Colour me cute!

In case anyone's looking for a Christmas present for me. XD Nah, just for me to keep track of, my wishlist at the moment is: - Jill Stuart Jelly Eye Color N in either 02, 10 or 13 (can't decide yet, but definitely neutral colours) - Jill Stuart Mix Blush Compact in 11 Rose Fairy - Jill Stuart Nail Lacquer N in 19 Treasure Box (these wishes alone will easily cost me 100€ >.<) - Anna Sui Eye Color #700 - Lavshuca Star Decoration Eyes BR-2 - Lavshuca Star Glow Rouge RS-2 -  Majolica Majorca Cheek Color in PK333 Berry Pink - Coffret d'Or Bright Up Rouge Long Keep in PK-260 ? - Maquillage Lasting Perfect Rouge RS347 ? (that looks a lot darker on my sample card and on my lips than here ) (I was eyeing Maquillage's new lip product, and also the high ranking Aube one, but I simply do not like liquid lipsticks - for some reason, they always look overdone on me. Although Coffret d'Or's Essence Stay Rouge looks really good here , especially RD-...

(Shouldn't that be Blemish solutions , btw? It's like people saying they're doing something "against anti-aging". Huh?) pic taken from Clinique.de So I was rather fed up with my skin for quite some time, specifically after I went off the pill (which I had only taken for a year) last summer. Nothing really helped, and lately, my skin was horribly itchy and irritated. I tried using basic care and proper hydration to cure it, but it failed. So when Clinique re-issued its trial kits for 9€, I was sold. The kit from the Anti-Blemish range includes: Anti-Blemish Solutions Cleansing Bar 50 g Anti-Blemish Clarifying Lotion 60ml Anti-Blemish Solutions Clearing Moisturizer 30ml The SA told me that the kit should last for about 3 weeks. I've been using it for 4 weeks now, and have only run out of the lotion last week. The moisturizer is about to finish now, and the soap is still pretty big and I estimate it might last another two to three months .(I bought a...

(Ugh, I woke up with severely peeling skin due to the Clinique stuff. >.<) Anyway, since you'll have to wait a little longer for the next review(s), I thought it's time to tell you something about who's blog you're reading here anyway. Not the usual "I'm 22, a taurus and have almost finished my bachelor in Japanese studies and want to be a teacher after that" stuff, but a lot more random. xD 1. I love turtles . Almost everything I own sports at least one turtle on it (except for my clothes - although I do have a few turtle shirts.) I do not own an actual living turtle, though. 2. Harry Potter is awesome - Twilight makes me want to barf. Don't even get me started on the whole portrayal of abusive relationships as true love. 3. I am a Gleek . And yes, the show makes no sense, but if you take it like that, it's so much fun. Oh, how I miss my choir days... (If you want to know which character I identify with most, I'd have to say Rac...

Since I handed in my essay yesterday (and it seems like my classmates haven't yet - what did I pressure myself for? -.-), I decided to reward myself and ended up buying my very first Jill Stuart item, the limited Charming Lily Blush Blossom (#07) I had spotted in Gooddealer.com! It's quite expensive, almost 44€, but I don't really have any nice blush apart from the two Mix Color Cheeks by Lavshuca, and while those are incredibly travel-friendly, I wanted something to put on my (not yet existent) vanity table. xD (I am eyeing the Mix Blush Compact in #11,Rose Fairy, too. (You probably don't know it, but apart from my cosmetics addiction, I am also a total geek and at the moment writing a Pokémon story about two sisters named Rose and Lily. xD Yes, I know that I'm 22 - but come on, don't you sometimes wish Pokémon - or Harry Potter - were real?) I also want one of her eye jellys, probably #13 Antique Chiffon. <3 Anyway, once I get the blush, I will review it,...

One month, to be exact. I apologize! >.< I was writing an essay for university (my last one - now there's only the B.A. thesis left!) and just handed it in yesterday. Phew. ^^; Also, my skin was acting up, so I decided to stop experimenting and simplify my routine. Luckily, Clinique had their trial kits on offer, and I snagged one from the Anti Blemish line for only 9€. (^.^)/ So far, it really has helped, but I will test for a bit longer until I give you guys my final opinion. (And even if it helps at first, I've had products I loved before give me bad results after a while. Knocking on wood here, really.) As for the BB cream post I owe you: Let me keep it short: - Hanskin Mineral Magic BB: became my new under eye concealer xD - BRTC Blemish Recover Balm: made my skin itch and break up - I guess I am indeed allergic to tea tree oil - Holika Holika Petit Watery BB Cream: nice, but simply too dark I'll keep you updated with the Clinique stuff, and will also ...
