THE FIRST TIME I'm beauty blogging from our new home. If you've been wondering where I've been, I've been exhausted. If you read my other blog, you'll see what I mean. My hands feel like sandpaper now, after washing them too much. Which reminds me, I have to get a heavy-duty hand cream.
THE FIRST TIME I'm wearing a man's shirt. Men's T-shirts I wear all the time, but this is a first with a crisp shirt. I stole it from the man, and now it's hanging on a floral hanger in my closet, MINE! =D
THE FIRST TIME I'm wearing these makeup products:
Bourjois 1,2,3 Perfect CC Cream #32 Beige Claire ~ Too soon to tell if it'll rock my world, but I like the finish & light-medium coverage.
Bourjois Intense Extrait Eyeshadow #09 ~ Very impressed how soft and pigmented this is. I'm already in love with it, and I see myself wearing it a lot. 09 is a deep mocha brown, which looks a little taupe. I'd also apply it as a liner with a wet brush, like I do the other black shade #10 (swatched here) Because I have hooded lids, eyeshadows hide in the folds, unless I do this......
MAC Vegas Volt Lipstick (Amplified Creme) ~ I will post proper swatches of this.
Ardell Individual Short Lashes ~ Forgot to include these in the pic above, but you can check them out in this post. I wore 4 of them on the outer corners of each eye.
And lastly.....
THE FIRST TIME a Monkey almost gave me a heart attack! Imagine this: I was all alone the first evening we moved into the new apartment....I was in my room, sitting on my ankles, taking out stuff from a suitcase on the floor....and then from the side of my left eye, I saw a monkey taking a stroll on the balcony right outside my door, only about 4 feet away from me. A lazy gait, almost like a catwalk, and it looked like it was chewing gum. I shakily muttered "Oh, Dear God.", and then like National Geographic, I ran closer to the door mobile phone in hand, finger on the camera icon. I need proof, for whatever/whoever, I don't know. Seeing this, I think even Bandar (Monkey) almost had a heart attack. It gave me a horrified look before jumping down onto the balcony under ours. I didn't get a picture yet. It was only after a few minutes that he reappeared, but he jumped down from the balcony above ours (how he got up there so quickly, I don't know!).
CLICK!
Hope it never comes again. I find baby monkeys cute (from afar), but the medium & grandpa types freak me out. I see a monkey, I immediately think of it jumping on my head & slapping my face senseless.
Makeup & Monkey stories over.
Talk to you again shortly. Promise, I won't be gone for days again! =)
These days, I've been enjoying re-watching Prison Break Season 1. It used to be my most favorite tv show <3

ReplyDeleteLol Cynthia you took a brave click of the monkey. during my school days , an aggressive monkey appeared from somewhere, attacked me , grabbed my left hand like a sandwich and bit me twice. Since then I am scared of them. Coming back to you. You look gorgeous. Love your lipstick. The whole look and backdrop is praiseworthy.very fresh spring look. I wish you could teach me how to do smokey eyes with minimal makeup and inexpensive products for rare occasions. :) I enjoy your creative posts a lot. Keep updating. Try neutrogena hand cream , norwegian formula .its good
OUCH! Bad monkey! =[ I will think about a tutorial post on that. Will also out the hand cream! Thanks! :)
