I never expect that I would be hooked on cosmetics. I grew up with the idea that putting on make-up clogs the pores and causes evil blackheads (Yes, evil blackheads!) Hence, my face was free from all kinds of powder until I bought cosmetics from Skinfood just for my Sworn Sista's wedding (I refused to be a plain Jane standing beside the members of her entourage) I succeeded in looking pretty that day and well, I have been hooked ever since : )
However, looking at the photographs that I have taken during the sales workshop last Saturday, I realized that the Skinfood compact powder made me look as if I was wearing a white mask and I guess I looked ultra artificial : / Coincidentally, a couple of days back when we were walking back to the office, both Sharon and I came across The Bodyshop's new range of mineral cosmetics and we were won over by its non-comedogenic, non-fragrant and shimmery properties (meaning to say, our pores will not be clogged while looking dewy at the same time!) Initially, I was quite put off by the price tag of the loose powder and blusher, but...what the heck! We went to The Bodyshop after work yesterday : P~
I was quite impressed by the professionalism and good product knowledge of the beauty consultant. She could easily tell which powder shade suit us and she made an effort to demostrate how to apply the powder using the synthetic brushes : ) As we spent over 85 bucks each, we received a goody bag which consisted of 2 pots of face cream, spa body gel and a tube of lip gloss! (That's so damn wonderful!)
We proceeded to This Fashion to look at working clothes (Both Sharon and I realized that our wardrobes are so limited that we have been wearing the same old clothes every week) before meeting up with Sunshine Boy and Fat Boy for dinner at Golden Shoe Foodcourt (Oh yes, Isaac was there too! He accompanied both Sharon and me to The Bodyshop and This Fashion while munching on his chocolate donut!)
Though dinner (I had soup noodles with lotsa veggies) was simple fare, it felt blissful to share one another's stories while sipping inexpensive Heineken beer and munching chocolatey donuts : ) I am looking forward to this coming Saturday's Johor Bahru trip : D~
