Nothing much, really... Just random things on a lazy Sunday. Boy, am I getting redundant here or what... (-_-)

Woke up late. Did some tidying up. Washed dishes. Had my first cup of coffee and some sandwiches. Took photos of some things here and there. Cleaned up some blackheads on my nose (yes, gross I know... gomen ne...) using Saizen's charcoal pack. Spent a lot of time on the PC getting kawaii gifs. Visited my Poupee Girl. Ate Korean noodles. Ate some chocolates. Ate dinner. Typing this blog post. Will have my after-dinner coffee (or tea). Will sleep later while listening to Bump of Chicken's music. What a way to end the week...

For someone like me who has been near-sighted for as long as I can remember, eyeglasses are of utmost necessity. Without it (or contact lenses for that matter), I don't think I'll be able to do anything properly! Now I need new frames, and I want this!

J!NS, a Japanese eyeglasses maker, collaborates with Evangelion to churn out these uber-cool frames!

There are glasses for each of the characters: Shinji, Rei, Asuka, Mari, and Kaworu, and 3 colors for each one. That means a total of 15 designs! Personally, I prefer the Mari model...

These can be purchased online and retails for ¥4,990 each. For more info, you can go http://www.jins-jp.com/evangelion/ (in Japanese).

Hooray for functional and stylish anime goodies!

Tiny haul from Majolica Majorca last Wednesday!

Went to SM Megamall with my friends Ekai and Marnie after work, for some much-needed retail therapy! Tee-hee! Hai hai, that's just my excuse to shop since I can't resist Majo Majo's temptations...

The SA whom I talked about on one of my previous posts, her name is Claire, and she's so nice and kind enough to give all three of us a makeover! I soooo love it!

Too bad she will only be there until 05 September but we asked her to be our makeup artist for our company's Christmas party. Talk about excited! LOLZ!

Anyway, here's my loot for the day...

I actually got the lipgloss as a freebie! They currently have a promo wherein you get a free gloss for every mascara purchase... Suteki da ne?

Will be doing separate posts in the future...

PS.

Yesterday (12 August), me and Paul celebrated our 2nd year anniversary! Wow, it's been that long already! Looking forward to spending more loving years with him... Aww...

It's not too long ago when I started joining the BB cream craze (talk about the effects of reading beauty blogs), and this is my first one! I've heard a lot of good reviews about it, and I think I was mesmerized by the gorgeous pink and silver tube at the time, heehee...

I'm not exactly a foundation-type girl, and I would only use one for special occasions since it felt heavy on my face. Also, I only use pressed powder before I go out but felt something was lacking as my skin is really dull. So it was really a joy when I discovered this product as it was able to address those issues. Yay!

Purederm says: "Moisturizes and protects your stressed skin. With SPF30 PA++, it blocks out UV A and B rays from the sun. It’s waterproof feature makes sure that the 3-in-1 attributes remain against water and sweat. Enriched with natural and herbal tea extracts increases skin elasticity and improves skin conditioning."

Price: P695 (50 mL) - purchased at SM Megamall

     ... that it has a yellowish tone, I think it suits most Asian skin.

     ... its consistency; easy to blend and evens out my skin tone.
     ... the size of the tube opening; the amount of product it squeezes out can be easily controlled.

     ... that a little goes a long way; this is my only tube and I've been using it since December last year!

     ... that it doesn't have any terrible scent (no scent at all, in fact)

     ... that it's affordable.
     ... the girly pink packaging!

     ... the fact that it can't really control the oil on my face (uhm, sometimes I think it's just me as I have super oily skin! fuuuuuu... )

     ... it's staying power is only a few hours on me (again, because of my oily skin) so I just set it with pressed or loose powder.

Purederm 3-in-1 Magic BB Cream on my face. Please excuse the horrible eye bags and dark circles... T_T

Tonikaku, as you can see it has a lot more pros than cons, and I actually love this product! Although I'm still in the process of trying other BB creams out there (such as Etude House's) so I won't be purchasing this one for the meantime.

Well, that's it for now... Ja ne!

The sun's out again! Yatta! Finally...

Dug up some old emails from colleagues and found something interesting. The translation is not perfect, but the message is clear...
