here are some of my recent hauls from drugstores/flea markets: eyebrow hair razor got this at Fairprice for S$5.90. useful if you need to get rid of very short strands of brow hair that's hard to pull out with a tweezer. tweezers i never really owned one ever so i thought i'd finally purchase one. am not really good at fixing my brows yet, but how can i practice if i don't have tools? i hope this'll help me. got this at Watsons but i forgot for how much... around S$10? but definitely not over S$15. it's sleek, lightweight and matte - i like it! here's hoping to getting it to good and habitual use hehe. btw, i plan to use this when the brow hair is too short to be cut by a brow scissor. (remember this??? i use it when my brows have grown long and it's a bit awkward to pull hairs off one by one.) OPI Ink saw a flea market at Youth Park (Scape) in Orchard last Sunday. i was drawn to a hobo skirt initially but my heart skipped when i saw this shade from a nearby...

hey ladies, how are you all doing? i hope you haven't forgotten me yet hehe. anyhoo, just wanted to share with you all how i clean my makeup brushes. i also took this opportunity to play with editing a video in hope that i can produce better videos in the future, especially makeup tutorials. in case you can't view the video, all i did was wash my brushes with a bar of soap instead of the usual brush cleansers. some of you may find it hard to believe it cleanses but it does, well for me it works. if you try it and it works for you, i hope you are as satisfied with it as i am! :) here are the end results: squeaky clean bristles! hope what i've shared made sense to most of you, especially those with a tight makeup budget. enjoy your day!

i really should be getting more eye brushes. i wasn't able to put eye makeup again because my eye brushes aren't all washed up yet. *sigh* it doesn't matter right because i can still show off something - lip color! today, i decided to play with one of the favorite pink lippies i have, Laura Mercier Creme Lip Colour Hydrangea. please excuse my lower lip, i think the skin's a bit chafed. it's a pretty, cool strawberry pink shade. on another note, i know i'm going on and on about my contest but i promise i will announce it soon! please don't get tired of watching out for it hehe.
