Boots Haul !

What do you do when there's a 3 for 2 promotion going on at Boots ? That's a rhetorical question isn't it ? Haha ! I didn't buy anything too extravagant but these are three little gems I am looking forward to using 

Left to right : 

• Rimmel's Peppermint looks like such a gorgeous pastel mint colour I cannot wait to put on my nails (especially on my toes ! it will look great with my fuchsia heels!). I love this range of nail polish from Rimmel because of the brush. It makes application so much easier ! 
• Revlon Red's lipstick is my first red lipstick. I never thought it would be something that would suit me but you know what it's not too bad ! I think you will never know if it suits you unless you try it on. Which is what I did. And look, I bought it ! It has a great staying power even after drinking and eating it was still on my lips. 
• Models Own Beetle Juice is one of those wowza colours ! It does smell really strong though. Spray paint scent. But I can get over that ! 

TOTAL = 12.43pounds

I love Boots 3 for 2... They should do it more often !

Jemma Kidd Light As Air Foundation

Hi there girlies !

How's everyone doing on this lovely Saturday afternoon !? I'm doing just fine. I was doing my homework and then suddenly thought hey I've not done a review for ages, it's about time I did one on the Jemma Kidd Light As Air Foundation! I've been using this foundation for a good 6 months (I didn't realise I had it for that long!). And even after using it every day for the past 6 months there still is like 1/4 of the product left. Well worth those 28 pounds spent. 

Let's talk packaging. I don't dislike the idea of having liquid foundation in a tube but when the foundation is as liquid-y as this one... not sure it's the best one. As you can see in the pictures above, it gets real dirty with some product going all over the place ! This happens when you travel with it / put it in your make-up bag. If you leave it at home It stays pretty clean...

The product itself is a very light and watery foundation which I like because it doesn't feel like you have a ton of make-up on your skin.If you suffer from acne and you have a lot of blemishes and spots to hide, this is not something for you. This foundation is for someone who has a bit of redness and few imperfections to hide. I've had until recently some bad skin and I just hated this foundation because it didn't do the trick. I've been on Roaccutane for the last 4 weeks therefore my skin has improved a lot. Skin is now baby soft and I don't have all the little imperfections I used to have but I still do have redness. This is what this foundation is good for, hiding redness. If redness is your issue I promise you will love this foundation. It does tend to slide off your face at the end of the day so if that's something that bothers you you might need to invest in a primer as well. 

All in all, this is a good foundation, not an amazing one. After reading all those reviews on the blogosphere I really had high expectations for this product and I have to admit I was really disappointed. But now that my skin has improved i've finally figured out what the foundation is good for : skin with redness. So all you people with problems of redness you might want to run over to your nearest Space.NK that does supply this foundation (I got mine at Harvey Nichols!) and get colour-matched. You'll see how amazing this is. 

By the way, i'm looking for a good tinted moisturiser does anyone know of a good one ? Please leave your recommendations in the comments. It will be much appreciated :) 

Hope you enjoyed x

The Sunday Post #06

Forgive my lack of posting in the past few weeks. I feel like nowadays every single post I write I say sorry. I just really feel guilty for not... posting. I think I've just been lacking inspiration. But this next week I'm going to review Jemma Kidd's Light As Air foundation. Now I know there are a fair amount of these reviews on the blogosphere but I feel like I need to put my opinion out there. Weirdly enough, I don't have the exact same judgement on this product as the other reviews I've read. But i'm going to stop right there and let you read the review when it comes up. 

{With Astrid and Carla posing in our rather classy school toilets and I just realised something nasty is written on the mirror} 

#001 We had our yearbook picture taken this week hence the summer-y outfit in the above picture. 

#002 Uhm, we are going to Barcelona bitches ! Yeah. I can't even explain my excitement. Going to have to contain it for the next 3 months. You can do it Laura ;) 

#003 Just discovered these two new blogs which I think deserve a mention : the first one is The Rockstar Diaries. Oh My Goodness this blog exudes cuteness. Trust me just give it a go and you will fall head over heels for it. The second one is a fellow singaporean's beauty blog : Beauty Fool.

#003 Someone's birthday is coming up ( MAYUMI!). I know she won't read this. She doesn't know my blog url. Yeah, I'm positive. Okay, I'm looking for a Chanel-esque bag. You know those padded sorta bags? Yeah. I need that but cheaper. Anyone know of a cheaper version?

#004 Now it's time for bedtime for me. It's been a busy week-end and I need to sleep. 

Cheerio x 

No Light No Light

Where are you hiding sun !? 

Yeah, Saturday afternoon and it's raining :( Whatever. I can get over it because I'm going out for a little cultural outing with Mayumi. Haha. That sounded rather..... NEEKY. Whoops. But seriously. Don't you feel stupid sometimes when the teacher talks about a painting or anything really and you don't know about it!? Yeah, May and I have found a solution to that. We're going to visit museums. After all, we live in LONDON. How can we not visit museums. Okay, enough of this. It's boring me. And probably you now. 

I pretty much just gobbled all of that in like a minute. Okay maybe not. But I was hungry. 

The Sunday Post #05

One word for this week : stressful. 

It was mocks week full of surprises and I think I peed in my pants more than once. Jokes aside, I don't think I have been as excited as I was for the week-end. 

A few inspiration pictures that I found on the net this week : 

Ok, really weird. Just looked back at all of these pictures and they all have bright orange in it. 

001. Pretty Little Liars ! We are just two weeks away from knowing who A is and I don't think I can contain my excitement. A lot of people think Ezra is A but I don't think it's something the viewers would like? I don't know ! Who do you think is A !? Tell me in the comments below i'm curious to know everyone's opinions.

002. I've been listening to One Direction's One Thing and More Than This on repeat. These guys are OhEmGee so freaking hot. Okay not all of them but ya'know ;) 

003. I diagnosed myself with this certain disease called Trichotillomania. Go google it to find out what it means. But yeah I do it way too much with my hair :s It's bad Laura ! 

004. Last thing which is kind of tmi but whatever this is my blog after all ! I am the kind of person that NEEDS to wash their hair like every single day or it will be greasy. But a week after starting Roaccutane I can now NOT wash my hair everyday. Life-changing much ? I think so. 

There goes another week ! Getting closer to exams........ In 3 months and a half. Holy Moly....
