Skincare, overboard.

5/11/2011

My obsession has moved over to skin care.

Have you ever watched television(seriously, who haven’t?) and noticed how flawless celebrities’ skin are? Granted that celebrities might be piling on an inch of make up on or their photos were digitally enhanced, I am still envious and desire such skin.

For that I have succumbed and bought these products in hopes of achieving such outcome. Damn you media. And damn you credit card.

The MAC 109 Dupe Brush

24/08/2009

I think I found the perfect dupe for the MAC 109. Well, maybe not perfect dupe since I don’t have the actual MAC 109 to make a proper comparison.

I’m talking about the Everyday Minerals Baby Kabuki brush! There are minor differences that are dead on but it worked flawlessly for me.

It looks like this,

I believed I watch Fafinettex3′s video on youtube and she said that, the MAC 109 is basically a mini kabuki on a stick.

It has that basic shape the 109 is infamous for. It’s like a dome shape and flat on the toppest middle part. The resemblance is strong ey?

I tried with my BB Creams.

It worked perfectly with the Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream(Red tube) because the consistency of that cream isn’t so thick and I managed to buff ever so lightly onto my skin and produce wonderful results! However, the silver tube, the cream was very thick and I had a hard time trying to blend it all out.

This brush is my current favorite using with my BB cream. BB Cream are essentially like tinted moisturizer perhaps more thicker. I guess if it works for BB Cream, it shouldn’t have a problem working with liquid foundation though I have yet to try.

Take a few more looks!

Yes, the bristles are longer compared to the actual MAC 109. The other major difference is of course the length of that wooden stick. But seriously for just 9SGD, the price is amazing. As we all know, Everyday Minerals brushes are super soft, I’m not kidding. Look what happened to Kamelia when I convinced her to buy one! (I did right?) The bristles are insanely soft yet there is enough bristles to make the brush firm and it doesn’t give way when applying pressure.

Sadly, it has been discontinued by Everyday Minerals. I’m sure you can find it on eBay or by doing makeup swaps on Makeupalley or something.

Behold Macbook, Time Capsule and Skin

5/07/2008

Some time back then, somewhere around my birthday, i got a macbook as a gift. I was hyperventilating when i heard the doorbell and squeaked, ‘Ohh my macbook is here!’

Apple Inc has great service. My mum ordered the macbook for me in the afternoon and that night they delivered it.

BEHOLD THE MACBOOK!

“LET’S OPEN IT NOW”

*Sparkling Eyes*

What a beauty!

Darling! I will never let go of you!

And my brother said, not gonna thank your parents? I was like Ohh yea. forgot. >_>

Anyways, i demanded Apple’s Time Capsule after that. $400+! And it’s only 500GB. The 1TB cost like $700+ My macbook is $1800+

AND IT ARRIVED!

At first when i saw it, there was like some chinese characters on the frontbox and i was like ‘ What the fuck. Some china made fake apple product?’ I mean like China made so many fake stuff like the iPhone and the fake Egg i read on stomp.

Front!

Back!

‘Designed By Apple In California’

The Time Capsule!

Ignore the messy room.

 

AND AND AND.

I’m so getting the iPhone once it’s out. I’m gonna sell my Nokia N82 even though i’ve been a loyal nokia user ever since my first handphone! The one without colour! Ahh Yes Nokia 3315.

APPLE FANBOY! :)

Wait. I’m not done.

I’ve been looking around to trying to find some cheap skin for my macbook. The cheapest i saw was $20. The most expensive skin that i saw is $59. I’m tempted to get the cheap skin BUT BUT BUT.. Good things don’t come cheap and we all know that really. I’m sure the $20 is made from some cheap material and it is merely just to add some design to the macbook and thats all.

You know.. there is not free lunch in this world.

Anyways i found this garskin. Their price is about $49. The skin that they provide has 4 different types of resistance. Static, Sweat, Splash and Scratch resistance. And why that shouldn’t be worth $49? Does the $20 skin has those resistance? I don’t know. >_>

I found 3 skin that i like and i can’t made up my mind which i want.

Overgrowth is the name.

Gradient Overgrowth.

Blazing Out (Blue)

Aren’t they nice? Are they too feminine? I think I’m getting Overgrowth because it has a white background. My macbook is white so when i use overgrowth it will be like as if those design kinda grow suddenly. If i use the Gradient/Blazing Out, it will look pretty obvious that i stick some kind of sticker on it.

 

And today is fooyiling’s birthday :D

Happy birthday 17th girl!

 

Does this picture look feminine?-.-
