Old Me?Hey guys, happy new year!<div><br /><div>2020 is finally behind us - It had been an utter shit show, I'm sure everyone can agree on that.</div><div><br /></div><div>Now that we're stepping into a new year, I've been thinking about new year's resolutions.</div><div>Yes, you heard me right. New year's resolution.</div><div><br /></div><div>I wasn't a big believer in new year's resolution (probably still not), as I believe one should take action immediately to do whatever one wants without having to wait for the 'right time'.</div><div><br /></div><div>But for the past couple of weeks, I've been contemplating about what changes I need to implement to make my life better, for my own sake.</div><div><br /></div><div>Since we are now venturing into a brand new year, <i>new year's resolution eh?</i> I thought.</div><div>Why not? Might as well.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Here goes - My new year's resolution on the year I turn three-O.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b>#1 Be active... Again.</b></div><div><br /></div><div>I was an avid Zumba and STRONG by Zumba attendee back in 2019, but 2020 came and shit hit the fan. Instead of going to the gym for at least 3 Zumba sessions like I did in 2019, I sadly... did nothing in 2020. </div><div><br /></div><div>Although a weekly badminton session is still in the itinerary, but to be honest, it doesn't really contribute much given to the amount of rest time I have between sets (we have more than 10 players sharing a court, you can do the math yourself).</div><div><br /></div><div>Back in March/April when the entire Malaysia was under lockdown, I picked up Chloe Ting's 2-week challenge. I felt a sense of achievement upon completing her hardcore 2-week programme, but after that I took a long rest - a very very long rest. Perhaps, too long 'cos I haven't done anything afterward.</div><div><br /></div><div>What can I say? Life and work caught up and I didn't have time (more on time in point #2).</div><div><i>Ehem, excuses excuses.</i></div><div><br /></div><div>So, 2021 - More exercises.</div><div>So not looking forward to working out, but it has to be done!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b>#2 Cultivate a healthy and consistent sleep schedule</b></div><div><br /></div><div>Other than workouts, I am ashamed to admit that I have a very shitty sleep routine. It gets worse as I grow older. I sleep around 1-2am and wake up around 7-8am.</div><div><br /></div><div>This is all because of <a href="https://www.bbc.com/worklife/article/20201123-the-psychology-behind-revenge-bedtime-procrastination" target="_blank">'revenge bedtime procrastination'</a> - I feel like I have lesser me-time if I go to bed early, since I reach home (from work) late. And so the more I sleep late, the more I wake up late, causing myself to have shorter personal time at night.</div><div><br /></div><div>As you can probably imagine, this becomes an endless poor cycle of balancing sleep and leisure time.</div><div><br /></div><div>2021 - Develop a healthy sleep routine.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b>#3 Eat healthy and develop good postures</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div>I've always been a sloucher - I've been slouching for years.</div><div>Since I'm reaching the big three-O this year, I've got to seriously look into correcting my postures as any bad position can really set off a long period of back and shoulder pains.</div><div><br /></div><div>I've also decided to eat healthy - Even though to be fair, I've always been sort of a healthy eater as I don't enjoy junk food and fast food.</div><div><br /></div><div>But years of being a pushover (friends would ask me to finish food we couldn't finish and I have trouble saying no - more on that in the next resolution) and the deep-rooted <i>do-not-waste-even-a-grain-of-rice </i>Chinese education engraved in my brain by my mother throughout the years have turned me into someone who is capable to eat big portions.</div><div><br /></div><div>Needless to say - It's time to control my portion. Not striking for FULL, but <i>just enough.</i> </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>#4 Be assertive.</b></div><div><br /></div><div>I've always been a timid mouse - A shocking fact to lots of people perhaps, because I may have given off the vibes of an extrovert (I'm really not). But the truth is, deep down I'm a pushover.</div><div><br /></div><div>I'm afraid that people might think that I am 'troublesome', 'hard to get along' or 'cold', so I agree to things or plans I do not really enjoy. Not only that, I also have troubles saying no to people.</div><div><br /></div><div>I try to be 'easygoing', but along the way, perhaps I have lost my voice.</div><div><br /></div><div>There's a fine line between being assertive and being an asshole though.</div><div>Let's hope I am able to find a balance between these twos.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>That is it! 4 minor and achievable new year's resolutions that I hope can become a constant in my life starting this year.</div><div><br /></div><div>Wish me luck? Let's hope I will not forget everything I've written today next week!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><img alt="post signature" class="left" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitOKy9_nDG8DlR9vDnZu6-3RtqGf1_Mz3y2BVg46p9bZr3Wo5eL0_Pa8nIjkNjnaJ2CpmHz977Okyc9o0PbiAeeXDCve707p4Uzwfe9EV7uZ1d5rqbOPbG8vZ4083XrXs3pj92U4D8wcQ/w188-h139-no/http---signatures.mylivesignature.com-54492-87-AC73DF5B795EF932E5F16DAFA8D9DB1A.png" /></div></div>Jessie C.http://www.blogger.com/profile/01254853387973184533noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4479345575598208671.post-89910134321237967412020-11-30T23:26:00.007+08:002020-11-30T23:29:09.037+08:00It’s Pumpkin Spice Season!<div style="text-align: left;"><font face="Times">...

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">How are you? It has been awhile.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm doing fine. Just taking one step at a time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">And hey, look how far we've come.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Life's okay. I traveled bunch of times, been here and there.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">My job gives me purpose. I have fewer friends now, but I'm glad they're still around.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I feel like I've changed, throughout the years.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">More cynical, more exasperate, more indifferent.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Perhaps I've turned into Squidward, like most adults do.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Perhaps this is just a rite of passage?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">By the way.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Have you noticed?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The world's on fire. We haven't even been through a quarter of 2020, but it definitely feels like half a year has passed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">But hey,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Let's hang in there. We'll be okay.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Had a dream that I was back in high school talking to one of my dear friends during recess.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">In the middle of the conversation, her twin sat down beside her and joined us.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Wait what? I didn't know she had a twin. She never told us, and I never see her at school! I was so confused when her twin sister showed up.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">(FYI - she doesn't have a twin in real life.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">"Who the fuck are you..." I thought to myself. But of course I didn't say that out loud. I have manners after all, even in my dream.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I looked at her, squinting my eyes. "I don't think it's polite to stare," my conscious nagged.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i0.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/facebook/000/004/592/misc-jackie-chan-l.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" src="http://i0.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/facebook/000/004/592/misc-jackie-chan-l.jpg" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="800" height="111" width="200" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">They looked identical, with the same beauty mark, big doe eyes, and a hair cut so short the hair merely reached just half an inch below the ears. But somehow I was able to differentiate them. And I didn't like her. She was too foreign to me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">"Is she... the <i>evil</i> twin?" I thought.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">"Stop being <i>dramatic</i>, they're sisters!" My dream conscious chided.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">"... Fine. I still don't like her." I continued staring at her.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">And then I woke up, confused for a few seconds, then chucking to myself once the dream sank in.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The dream is ridiculous, as she had looked exactly the same as she did 10 years ago in my dream. I'm pretty sure she has long hair now, always wearing her signature winged-liners and definitely no twin sister, especially given that I've just seen her last month.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">God. I guess I miss high school? That'd probably explain the bizarre dream.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Love ya Piper, I hope you don't have a twin stashed in a corner somewhere. x</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm sure you heard of Sleek Makeup. If you don't, I strongly recommend you to try out their eyeshadow palette. The quality is phenomenal for its affordable and reasonable pricing; Good colour payoff, and the texture is buttery and not chalky at all. The eyeshadows are also long lasting (on my dry lids, at least) even without a primer. No to mention that the packaging is <i>sleek</i> and travel friendly.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I really love all the warm neutral shades (surprise surprise!) such as Meet in Madrid, Court in Cannes, and Propose in Prague as well as 3 of the gorgeous purples in the bottom left corner. This palette is versatile and you can simply create literally any look with it. The only con I can think of is perhaps that eyeshadow fallout is prone to happen so I'd suggest putting foundation only after you're done with your eye makeup.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">This is the first product from Sleek I own and I am impressed! I will definitely try out the other palettes. More are on the way...</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I can finally say this -- I did it! I got out of school!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Well technically, I finished school last July, as I spent my last semester in the internship programme.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The convocation was supposed to be <i>just</i> a ceremony -- I left school half a year ago, I already bid my goodbye before I left for my hometown, it was <i>just </i>a ceremony, I shouldn't be able to feel a thing... But it is <i>not</i> just a ceremony.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">It is a turning point, it is an official farewell, it is everything.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The fact that I won't be seeing all those familiar faces everyday anymore still saddens me, especially people that know me better than I know myself, as well as friends that I've grown close to.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">We've been though so much together, sometimes we see each other more than 12 hours a day. They've become my second family, and a staple of my life.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Of course we're still friends, and I know they will always be there for me as I will for them. But deep down we know something yet we refuse to say it out loud: Everything's changed, and it will never be the same anymore.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">That devastated me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">None of us wanted to acknowledge that. But in the end, on the night we gathered after the ceremony, we hugged and we cried before saying goodbye to each other. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Someday in the future, when I thought of this day, I'd remember me standing on the stage, marching toward the chancellor; my classmate/partner/friend, presenting her valedictorian speech and how proud I was of her; flowers, cameras...... And most importantly, all those familiar faces that I grew very fond of, and how much our friendships meant to me.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Rose gold is my Kryptonite.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">But the price of Urban Decay Naked 3 is too steep, I just couldn't bring myself to purchase it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Thank God Makeup Revolution came up with the <a href="http://www.makeuprevolution.my/?product=makeup-revolution-redemption-palette-iconic-3-2">Iconic 3 palette</a>, which is said to be the exact same dupe of Naked 3.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I can't really comment on the dupe since I do not own Naked 3, but judging from the swatches on other beauty blogs, I gotta admit - they're really really similar.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I am really impressed by the quality of the shadows. The pigmentation is really good -- even the matte shades! Matte eyeshadows that you can find in the drugstores always turn out powdery and chalky but this palette is definitely an exception.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Plus, the texture is so buttery and beyond amazing, even though there can be a slight fallout especially for the shimmer shades. The eyeshadows last a long time on my lids too, but if you're worried about the longevity, it can simply be solved with a good eye shadow primer. (My recommendation - UDPP or Etude House Proof 10 Eye Primer.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">This palette merely costs RM32, which is obviously so much more affordable than Naked 3. I definitely recommend this baby to anyone who is considering a rose gold to neutral eye shadow palette but is under a tight budget.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Am I the last one to board the Tarte blusher choo choo train? Seems like it, yikes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Let's start off with Blissful, which looks a little bit like Nars Orgasm -- sans the glitters of course. It has a rosey-pink tone and it looks amazing - a very natural, pinkish glow.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">But what really impressed me is Exposed, which has been a cult favourite since like forever, yet I only managed to lay my hands on it recently.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">And fortunately it does live up to the hype! I was initially worried and even sceptical -- 'cuz let's be honest here, first off, the colour shown on the pan is <i>meh</i>. Plus the pigmentation doesn't look that great on swatches, and what if the nude-beige tone won't show up on my medium skin tone?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">But surprisingly, it somewhat looks flattering on my cheeks; I have never come across a blusher that looks so natural. It gives a sun-kissed, healthy glow and what everyone said about Exposed are true -- It goes along with every kind of makeup. Ever since I purchased it, Exposed has been my absolute favourite and I always throw it off on my cheeks even on work days. It is indeed a subtle, not-over-the-top, no-makeup-makeup blusher.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">One thing about Tarte Amazonian Clay blushers is that it shows up crappy on swatches; it's not buttery, it's not pigmented, it's not even powdery -- it's mediocre. And flat.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">You'd probably look at the swatches and wonder to yourself, will the pigmentation even show up on my skin with this kind of crappy texture? But let me tell you, <b>a little goes a long way</b>. Don't make a mistake that I did -- I underestimated the pigmentation and I ended up having clown cheeks. I have definitely learnt my lesson. So trust me people, the colour will definitely show up on your cheeks even with a light swirl on the pan, no worries. Light handed is the key!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Oh, I forgot to mention... I kind of impulse-purchased another Tarte blusher in a recent Zalora haul as well. Hee. But until next time! x</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Check out part 1 here.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Yes. I am obsessed with Youtube. I spent most of my times on Youtube. I watch all kind of stuff, from beauty related videos to gaming videos to late night shows. I have a problem, I know. Anyway, let's get started.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">1. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCT-_4GqC-yLY1xtTHhwY0hA">Pony</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I. ADORE. Her.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">For those who have no idea who she is, Pony is a Korean MUA and she has a beauty segment on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/insiteTV1/featured">InsiteTV</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ0f_g2mQlLfa9N8ETZKkuU1iqxnIHfJM">Pony's Beauty Diary</a> where she has tons of beauty tips and tutorials.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Despite that, she has recently created her own channel and she stated that she will start doing product reviews and more tutorials that her fans demand. Eeeek! *happy squeaks*</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">So guys, if you're a fan of Pony, make sure you subscribe to her new channel!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/I4bBUb_kjBc" width="853"></iframe><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/X6qal2Cfq2g?list=PLQ0f_g2mQlLfa9N8ETZKkuU1iqxnIHfJM" width="853"></iframe><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">She also recently did a collaboration with Memebox to create <a href="https://us.memebox.com/memebox-pony">her own eye shadow palettes and quads</a>. I would seriously purchase them if they provide shipment to Malaysia.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">2. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCh1ZLwaFzcs1I23cxyG9quA">easyNeon</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Diana is born and raised in Moldova. When I first watched her video, I thought she was a MUA because her blending technique is insane and her winged eyeliners are ON POINT, 24/7. I also love how she films and edits her video - Her soundtracks are amazing (and more to my taste). Another fact that I love about her is that she doesn't put tons of makeups on her face like how the other Youtube beauty "gurus" are doing - Intense contour and highlight, full coverage of foundation and concealers - Nope, that's not Diana do her thang. She understands less is more and I appreciate that.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">How can someone be so elegant, classy and timeless?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">It's not about the way she looks but rather how she carries hserself.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">To put words into simpler terms, I'm in love with her.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">3. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/BEAUTYQQ/videos">BEAUTYQQ</a> // <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/MsQueenieChan/videos">Queenie Chan</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Queenie Chan is a Hong Kongese. She used to work for TVB and she just got back to the airline industry (her portfolio is very long). She is quirky and humorous and she does makeup tutorials occasionally, but most of the time she acts as a life coach (well at least to me), and that is why I enjoy her videos so much. I always feel better after watching her videos. And again, we share the same taste in music (a bonus!).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Something she said that I will always remember,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-wrap;">"其实快乐真係好简单 唔好成日抱怨上天对你唔公平 路係自己行嘅 唔去努力 只想不劳而获 呢d 係傻仔傻妹先至会讲嘅说话 对于梦想 我们要一不做二不休 用心做到最好 咁样就一定会成功的了."</span></blockquote>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I've never met someone who love, appreciate and enjoy life as much as she does.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">She is my spiritual guidance and I look up to her alot.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">4. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzTKskwIc_-a0cGvCXA848Q">NikkieTutorials</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I have no idea why have I not discovered her earlier. She is a dutch hair and makeup artist (like, a legit and professional one, click <a href="http://www.nikkietutorials.com/site/home-2/">here</a> to learn more about her) and she has <a href="http://www.nikkietutorials.com/site/portfolio/">a very impressive portfolio</a> but wait, she's only 22! How is that even possible? Young and successful, that is definitely Nikkie.

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">She has amazing skills, nuff said. Besides, she is genuine and honest and her bubbly personality always makes me laugh. I admire her alot.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">She deserves more subscribers imo, definitely underrated. I recently stumbled upon her channel while searching for a product review and boy am I not disappointed. I can always count on her before purchasing something as Leslie gives the most honest, on point and descriptive review (and/or comparisons) ever.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">You know what? I blame Sephora. They keep shoving us 10% discount vouchers, I feel guilty if I didn't get the chance to use them. So one day I walked into Sephora with a shopping list and a heart full of determination, only to find out that most NYX butter glosses and matte lip creams I wanted were out of stock. What? No!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Well the good news is, Sephora was having a promotion at that time so I ended up getting 15% discount on all purchased items, yay!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">First up, I picked up <a href="http://www.sephora.com/triple-action-cleansing-water-P297132">Triple Action Cleansing Water from the Sephora Collection</a> as my friend recommended it to me. I also want to compare it to my HG <a href="http://halffinishedpuzzle.blogspot.com/2014/09/my-evening-cleansing-routine.html">Bioderma Sensible H2O Micelle Solution </a>as they are actually quite similar except for the price tag. Come on - let's face it, Bioderma is extremely expensive.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I also got a lip product from the Sephora Collection which is their <a href="http://www.sephora.com/cream-lip-stain-P281411?skuId=1646892">Cream Lip Stain in 04 Endless Purple</a>. It is a wine burgundy red lip cream (sort of like a liquid lipstick) that gives a matte finish and it looks so pretty on my Youtube crush Diana (Easyneon). She used this in <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jIChWdjKcI">one of her tutorials</a> and I know immediately that I had to have this.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Another lippie I picked up is the <a href="http://www.nyxcosmetics.com/p-191-butter-gloss.aspx">NYX Butter Gloss in Apple Strudel (BLG08)</a> and I am really loving it so far! It has a lovely peachy-pink tone and it just looks so natural on me. It has definitely become my new favourite MLBB, I'll tell ya that.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Next up, I got my HG <a href="http://www.sephora.com/all-nighter-long-lasting-makeup-setting-spray-P263504">Urban Decay All Nighter Long-Lasting Setting Spray</a> as I've used up my travel size one which I got from <a href="http://halffinishedpuzzle.blogspot.com/2014/10/september-sephora-mini-haul.html">the previous haul</a>. This setting spray - I kid you not - is the bomb. It not only makes my makeup last whole day but also somehow reduce the cakiness and powdery looking feeling. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoW__PFiOGDZI5RE7VpxcdIt7dON1uAzs5B0jBOeNO6gAuNWDJQnwUkG66vQUa_KtbP6a_s_Df1IsiF_TCG04Cg1IIfvjo6v-cljkKsl2gQP1VOBmO8k60CGgWQo21hOuLQiU69m2EDsA/s1600/IMG_1231.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoW__PFiOGDZI5RE7VpxcdIt7dON1uAzs5B0jBOeNO6gAuNWDJQnwUkG66vQUa_KtbP6a_s_Df1IsiF_TCG04Cg1IIfvjo6v-cljkKsl2gQP1VOBmO8k60CGgWQo21hOuLQiU69m2EDsA/s1600/IMG_1231.JPG" height="426" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I also picked up a sample size <a href="http://www.sephora.com/pure-maracuja-oil-P376726">Tarte Maracuja Oil</a> while queueing for payment at the counter. That row of mini/travel size products which is strategically located ithere... It always sucks me in like a black hole 'cuz I want to impulse-buy all of them! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Anyway, this bottle of wonderfulness comes in 0.5 fl oz while the normal size contains 1.7 fl oz. I have heard so much about this so when I saw this standing beside the aisle with a RM50 price tag, I snatched it immediately. Maracuja oil is actally extracted from passion fruit and it contains a large amount of essential fatty acids and vitamins that will help to recharge and replenish our skin, well, at least according to Tarte.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Every night I put 2 drops of this maracuja oil onto my palms and gently rub them against each other. I then massage them into my cheeks which become rather dry due to the rough weather at Taiwan. So far it doesn't break me out, it absorbs well and it really moisturises my skin. I highly recommend this to anyone with dry skin!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Lastly I picked up two <a href="http://www.sephora.com/amazonian-clay-12-hour-blush-P278610">Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush</a> in Exposed and Blissful. Call me crazy but this is actually my first step in starting my Tarte blushes collection, hee. Well I couldn't resist, they're so pretty and good quality that I am actually thinking of getting either Natural Beauty or Babydoll next. (...Or maybe both?)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Freebies time! Sephora kindly gave me the samples of <a href="http://www.sephora.com/soy-conditioning-eye-makeup-remover-P384779">Fresh Soy Concentrating Eye Makeup Remover</a>, <a href="http://www.sephora.com/rose-hydrating-eye-gel-cream-P386741">Fresh Rose Hydrating Eye Gel Cream</a>, <a href="http://www.sephora.com/makeup-breakup-cool-cleansing-oil-P254604">Boscia Makeup-Breakup Cool Cleansing Oil</a>, <a href="http://www.sephora.com/age-defy-night-moisture-cream-P297131">Total Age Defy Cream</a> from their house brand..... and a 3-step sample kit from Biotherm Homme.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I mean, I learnt from <a href="https://www.google.com.my/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CBwQtwIwAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D3JDmb_f3E2c&ei=arX8VPDiCdGQuASCw4KYBQ&usg=AFQjCNEk5kjkETLL2lA5UsbBBJmjsOLVWQ&sig2=WHXcJsobKNDxXirCpqoGYQ&bvm=bv.87611401,d.c2E">a video</a> that the whole skincare for men and women are just a common gendered marketing technique but still, seriously? Come on man. Well that aside, definitely looking forward to trying all the samples out! :D</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I also received a black and white bedroom slippers for being a black card member. I was initially feeling happy from getting freebies until my mom started shouting at me for accepting shoes during Chinese New Year. Yikes. (Shoes are pronounced the same way as 'evil' in Mandarin and as a part of Chinese culture, it is considered bad luck to accept shoes as gifts during the new year.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Sorry mom. But thanks anyway, Sephora. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I first saw this in <a href="http://www.clicknetwork.tv/tried-and-tested-ep65-my-seoul-trip">one of Shu Ann's Tried and Tested episodes where she visited Seoul</a>. I was immediately attracted by the vibrant colours of these curling tools. These travel-friendly mini irons are only as big as my palm and I was very fortunate to be able to track it down at Watson during my trip to Taiwan. And what's more, I paid NT$399 (~RM47) instead of NT</span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">$</span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">499 (~RM58) all thanks to some anniversary event Watson was having at that time. I opted for the Multi Iron which can be used to straighten and curl hair and it comes with a pouch and a cord holder.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I usually apply Lucido-L Designing Aqua Hair Curl Lotion (a heat protectant spray) and Ma Cherie Decoration Keep Spray before and after curling my hair. I only curl the end of my hair as recently I've been loving an airy and simple look over big bouncy curls.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">This is how it looks like after some time even after setting my hair with spray. The curls as you can are not very lasting, I must say.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">If I'm not wrong, Unix can only be found in Korea and Taiwan at the moment. But you can also get it online either through Ebay, Amazon, Taobao or Qoo10.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Is this absolutely necessary? Honestly, no. You can recreate what I did here using a straightener or a curling iron. But like I said, I was sold when I saw how tiny and cute and colourful they are. But if you're a frequent traveller, why not? But heads up, this might not be suitable for people with long and thick hair as the wand is fairly tiny and it might take ages to style.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Don't you find it annoying when your foundation melts under the sun? Innisfree Long Wear Cushion debuted last summer to target this exact problem. With Malaysia being hot and humid, I thought I'd test it out and give it a go.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">After wearing it for a couple months... I dunno. I have mixed feeling towards it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Do I like it? Yes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">1. The coverage is good; it has medium but definitely buildable coverage.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">2. Light-weighted, feels like nothing on my skin. (FYI, I hate the sticky feeling that heavy foundation usually leaves on my face.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">3. It gives a matte finish.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">4. And not to mention that you'd only need roughly 1 to 2 minutes to apply foundation on your entire face.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">But why do I feel slightly <i>eh</i>?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">1. <u>THE SCENT.</u> The foundation gives off a herbal scent. I usually have high tolerability towards scent but this herbal smell is really really unpleasant.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">2. Long wearing? Not quite. It kinds of slide off after 6 to 8 hours so I always have to make sure I apply some powder and a finishing spray to set it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">3. It gradually oxidised so my face always looks kinda dull at the end of the day.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">4. Only 3 shades available. I know this is a common problem within Korean cosmetics but still. Come on man.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">5. Looks cakey and powdery on my dry cheeks.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">You are probably screaming at me after reading #5. "It targets people with oiler skin!" I know I know. But I was sold when it states that it gives a matte finish.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">So if you have dry skin or you are looking for a dewy finish, this is probably not the one for you. (You can opt for Water Glow Cushion instead.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Should you give it a try? Yes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Do I like it? It has its flaws but I really like it and I can work my ways around it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">But is it a Holy Grail foundation for me? Probably not.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Perhaps I should try Water Glow Cushion next time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Ah well. The search continues.</span><br />

Time seemed to slow down when I was taking a stroll in Lavender Cottage - I have never felt so calm and peaceful.<br />
Traces of lavender can be found in my room, particularly a little sack of lavender beside my pillows, and a postcard sent from my lovely friend.<br />
Fond memories that are filled with friends and laughter will be cherished forever.<br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">A few months ago my good friend Kelly was at the UK and I thought I'd take the chance for some guilty purchase. Yup. Soap & Glory. The packagings are simply too hard to resist. I mean, look at them! They're so cute! Anything with vintage theme will always be my soft spot.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm going to start off with my least favourite -- although I was really looking forward to trying this as I heard so many good things about it -- The Solar Powder. It consists of 2 tones - 1 lighter and 1 darker but for me it is generally too light even for my skin tone. It barely shows up on my face! *pouts* It is also not as pigmented as I thought; I needa swatch a few times more until it shows a hint of colour on the back of my hand. Boo. So now I will only reach out for this if I simply want to bronze up my face to prevent looking like a pale-faced zombie, which is good in a way that I won't have to worry going too over the top and risk having cheeks and forehead that look as if I just got punched by Mike Tyson.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Glow All Out on the other hand, does its job well. Albeit the shimmery looks pretty intense upon swatching, it looks fairly natural on my cheekbone and emits a beautiful glow, perhaps due to the peachy tone. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">As for the translucent powder... I love my Rimmel Stay Matte Powder. It's cheap, it does what it says so I'm content. But , unlike One Heck of a Blot, it sometimes cake me up and gives me dry patches if I'm not careful enough during the application (<i>light</i> is the key!) even when I only apply it around my oily T-zone. Also, packaging wise, One Heck of a Blot is much sturdier when compared with Rimmel powder's flimsy lid, so it is more travel friendly as it is stored in a round compact. The puff is of no help as it is just a thin sponge so I usually dust the powder either with my <a href="http://halffinishedpuzzle.blogspot.com/2014/07/short-getaway.html">e.l.f powder brush</a> or a huge kabuki brush I got from the Body Shop. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Good job Soap & Glory (ignoring the bronzer though). And thank you Kelly! <3</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Throughout these few years, I have heard so many good feedbacks about Inglot, especially how buttery and pigmented their eyeshadows are. I've been itching to try them out but I never had the chance to get my hands on them, even though they aren't that hard to get. (Available at Sunway Pyramid, Gurney Plaza, Queensbay Mall... These all are my most frequently visit malls!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Inglot is also famous for their Freedom System in which you can choose shadows that you like to work around with and pop them into a duo or quads or even into a 10 shadows palette. I even saw 20 and 40 shadows palette on some videos and blogs... That's a huge palette with crazy amount of products I tell ya. I also heard that you can even pop blush, powder and even lip products into the palette. Talk about convenience. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Anyway, since I already have Stila In the Light palette which consists of a total of 10 eye shadows (6 mattes and 4 shimmer shadows), I roughly have an idea what particular type of shades I am looking for which can't be found in the palette I already owned.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">For what I know, Inglot's shadows are made in Poland and their line consists of 5 types of shadows which are Matte, Pearl, Double Sparkle (DS), AMC and AMC Shine. Matte, Pearl and DS are self-explanatory but the AMC ones hella confused me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Anyway, after crazy amount of swatching at the counter, in the end I opted for a matte beige to act as a base (#330) and a warm, copper bronze-y colour for my outer V (Pearl #606). And trust me, they are as good as people claimed -- The colours are pigmented (at single swatch, crazy!), the texture so buttery it glides on easily, not to mention how affordable they are! Both shadows cost RM32 (2.7g and 2.3g respectively) and the duo palette is RM26 -- Hello, so much cheaper than Mac! (RM49 for 1.5g of product, what? Not to mention the SA at Mac are mostly obnoxious and arrogant... But this is a common known fact so I'll just leave it here.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Another plus side is the duo palette -- It is sleek and sturdy which I really really like, as I won't need to worry about cracked eye shadows when I put it into my makeup bag and have my suitcase thrown around by the cabin crew during travelling. However it can be quite heavy, perhaps due to the glass but hey, I can bear with that.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Overall, Inglot is so underrated and I really wish more people will try them out as they are really worth it -- They deserve the attention! Now, only if Makeupgeek provide shipping to Malaysia... My life will be complete. </span><br />

<i><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The force is too strong!</span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The temptation is too huge and I couldn't resist!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The shadow pencil was used in one of Pony's tutorial and it looked so good on her so I thought I ought to try it out. (If you don't know who is Pony... Go to Youtube and search her videos right now -- I insist. You can thank me later. You're welcome in advance.) And boy it did not disappoint me at all! The shimmers might be intimidating upon swatching but it fades into a nice nudish-beige tone with minimal amount of shimmers after blending. I now use it as a base by applying it on my entire lid and blend it out with my ring finger before putting on another shadow.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">A gentle warning though -- you gotta blend it fast 'cuz it literally does not budge at all after it settles for only a minute. I'm serious. Like you can't smudge it with your fingers even if you try really hard. Trust me. It's that intense.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I also love love love the mineral shadow. The 09 shade has a burgundy plus copper brown-ish tone and the pigments are absolutely gorgeous. I'm so glad that I picked it up.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I am still trying out the cushion at the moment; perhaps I will blog about it in the future so stay tuned!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<i><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Note: Also, look at the crazy amount of samples given by the staff! All the cleanser samples I received are enough to last me for more than a week. Feels like I'm shopping in Korea all over again.</span></i><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">People often neglect it but sunscreen is the most important product in one's daily skincare routine - I can't stress that enough. It is why I seldom step out of the house without slapping on some sunscreen. Not because I am a vampire, even though I am a nocturnal creature.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Sunprise Cotton Touch Powder Cream is my HG sunscreen. It is cream-based and comes in lilac colour (to balance out yellow undertones), and it gives a powdery finish when it is applied on face. What I love about this product is that it compliments my combination skin type - it doesn't break me out nor makes my T-zone oily unlike other sun protection products. I also used it as a primer before putting on my <a href="http://halffinishedpuzzle.blogspot.com/2014/07/bourjois-healthy-mix-foundation.html">Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation</a>. It also doesn't leave a sticky feeling on my face, which is one of my major pet peeves in terms of sunscreen.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Imagine how I felt when I found out that it was discontinued. (It is still available on Etude House's website but it is somehow not on retail. Why?)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">So in the end I got Sunprise Natural Corrector instead.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">It comes with the same SPF 50+/PA+++ and the prices are almost similar (I believe, don't quote me on that though as I got both of them on discounts).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Sadly, the similarities end here.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Unlike Cotton Touch Powder Cream, Sunprise Natural Corrector is liquid based and comes in a light apricot colour. The watery texture leaves an unnoticeable white cast if blending is not done properly. And due to the fact that it's liquid based, I often have to set my face with powder afterwards to avoid oily T-zone and also because of that sticky feeling that I can't seem to tolerate, urgh. It can also be used as a makeup base even though I normally opt for <a href="http://halffinishedpuzzle.blogspot.com/2014/10/september-sephora-mini-haul.html">Benefit Porefessional</a> for that part instead.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">So is the new one as good as the old one? A million times no.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Please bring back Sunprise Cotton Touch Powder Cream, Etude House, I beg of you.</span><br />

On Deepavali last year, my mates decided that it was a great idea to conquer the Broga Hill. Me, being the least outdoor person, tagged along, thinking 'ah what the hell it's just a hill'. Warning, do not attempt to climb a hill when you're having flu especially when you can't even breathe through your nose.<br />
<br />
The fun part was however, trying to make your way down. Challenging indeed.<br />
<br />
But the outcomes were fruitful. Look at the marvellous view.<br />
Ah, them fluffy clouds.<br />
<br />

Thank you 2014, it has been a blast.<br />
I have the best time of my life, and I have known a bunch of people that love me for who I truly am.<br />
The happy moments will be cherished forever, but it's time for me to leave the bad ones behind - especially the bittersweet pasts that I cannot changed - once and for all.<br />
<br />
This is my new year's resolution, along with eliminating all negative thoughts in exchange of the opposite ones - even though I never believed in these BS, as hipster as it sounds.<br />
<br />
Happy new year my friends, have a great year ahead.<br />

Some wounds never truly heal.<br />
We just simply learn how to live with the pain for the rest of our lives.<br />
