Of Hitting Pan


Okay, these are the makeup products that I've hit pan on:

1. Stila Color Convertible in Magnolia
I just love this cream blusher. I got this in the Stila Glow and Behold Gift Set that I purchased around Christmas last year. When I first got it, I did't think that the colour was all that exciting but I was pleasantly surprised when I tried it on my cheeks. It gives my cheeks a natural flush. I wear this to work everyday.

2. NYX Stay Matte Not Flat Powder Foundation
This was purchased around this time last year. I use this as my setting powder. It's an okay product, nothing brilliant.

I'm looking forward to finishing this product so that I can move on to other products.

3. Catrice All Round Concealer Palette
This was purchased early this year and as you can see, I have only used the middle three colors.

I like that this product is not so thick as I find thick concealers tend to look cakey on my under eye area. In fact, all three of the colors that I use are creamy and easy to blend.

I use the salmon color to hide my dark under eye circles and then apply the darkest skin tone shade on top of it. I then use the lighter skin tone color as a highlight in my inner eyes to give me the bright eyed and awake look. This is another one of the staple products that I wear to work everyday.

I may have hit pan on these products but I bet that I still have at least another three months to go on the Catrice All Round Concealer Palette and at least another six months to go (if not more) on the Stila Color Convertible and NYX Powder Foundation.

Glutton

Fat people spend a lot of time talking about food. What a waste of mental energy.

The Female Brain

On being sour grapes after being told that she would be a tutor to another colleague who gets to play the role of lecturer:

"...but the students don't like her." --- Do you have to make such remarks about your colleague in order to feel better about yourself? Are you indirectly saying that the students like you better? What a sad person you are. Since when did being liked equate to being effective as an instructor?

The female brain places waaayyy too much importance on being liked.

Lies People Choose to Tell Themselves

Why do people tell lies? Has it got to do with self perception or are they just delusional?

Talking about losing weight to be healthy is one thing; you can make plans to cut down on your food intake and exercise and talk about it till the cows come home but you've got to carry out the plans if you want to see any sort of change.

Nobody is suggesting that you loose weight. If being clinically obese is your thing, fine, each to their own. I guess, you don't love yourself enough. You choose to continue to take chances on your health. Well, carry on doing what you're doing. Just DON'T keep asking me what I think.

I'm tired of listening to you talk. Please don't waste my time.

Empties July 2015


These are the  product empties for July 2015:

1. FA Deodorant Purple Passion
I purchased this in a pack of three on one of my trips to Dubai. It keeps me smelling divine :)

2. Benefit Maybe Baby Body Lotion 200 ml
This is the second tube which was purchased on ebay years ago and which I rediscovered in my closet recently. I really love this product and am so sad that it's been discontinued :(

3. Simple Clear Skin Oil Balancing Moisturiser
I used this as a makeup remover.

4. The Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture Cream 15 ml
This is another product that I discovered sitting in my closet. This was a freebie that came with the purchase of other products from the Body Shop. This is another product that I used as a makeup remover as I don't use moisturisers and I hate to see a product go to waste.

5. Daiso Silk Facial Oil Blotter
This is one product that I keep repurchasing over and over again.
