Before you judge me mercilessly, let me explain that I've been trying to save, really, but the recent events has left me speechless and moody, I felt I have the right to do this to lighten myself up. Just a little....
So, after my work trip to delivery dozen bottle of wine to a very nice looking company at Park View Square, I've decided to drop by Bugis for Lunch with my cousin, and a little bit of unexpected shopping. Which not only didn't really lighten up my mood that much, but made me feel I've spent too much... Indeed.... It was half impulse buying, half needing them. Been wanting to get them all these while but every part of my body keep telling be to save. It exploded today...
So.... Please welcome the new members to my cosmetic family under the Bourjois Series.
Concealer
Liquid Foundation
Loose Powder
Glitter Eye Shadow
The woman at the counter was kind of old but nice, not the usual old and forceful type. She choses the right color tone which matches my skin color very quickly. And I got a question to ask here....
When I was looking at the liquid foundation... She asked if I have applied foundation. I said yes, i used my loreal compact power all the while as foundation. She was shocked, as in shock "why did you use a compact powder as a foundation" kind of shock. I was thinking.. don't everyone do that? I mean other then those who use the liquid one... Initially I was thinking of buying the liquid one already... but having someone being shocked like that made me want to buy it all the more. I mean, I have to say that using compact powder as foundation doesn't last at all, that is why I was looking at the liquid one in the first place, but is it really THAT bad? No one does that? And yeah in the end, after I go home and try the liquid one out.. it does stay... and my face don't look shiny that fast... then again, I am at home.. but I remembered how my compact powder lose it's effect 10 minutes after I applied it even when I am still at home, other then the halloween night when I 'cake' my face up. So... my question is... is compact powder not supposed to be used as a foundation all these while? I didn't know... No one told me... or is it just because the person is trying to sell...
I have never ever use loose powder before, all my life... other then when my mum was still around and I play with hers for fun, but I think that was talcum. Anyway, I realize loose powder feels much better then compact powder... Am I imagining things after I spent so much?
Concealer was definitely good.
Eye shadow.... hhmmm I got 3 black eye shadow of different shade... -_-" then again, I think I got the rest of the color already, just that I hardly use... pink purple green brown blue silver beige white gray pearl. I don't think yellow eye shadows would look nice anyway so I didn't buy. I got to stop buying make up... and shoes... and bags... I was nearly tempted to buy a lady sling bag today, but I couldn't decide between the $80 and the $110 one. I didn't buy after a while because I know I had to save, but I was defeated at the cosmetic counter. Ended up spending $10 more then what I didn't want to spend at first. I deserve a punch...
Then again, I do look neater with all these new things... less shaggy looking... Cleaner too.
I've decided to save on my future meals though... for quite a while... until I know I definitely saved enough to cover my cosmetics... Ya Kun instead of Kopitiam... save $3 a meal for 40 meals... and bring my own water bottle so I don't have to buy drinks from the oh so expensive Jap Convenient Store. Their resealable can of chilled Ice Latte is $3.70 which only last me about 5 gulps. Super expensive... I was kind of hooked to it after 2 cans... I don't usually drink coffee if you noticed. Oh my...
Good thing is
I smoke about one or two sticks a day now... about 4-6 times lesser then wad I use to
Bad thing is
I think my addiction went to Coffee... Kind of more expensive...
