I didn't plan to shop today but I had get my son a new pair of shoes for his cubs camping. However, as we were passing Boots, I've noticed that they were having many new offers such as if you spend over £15, you'll get 10 points for every £1. I really am a sucker when it comes to collecting points on my advantage card (last year, I got 2 bottles of perfume, an Armani Diamond and Burberry London from my advantage points [£160 worth altogether]) so I went it so see what I can get to take advantage of the offer. My first stop was Clinique and they were doing extra 500 points (£5 worth point) for every purchase of 2 or items so I bought 2 eyeliners in black diamond. I've spent £20 on my Clinique eyeliners but gained £7 on my advantage card. Cool eh! Then I've realized that I had a £5 worth of voucher on a few skin care product including Olay regenerist so I bought a couple (they're normally £7.50 but because of my vouchers, they've only cost me £2.50 each... Really great deal! See? I'm learning! Do they do things like that in the PI?
These were my recent purchases... more make up, I know and you might be wondering what's the crystal jar is fo... you'll see very shortly!
I've been reading great feedback on GOSH cosmetic. Apparently, they're like identical to MAC but 50% cheaper. Since I have sensitive skin, I've never thought of trying this product until now. When I went to to counter, everything looked very much of MAC make-up except for the name of course. The texture of the brushes are similar to MAC as well. I'll find out if they do the same job when I try them eventually. I've just washed them are left to dry at the moment.

GOSH blusher brush
Foundation brush
Revlon Quad Eyeshadow with eyeliner gift (more gift!)
My Clinique favourite!
Now, I've been thinking of ways to store my brushes when I'm not using them as they tend to collect dust when left sitting on my dressing table. I saw this one in House of Fraser and I thought.. that'll do the job. I don't know what's this jar suppose to be but it's going to be my brush container ha ha ha!
I had to re-arrange my dressing table because my make up train case needed a space. Again, I didn't know what to do and came up with this. Not sure about it at the moment... but that'll do for now :)
Yep! Even my dressing table is such a diva with photos ha ha ha!
I like to keep it clean and tidy. I dust every single thing on my dressing table twice a week. Yes, even lipsticks... I dust them one by one. I sit there for like an hour to clean this area ha ha ha!
This is how my dressing table look like when I'm doing my make up ha ha ha!
My precious brushes (old ones) drying up after being washed. I wash my brushes every 3 days... what about you? Sometimes every two days but my concealer and foundation brushes, I wash them every efter use that's why I've got few of them.
TTFN!
Having clear eyes does make the difference. My secret? Optrex for dry eyes but my ophthalmologist told me that any lubricating eye drops will do the job. I can't use ordinary eye drops because I've got dry eyes and when I don't use one, my eyes tend to feel gritty by mid morning as well as horrible redness.
I thought, I'd try these Clinique mineral compact make up. They're SPF 15 as well so they'll be great for summer. The shop assistant also gave me a sample lipgloss, which are fab!
Never used QVS stuff but since they were cheap enough, I thought, I might as well give them a try
Blusher brush
Foundation brush (turned out to be quite nice)
Retractable blush blusher, which is great for my on the go make up bag
More GOSH brushes (They're absolutely fabulous!) and I thought, I'd try the blusher as well and a couple of eyeliners (They really are nice)
More L'Occitane pampering potions with samples
I just love the way they box them
L'Occitane luxurious bath foam
L'Occitane hand bar soap with matching soap dish
