The Style Mermaid by Kisty Mea • Sephora Make-up Haul + Review As mentioned in my Kiehl’s post, I had to kill time before the company annual dinner. Knowing myself, if I go to stores like Kinokuniya, Kikki.K or Topshop, I’ll end up bringing something home. I didn’t really want that, so what did I do? I went to Sephora and spent an hour and a half trying different products. The good news is that I didn’t buy anything on that day. The Bad News? Well, I couldn’t get these products off my mind. So I went back a few days later and splurged. ;__; I have no regrets though because I really like these products. :) I’ll be doing a separate review of each MAC lipsticks I have throughout the month, so you better watch out for that. In the meantime, here are my thoughts about the Benefit Erase Paste concealer and Sephora Blush.  [[MORE]] Benefit Erase Paste I have a love-hate relationship with this product. It does the job but it can cake up easily. It’s also very creamy and rich in texture. It blends really well, too! It also comes with a spatula, which is a godsend, because I really don’t want to dip my fingers in there. As far as I know, you can only choose three shades and this is the No. 2 Medium.  Sephora Rose Petal 08 Blush There’s not much to say about this product. I wanted a blush that’s pink but barely noticeable when applied to my skin. I’ve checked NARS to see their collection and haven’t liked any of them (plus, most are out of stock and it’s pricey!). This matte-finish blush only cost me S$20 and it does the job. :)

Did you know that the skin is the largest organ in your body? Just this fact alone makes me feel bad for not taking good care of my skin. So when I received an invitation to the Kiehl’s Dermatologist Solutions™ Clearly Corrective™ White Workshop, I immediately said yes and figured this could help me learn something about my skin.

The workshop was held in SEVIIN Tangs Orchard, a really posh place at Tangs. Kiehl’s Skincare Specialist, Janice, and a doctor from Sloanne Clinic talked about the different types of skin pigmentation, how they are acquired and how they can be treated.

The Style Mermaid by Kisty Mea • Be Optimistic! I’m optimistic about three things: my NOISE Singapore application, my upcoming trip to Boracay and spending time with my family. :) First, NOISE Singapore is a creative movement/organization that aims to showcase the talents of anyone who is under 35 years old. Aside from showcasing your work, they also offer a 10-week apprenticeship program. This apprenticeship or internship will allow aspiring artists or hobbyists to further improve their skills and possibly, even jumpstart their career in their chosen field (music, graphic design, photography and so on). And last Saturday, I was called for an interview with two mentors! The interview was short and casual, but it’s more or less a basis whether or not I’ll be the ~next top apprentice~ haha. I think I did alright but I still don’t want to expect or hope that I will get in. If I do, then I’ll be the happiest girl in the world and I’ll have my first ever photo exhibit! If I don’t, then it’s alright. At least, I gave it a shot.  Second, Boracay! :D I’m excited because it’s my first time to go to there, the wedding (the main reason why I’m going there in the first place) coincidentally happened on our anniversary weekend and it’s our first local out-of-town trip together! :D  Last but not the least, I’ll be seeing my family! I miss their quirkiness and chaotic ways, lol. Tip: While you’re still in school, make sure you maximize your vacation. Don’t just spend it in front of the computer! What are you optimistic about?
