September Sephora Mini Haul!

Eyeko Skinny Brush Mascara [RM59.00]
Benefit Cosmetics the POREfessional (Travel Size) [RM40.00]
Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray (Travel Size) [RM49.00]

All items purchased with 10% discount all thanks to Sephora - Hallelujah!

The primer is okay-ish. I bought the sample size to see whether does it really worth all the raves on the blogosphere. It does make my skin smoother. But I prefer my Etude House Sunprise Cotton Touch Powder Cream that acts as a sunscreen and a primer. (But it is sadly discontinued. Why?!)

Eyeko mascara on the other hand, manages to make my lashes look long and gorgeous. However the formula is very very wet and it often clumps up my lashes. Boo. Mascara is always a hit or miss for me. Oh well, the search vontinues.

And also, the makeup setting spray - Definitely a HG! As you would have known I am not a big fan of foundation so I usually only put on sunscreen and blushes to work and my blushes would fade like just after a few hours.
This setting spray, my life saviour not only helps set and makes my makeup last the whole day, it also somehow make my skin looks fresh and dewy as if my skin glows in a natural way. I definitely recommend this!
One thing I don't like about this product is the nozzle. The nozzle is not like the usual hair spray kind of nozzle probably because this is in travel size. So I would suggest buying the actual size unless you need one for travel.

Au revoir! Till we meet again.

It has been a rough week for me. Mentally and physically.

First off, I caught a cold on Sunday night which eventually progressed into a flu. Me. She who never gets sick. Now let's hope the fever won't kick in.

Secondly, someone very dear to me at work resigned. And her departure breaks me.
How should I categorise her? She is my superior at work, a friend after 5, and most importantly a mentor to me. Funny how we only know each other for 3 months but I feel like I've known her forever. She's that kind of person that makes one feel really comfortable around her. I feel safe around her. Like even if the sky is falling she'd figure something out and we'll survive anyway. Sounds like I'm exaggerating but it is exactly how I feel around her. I guess she's sort of like a big sister to me too.
We're standing on different continent right now - Literally. Perhaps this is what breaks me. That we might not see each other again. Monday was her last day at work. The day that came too soon and the moment I dreaded so much since I learnt her departure. Can you imagine how hard to hold back tears? Needless to say, I failed. I had to refrain myself from sobbing like a maniac the whole time, not until I caged myself in my car. I had a good cry on the way home from work, as if I have just broken up with a lover. I know, I sound crazy. All motorists that passed by me must have thought I'm crazy too. But I can't help it.
I hate goodbyes. I'm horrible at goodbyes - I simply do not know how to deal with them.
Work just feels so different now. I feel so lost without her. She was our anchor, our beacon and guidance; even co-workers from other department depended on her. But I guess I'll just have to suck it up and deal with it.

But I wish her well - She'll shine and excel anyway. Because she's awesome like that.

You know, you spend your whole life feeling like you don’t quite fit in anywhere. And then you walk into a room one day, whether it’s at university or an office or some kind of club, and you just go, ‘Ah. There they are.’ And suddenly you feel at home.

You Were My First Love

Forever in my mind, only you.

Not so awesome dream

I usually have wonderful dreams like hanging out with my dream crushes Tom Hiddleston, TOP (from the Korean boy band Bigbang, not TOP the laundry soap powder), Johnny Depp and even Lady Gaga. I don't really have batshit scary and crazy dream (except one that was kinda like Corpse Party parody wtf) but few days ago I had the most bizarre dream ever.

I was with my friends as usual and there was someone new whom we just met; she joined our big gang and we ended up hung out for quite some times. But she (or he, not sure... Everything were fuzzy when I woke up) turned out to be a spy for an alien species. She betrayed us and sold us out to the aliens and in the end we became slaves of the aliens as they dominated the world wtf. And I was forced to work with the aliens as some kind of police officer.

So one day one of my BFFs Tami and my coursemates had a mini truck where they'd load some goods from time to time and had shipment to the city. The truck was parked at an illegal spot and they didn't even have a business license for what they were doing. My alien superior wanted me to write them a fine and had them arrested but I defended them and said, no they're my friends! You can't do that!

The alien said, it's either you or them. I stunned. I didn't know what to do. Tami was begging me, and the alien superior scowled at me as if he ( or is it it?) was daring me to not take any action at all. And the words kept repeating in my mind, it's either you or them, you or them, you or them... And in the end I wrote the fine wtf. (Heartless tsk tsk.) I got up my superior's car and I looked at the side mirror while Tami yelled and cried on the very spot wtf so dramatic. And I woke up.

So there's that. The conclusion is, I'm a heartless asshole. The aliens are assholes too.
