TGIF, ladies! How’s the week been treating you? Looking forward to the weekend? I know I am. I’m looking forward to a movie, or maybe just hang out at IKEA (oh yeah, I could spend all day there). I’m definitely keeping my fingers crossed for good weather.

No poll for today, but here’s a question for you. Amongst all the makeup that you have, which item did you regret buying? I’m sure we all have our makeup regrets once in a while.

I actually have quite a lot of purchase regrets (talk about throwing money away, huh?), but I’ll just state one for now. Mine would be the CoverGirl Lash Blast Mascara.

The brush is simply too big, and whenever I tried applying it on my lashes, the huge brush ended up smudging the lids. ‘Tis a pity, because I’ve read good reviews about this mascara. I guess this is more catered to those with big eyes and long lashes. Or maybe just with a much steadier hand.

I don’t know if anyone would want to take this off my hands. I’ve actually only used it twice (I gave it another chance, but failed). Sigh. What a waste.

What’s your makeup purchase mistake and why? Are you still using it, or have you given it away/chucked it? Would love to know I’m not the only one who’s made bad choices once in a while 🙂

Have a good weekend for now!

For many years, I’ve been doing a lousy job at applying body moisturisers. The problem with applying body lotion before I sleep is that I always forget to do so. I’d be too doggone lazy to pick up the jar of body moisturiser, telling myself “Ah well, I’ll do it tomorrow”. Hence the horrid, dry, snake-like skin on my legs 🙁

Do you know that the best time to apply body moisturiser is right after your shower, once you’ve towelled yourself off? By applying your body lotion right after your shower, when your skin is still moist, it helps to lock in the moisture from the water into your skin.

Just to make sure I remember to do so, instead of putting my body lotion/cream in the room, on my dresser, I left it in the bathroom instead. Right on the counter top near the basin where I can see it, in my line of sight when I come out of the shower. This way, I make sure that I HAVE to put it on before the clothes. I started doing that a year ago, and now it has become a part of my religious skincare routine.

Thanks to the new routine, my skin has improved significantly, and I’m proud to say, no more scaly skin for me 😀

Do give it a go, and see if it works for you too.

Good luck!
