This isn't exactly an evening read because I finished this book in a day. I was quite disappointed because I felt that the story had so much potential, but it was completely ruined by the protagonist's love obsession and selfishness. This is written in first-person narrative so I found it so hard to relate to him or be even remotely interested in his thoughts and feelings.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<blockquote>
<i>Every day a different body. Every day a different life. Every day in love with the same girl. </i></blockquote>
<i><br /></i>
<br />
<blockquote>
<i>There’s never any warning about where it will be or who it will be. A has made peace with that, even established guidelines by which to live: Never get too attached. Avoid being noticed. Do not interfere. </i></blockquote>
<i><br /></i>
<br />
<blockquote>
<i>It’s all fine until the morning that A wakes up in the body of Justin and meets Justin’s girlfriend, Rhiannon. From that moment, the rules by which A has been living no longer apply. Because finally A has found someone he wants to be with—day in, day out, day after day.</i></blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I find the concept of being in a different body everyday intriguing and I love how each chapter addresses a different life. It's kind of like reading a short story in each chapter, except that these stories interlink to form the bigger picture. He enters the bodies of people of different gender, race, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, and even people who are suicidal. Doesn't this book sound so interesting?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here's where the problem comes in: the protagonist ruins most of these potentially amazing stories with his obsessive thoughts over a girl he met in one of the earlier bodies and immediately fell in love with. He adopts this stalker-like behaviour, leaving behind the life of the person he's in to find that girl again and again, even though the person he's in seems to have an engaging back-story.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I better stop here because I already gave so much away, but I wouldn't recommend this book anyway. To end this post on a lighter note, here's a (redeeming) quote in the book that I really like.</div>

I have exactly two weeks to go before my trip to Phuket with T and I am so, so, so excited. I remember counting down in June and thinking that I'd never get to September, but look where I am now! I'll definitely be blogging about the trip so stay tuned.</div>

Hey guys! I'm back with another favourites post. Since I can't update much, this is a faster and easier way for me to share new beauty products or generally anything else I've loved in a particular month. Here I have two products I rediscovered that I've been liking in my stash and two new products I bought that I've recently been loving. They are mentioned in no particular order.</div>

<b>1) Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream Cotton Fit</b> (in Natural Beige)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I've had this for a long time already and this is the base make up that I usually wear to school. Recently, I find myself reaching for this over my <a href="http://smxyc.blogspot.sg/2014/05/monthly-favourites-may.html">Revlon Colourstay</a> when I go out because of how quick and easy this applies. It evens out my skin pretty well for a BB cream so I don't even have to use concealer after applying. My only gripe is that it has pink undertones. My skin has yellow undertones so I find it hard to pull this off in the first hour or so. After awhile, it will set and look much fitting for my skin tone. Another thing to note is that this BB cream only has three shades and they're all quite light so girls with darker skin may have to pass. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>2) Real Techniques Buffing Brush</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
In the post where I reviewed the <a href="http://smxyc.blogspot.sg/2014/04/product-review-real-techniques-core.html">Real Techniques Core Collection brushes</a>, I mentioned that I preferred using their Expert Face Brush to blend my foundation so I don't really have a use for this. However, since I've been using the Etude House BB cream a lot, I find that this brush does such a wonderful job blending it. Prior to this, I've been using my fingers to apply the BB cream but I almost always "over apply". This brush helps me to use less product because of how nicely it spreads the BB cream. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>3) Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I've had my eye on this little sponge for a long time and I finally caved in 2-3 weeks ago when the texture of my skin wasn't the best. I had a couple of dry patches on my left cheek, forehead, nose and chin at that time which was very odd because I have combination (normal and oily) skin. Or at least I think I do. My <a href="http://smxyc.blogspot.sg/2014/05/monthly-favourites-may.html">Revlon Colourstay foundation</a> would cling onto those areas, which makes the skin look as if it's going to crack. I had a feeling this sponge would apply the foundation smoother because it can be used damp and whoop, was I happy to be right! But meh, since Revlon Colourstay is transfer-free, it stains the sponge and can take a long time to remove. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>4) Neutrogena Deep Clean Brightening Mulberry Ultra Foam Cleanser </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I've used the facial scrub version of this cleanser for many months as my morning cleanser before (I went through 3-4 tubes of it), not knowing it was meant to be used as a scrub. After realizing I was unintentionally exfoliating my skin daily, I switched to using the Nivea Extra White Pore Minimiser Mud Foam. It didn't do much for me. So when I finished that, I went to purchase this which leaves my skin feeling super soft. I also like how the product dispenses as foam even without lathering. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Yes, I do use a different cleanser for my night time skincare routine. In fact, my morning routine and night routine consist of completely different products. I am very inconsistent with my morning routine so I usually just cleanse my skin after I wake up, but I do keep aside products to use in the morning only. The products in my night time routine are more potent and usually help in keeping my skin clear. Furthermore, most of the products I use aren't from the same brand or the same range. I mix and match to get the most out of each function (brightening, whitening, acne-fighting, moisturising, regenerating etc.) from all the different products. Everybody's skin is different so this is what works for me~ </div>

I apologise for only updating monthly but I haven't had the time or motivation to blog. When my current school semester ends in August/September, I'll probably have more time for detailed reviews. Meanwhile I hope updates like this will suffice! </div>

This is a quick post to update you guys on what I've been doing in the past month! I was pretty busy with school and assignments. I'm finally able to catch a breather because I'm currently having two weeks of holiday. Well, I have three assignments I have to submit when school starts so it's not exactly all fun and games either. I'm supposed to start on one today but meh. Since I'm not going to do anything (yet), I thought I shall blog! It makes me feel productive... Kind of. </div>

Here's a pretty pink rose that T got me as an apology flower for something he did that I don't remember. He rarely gets me flowers out of the blue but that's okay because I have this fear of dead flowers. I don't like the idea of handling or cleaning up dead flowers because I feel like I'm touching a corpse. Does anyone else feel this way too? Or am I just weird.</div>

I've also been more "participative" in my family's activities recently. My sister likes trying new food so they go out for dinners very often on Mondays when my mom doesn't work. I don't usually join them but those were two occasions I did last month! The food was good at both places but quite pricey in my opinion.</div>

Since the month of May is ending in a couple of days, I thought I would share with you some beauty products that I've been loving this month. May has definitely been the month of discovering <b>long-lasting make up </b>as I find myself wearing make up for long hours. Sometimes, that can mean having make up on for more than 12 hours, which I never do in the past. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I would just like to add that these products are mentioned in no particular order. I labelled them so you'd know which product I'm referring to. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>1)</b> <b>Revlon Colorstay Foundation for Oily/Combination Skin</b> (in 150 Buff and 180 Sand Beige)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
This is arguably the best drug store foundation out there currently. It retails for $30.90 SGD. I have this in two shades because the lightest available shade in Singapore, Sand Beige, is one shade too dark for me. This product comes in 20 shades and yet Singapore only has five of them. Sand Beige actually matches my face, but unfortunately, my face is darker than the rest of my body (I know, usually it's the opposite). I ordered Buff, which is one shade lighter, on eBay. Surprisingly, they are very different. I suspect it's because Sand Beige has a later manufacturing date, and we know that Revlon recently reformulated this foundation. I much prefer the reformulated version though. It's just too bad Buff doesn't retail locally. Oh man, I'm rambling. I guess I'll go into detail in a separate post where I'll give a proper review! So, why have I been especially loving this in May? Well, once this foundation sets on your face, I swear it will <i>not </i>budge. It's transfer-resistant so you can blow your nose, wipe your mouth, touch your face and hug someone without getting foundation all over tissues, your fingers or even on someone else's shirt. I'm sure we've all experienced those awkward situations before. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>2) Collection Lasting Perfection Ultimate Wear Concealer</b> (in 01 Fair and 02 Light)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I've had this concealer in Light for awhile now. It retails for $14.90 SGD. I've mainly been putting it only on scars or any other discolouration on my face. Since this concealer is quite thick and feels a bit tacky, I've been very hesitant to use it under my eyes to conceal dark circles because <i>any</i> concealer I've tried at that area creases and settles into fine lines. Basically, my under eyes would look like a mess after 2-3 hours. I'm not sure what went through my mind last week because I actually tried to conceal my dark circles with this and wowww. Why have I not tried it sooner?! This concealer DOESN'T settle into fine lines and it creases minimally! I tried it for two days to make sure. On the second day, <i>I was sold</i>. I immediately went to purchase another one in Fair because I prefer a lighter shade to conceal under my eyes. I think this concealer is my favourite out of all the products I've been loving this month!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Okay, I meant for this post to be short because I intend to do reviews on these products in the future but I can't help rambling. I shall try to be succinct from here onwards.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>3) NYX HD Studio Photogenic Finishing Powder </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I ordered this product online for $15 SGD. This is a finely-milled silica powder that sets your base make up. I love using this because it keeps my face matte and baby smooth for the longest time (compared to any other loose or pressed powder I've tried)! I don't have large pores but I totally recommend this for those who do because it hides them amazingly for the first couple of hours. I also use this to set my under eye concealers and it definitely helps with blurring fine lines and preventing creases. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>4) Urban Decay All Nighter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
This retails at Sephora for approximately a little under $50 SGD. That's sooo pricey for a setting spray but it works wonders. My make up looks fresh and lasts a lot longer with this! If you have problems with your foundation breaking up or settling into pores by the end of the day, you will adore this. Be sure to shake it well before spraying or you'll find large droplets on your face. I only use this to set my make up on special occasions because it's very expensive. If you use it sparingly, I think it'll be worth the investment!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>5) La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Ah finally, a skincare product! It is very important to note that there are two versions of this and I have the European one. I don't remember how much this retails for but I know it's very pricey. Wearing make up for so many hours can take its toll on your skin. Don't get me wrong. None of the products I've mentioned above break me out, but I do see an increased amount of clogged pores on my skin. I can easily get rid of them with a comedone extractor but I'd prefer it if I just keep them at bay. This product serves that purpose perfectly (slowly but surely)! It is made to unclog your pores. I use this every night after a serum and before a moisturizer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
That's it! I hope that I've piqued your interest in some of these products. I think all five of them are especially useful in achieving long-lasting make up or if you wear make up often. See you in my next post!</div>

This is the eye shadow palette that I reach for most frequently (more than my Naked 3 palette) because it's so simple to apply. I basically just follow the label on each shade and it creates such a pretty yet effortless look. I also love applying just the eyelid shade if I'm in a rush to head out because the pink is so gorgeous. My photos certainly do not do justice to how lovely that shade is. It's the most pigmented and least chalky shade in this palette. The crease shade does not fall behind much in terms of pigmentation. The browbone shade is pretty decent for an eye shadow that's made to highlight under the eyebrow. You can use it at the inner corners of the eyes too. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This product comes with sponge and brush applicators that are quite useless. The quality of the sponge is especially low. Additionally, the plastic packaging is kind of flimsy. But at only $8.50 SGD, this is absolutely worth purchasing because the eye shadows themselves are amazing. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Let me know in the comments what you think if you've tried this palette!</div>

Today I'm reviewing a skincare product that I've been using for almost a year now: the Snail Secretion Repair Serum from Bio-Essence. I was very consistent in the beginning when using this but now I only reach for it whenever I feel like treating my skin in the morning. This product was released after the old hype about the wondrous properties of snail secretion for the skin. Many Asian skincare brands created their own line of products that uses snail secretion thereafter and this is Bio-Essence's version.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
That's a lot of benefits to promise in one product! It's very common for products that use snail secretion to boast such claims. Unfortunately for this one, it only lives up to two of them. The best thing about this is that it absorbs very rapidly into the skin and doesn't leave a sticky residue. It's lightweight yet moisturizing for a serum. My skin feels really soft after using it. I also really like the gold glass packaging (although it may not be suitable for travel) and the dropper which makes using this very hygienic. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Well, those are the only good things I have to say about this product. "What?! What about skin regeneration or scar lightening?" Nope, no magical skin healing properties here. For $39.90 SGD, you get an unimpressive serum that simply does what any other hydrating serum would do. This is actually my second product that uses snail secretion. The first one was the Snail Street Snail Cream that was absolute rubbish for $55 SGD. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Meh. Maybe I just don't have much luck with this type of products. But you see, my skin is very fair and thin. It scars easily so I'm always on the hunt for anything that claims to reduce scars. I've since found other affordable products that significantly lighten (sometimes even eradicate) scars on my face and guess what? No snail secretion needed!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

That's it for today guys! Let me know in the comments what you think of using snail secretion in skincare. </div>

Since I only wear a full face of make up if I'm going into town, this my go-to highlighter on those days. Moonlight Pearls is a gorgeous champagne colour that gives a frosty sheen when applied. The product comes in dome-shaped plastic packaging that, honestly, doesn't feel sturdy or durable at all. The highlighter itself, however, is pretty good for only $8 SGD. It's decently pigmented, not chalky and has zero fallouts. When used dry, it's gives a very sheer glow to the skin. I don't like highlighters that are too excessively pigmented because I feel like it can make the skin look too shiny. For those of you who seek fantastic pigmentation for a more dramatic look, you can still try this product; just use it wet instead! </div>

Hello! It's been almost one week since I posted. If you read my previous post, you'd know I've been back at school. Well, I could have squeezed in a review or two. I did try but whenever I tried to take photos of or with the products, I wouldn't be satisfied with them. So I'm sorry if this post is lacking in photos!</div>

<b>Etude House I'm Blooming Sebum Control Mist claims to</b>:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>contain 95.9% of green tea extract (Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract),</li>
<li>hydrate skin while controlling oil and shine,</li>
<li>and provide soft powdery skin.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are three different types of facial mist in the "I'm Blooming" range: "Brightening", "Deep Moisture" and "Sebum Control". I have combination skin (oily in T-zone) so I was definitely attracted to the "Sebum Control" one. This can be used alone, before make up or after make up. I only use this on school days after I've put on my make up. While I wouldn't say the mist is fine, it doesn't come out in large droplets, as long as you hold it at least 20 cm away from your face. It sinks into the face by the next minute and doesn't leave any residue. For something that claims to contain that much green tea extract, it doesn't smell like green tea at all, or anything close to tea in fact. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Most of my make up products already help in reducing shine or oil, but I do feel that my face stays matte a bit longer with this. I really enjoy using it because my skin can look a bit dry after putting on make up. This is very refreshing and provides mild hydration for the skin. </div>
</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

Do note that this is not a make up setting spray. Let me know what facial mists you like to use in the comments!</div>

Hello guys! Here's a huge picture of me to start since I don't post many on my blog. No, today's post isn't a beauty review although I will be doing those in a few days. I just wanted to do a mini life update on last week because school resumes for me tomorrow (unfortunately). I know I used to update everyday but I think I can only do 2-3 posts weekly now. I went out pretty much everyday last week because I wanted to make full use of my few days of holiday left. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
On Tuesday, I found some time to take photos for my blog. That didn't go very well and I had only one photo (out of so many) that I was satisfied with, which I used for my post on <a href="http://smxyc.blogspot.sg/2014/04/fashion-finds-statement-necklaces.html">statement necklaces</a>. I am so insecure in front of cameras and yet I'm such a perfectionist. It's like I'm not confident of myself but I somehow still expect to look flattering in the photos. Doesn't really work that way, huh? Yet I can't help but want everything to be exactly how I pictured it. I think the perfectionist side of me annoys people (especially my boyfriend). On top of that, I'm also very impatient. Seriously though, without patience how can things turn out the way I want it to be, especially if I aim for perfection?</div>

There we simply ate and talked about everything and anything. I think we reached at around 6+ PM and sat till 10 PM. I haven't really sat at one place to talk to someone for that long in such a long time. We made some ambitious plans that I can't wait to share on my blog if we really succeed. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thurdays are usually the days where T and I head out for our movie date because he's free and there aren't crowds in town. But last Thursday, we went to have Korean BBQ for dinner. The place we went to was in Chinatown, called <i>Manbok BBQ Buffet</i>. I wanted to try the food there because we'd visited another Korean BBQ restaurant previously, <i>Ssikkek</i>, just 1-2 minutes away. I much prefer the latter because the kimchi soup there was sooo good.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On Friday, we went to town and ate my favourite takoyaki before catching the movie, <i>Transcendence. </i>It was alright; nothing fantastic. We then queued for 45 minutes at <i>Eighteen Chefs</i>, the best place for baked pasta (imo), for dinner. We eat here so often because there's one at Tiong Bahru Plaza, the mall nearest to my house, and one in town. The rest of the food in their menu is pretty average, but you definitely should try their baked pastas! You can choose your own pasta sauce and toppings. Best part is, it's so affordable and worth every dollar if you get a student meal, complete with ice lemon tea and ice cream. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then, on Saturday, T and I went swimming. I can't swim for nuts, so I basically go there to soak myself in chlorine water. He said he would teach me but I'm too scared in the water to learn. I'll try again next time!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

That's it then! I'm not sure if you guys like reading posts like this. Do check back for new beauty reviews this week!</div>

Recently, I was on the search for something I could store and display my make up brushes in. I was looking specifically for those metal buckets where people kept their paintbrushes in. My sister knew I wanted them so she kept a look out for me. She chanced upon the buckets, but she found this little pot in the shop too. This is a flower pot, I think. We agreed it looked better than the metal buckets so she got two pots for me instead.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I have 16 make up brushes and they could all fit into one. The pot looks stuffed in the photo but there's actually room for 2-3 more. Since I use the brushes quite frequently, I split them into both pots. It can be a bit hard to retrieve them when they're all packed together. </div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">Hello guys! Today I am going to review the Sleek Face Form in Fair. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="text-align: justify;">In this handy little kit, you'd find contour powder, highlighter and their ever-so-famous blush in Rose Gold. I was going to purchase this product in Light initially, but that shade was sold out on the website I ordered from. I decided I could easily build up the colours if the powders aren't pigmented enough for my skin tone (NC20).</span></div>

<b>Contour</b>: In one of my previous posts in which I reviewed the <a href="http://smxyc.blogspot.sg/2014/04/product-review-swatches-nyx-matte.html">NYX Matte Bronzer</a>, I'd mentioned that I was using another product that offers a better contour shade. This is the one I was referring to! You can tell from the photos above that this is appropriate for contour because the colour is more of a true neutral brown. The NYX Matte Bronzer is too reddish to contour with. The contour powder is pretty good in pigmentation on my skin. It applies smoothly and contours naturally because it's matte.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Highlighter</b>: I was kind of disappointed in the highlighter because it looks a bit chalky on my skin when applied. The colour, on the other hand, is so pretty and gives a very natural glow to the face. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Blush</b>: This is the blush that everyone claims is a dupe for the best selling Nars Blush in Orgasm. Rose Gold is a light baby pink shade that has gold shimmers. It is such a beautiful blush. The pink shows up decently on my cheeks. It gives a very subtle shimmery highlight to them. Sometimes, I layer this lightly over another blush and it's very flattering when used that way.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If I had to nitpick just one flaw, it would have to be the fact that all three powders are of the same size. Why do I say that? Well technically, you wouldn't use as much highlighter as compared to the other two. If you hit pan on either the blush or contour first, are you going to repurchase the whole kit again? I know the blush retails separately, but I'm not too sure about the contour. Of course, this is just very minor and can easily be overlooked.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="510" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3FbUh4IIMWuWzP2ZU4vDblDp_NIVzBJ3attjQUNx_u_rQgFxMGwIpVOUVdEpeqVx7EGjim2rQ-xhUHJdzYZ5eP_VLi3zJNrim_VuDjeb6BhVrrsaKwkjOaQrX8LhucOCqUp1kN9zzXzU/s1600/SAM_1065.JPG" width="640" /></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Overall, I actually really like this. At only $19.50 SGD, you get three products. It's such a steal! The quality of this is impressive, considering the price you pay for them. None of the powders had fall outs when in use. The concept of a 3-in-1 kit is also very travel friendly!<br />

I've honestly never been a fan of statement necklaces, especially those that are as elaborate as the one I'm wearing above. "It's too much!" I'd say. But yesterday, when I went out to take some photos, I "borrowed" this piece from my sister to add a bit of colour to the LBD I was wearing. The dress actually has a very flattering criss-cross back, but it's otherwise just a very simple black dress. I was really surprised at how well the they matched. It looked as if the necklace was part of the design of the dress. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Previously, when I wore this dress out, I'd felt that it was a little plain. The thought of matching it with a statement necklace never crossed my mind. I'm so glad I tried it because I really liked the way it looked! I may go hunting for more statement necklaces that suit my style and try them.</div>

What do you think of statement necklaces? </div>

Hey guys! Here's my review on the Skinfood Salmon Brightening Eye Cream. I actually reviewed the concealer from the same line previously so I thought I should review the eye cream too. This is the eye cream that I use in my current night time skin care routine. I alternate between this and an anti-aging eye cream.

I've been using this for 4-5 months now. While this hasn't completely eradicated my dark circles, I find that it is extremely good for moisturizing the under eye area. The cream itself is quite thick, yet very smooth. I'm not good at describing smells, but this has a very strong fragrance that might bother some people. Don't worry. It doesn't smell like salmon. Once applied, it leaves a shiny, almost oily, film on the skin. I don't really mind that because I don't touch my under eye area anyway. It comes in a pretty but bulky pot. I'd prefer a pump because it's quite unhygienic to dip my finger in. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The results: A very moisturized and smooth under eye area! I'm not sure if I see any visible brightening properties, but my dark circles are hereditary so I don't think any eye creams will make a significant change. It sounds promising though. This is definitely a great eye cream to use at night if you have dry under eyes or if eye make up tends to crease on you. </div>

After four months, I've finally changed my phone skin. I went for a more girly one this time. The floral print is just too pretty! These skins provide such an easy way to change up the look of your phone. Whenever I change mine, I feel like I'm getting a brand new phone.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I realized that I've become very girly since 2013. I've always liked floral prints, but I never thought I could pull it off. Before this, I think I was going for a more edgy yet minimal kind of look. I preferred more basic clothing with denim, leather and boots, whereas now, I'm all about prints and pastel colours. I wear rompers, dresses, skirts or skorts whenever I head out. I do still like to mix it up, like wearing dresses with boots, but I think I'll still reach for sandals, heels and wedges any day. </div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
On my birthday last month, my sister bought me the Real Techniques Core Collection brushes. I've actually had my eye on these while walking around Watsons awhile back so I was very surprised when I unwrapped the present. I may have let out an excited shriek or two. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>Buffing Brush</b>: "<i>Ideal for full coverage application of powder and mineral foundation</i>" </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
This brush is actually very versatile. You can even use it to apply powder or cream blush/bronzer. I know this has been highly raved as the perfect brush for buffing and blending liquid foundation. I like to use their Expert Face Brush (let's call it the EF for now) to do that but a lot of people have chosen this brush over that one. It made me really curious so this was actually the brush that I wanted to try most from this collection. I was slightly disappointed. Compared to EF, the bristles on this brush are not as densely packed. It is, however, very soft and flexible. I much prefer the results I get with the EF for blending my liquid foundation. I can totally see why this is great for applying powder foundation, which is what this was made for, but I won't use it for liquid foundation. If you haven't been spoilt by the EF, you might like this for liquid foundation. Who knows? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>Contour Brush</b>: "<i>Delicately applies highlighter to contour or create sheer, soft-focus finish</i>"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
This is a small fluffy brush that you're supposed to use to contour with. I've used this brush to contour my face 2-3 times. In a way, it's great for contouring because it's small enough and the bristles are loosely packed to pick up just the right amount of product. But I've since found another brush that is angled, which makes it more perfect for sculpting under the cheekbones. I think this is more suitable for blending and setting your concealer. You can also use it to set parts of your face that a big powder brush may have missed (for example, around the nose). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>Pointed Foundation Brush</b>: "<i>Use with liquid foundation to build custom coverage</i>"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
No no no. You do not want to use this brush for your liquid foundation. I've never used it for that purpose (actually I've never used it yet) because I can already tell that this will cause foundation to look streaky. It's also quite small for a foundation brush so you'll take forever to apply. The bristles are actually very soft, but since the brush is shaped this way, I feel like they don't necessarily feel gentle on the face. I haven't found a use for this brush yet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>Detailer Brush</b>: "<i>Precision cut to effortlessly conceal problem areas; or, use with lipstick for long-lasting shape and definition</i>"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Finally, a brush in this collection that is shaped for its purpose! This is like a tiny version of the Pointed Foundation Brush. The bristles, as usual, are soft. Yes, this brush will blend out your concealer well and apply lipstick with precision. However, I don't think you should use this to blend your under eye concealer because it may poke at your skin. The under eye area is very delicate so be careful! While this brush is indeed shaped for its purpose, I like to use this to apply eye shadow at the inner corner area to highlight the eyes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Before I forget, these brushes actually come with a black 2-in-1 case + stand. There is a little tag on the drawstring which briefly explains how to change the case into a stand. This is perfect for travel!</div>

This collection is priced at $39.90 SGD in Watsons. Do I think it's worth it? Well, you do get four brushes that are exclusive to this collection (you won't find them retailing separately), but it will only be worth that much if you find a use for at least three of them. The quality of these brushes are really outstanding though.</div>

If you know me, you'd know that I have this secret (well, not so secret any more) part of me that admires people in the military <i>so much</i>. I can spend hours on Wikipedia reading about military missions and reputable soldiers, mostly the ones who had sacrificed themselves for their country. I know... It's so weird. My sister laughs at me and makes fun of me about it. I just have this unexplainable amount of love and respect for people who are extremely courageous and self-sacrificial. When I learnt about the film adapation of this book before it started showing in cinemas, I looked it up and read all about Operation Red Wings. I knew I had to watch the film. </div>

<i>On a clear night in late June 2005, four U.S. Navy Seals left their base in northern Afghanistan for the mountainous Pakistani border. Their mission was to capture or kill a notorious al Qaeda leader known to be ensconced in a Taliban stronghold surrounded by a small but heavily armed force. Less then twenty-four hours later, only one of those Navy SEALs remained alive.

This is the story of fire team leader Marcus Luttrell, the sole survivor of Operation Red Wings, and the desperate battle in the mountains that led, ultimately, to the largest loss of life in Navy SEAL history. But it is also, more than anything, the story of his teammates, who fought ferociously beside him until he was the last one left. Luttrell recalls their valiant efforts in one of the most powerful narratives ever written about modern warfare-and a tribute to his teammates, who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.</i></blockquote>

I usually only read fiction novels, mostly in the fantasy genre, but I couldn't resist picking this up, especially after I'd watched the film (it was super good). No regrets at all, I tell you. The book was even better than the film. I won't give away what happens, but the last part in the movie differed a lot from the book. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the middle pages of <i>Lone Survivor</i>, you'd find some photographs dedicated to the team. Most of them have appeared at the end of the film. It was so heart-wrenching to see those photos, knowing that the story was real and that these people have really been through all that fear and pain in their dying moments. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
When I was done reading it, I had this strong urge to fly to America, just to visit the graves of these men. There, I'd lay flowers and express my admiration for them. Okay okay, you must now be thinking that I'm crazy, but you see, that's how much respect I have for them. I don't think there's anyone else that I respect more than the people serving in the military. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I always think, "We're all humans. Why do these people have to go out, risk their lives and fight for others while the rest of us do nothing." But I get it. I know not all of us are as gallant and unselfish. In a way, I guess the respect I have for these men stems from the knowledge that I can never be as brave and as self-sacrificial as them. </div>

Today I will be reviewing the Skinfood Salmon Darkcircle Concealer Cream in shade 2 Salmon Beige. They have a few products in this line, including a Salmon Brightening Eye Cream that helps combat dark circles. I bought the eye cream during my <a href="http://smxyc.blogspot.sg/search/label/korea">trip to Korea</a> last year. </div>

My dark circles are probably the biggest flaw I have on my face. I have hereditary dark circles and I used to have insomnia. On top of that, my under eye area is a bit hollow, so light tends to cast shadows there. I can't hide natural shadows but using a concealer to cover the dark circles makes me look more awake. If I can only use one make up product for the rest of my life, I'd definitely choose a concealer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
After reading quite a lot of good reviews, I decided to order the Salmon Darkcircle Concealer Cream online in September 2013. Read on to see if it lives up to its hype! </div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">I think I should have ordered this in the lighter shade. I often underestimate how fair I am (I'm a NC20). This shade actually matches my face pretty well when blended, but I like my under eye concealers to be one shade lighter than my foundation for a brightening effect. This concealer has peach undertones which makes it perfect to counter the bluish tones of dark circles. It's very creamy<b>, </b>moisturizing and can be blended easily. I think it's especially important to set it with a powder because the salmon oil makes your under eye area look too dewy. Packaging-wise, the pot is bulky, unhygienic and inconvenient for travel (it's not glass, if you were wondering). In one of the photos above, you can see that the product doesn't even take up half of the pot. </span>For me, this concealer has enough coverage to mask my dark circles, but since it's not in the shade I'd like it to be, I'm not quite satisfied with the overall look. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Generally, this concealer can last up to five hours and will not crease if you set it with a powder. I'd recommend it to anyone with light to moderate dark circles, or if you're just looking for something to brighten the under eye area. Make sure to get it in the right shade! I think it's worth giving this a shot because it has the potential to be a great under eye concealer. Some people have even mentioned that this is a dupe for Bobbi Brown's Creamy Concealer. While this is not my go-to under eye concealer, I still find myself reaching for this when I'm going out nearby or for a short while.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

That's it for this review. Let me know your HG under eye concealer in the comments!</div>

Awhile ago, in my search for a contour powder, I ordered the NYX Matte Bronzer online. I've had it for three months already so I thought it would be a good time to share my opinions on it. For your reference, I'm a NC20 in MAC.</div>

I purchased this bronzer because it was matte, so I thought it'd be good to contour with. The colour, however, is a bit too reddish (almost slightly peachy) in my opinion to be used as contour. I prefer a darker, more neutral brown. But, bearing in mind that this is actually a bronzer, it's quite excellent for that purpose. The colour seems perfect for an all over sun-kissed look or, as the product description says, a "honey glow" to the face. The powder has no fallouts and is very smooth; it isn't chalky at all. You can probably tell that it's very pigmented, but it's also fairly easy to blend. Since the colour pay-off is so impressive, you only need to apply very minimally. This stays on my face from the moment I put it on till I get back home, which is usually 6-7 hours. It's retailing for $16 SGD online so you really get your money's worth!</div>

I've since found another product that is more appropriate for contour so this has just been resting in my make up box. I'm not really a fan of looking bronzed either. If, like me, you thought this would make a suitable contour powder, you might want to look elsewhere. But if you're looking for a matte bronzer that warms your face and has great colour pay-off and lasting power, this could be the product for you. It is available in five different shades, so there might just be one for everyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Do leave a comment to let me know what you think of this and what product you use to contour. See you in my next post!</div>

It was the last day of my trip in Korea. T and I decided to spend it at Dongdaemun, the area we visited on the first day, because we hadn't really explored the other places that were there. In the morning, when we were preparing to head out, T called the mall where I had lost my wallet; our last attempt at recovering it. They didn't have good news but I'd already expected it anyway. We checked out of the hotel and left our luggages with the concierge before setting off. </div>

The entire afternoon was spent eating, wandering around and doing some last minute shopping. T bought himself new shoes. I was on the hunt for a new wallet but we didn't have much luck. Then, we returned back to the hotel in the evening for our luggages and took the cab to Seoul Station. Like the first day, we took the express train, this time to the airport. </div>

The view from Seoul Station to Incheon Airport is especially pretty, even more so because the windows were tinted. We were very late when we arrived at the airport so we rushed to check in to our flight. Everything after was a blur and the next thing I knew, we were on the plane back home to Singapore.</div>

I have very mixed feelings about the trip. I hadn't fallen in love with Korea, so I don't have any desire to go back. What I really did enjoy was spending time alone with T for five whole days, completely dependent on each other; getting lost; and saying good night to him before I succumbed to sleep, knowing I'll wake up tomorrow to another day with him. </div>

Hi guys! I'm back with a skincare product review. This is a review on Etude House's Collagen Moistfull Sleeping Pack. This skincare line is very popular in Korea. I bought this product during my trip there last year (<a href="http://smxyc.blogspot.sg/search/label/korea">click here to read about it</a>) and I've used it for five months, once every 1-2 weeks. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
So, what is collagen?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Collagen can be found in our skin and it is important because it strengthens blood vessels and gives skin its elasticity. When your skin's elasticity is strengthened, it can then expand and contract (for example, when making facial expressions) without damaging any skin tissue. Thus, it is necessary for conserving the youthfulness of our skin. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Unfortunately, as we get older, collagen production slows down, resulting in fragile and less elastic skin. That's how wrinkles and sagging skin come about. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
If there's anything you need to know about the importance of skin care, it's that we should always start preventing such problems when we are young, because it's harder to treat them when they surface. It's never too early, or too late, as long as you're consistent in taking care of your skin! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Now that we know the importance of collagen, let's get on with the review. </div>

The little pot comes with a lid after you've unscrewed the cap. It would be more hygienic if it came with a spatula too so I don't have to use my fingers. The consistency of this product is very thick. Once I've smoothed it all over my face, it leaves a sticky film at the top of my skin. This can be annoying for some people because you have to be careful in the way you sleep. If your face touches the bed or pillows, the product will rub off. But hey, you should never rest your face against your pillows because they're full of germs. I know you can't really control it when you're asleep, but trust me, the way you lie when you get into bed matters. The product doesn't disappear on my face even after I've woken up in the morning (again, some people may not like this), but as the directions stated, you're supposed to wash it off. The film does become thinner and less sticky by morning but it makes me wonder how much of it was actually absorbed. After washing the product off, my skin feels very soft. I don't think I see any visible long-term results so far, but since I'm only 19, I'm not sure what I should be seeing anyway. I hope my skin thanks me when I'm older though! </div>

Generally, most products from Etude House are quite affordable. They're a lot cheaper in Korea compared to Singapore, so you'd get a better deal if you order from <a href="http://qoo10.sg/">Qoo10</a>. If you do visit the website, only order from reliable shops with good ratings.</div>

If you think that facial sheet masks are too troublesome and a mess to put on, try using a sleeping mask instead. It's way more convenient and there's no waiting time so you can just head to bed. I do not use any other products from this line but I don't see any negative results from using this, so go ahead and give it a try if you're looking for a collagen face mask! </div>

Hello everyone! Today I will be reviewing a MAC blush in the shade Peachykeen. This is actually my very first blush and the only MAC blush I own. I'm reminded of why I had fallen in love with it since the day I first used it for prom at the end of secondary school.<br />
<br />
Let's get on with the review!</div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">I have this for two and a half years now. Probably need to discard it and purchase a new one oops. I don't use it any more so it has just been sitting in my make up box for ages. I remember the last time I did: it was months ago and I was completely taken aback by how I had unknowingly applied too much on my cheeks. I'd forgotten how very pigmented this blush is (so much for "sheertone" huh). Peachykeen is a gorgeous warm peachy-pink colour with subtle gold glitter. My swatches really do not do the blush justice. It's<i> oh so so so pretty </i>and it gives a healthy glow to the face (no doubt from the glitter). It is very easy to apply, and best of all, it doesn't look chalky even when layered, although you probably only need one layer due to its intensity. It has very minimal fallouts. Personally, this colour lasts for a long time on my cheeks. </span><br />
<br />
Since MAC is a high-end brand, this definitely isn't cheap, especially for a blush. It retails for $35 SGD at any MAC counter. I think this is worth every cent you pay for because the quality and pigmentation is amazing. It's no secret that MAC makes one of the best blushes out there.<br />
<br />
After this review, I'm actually very tempted to get another MAC blush. I honestly have nothing bad to say about this. While it's rather expensive, I feel like MAC blushes are a good investment to make because you get a decent amount of high-quality product that can easily last you for a long time. Highly recommended!</div>
