. Not to mention it has been raved by essiebutton and I love her taste. I can’t wait to get my hands (and lips) on this baby.

YSL Rouge Volupte Shine. 

I’m not sure if I’m going through a “phase”, but I have been rather interested in dark lips lately. Maybe it’s the grungy mode that I’m starting to get into, but I’m real digging dark lips.

NARS Sheer Glow Foundation. 

I’ve seen Tanya Burr talk about this and I’m pretty attracted by the coverage and glow that it gives. Very natural and fresh! Sadly, it’s about $82 (including the pump) over here. I might get one at the end of the year when I go to the US.

YSL Rouge Pur Couture Glossy Stain.

By now… You can probably tell my obsession with YSL. From their perfumes to bags, I’ve quite fancied them. And now that I’ve found out about their makeup brand, amazing. The packaging, quality and pigmentation are fantastic and I can’t wait to own more.

Dior Lip Glow. 

Apparently this changes according to your body’s temperature and gives an amazing shade of pink that is “your lips, but better”. Plus it’s a lip balm, so I won’t feel that I’m wearing anything too over the top.

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush. 

The packaging’s so sleek and cool, plus I’ve heard quite a few positive reviews about it. I like the marbleized effect of the blush and I don’t think it’s sold where I am so… Sad face! But it’s a good thing as well, or else it’ll add up to my “makeup bill”

Anastasia Tinted Brow Gel. 

I feel that this is a great option when you’re in a rush as all you have to do is run this through your brows. I’m pretty sure you can do a DIY one, but since Anastasia is a professional brand, it should be pretty good.

Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Eyeliner. 

I’ve seen Ingrid (missglamorazzi) use this and I like how fine the tip is. It’ll give the nicest and most precise wings, in my opinion. The downside is that it’s waterproof. Not a fan of using a makeup remover.

Hourglass Arch Brow Sculpting Pencil. 

I’ve seen Estee use this and I like how the pencil is in that shape, makes it easier for filling the brows! Plus it seems really quick too.

Diorshow Iconic Mascara. 

I love how the brush looks and of course, I trust Dior makeup. Not a fan of the packaging though, the little patterns in the background isn’t the most flattering thing ever.

Alright! That’s all I have for today and I hope you’ve enjoyed this post, and perhaps interested in getting a couple of items that I’ve featured.

Stay tuned for my next post, where it’ll be a sequel to the how to be a tumblr girl.

Stressed.

With exams coming in about 37 more days, I am way beyond busy and stressed out.

Pimples are now finding a home on my face and there are days of sleepless nights.

How to get rid of those pesky enemies?

First off, NEVER pop them, no matter how tempting it is! There’s a chance of it leaving a scar, and that is not glamorous. Second, wash your face, but don’t over-wash it! It’ll get rid of the natural oils your face has and your skin will be all dry and that ain’t anything good. Thirdly, destress! But isn’t it true that everyone would say “exercise, yoga etcetc” c’mon, ain’t nobody got time for that!

So here’s how :

{ Honey, Aspirin and water }
Mix several regular aspirins with a small amount of water. Be sure you fully crush the aspirin into a powder form to achieve the full effect.
Add one teaspoon of honey, which acts an antibacterial agent and it will also soften and moisten the skin.
Leave mask on your face for up to 15 minutes. Rinse well with warm water and pat dry with a clean towel.
This mask would be a salicylic acid one, and it’ll help get rid of those unwanted pests.

{ Oatmeal mask }
Combine one cup of regular oatmeal (not steel cut) with 2/3 cup of boiling hot water. Mix well and then allow the oatmeal to cool because you don’t want to burn your skin!
Add ¼ cup of honey to the cooled oatmeal, the honey will act as an antibacterial and moisturizing agent.
Then apply to clean skin and allow it to dry for up to 20 minutes. Rinse well with mild soap and warm water.
The starch in oatmeal will help to moisturize the skin and remove excess oil! Win.

What about those dark circles that make you seem like you haven’t slept in 100 years?

{ Get your sleep }
Lets face it, ain’t nobody got time for that.

{ Cucumber slices }
Cut a few thin – medium slices of cucumber, put it in the fridge to cool till it’s nicely cold then place it over your eyes for 10-15 minutes while lying down. For some reason, if you want to use tomatoes because of the water content as well, DONT. It stings.

{ frozen spoon }
Get a frozen spoon and put it over your dark circles for 10-15 minutes till it’s warm.

I hope those tips were a good idea and help for those who needs help in the pimple and dark circles area! If you want more of these type of posts, comment below!

By the way I was just watching Blurred Lines and I have to say Robin Thicke has amazing blue eyes, after Bradley Cooper. And I bet those girls were models because of the tooth gap and prominent cheekbones.
