Book Haul/ Makeup Party

I've been feeling like absolute shit lately. I guess the erratic weather has finally taken its toll on me. I spent the most part of yesterday sleeping and watching CSI NY in bed. I woke up at 8 to re edit my texas essay because I had to send it in by 1 and i spent about three hours waiting for Alan to be done with work so we could discuss it over skype.

I managed to send it in in time though, but today i received an email telling me that my application is incomplete. Omg, i nearly had a heart attack. I did send them an email about it though so hopefully i'll get a reply and settle this. Uni apps are seriously killing me. I'm defo more stressed about them than i ever was about As.

Anyway, Phoebe, Nic and Sarah came over yesterday to try on makeup for prom. I was sluggish and sniffly but it was still a heap of fun. Sanch came over the day before and we also played around with my extensive collection.

(Sanch looks so bloody cute in the second photo)

Exfoliating. 

I can't tell you how important exfoliating is. It makes your skin so smooth and foundation just goes on so much smoother. I like making my own just with baking soda and cetaphil.

I would like to buy her face.

Hahahaha, phoebe is so darn beautiful that any kind of makeup would have looked amazing on her. Though after looking at the photos I think the look will be better with a lighter lip. I really need to sort out my lighting because it's making the makeup uneven. MEH.

Nicole's skin is so darn good that i only used a sheer, tinted moisturizer, cream blush and a strong winged liner.

The last few pictures are from sarah's facebook. I made seh look like a mongolian baby as per her request but she didn't post the photos of herself!!! Which is very uncharacteristic if you know sarah. hahahahahhahh

But that was yesterday. I went shopping with my mother and sanch today despite feeling horrible and it was pretty fruitful. 

I am officially an SKII member woohoo! Hopefully it'll clear up my complexion because my skin has been absolutely horrendous lately. I have a pimple the size of singapore on my left cheek and two slightly smaller ones on my right cheek and my forehead. So basically my pimples form a triangle on my face. How bloody appealing.

I'm not sure how well these will work but i have high hopes for them because I've heard so many great things from Marie and Sarah.

By the way, i bought the $99 set from Sephora at ion, which is sort of a beginner kit to try out.

These are from an earlier trip to Kino. I freaking love books. I love the smell of them, the feel of them... I will probably never get a kindle or a reader or whatever. How can you replace books? I was crushed when Borders went bust. Now I have to walk all the way to Taka to get my books ugh.

The above two are trashy novels because hey, we all need a little brain-degenerating novel from time to time. Rachel Gibson is my fav because she has such cheesy plots and her books are so predictable. I like predictable books. It's stable. Although I should mention that there are pretty graphic sex scenes so... yeah.

I haven't read the other four yet.

Books on politics because i'm doing a bit of research for my Uni Apps.

This is from today (except Brave New World). My mom loves Malcolm Gladwell and insisted that i get this so, we'll see if he's as good as everyone says he is. 

I also cannot wait to read the Lee Kuan Yew book because... he's my idol. I don't care what you say, he has done great things for the country and we wouldn't be here without him. I want to meet him before he kicks the bucket but i can't think of a way ): 

Anyway, today's 2nd December, which means that november favourite videos are coming out on youtube!!!!!! I'm going to spend the next three hours lying in bed with a box of strepsils, redoxon, water and tissues watching youtube videos.

Speaking of videos, if you're an archie comics fan, you will either love or abhor this. I happen to love it because i think Archie is cute and the Jughead character is spot on. Although, it does mar the wholesome image of the comic book but ohwell. I wish it wasn't a fan spoof i would defo have watched the whole movie. 

Lastly, I'm thinking of doing a few makeup tutorials. I'm not sure what yet, but i'm thinking of doing one about school makeup. Which technically, would be nothing but moisturizer what with the strict rules. But I know most of my friends slap on at least some concealer and a bit of blush so i thought it'd be good as a first trial tutorial thing.

It'll be completely with photographs because i feel as though videos are abit too... personal i don't know it's weird.

My posts are always so disjointed and are practically a stream of consciousness (ha ha ha lit). Oh wellz.

K I GO WATCH MY MAKEUP VIDEOS LIAO.
