Post No. 86

hello and hello.


So a month ago I did a haul from Cherry Culture after Miss Chaigyaru posted her youtube video of NYX cosmetic haul. And a month later the parcel arrived!



 the packaging good enough to prevent anything from breaking and kept everything tidy.


 I got this eyeshadow palette for my December trip back home. This palette got every color that I will possibly use and it also kinda resembles Urban Decay's Naked palette minus the price. It comes in a good size so it will save me alot luggage space for other stuff. I have not done swatches for this palette, but it does look quite pigmented. Majority of my palettes are of natural hues like brown and bronze, so I don't really use much of other colors, so this one fits me well.
 When I did a swatch for this color, well, I wasn't please. It looked pretty natural on the swatch of the website, and I assumed it will look natural on skin. the lip gloss is very pigmented and it carries a strong gold hint. when I tried it on it looked like I ran out of a circus or a dressed up party. Maybe I'll save this one for other occasions.
 I love this lipstick! I was skeptical when I received this, cuz it looks a lil too bright for my liking. but boy, was I surprised when I tried this one. It definitely gave me a change. One thing that worries me is how long lasting it will be when I go out with this. But I'll definitely purchase this again.
 In the midst of fixing my brow. so I got this Amuse Brow dual powder. I don't thing the tone suits me too well, because it carries a reddish hint. it doesn't show on the palette, but it will when you put in on. I'm pn the fence for this one cuz my eyebrows aren't properly done yet, so I might not what it will possibly look like. but for only $3, it won't do too much of damage to my purse. I can always double this as an eyeshadow or something.
 I got these because they are on sale and are the cheapest thing ever. these two cost me no more than $5. I'm not too sure of the price. I got the gold for this holiday season, gold works well during Christmas. It's not pigmented, so I will layer this on top of my usual black liner. The onyx liner also has simmers in it. Not the best liner that I owned, not sure if it is waterproof or long lasting. the consistency is kinda runny, so I have to layer it to get a darker shade.
Lastly, I got these concealers for my under eye circles. it smells like baby powder and also have this matte finish, unlike some other concealers that has a greasy finish. the coverage is pretty good. works wonders for my under eye circles, but I have problems using this for my acne scars. Probably cuz I'm not good at covering the scars.

Post No. 85

so its November.

finals are lurking around. somewhere in the corner. okay. so to be exact. it is in ten days. ten days. can you believe it? where did the time go? and I will finish all my subjects in six days. four subjects in six days. thats nuts I'd say. but the good thing is, once all this is over I can focus on my job and save up for Malaysia. In five weeks. I'll be boarding on a plane, heading to another five weeks of fun, food and laughter.



gotta love end of the year. so much to look forward too.
