Stuff I Got From The Body Shop

I got loose face powder, liquid foundation, hydrating primer, mascara, red lipstick, tea tree night lotion, pore perfecting serum, shampoo and conditioner, and body milk.

Both of these smell really good!

These I use for my coloured hair. They are pretty decent, but well, I have only tried them once. I’ll give it some time before I could really judge their performance =p

This mascara is by far MY FAVOURITE MASCARA. I don’t really enjoy putting mascara on because they give me some sort of a headache. Before I purchased this, I was using an ELF mascara… it wasn’t really that good but it does its job so I was fine with it. I have tried a Hello Kitty mascara before, but I didn’t find it impressive. That might be because I was a make-up super noob when I used that mascara so I think I should give that one a try again if I get the chance to. Anyway, THIS mascara is really awesome! ~SUPERIOR~! Okay, I might be exaggerating a little =p I like how it gives my lashes more length and if you use it properly, you get this inky lashes look. This mascara is called Big and Curvy mascara. There’s also a water proof one if you like.

I also got a red lipstick. Yay!

The reason why I got these things from The Body Shop is ’cause they have really nice promos this Christmas season. But yeah, the normal prices of their products aren’t that pricey anyway so buying on ANY season is good, too! Yipee!

I’m having exams soon so it’s gonna be a really busy week for me… well, kind of. I’ve been writing close-to-personal blog posts lately so I had to make a ~holy holiday haul~ post with pictures ;D

I’m going to be posting moooooooore pictures soon. Just cause I want to take pictures again.

Also, I’m quitting pork. Forevs (I hope).

… and before I go, I got tagged by Phyllz. Woot, woot! Just some Q&A:

How does a song affect your mood or your emotions?
- Sometimes, when a song is really, really well arranged, it can change my mood. If it’s a slow ballad song, I get kind of nostalgic and down or maybe even lovey-dovey. If it’s loud, I get really energetic, etc etc.

Where is the farthest place you’ve gone from where you’re standing now? (a neighboring city maybe)
- Err… Philippines? =p

What’s your favorite color and why?
- My answer to this question keeps changing! I liiiiikeee…. coral. It’s like the colour of falling in love (lol, not gonna explain that).

What’s the perfect weather for you?
- Sunny that you would have to wear sunglasses, but a little bit cold that you would have to wear a cardigan.

What’s the fanciest restaurant you’ve been to?
- I’m not sure about this! Depends on what you mean by fancy, I guess! I usually go to Asian restaurants, but when I hear “fancy” I think wine, classy music, etc, so I don’t know! XD

What’s your fave streetfood?
- UP Los Banos PROVEN. THAT you got to try!

Have you ever performed or had a speech in front of a large crowd? How did it go?
- Yes, many times. I used to participate in elocution contests when I was young, and also, I SING! As far as I know, I’ve never messed up so I think all of them went pretty well.

What was the weirdest/funniest/worst gift you’ve ever received?
- Weirdest gift: chalk holder (for a SINGLE chalk). Funniest gift: white underwear with my name stitched on it (Hi, Genissa). Worst gift: glass (?) rose (?) worth P5.

What are you craving right now?
- Don’t you ever ask me this! XD Haha, I don’t want to think about food!

How would you describe your style?
- Style… like fashion style? I would describe my style as, um… random. Sometimes I dress really girly, sometimes I’m a hippie, sometimes I look professional, sometimes I look really simple, etc. Same with my make-up style.

Who was the last person that made you smile?
- My mom. She said she knows someone who knows Koreans who want to practice English. This means I can practice my Korean skeeeelz.

3 Current Fave Skincare Products

I’m actually happy that this blog is no longer overupdated. PROOF THAT I HAVE A LIFE, Y’ALL~! There’s nothing really special about my life right now, so… let’s forget about my life and talk about

MY CURRENT FAVOURITE SKIN PRODUCTS!

Right now, I only have three favourites:

1.) Lancome Micellar Cleansing Water

I saw this from one of Michelle Phan’s videos, the Layering Skin Care tutorial video. I thought I needed a good make-up remover since my cleanser does not help me completely remove my make-up. I got mine at Sephora for around $45 (with tax?), if I remember correctly. I think it works really well! I just saturate a cotton pad and wipe my whole face. I usually use up to three cotton pads because I find it hard removing eye make-up. I use this on my neck, too. This cleansing water is VERY refreshing, and I must tell you that I looooove how my skin looks and feels like whenever I apply this on my face. Also, you do not need to cleanse or wipe once you’ve applied this on your face. Love it.

2.) Laneige Water Bank essence

I use this hydrating essence to keep my face moisturized from morning ’til evening! I got this for ~$40 (K, fine, $39!) last week from a Laneige stall at the Richmond Summer Night Market (If you plan to go there, just go look for the washroom. It’s around that area lolol). So yes, I’ve only been using this for a week, but my face! My face! My face feels soooo hydrated like crazy. The bottle looks really nice, too, imo. It looks like it’s a bottle of cyborg…saliva… (…..?) Ignore that.

3.) Missha Soft Finish Sun Milk

Perfect for summer, don’t you think!? I bought mine on ebay for… ah, I forgot how much. Just go search it up (can’t you see I’m getting lazy? XD). Just make sure you get an authentic product. Those ebay semi-bastards…

Anyway, I love this one because my face feels really soft when I apply this sun milk all over my face. It doesn’t smell either. I purchased a small bottle of this because when I got a sample of it 2 months ago, I instantly loved it <3 You all need to protect your skin from the suuuuun sun sun~ Try this if you want :D

That’s it! I’m still trying to learn make-up and skin care stuff. These days, I’m like a crazy skin product lady. I apply 8 products on my face every single night. 9, if you count lip balm (and 10 during the days I need to wear a mask). It pays off though, my skin feels really smooth these days. But! It’s still not flawless ;( I need to get rid of/diminish the blackheads on my nose, dark spots (small scars), and dark circles. Sigh D:

By the way, I still haven’t watched the *sob*… LAST HARRY POTTER FILM. I started a HP marathon today. Omg. I have to wait ’til Tuesday T_T

Have fun, y’all!
