Sloth & Spending

Today I went out to MBK and got more toothpaste (I don't remember toothpaste running out this quickly), shampoo (L'Oreal Elseve -- the new one with Royal Jelly) and hair colour (I got Palty in Orange Biscuit at Platinum because the ones at MBK were ten baht more expensive -*-). I also ran into a shoe trap at Platinum and picked up a pair of white snakeskin heels.

I was also tempted by the Lotree, Beauty Credit and Innisfree powders (there was no Etude or Skinfood in sight) but the BC case doesn't cut it for me and Innisfree is so hard to find online -- reviews, I mean. But their cases are quite pretty. All pearly-like. So maybe when I get my paycheck from my translation job I might treat myself a bit. I might even get the Etude BB pact too.

I found a cheap potential buy today: Revlon Beyond Natural cream lip gloss. I'm interested in the peach one. Only 200 baht! That's cheaper than Maybelline lip gloss! ... Okay those are the prices at Boots at least, maybe Watsons is cheaper (as it usually is).

Etude and Canmake both have lip concealers, however. Lip concealers can be used for a nude lip look.

Then there's the MM Honey Pump gloss. I doubt they're as much value for money as the Revlon though -- the latter has about 12 or 13 ml in the tube.

Oh today I used MM Lash Expander Frame Plus on its own -- no Lash Bone. I also curled my lashes prior to application, but somewhat clumsily, as I didn't want to wreck the pink and and peach OP eyeshadows and Navy In2it liner I had on. (Note to self: don't wear very similar lip, cheek and eye colours again -- I had on the Bloom Amour gloss and the Gino Sugar Peach blusher.) Somehow I think either Lash Expander looks better on its own without the help of eyelash curler, or it just looks better with the help of Lash Bone. Gotta test that out later. Haven't tried curling before Lash Bone then mascara yet.

P.S. Just tried adding up known and estimated prices of Etude BB pact, Lotree, Innisfree and Beauty Credit. I know the Etude at Rabbo is 500 baht but I didn't see any at the shop today -- maybe I just need to ask -- but if they don't have it and I really want it, I either have to wait till they have it or go buy it at the Etude House where it's more expensive. I know the Lotree is 750. I don't know the prices of the BC and Innisfree but I know the BC at Watsons is like 888 baht -- and the cashier said something like, "This powder is about 900 baht at the official shop." Whatever the case, the Lotree alone is almost a thousand baht already.

I also saw the black butterfly Anna Sui case at Platinum today but I wasn't really tempted. There are prettier cases than that around.

P.P.S. I still wanna try Mistine Debutant. I didn't see it at Platinum although I saw Mistine Diamond there. Maybe at MBK the stalls have it but I overlooked it.

Hunters & Collectors and the Return of Lash Gorgeous Wing and Lash Bone

Today I went on the hunt around my area of Bangkok, looking at the Watsons stores and asking if they have the fuchsia ZA case. None of them do T^T So I'm gonna have to ask my Mum to look around my home town for it. Hopefully she finds it! *fingers crossed*

Today I went back to wearing Lash Bone with Lash Gorgeous Wing on top -- this time without using the eyelash curler at all. It's a success! Lash Bone makes my lashes curl, fan out beautifully, and even seems to lengthen them too! Lash Gorgeous Wing visibly makes my lashes even longer (my lower lashes are especially noticeable) and I can even see the short fibres sticking onto my lashes the way the advertisement says they would!

However, some of the short fibres come off onto my eyelids or my cheeks. A couple of them get in my eyes and that's really unpleasant if you have to endure it all day. Maybe next time MM will make a stickier mascara formula or something, to make sure the short fibres don't come off.

Despite other people's negative reviews of Lash Gorgeous Wing, I think I will buy it again, but in black, when this brown one runs out. It can be my "natural look" mascara whereas the Lash Enamel Glamour Neo (or the Fasio, even) can be my "dramatic look" ones.

As for school tomorrow ... hmm ... I don't know, maybe I'll go with the Fasio, because I just bought some red heels and I want to wear them tomorrow.

Oh -- and I think this is the last time I'm getting brown mascara. As opposed to blue mascara, I think it makes my eyes look even more red and tired -*-

As for whether I'll get that blue Fasio mascara ... I'll wait until the occasion arises to buy it, i.e. going to the Chinese New Year buffet, where I plan to wear my aqua-green Chinese-looking top. And if we don't go ... I'll wait until I get my ZA case first ... or until Fasio have another sale ... or until the Fasio Lash Style Perfector plus glitter mascara pack is almost sold out -*-

P.S. Just tried the eyelash curler on my lashes after a whole afternoon and evening of wearing the MM mascaras out in the city. It works! A couple of fibres come off onto the curler, but the lashes don't clump. Again, a good idea to wait until the mascara is completely dry before trying to curl your lashes with a curler.
