Hi guys!

Back when I had posted my Lush Sample haul blog entries (Entry #1, Entry #2) I briefly described the scents of some of the items I had received. Not all though because I felt it might be too wordy but I did promise that I would elaborate on their scents when I did a video Lush Sample Haul video - and so here it is!

Due to this being a collective sample haul and me having a lot to say (as usual), this became a 2 parter and here are the 2 parts. I had uploaded part 1 earlier in the week so some of you might have caught it already. I had just put part 2 up, so here it is on my blog as well!

A super quick update just because I have been gone for almost a week. Not entirely, it's about 5 days but that is quite a while.

I have been rather busy with school assignments. As mentioned, this is my final school term (IN MY ENTIRE LIFE! *hopefully*) so I doubt the workload will get lighter anytime soon. On the contrary I think it might get heavier as deadlines approach so it would be even harder to update this space in future. I must apologize again and thank you guys once more for sticking with my inactivity.

I miss being able to check onsugar updates every couple hours, surf makeup blogs for awhile between 'breaks' while I did homework. Now it's full steam ahead and when I'm not doing homework I'm often catching up on sleep. Vicious cycle ):

I do however want to give an honorable mention to this one product - Acne Clear.

Usually in such hectic periods my skin would break out real bad and it's impossible to prevent that, but this product is keeping everything under control. I don't have photographic documentation (because I think photographing zits and stuff is quite scary) but I can truly testify that it works. My skin has cleared up from the previous acne battle it was facing and now it's even fighting acne from this current lifestyle. Truly a miracle product for me - and for only S$3.95!

This isn't exactly a review, Mya had done a pretty good review of it here. My post is more of a 'it has worked on me!' testimony. (:

Though one personal feedback: I didn't find it drying on my skin at all and the active ingredient is Sulphur, for those who are wondering. I find Sulphur seems to be the most potent one in the acne field.

So yeap that's my little update and stuff. Thank you so much for reading!

A pretty massive post here. Well not quite but I just have a couple things I want to address/go through. It sounds all formal but really it isn't.

So the holidays are over and school had just started for me which is ridiculous. It felt like my holidays had just started and now it's over, but doesn't that always happen. Here's a quick EOTD I did for school today using the Elizabeth Arden Palette I had received from my goodie bag (you can read about here).

To jog your memory, it's this palette:

And here are the colors:

I used all the eyeshadow shades but Lagoon, so yes it's yet another neutral eye.
Can't help it, I love my browns (:

Just eyeshots today, it was a wee bit early for full face shots and I didn't have much time to snap photos. Though I know I had on Sunlight Rays as a cheek highlight. I didn't use the blush from here.

Product Used:
EYES
- Urban Decay Primer Potion
- Elizabeth Arden Sunlit Bronze Beauty Kit (eyeshadows minus Lagoon)
- MAC Powerpoint Liner in Engraved
- Majolica Majorca Lash Enamel Glamour Neo

I find that the eyeshadows blended really well into each other to form a smooth gradient of color. It's probably odd describing it that way but you know how some shadows take a bit of work to blend seamlessly into each other, I didn't have that problem with this. The colors weren't the most pigmented, but were surely buildable and had a nice wearable intensity to it. Definitely a product I'll reach for when doing makeup for school days!

Also, a really quick update: As you know, school's back and as I had mentioned probably a billion times, this is my last school term (ever in my entire life, I hope) so I will be extremely caught up with finishing my final projects and assignments. Since this is my final term, I feel I should commit more time and energy and give it my all, so I might not have enough time on my hands to update my youtube and blog regularly.

With that said, my youtube and blog would be on a semi-MIA status in terms of updates. I might still post every now and then because I can't completely cut blogging and youtube-ing out, but I'll update sporadically. I'll still lurk around and read your blogs, but just not be able to update mine as much. I'm truly sorry for pulling this MIA-ish stunt, but it's a little phase I have to go through. I hope you guys can understand and thank you for all the support thus far! (:

It's not a very longe change though, I'll (hopefully!) graduate end-June so I'll be back in full force in July (:

Last but not least a quick little skincare haul from Watsons today.

I picked up the Acne medication that Mya (heavenlygorgeous) had recently reviewed.

I have been breaking out and I predict that I will continue to with the lack of sleep so I hope this can work it's magic on me. Plus it's only S$3.95, can't go wrong with that. The active ingredient is Sulphur, which is a rather known acne medication, one of the stronger ones too so there's only 4% of that in here. I made sure to check in case it's the deadly Benzoyl Peroxide (which I am allergic to).

So that is all! I know for sure I'll have an entry coming up either this Friday or this weekend, but that aside I'm not sure of my blogging schedules.
Hope that phase is alright with you guys, and thank you so much reading!
