Hello. These two buddies accompanied me for the late afternoon in school. Nearly forgot the hand up my assignment today which is always a bother. Thank god I already had it done long ago, if not I could kiss my grades goodbye.
I can't wait to go on a holiday. To anywhere is good enough. But the thing is, I wish I know where I'm going. Seriously. I hear of all my friends' holiday trips and I envy. One of them is going to the Gold Coast+ Adelaide+ Sydney + skiing in Melbourne. Sighhh. Holidays. I kinda feel like finding a job as well. Been snooping around some forums. So the plan is, after my finals, I would start to send in resumes and see whether people are willing to hire me.
I find people who could work and study at the same time to be really capable. I feel like dying even though I'm just going through full time studies. I give my applause to people who could juggle both at the same time.
My skin been really terrible lately. Well, to be exact, ever since I got back to Brissy. I doubt its the weather though. I blame it on my irregular sleeping habits nowadays. I feel like trying out other skincare line/products that the internet world has been raving for quite some time.
One of them being:
Mario Badescu

Especially their Drying Lotion which claims to dry out pimples and whiteheads overnight.
And the second skincare line would be:
Dermalogica
This was the brand which my decade long bestfriend been raving about. She has been going on and on trying to convince me to try their product and I trust her cause she is currently in the beauty industry + she's my bestfriend. So, she never wants the worse for me.
Thus, bringing me to a dilemma. Mario Badescu VS. Demalogica. Both of which has really good reviews and both around the same price range. Acne/Pimples/Blemishes or whatever you want to call them has always been a problem for me ever since puberty started. I used to think that I had really good skin (that was ofcourse when I was in primary school), and I always told my mom how smooth my skin is. Then BOOM! Puberty hits and things were never the same again.
I've used quite a lot of different brands ranging from drugstore to counter brands but I never really found one that has really cleared my skin up. Currently using the laneige sensitive skin range, and HONESTLY SPEAKING, IT DOES NOT HELP ME IN ANYWAY AT ALL. Thus, the huge desire to switch my skincare regime.
However, the thing about reading reviews up in the internet is that... products get overhyped so much that, its hard to tell whether people are just following the hype and saying that its FANTASTIC or, does the product really live up to the hype. That was what happened when I tried Laneige. Everyone was raving about how laneige is good for asian skin types and all. But truth to be told, their products stings the hell out of me, and I hate it. It was only later that I was told that I was using their normal skincare line(the one in the blue bottle) and it contains alcohol. With my sensitive + oily + acne-prone skin condition, it just aggravates my pimples:( My mom helped me buy the products, so I wasn't there with her when the stuff was bought. Thus, not blaming anyone for it because I wasn't present and no one is really sure how was my skin condition. Before using Laneige, my acne was concentrated on the cheek area, but now..... it has spread all over the face, little bumps on my forehead(which never happen even when I had really thick bangs) , and tons and tons and scaring at my chin area. Sighhh. Just adding a disclaimer here that: I'm not trying to bash Laneige in any other way, their skincare range just doesn't seem to be working for me, that's all. However I do love their cleansing oil. Their Cleansing Oil Make Up Remover is great and I cannot rave enough of it. It takes off my waterproof make up really fast and this is really awesome for someone who just wants to be tug in bed after getting back home.
