Nails!

Seriously, what's wrong with me!?

I guess I'm a shopaholic when I'm stressed up. But wait, boredom burns my pocket too! Not sure what came over me, my bank is depleting at lighting speed!

See the proof? Its a lot for me, considering I don't usually do nails..

Though not purchased on the same day, but still..!

China Glaze in Emerald Fitzgerald

I would like to think this is what stress did to me. Got it off gmarket, cheap cheap! *hearts cheap buys* I tried to apply on my nails but always end up wiping it off.. Not as easy to apply for amateur like me and seems to stain nails a little (must have base coat)... Colour wise, it's similar to what is on the screen *likes*.


OPI Black Shatter & Hopelessly in Love

Also off gmarket (different seller frm china glaze)! Was so tempted with the shatter craze and finally gave in to temptation. Not very used to the crack initially, but kinda got used slowly.. But one thing i have to say, it stinks imho... Hopelessly in Love is a very sweet light milky pink, sheer and build-able.. No pictures though (tsk, ps!).


Sally Hansen Double Duty

This is my 2nd bottle! Really makes my nail polish stays on longer and less prone to chipping.. And it's shiny! =P


Etude House purchase!

Had to knock off work earlier on Friday and bf wasn't in sg to accompany me, friends mostly still working.. To kill my boredom, this is what happened! Went cwp to kill time since I couldn't concentrate on assignments and i saw Etude House having 30% storewide sale! *blinks* Damage: $15.50 (mask is free~)


The packaging is so cute! Comes with a free pen too =P


Got myself a nail polish remover pump(not sure how u name it). Its an empty bottle, so you have to purchase separate nail polish remover to fill it.. Place a cotton pad on pump area and press down, done~ So much more useful than the normal bottle of nail polish remover, no worry about spilling too. =D


Base coat and cuticle exfoilator (??)

The base coat is easy to apply, dries fast too! Bought the cuticle exfoilator (??) as I wanted to remove the dead skin around my nails.. Apply on the cuticle area, wait for ~10sec and you can start exfoilating using the tool below (taught by their SA)..


No idea the name, but I'd say.. It does a pretty good job! I can see dead skin "shaved off". *shioks*

Oh and lastly.. I got freebies! From gmarket and Etude House respectively~


Eye Mask (L) and Face Mask (R)

*stares back at bank balance*
Heart pain! This is just the nails portion, I still have the online blogshop purchases!!! Stress, spend. Got time, also spend. OMG! *bites nails*

Gold Magic White Lifting Mask + 5cm Neck Care

My confession:
I finally realised the importance of masking! The consequences of improper skincare routine when I was young is now taking its toll on my skin. Sensitive skn.. scars.. acne.. pimple.. pigments.. Yes, it's THAT problematic! Hence, I've been trying to find ways to redeem my "sins" these few years and its really tough and costly.. *sobs*


These few years, I've been getting into the trend on masking. And so, I'm really excited when I was given the chance to do the review the Gold Magic White Lifting Mask + 5cm Neck! *Special thanks to Lush Group*

Okay, let me now jump straight into masking.
*Warning: Please be prepared to see my scary face*

Firstly, see my naked face!
I guess I'm really fortunate when I was trying out the mask. It happens to be a day where my skin feels extra obedient though you can still see the pigments and scars.

Here's the process how I do the masking!

Step 1: Stretch the mask side-way and pull the hooks behind the ears. See the additional portion for the neck care area?

Step 2: Spread the mask evenly. In a upward direction, pull the other two hooks up and behind the ears too.

Step 3: Adjust the mask according. See the neck care portion?

Step 4: Tada~ Massage to absorb the essence and you are done (~20mins) !



+ve :
The 3d mask is really useful as it allows me to multi-task while masking.
Hydrates my skin and makes my skin less dull.
Easily absorbed.
No strong fragrant.
Doesn't irritates my skin!

-ve :
Feels a little tight on my neck/chin when I pull the hooks up and behind my ears(guess its supposed to?)

Overall I feel the mask is pretty good and its really convenient with the hooks behind the ears, save me lots of time. Not much negative point except that the fitting of the mask is not as good as I had expected (a little tight on some and loose on others).

Recommend it to others, YES !
