If Becky were the epitome of a certified Shopaholic.
I would indeed be a well-qualified candidate for shopaholic-anonymous.
Reason-being, i'm busy shopping- online, offline, scouring the beauty blogs for the latest hope-in-a-bottle.
Spinning the roulette on G-market (now known as Q100).
Checking-out the latest trends that I get lured into clicking 'Buy Now' but with nary a chance to show it off thanks to the extreme climate.
Let's take a peep into my latest spoils. I use the term peep because this just the tip of the iceberg-bursting-out-of-my-wardrobe.
I went for my 1st gelish manicure after learning about the hype and looking at the pretty nails on my friends. I'm not the type to fork out $ on beautifying my nails, I'd rather get my own nail-polish (which i wouldn't pay over $10 for) and DIY to less than fantastic results. Still, I'm not the manicure kind-of girl. I don't even use a nail-file! Oops =X
Anyway, I got this Gelish manicure done only because of a Groupon deal (yeah another weakness of mine haha). This was done at Tinkerbelle Far East Plaza, it was tuck away in one of the quiet corridors and the manicurists seemed more interest in everything else but my nails. It didn't turn out as I expected (I don't like squarish nails eeks i don't know why) and there was alittle too much white polish, I was looking for more of a french-manicure with a touch of glitterish-glam. She didn't exactly ask me before-hand, only that I choose from a tray of samples. And I did have to top-up $10 for this, totaling to a $35 (including soak-off).
It looks prettier in the photo though, thanks to Instagram! LOL, such a god-send.
I'm clutching a tube of Skin-food Peach Green Tea BB Cream from the Good Afternoon tea series, got it off G-market for $7+ $5 shipping thanks to a group-buy deal.
Smells pleasant with a faint whiff of peach and it's for oily skin, although the oil-control isn't anything to shout about, it was definitely a vast improvement over the Aloe Hydrating BB Cream.
Which presents quite a
paradox since I'm comparing Apples with Oranges?
It's combination and acne-prone. My face oils-up in less than an hr after cleansing. But my chin, mouth area and jaw-line is prone to flaking and even peeling if i apply anything too harsh to curb the oil and zap the never-ending zits. argghhh. On top of that, I'm not desk-bound thus exposing myself to extreme dryness (indoors) and humidity and UV-rays outdoors. Masking my imperfections with makeup doesn't improve the condition of my skin either. So, I'm taking a beating here.
Hence, I'm on the perpetual pursuit of hope-in-a-bottle even if it's as real as Thor (hotness! lol)
