given that the fyp hype is finally all over, im starting to feel abit lost in my life.

but i figured this is the best time i should start giving myself more time! it has always been dances friends bf sch family everything but me. wanna do lots of things, read my books watch my shows do some art&craft play my piano...

but 1st my appearance. well not that i think it's bad but certainly after the grueling time in lab where i could only wear tshirt jeans ugly shoes and hair tied up and no contact lenses i think i lost some bit of my fashion sense. and not to mention the freaking ugly never had before acne problems that came with the tremendous stress this yr.

so it's time to mend abit of my face and look good again! and also to take pretty pretty photos during grad trip:DDD super excitessssssss!!!!

so recently i've been spamming these few items:

1) for whitening. need to do some UV protection to prevent blemishes from forming and to make myself look brighter and radiant (not pale green and sickly).


Nivea whitening UV blocker. like it cos it's oil-free (i hate applying oil based stuff to my face although i have dry skin, am always paranoid i'll get pimples from it). and it hydrates and really makes my skin look more radiant! don't really apply this everyday though, it still feels pretty oily to me (im just paranoid it's actually alright). it actually doesnt make my hand feel oily or greasy haha. but it has the typical sunblock feel so im still paranoid. i should man, think it really helps my skin glow.


Garnier light intensive brightening scrub. im always a big fan of scrubs! the tiny micronised beads makes me feel like my face is thoroughly cleansed(: my all time favourite is ginvera marvel gel, can see all the gel turning black when you give ur face a real good scrub! anyway i kind of love this product cos it has lemon essence, totally imagine it filled with vitamin C and nourishing my skin. indeed every night after i use it i feel that my skin is glowing!should try using it in the day instead...

2) for moisturising. after cooping myself in the lab and lecture theatres with merciless aircon, esp in the lab where a dryer environment is needed, plus my die hard addiction to 1 cup of coffee everyday, my skin is sure dehydrated now. so it's kind of intensive moisturising for me now haha.

i love love love this body lotion from face shop! got it only because there was a sale at face shop and it's relatively cheap!it's quite a huge bottle, 300ml! considering that i lather generous portions over my arms and legs (1 full squirt per limb) each time, it has faithfully served me for half a year! love the smell and it really moisturises super well! it's really meant for intensive moisturising, the sales person was telling me that this works better than the other one that i was considering, which was just for normal use can't rmb what. but im really glad i chose this cos it has a gorgeous smell that makes me feel happy going to bed haha! good thing is it's really not greasy, gets absorbed into the skin real fast! the bad thing is, when i wake up in the morning to brush my teeth and my hands come into contact with water, i can feel the lotion. but i'll just wash it off and it kind of means that it's really lasting right heh! it really helps eliminate all the dry skin that i get from the extreme dryness in lab. my hands can be peeling the night before and when i wake up baby soft(: love this!
 my 2 laneige products. was 1st introduced to it during my europe trip when my face started cracking like crazy due to the lower humidity over there compared to singapore. and mag had the hydro gel, and after applying it to my face for like 2 days, my face was as good as new!!which is why i know it works=D it's kind of expensive though, so the essence was kindly sponsored as my birthday gift last yr haha. honestly i dont feel that my face is extra hydrated when i use both together, so sometimes to save money i just use them on alternate days. the recommended usage is 3x per wk but i think my face was too damaged by lab. am going to bring it along for grad trip this time too!

and last but not least, my new found love! i've always had dry chapped lips with cheilosis and ugly scabs on the corner of my mouth, so imagine my joy when i finally finally found one that works for me! tried vaseline and all sorts of lip balm, but pharmacy knowledge had kind of helped me and i know what to look out for now. not sure if you all can see but it says contains super hyaluronic acid, collagen and deep sea mineral water. well actually only the hyaluronic acid is important. read an article before that a pharmacist from the national skin centre said that the only thing that works for moisturising is hyaluronic acid, and sure enough i feel that my lips are getting better nowadays! it's slightly more expensive than all the other lousy lip balms but at least it produces results=D and cheaper than the avene one anyway, which is some cold cream that i dont think works very well in singapore, maybe in the european countries yes.

wow i actually miss blogging like this!shows how much fyp has sucked my life.

just one last photo:

sinful indulgence at max brenners with my ncc pals<3 i think it's the 1st time i really felt happy and enjoyed myself going out after my oral presentation(:

on a side note i really hate my fringe now. cant wait to outgrow it but i think by the time grad trip comes it'll be just nice whee:D  okay time to slp now breakfast at utown hostel tmr!am eggcited:D goodnight world!
