Over Blushed?

I don’t like to put on my make up in my room. The quoizel lighting of my room is too dim for me to judge if I have over done with my makeup. I tend to put on more colors or deepen my blusher when I’m putting on make up with the dim lights on. If I put on my make up in the bathroom, which has a white fluorescent light, my makeup will look more natural and so much better.

On top of that, the best way of testing if a new makeup suits you is put it on your face. Then walk out from the shopping mall and check the color under broad day light. If you look good with it, most probably, the color suit you. But if you look too pale, especially for foundation, get a darker tone, and vice versa. However, how many of us are doing this? :P

Caring for My Nails

I haven’t been for medicure and pedicure for more than a month. I think I will get myself an appointment the latest by next week, before I am flying off to Bali. But in the mean time, I have to take good care of my nails by myself. I don’t have strong nails so I need to use the strengthener from OPI. It comes with a set, together with the essential oil for nails when I got them during a promotion.

Frankly, I don’t put the nail polisher by myself most of the time because I can’t type when I am waiting for the nails to be dry. Once, I spoiled my nails at 2am when I was cleaning up my kid’s jigsaw puzzle and that really pissed me off. So, I only apply top coat by myself, and do the color at the nail salon. I don’t know why, it’s less lightly to be scratched when she applys the color for me.

So, I better give her a call tomorrow. At the same time, I’ll be checking out the new summer collection too!
