When for my first of the six Bobbi Brown complementary lessons yesterday. How was it? Ok I suppose, nothing very fantastic and the lesson was rather short, about 30 mins only. But I got free eyebrow trimming~ (because I asked the BA some stuffs about my brows and she helped me "cleaned" my brows up^-^).
Well, here's what I came home with, 2 little booklets "Face" and "Cheeks & Lips". In these two booklets, there's some beauty information and also the products I used during the lesson.

Skincare - Acne
Ermmm... I bought some skincare (again) from the place where I usually go for my facials. There is this on going promotion for a four piece skincare set, targeting acne skin. It cost $244 (without GST) and the GWP is a eye treatment.
My skin type is very complicated and troublesome. Its combination (dehydrated yet oily), acne prone and sensitive. I take pretty decent care of my skin, cleanse, tone, moisturise, scrub, mask, facials and the all the works, but yet, I wake up and see new pimples almost daily and my current "old" pimples and scars are healing/fading so ever slowly. Its depressing you know?!
What's more is that people keep commenting on my skin problems. Telling me to eat more veggies, fruits, don't put on so much makeup, let your skin breathe, etc. It really pisses me off sometimes and I do feel like strangling them (ok, that's a little extreme). This is my honest feelings my dear friends, I know that you all mean well, but ..........
Ok, no more talk, here's the pictures of my newest skincare loot with my cute little brown bear!
My brown bear is adroable right?! ^-^
The four piece set consists of:
- Acne Solution Cleansing Gel
- Acne Solution Purifying Toner
- Acne Solution Cream Mask
- Acne Solution Night Cream
Here is a picture of the product descriptions and the ingredient list (click to enlarge).
Its warm today isnt?! I'm dying from the heat! x_x
I have some free time on my hands today so I took some photos of my entire "used" makeup collection. There are still quite a number of brand new makeup I have yet to try and those were left out in the pictures. I'll post them once I have edited the photos!

Maquillage - First Purchase
Recently, I added another Shiseido product to my makeup collection, to be specific, its the Maquillage Concealer Stick EX from the new Maquillage base makeup range. I have a couple of items from The Makeup range but I have never ventured into Maquillage before.
The brochure claims that the concealer can conceal spots, freckles and even out skin tone to make your skin perfect. Melts onto skin to conceal flaws for an effect so natural, its undetectable. SPF 25 PA++.
Its available in 3 shades, I gotten shade #2 in Natural. I think the retail price is $43, but I got it for slightly lesser (that will be another long complicated story to tell).
I was actually going to get the concealer from The Makeup range but the SA told me that this Maquillage concealer has a heavier coverage as compared to the former and can last longer on the skin.
I am gonna use this concealer once I finish my Kanebo Faircrea stick concealer, which I think I will use it up very soon as there is barely much product left! Yay! I feel so proud of myself for finishing a product!

Beauty Credit Mini Haul
Some time last week, I stepped into a Beauty Credit store in Vivo City. I have never bought anything from the store itself (not counting the Beauty Credit lipstick I bought at Guardian) as I dislike being followed about when I am browsing around.
Ok, enough of crapping! Here's what I have bought! If I don't remember wrongly, the total damage was $28.90.
I bought one Lovely Volume Mascara, one Lovely Curling Mascara, they were going at two for $20.90 and two travel size items in a pack, which were going for $8 per pack. There were quite a few selections to choose from, and I chose the Keratin Shampoo and Keratin Hair Pack :)
I should have listening to my inner self and not get the mascaras.... It seems that Korean mascaras hate me, they always seemed to weigh down my curled lashes and the Beauty Credit Lovely Volume Mascara is no exception (I have yet to try the Lovely Curl Mascara yet), I watched my lashes slowly unfurled from curl to straight.
This reminds me that I still have a Lotree mascara in my "Unused Makeup" stash. I don't have high hopes for that either >_<
P.S. My furnitures arrived yesterday and I was busying myself with all the packing. My room is finally done up nicely! ^-^

Shiseido Haul from Metro
Here's what I seized from Shiseido from the Metro sales a week ago.
The Supplist Poreless Foundation in OC-40, a foundation case and White Lucent Brightening Control Base in Ivory. The total damage was no more than $140 and I received the 20% rebate in the form of credit voucher.
I practised a lot of restraint on that day and only got the foundation and base and entirely forgone the Maquillage Face Creator and eye colours....
Seriously, I am lemming for the Face Creator in Nuance Red and Nuance Coral but they cost $59 a pop! And I also want to own the eye colours in Green Mix (BL 146, GR 326 and GR 736)!!! But its beyond my budget to spend $59 on a blusher...
As much as I like to buy cosmetics, there are certain "rules" I abide by, for example, < or =" $10" or =" $25" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKu_BU9z4rZO-fnYtP5iqpZKsCgH28feejakzK1F3BfgShyphenhyphenI1Cry7RyTJCu5DLd6ZnZ0fboSfVxZqBLWFyY9EJs0QEpShNxn1b-xsKq35h5f5BnH9b2FLO6fTW8876N4JDdAzm/s1600-h/IMG_0005.JPG">
Hahaha~~ Only 2 pictures! Super tired today, so not writing any more... Woke up at 5++am to go to Mandai and CCK to sweep the grave and got burned by falling ash from a joss stick and she didn't even apologise... %*@#%&&%$!
Hope that the coming week will be a better week and I shan't suffer from any more headaches! Coming friday is Good Friday~!! Woohoo~!
