Due to all the hype, I finally got Nars sheer glow foundation. The verdict? It's a'ight ... It's a good foundation and all but not amazing like how everyone says. Also the color selection is a bit lacking? I bought the shade in "ceylan" but that was a bit too yellow and the next shade down, which is "deauville" is a bit too light.

Ok, I just went to sephora.com to check the spelling of deauville and I found out there's "fiji" which is a shade just between those two. I did not see that at the store and frankly I'm a bit mad about that. Should I go exchange it or what? I guess ceylan is ok since the summer is coming and I'll just look a bit bronzed for now. Which I have to add that I'm in love with putting bronzer in my morning routine. It's amazing what a little can do to warm up your face.

And I guess, I'm a failure at project 10 pan. Maybe next time ...

Project 10 pan (update)

Utterly failed!

I was doing pretty good but I passed by Lush since I had some time to pass and the sales lady talked me into trying out their bar shampoos :(( and I picked up a bottle of flying fox shower gel because I miss it so much. It makes me happy after a stressful day so I justified it. No reason not to get it if it makes me happy, right? yea, thought so!

I'm going to keep doing this P10 pan though. No more buying, promise!

& this gorillaz album makes me happy. Pick up your copy of Plastic Beach today :D

Project 10 pan

I have my headphones on full blast, trying to block out the noise around me. Feeling a bit bored right now. Cleaned out some things and sanitized my desk ... fun times.

I've been hearing about this project 10 pan thing and I might want to join in but I don't know which 10 products to choose from? I don't have that much make up but I do have a lot of skin care products and hair stuff that I need to use/throw away. Also, a bag of sample products that I should try as well.

So here's my list from the top of my head:

1) Rusk shampoo & conditioner. Can't remember the exact name but it's for colored hair. Picked it up a couple months ago and initially didn't like it. I've been using it the past week and thought it wasn't that bad.

2) Shiseido softener from the Elixir line. I don't use it with a cotton ball, rather I use Chizu Saeki's method to make a lotion mask.

3) Clean & clear foaming face wash. The purple bottle. Picked it up on a whim cause I needed a face wash that removed makeup. I don't love it but it gets the job done.

4) Bobbi brown creamy concealer. This one I hit the pan on already but it still has loads of product left on the edge! I might purchase again because it really is a good product but I want to try something new already.

5) Snow fairy shower gel from Lush. Seriously, gotta finish at least ONE bottle. I got 3 full size bottles of this stuff during the holiday sale + some bar soaps that I haven't even touched. Been too busy using snow fairy and flying fox (which I'm almost done with) .

Alright, let's just end it with 5 products. 5 is a good number to start for a first timer. Project 5 pan, yea? I'll do a proper update with pictures next time. Just really need to clear out some things before I should buy more. Such a vicious cycle, lol..

Lush stuff

I had no idea that Lush was having this amazing sale - buy one get TWO free off their holiday stuff and the same with their soaps. So of course I had to get something, even though I'm trying to be good for the new years and only buying what I need. oops!

I got 3 bottles of the snow fairy shower gel- smells like cotton candy! like sweet sweet sugar :) and I also got two porridge soaps and the alkmaar (jasmine+vanilla scent) ... the porridge soap smells like honey and oats, really nice scent! Probably one of my favorites besides honey I washed the kids. Also got a bottle of flying fox shower gel- LOVE!

I've never tried snow fairy before but if it's good, I might go back and stock up and will def. pick up some more soaps!
