Boots Beauty Buzz @ Chamchuri Square

I went to eat at BKK Grill at Chamchuri Square today after class. I ordered the pork chop steak with honey sauce and instead got just the pork chop steak -*- (Yesterday I ordered a small Gloria Jeans coffee and got a regular instead -*-)

Afterwards, for lack of a Watsons, I went to look at the Boots branch instead. They're having a Chinese New Year sale. Lots of their house brand cosmetics are retailling at reduced prices. I spent a few minutes checking out their makeup, especially.

Boots' 17 brand makeup now has a pressed mineral foundation powder compact. It's selling for about 159 baht at the moment. Interesting. I don't really like the colour of the compact, but the idea of a cheap pressed mineral foundation powder is tempting. I don't know what SPF it is though -- it says it's got sun protection but doesn't say how much. And I only saw three colours there: Natural, Biscuit, and Honey. Natural, the lightest one, looks too dark for me!

Boots' No7 brand makeup has a wide range of mascaras and they're selling at about 199 each at the moment. They have a "Brown/Black" colour that's sort of tempting -- it's not as clearly brown as the MM Lash Gorgeous Wing -- in fact, it's almost black. But then I remembered I'm not gonna buy brown mascara any more. They didn't have any testers for the blue mascara though (called Navy) so I don't know what that colour's like.

Also, the Boots cucumber skincare range (apart from having a 75-baht moisturising cream) has some makeup cleansing wipes -- 10 for like 49 baht and 30 for like 69 baht. Very interesting. Would be useful for nights when I'm too lazy to wash my face. (Which is miserably often.)

Oh -- today I wore the Lash Bone with Lash Enamel Glamour Neo. The difference in impact between the two MMs and the Fasio is colossal. My MM lashes are probably twice as noticeable as with the Fasio. And of course, no panda eyes. I can also curl the lashes after the mascara is completely dry, but they have more tendency to clump together than with the Fasio.

Don't know what I'm gonna wear tomorrow. I need to use up my Lash Gorgeous Wing. Too bad brown makes my eyes look tireder.

I saw some ads for Maxim fashion contact lenses at an optometrist's too. I'm a bit tempted because their blue contacts look quite clear and natural. But I know that using contacts means I also have to clean them and artificially hydrate (lubricate??) my eyes, incurring more costs. And I'm so poor right now. Too many good meals and expensive coffee. Ah I miss Starbucks! They always smell so inviting whenever I walk by!

Oh and I re-did my face with the Etude Dream On today. I think neither it or the Mistine Platinum look much too light for my complexion any more. Either I'm paler or something about the powder(s) changed.

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.
