Weekly List

I thought it would be fun to do a list of random things, both makeup-related and non-makeup related, as a round up of my week :-) I'd love to hear my readers' lists in the comments section!

Makeup purchased: The Body Shop Shimmer Bricks #17 Deadly Night Shades and #6

Product used up: Ettusais Acne Aqua Shooter Oil Control 50ml. This was average but at least it did not leave a sticky feeling like Ettusais' other products did on my skin.

Product thrown out: Tarte Cheek Stains in Cloud 9, Doll Face and Bronze Goddess. As much as I love Tarte, these were an utter disappointment mostly due to the lack of pigment for Cloud 9 and Doll Face. I got tired of wiping the leakages from these Cheek Stains and since I knew I was never going to use these up, I tossed them. Did it hurt? Yup, even though they were more than 2 years old.

Most used makeup item: MAC lipglass in Jampacked.

Item that impressed me the most: MAC nail polish in Illegal Purple. Gorgeous shade that lasted 10 days on me without chipping! Not sure if that is due to the MAC nail polish or the Kiss top coat that I used though.

Disappointing makeup item: MAC lipglass in Rich & Ripe. It was just blah, waste of my $27.

Lemming of the week: Urban Decay Book of Shadows (but I think this will pass as I'm not a big fan of cardboard palettes)

Favourite non-makeup buy: Blythe 2009 schedule book!

Online orders: Amazon.com order for the last season of House, Weeds, Smallville, Boston Legal, Gossip Girl and Gray's Anatomy. My first Sweetscentcandles.com order with 20% off code 'bones' (good for 28-30 Sep only)

Fragrance that I'm loving: Vera Wang Princess. This actually turned out nicer on me than I had expected. I was worried that it would be a scrubber or give me a headache but the slightly spicy notes made this more interesting.

Fragrance CP that I'm waiting for: Jo Malone Verbenas of Provence. I'm hoping to get Sweet Lime & Cedar too!

Great blog discovery: My Women Stuff, a beauty blog by a lady based in Malaysia. Check out her very interesting report on Lancome Maquicake UV Infinite Powder Foundation and see pics of how it remains dry even when dunked in water!

Magazines purchased: Allure, Smitten, Bea's Up. I thought the Allure cover photo of Ellen Pompeo was quite badly done as she looked totally washed out. The photos insides were much better though. And there were Clinique samples of its Black Honey Almost Lipstick and an eye cream!

Over-indulgence of the week: Ben & Jerry's Chubby Hubby ice cream, Marks & Spencer thai chilli and beef chips and Old Chang Kee chilli crab curry puffs!

Favourite song: Gwen Stefani's The Sweet Escape

Resolutions for next week: To make it to yoga class at least twice. Even once would be good. Not get so stressed out by people at work. To stay away from the Tangs 12% rebate event!
