It was a month ago

...I took all these pictures.

Greetings! These last two months had been hectic and draining for me, mentally and physically. It all had to do with work but I won't 'blame' it on them. Instead, I'd like to thank everyone for the opportunity that had been given to me. Despite the seemingly endless workloads and the increasing night where I found myself awake longer than necessary, I managed to find comfort, either from people around me or small thing such as delicious food (or your favorite artist announcing their solo album yass).

A lovely friend from when I was staying in Japan came to my country for a study until December, and despite how much I wanted to spend more time with here, a meeting once in a month is already a blessing for me. She's such a kind and precious girl who had helped me a lot during my stay back then. She also taught me how to skate and said I might have a knack for it; yes, that was my first time skating.

It is through something like this; meeting friend and having a good time, just talking, forgetting depressing thought and having lovely time overall, that I gain my comfort from. I love being alone or having my own space and time but sometimes (or, lately), I feel like I need a company, it doesn't have to be two, just one, who's willing to pour all their attention to me and let me do the same to them.

This is getting into depressive note very fast w I apologize. On the brighter side, as I mentioned above, my favorite singer released his (2nd) solo album and it's absolutely glorious! I'd love to talk about it on another post.

Oh, don't forget to check lovely Amez's beauty blog 「blingvoyage,」which I sort of run together with her! See you next time!

Some things beauty

Old photography dump from 2013~2014. I'm (still) in love with fuzzy feeling pictures. Believe it or not, I have not use any of Jill Stuart's sample and it's filling my cabinet.

Loving lately

Greetings! Days are going slowly lately and I'm trying to stay dehydrated albeit failing miserably. Work is as hectic as ever and despite my (almost) lack of holiday, I managed to have a (very short) me and time when I purchased two of three products pictured above. Mac lipstick in Cosmo has been my go to lipstick, replacing Brave Red from same brand. The color is very natural and goes well with everything, I'd say this is one of those 'no fuss' and 'foolproof'' product. The only downside is, my sahara excuse of lips find this a tad bit drying. I stopped using this for a while and go with my Dior Addict Lipglow, I'm in dire need of moisture right now (ugh, chapped lips).

Mac Select Sheer in NC20 is the second thing I bought, I didn't intend to buy this but this purchase is justified since my Bobbi Brown Pressed Loose Powder already has a big hole in it (read; I've hit the pan). I haven't try this one at all because I haven't take any picture of it! (excuse me).

Bobbi Brown Blush in Nectar has been the only blush I'm using since I purchased it early January this year, and yet, it hasn't hit the pan at all. It's very natural and beautiful hue of warm pink that flatters my complexion. The staying power is insane, I tell you, I wore this around 6 in the morning and when I left the office at 6 in the afternoon, it's still there (fading, but it's still there). It also gives faint, beautiful glow despite being matte, I can say I have no intention of buying any other blush thanks to this baby.

The lipstick and the blush are so beautiful when worn together, since I haven't try the powder, I cannot say anything at all but from what I've read, I will probably love it as well.

See you next time, folks!
