everything is temporary

Lush haul!

2011-12-14T23:08:00.006+08:00

Back in 1990s or something, Lush had a store here in Singapore. It closed down then maybe due to low sales? But now it's back in Singapore! At Wisma Atria to be exact. The Lush hype is here for quite long now, with joining sprees as the only choice to get hold of the products. I wasn't interested in Lush or bath and body products but with the opening of the new store, seems that I have jumped onto the bandwagon!

I bought four items in total in two separate trips to Lush. Only three are pictured because the last one is a body butter and it melts fast! Haha so I didn't attempt to take any shots of it.

Sweet Lips lips scrub is a vanilla and chocolate sugar scrub that smells like one of the hari raya cookies! It has jojoba oil to moisturise the lips after scrubbing away the flakes. They say that you can lick the sugar scrub off after using but I prefer to wipe off instead haha. I only used it once but I must say it is indeed moisturising! Probably one of my favourite things to use to exfoliate my lips haha.

Next is the Colour Supplements. It is actually one of the few things in Lush that is actually make up! I got the tone in dark yellow because I'm in the NC range in MAC! If you are in the NW range, the pink shades would suit you better! Or if you're really really light skinned/pale, shade Jackie Oats is the lightest shade! I used it once, as a tinted moisturiser (one pump of moisturiser and a portion of CS) and I love it! I like the finish when I didn't set with powder, quite a glow to the skin! I didn't really look out on the longevity of it though, oops.

The body butter I bought is called Buffy. I had to cut it up into four as it melts fast in the shower. These require to be refrigerated so it doesn't go bad or melt away. I am okay with the smell. Kind of herbal but when I already used it on my body, I don't fancy the smell at all! I thought that maybe because it reacted to my skin's natural oils or that I got a bad one. It is sad about the smell because I truly LOVE how this product works! I love the exfoliating bits even better than The Body Shop's Satsuma Body Polish. It also moisturises your legs/body so you don't have to moisturise after! But don't go too overboard with the number of times you put it on your skin as it may get a little greasy for you! I'll probably get the other body butters next time but now I'll have to use Buffy up as I love the effect too much that I can forgive the smell.

Last but not least, my favourite of this haul, Mask of Magnaminty! Seriously this mask is the best feeling ever! So refreshing! It feels minty and cooling when in contact with the skin, and when it dries and you have to wash off, it acts as an exfoliator! The sm

ell of it is okay to me, because I don't really like mint and methol smelling stuff, it's just me haha. After washing off the mask with warm water, my skins feels so smooth oh god I want to cry. The smooth effect lasts the whole day but with continous usage, the skin texture would hopefully be better!

If you're new to Lush and want to get something, get the Mask of Magnaminty! Must try that mask! But buy the smaller size version first for all the Lush products. It is because these products are homemade with natural ingredients and lesser preservatives, their shelf live are shorter than most products there in the market. These stickers that should you the person who made it and the date it was made and expire are a cute touch I must say.

I'm pretty happy with this haul and can't wait to purchase more of their stuff like the solid shampoo, conditioners and their cleansers! I'll probably convert everything I use to Lush because of the fact that they are freshly made and are mostly natural! Well if only I had a bath tub so I could try their bath bombs and bubble bars!

Preview of my next haul post!

Hope all is well.

As long as I have you

I prefer the live version than the studio version.

At 1:45 , the way he turns back to his wife (tambourine player)

and smiled and sings "As long as I have you"

oh god I just want to cry, it's not possible to find someone like that, haha.

I'm gonna make a trip to the supermarket tomorrow.

We're having a potluck at Liling's and I'm making sandwiches!

Solestruck haven't replied my email and I'm just waiting in agony.

Their customer service is superb though, I like the warmth you feel

when they reply you.

So eggcited for the potluck!

And my Lush haul would probably be after this post!

Unboxing

I picked up the camera today...

I'm clueless on how it works again, oh well, got to learn again or something.

I'm also clueless on editing photos, now that photoshop is gone after we reboot the PC.

So everything here is raw hehe, even the dslr is not in tip top condition...

The holidays has started for me and all I have to worry about is

how I'm going to spend my time and manage my finances.

A few days before our last presentation, black friday sales were crazy at solestruck!

Some of my classmates and I ordered shoes as the deals were so damn great.

I bought two shoes, Lana and Tardy. They are in two different mail packages.

So my package came today and after I got home, I went to unbox the huge parcel.

So cute! They gave a band aid for Hannah's shoes!

I have a few posts in plan, like my collective Lush haul and also

the Jeffrey Campbell shoes that I bought.

I still haven't collect my Lanas from Liling, so after I collect it

expect picture heavy posts!

I might also do a collective december haul post, since all the sales are in december!

I love writing about hauls! It's not about showing off, but a documentation of

what my interest is at that point of time. (to me!)

Right now, I'm into bath and body products, all thanks to Lush!

I hope the rest of december would

be great and that I'll start

the (school) year

on a high

note.

I need to finish this report by today.

The progress of my ceramics report is slow...

I have so much to do and I hate doing VE work

but the assessment for that is next week, fuckkkkkk.

I should really stop using profanities, it's a bad habit but I can't help it.

Everything is like fuck man I hate the workload.

I do like this course really, it's just that... sighhhhhhhh.

I've been liking this lately lately latelyyyyyyyyy

Don't you know, Don't you know
You're making me blue
Baby, baby, say it isn't, say it isn't true

x.

I've missed blogging.

It's been three months since school officially started.

The assessment period is ongoing. I've been feeling like fuck nowadays.

I mean me and my schoolmates joke around and we laugh and stuff but sometimes

there's this little voice at the back of your mind that tells you something else.

I don't even know what I'm missing, it's frustrating.

On a lighter note, I want to talk about the influence L.A. Noire had on me.

Even though I agree that it is not as action-packed as most free roam games,

it's rich narrative and atmosphere made up for it.

L.A. Noire is clearly a period piece that is very well executed with its costume design,

remake of the streets in LA itself and even the hair and makeup.

I think the Havok engine plays a big part in this game, kudos to that!

This might be the game of the year for me, I've been obsessing with it for months.

Bold statement I must say, as I still haven't get to feel AC: Revelations yet...

Anyway, let me sign off with my favourite character in L.A. Noire. Calling every female he sees "Princess" is such a gentlemen move...

kelso kelso!
