yes i know i haven’t blogged in like, ten thousand years and so on.. but i’m a busy working mother of two struggling with real-life issues like the secretly-increasing cost of public transport, and elbowing my way into the increasingly crowded train (a result of our secretly increasing adult population) and fun stuff like that :’D
so i shall be lazy and just post pictures about the things which i have been buying recently X’D
OPI PoTC Collection
L to R: Planks a lot, Sparrow me the drama, Steady as she rose, Mermaid’s tears, Stranger tides, Skull & Glossbones (how awesome is this name?!)
i’m glad i bought the full-sized versions of steady as she rose and mermaid’s tears cos i really need another grey-purplish nude colour that reminds me of sick people and green nails reminds me of the undead. :’D
OPI Princess minis
L to R: Bubble Bath, Alpine Snow, Pinking of you, RapiDry Top Coat
erm, i haven’t really tried this set yet.. looks too sweet.. *rolls eyes*
my latest OPI haul <3
L to R: Nail envy in Matte, So many clowns.. So little time, Miso happy with this color, Dulce de Leche, Tickle My Francey.
nail envy matte is my desperate attempt to save my peeling and dying nails. why are my nails peeling and dying? because my itchy fingers went to peel off the gel polish -___-
anyway, i love my nail envy matte and will definitely repurchase it again because well.. it looks like you’re not wearing any polish since it dries off matte.. NICE! perfect for manly men too *winks*
the 4 colours are various shades of nudes and if you’ve known me for more than ten years you’ll definitely know my obsession with nude nail polish and nude lipsticks since my teens.. well.. let’s just say that i haven’t really outgrown it.. and i am happy with ALL the colours in this haul! yay!
P&J Manhattan Collection
recently i attended a beauty workshop that revealed a very shocking truth — cool colours are actually more suitable for my skin tone. the second shock came when the course instructor reviewed my makeup and told me that nothing i had was suitable for me.
erm… to speak the truth i was actually quite happy to have an excuse to buy new makeup!
it was about time i bought myself a new lipstick too. i vaguely remember the last time i applied lipgloss was on my wedding day..
lipstick (in case u can't tell..)
erm… nude lipstick.. the difference between this and the other ones i have is that my lips will not rot after applying this since this has not been kept in my handbag/closet for the last x years..
palette of 5 colors!
i love love love this palette! i think only 3 colors are considered “cool” but dun care lah! of the 3 palettes released for the Manhattan collection, this is the most wearable 
and i’m glad i went today because i managed to snag the last box!
freebies!
i also got these freebies.. will be giving the red lipstick to my mum so if you’re hoping to see me wearing RED lipstick to work or to our pedicure or to our bitching sessions, i’m really sorry.. 
nail polish (in case it's not obvious..)
i had 3 choices for the nail polish, one was a white for doing french tips and the other was a shimmery nude. since i already have 2 white polish i wasn’t too keen on the white one. i didn’t even consider the shimmery nude because i vaguely remember owning 2 identical colours.. HAHA! how tragic if i were to come home and then realize that it is something i already have?
so i chose the safest color.. dark grey with glitter. nice :’)
GWPs
frankly speaking, i am quite disappointed with the GWPs. i thought the prints would be brighter :’(
the colours look rather muted irl and i think a minimum purchase of $160 just to get a small makeup pouch and card case is a bit too much..
GWP pouch
i guess you can tell that i don’t really like the pouch, cos i didn’t even bother to fluff it out nicely.. oh well..
i also did some sewing a few weeks ago.. 人就是犯贱的, i remember i actually sewed the most during periods when i needed to rest.. in fact, i was so siao-on that i actually moved the sewing machine out onto the dining table and sewed away because i didn’t want to disturb the maid..
crapshit it’s almost tomorrow already.. goodnight folks!
