Wishlist #1

Hello! Happy weekend, everyone. It's been a while since a proper update on this blog. The backlog is just too much to bother considering about recounting all of that has happened since whatever the last proper update was talking about. [ <--- Do you find this sentence hard to read? Sounds like I'm rambling.]

I had a solid 11 hours of sleep last night, which is awesome cuz I've slept an average of 3-4 hours daily this past week. And today I went to the gym and had a dinner of curry, brown rice and stir fried french beans. After putting up this post, I'm going to study for mid-sem. I wish I would choose to go out tonight with WP but this guilt of not having studied for next week...

Here's a list of things I want rather badly (for now)! I find them slipping sneakily into my mind when I'm not thinking about anything in particular...


Bensimon Elastique sneakers

Now how cute are these. I've been looking at them longingly for a while now... They'd look cute with shorts! Somehow I've only found them in blue, which I do like. I'd like red, for a pop of colour! :)

Gym/running gear

I have some pairs of shorts that I wear around the house...and also for jogging and to the gym. It would be nice to have something like these lululemon ones or this from Nike! Made for exercising in, hence less seams where they'll chafe your skin when you move too much in them. These lululemon running pants look pretty cool too, although it'll outline my jiggly monster thighs a little too well.

Other stuff: 

Sports bottle. The squeeze type, to be specific. This awesome red Nike one is perfect. I'm always seeing squeeze sports bottles in the gym and in the park.

A sports hoodie.

iPod touch arm band.

Exercise/yoga mat.

Dri-fit sports tops.

BareMinerals basic make-up

From L-R: Matte SPF 15 Foundation in medium beige, Prime Time Foundation Primer, Mineral Veil (top), Warmth All Over Face Colour (bottom).

The only make up I wear is eyeliner. I go heavy on the eyeliner haha. I also use a pressed powder to control that constant oily shine I have on my face. I don't use foundation because I dislike the feeling of liquid foundation caking up my face. 

I checked out BareMinerals at their department store stand and I like how light their foundation is! It's a powder with a slightly creamy texture if you rub it between your fingers. The selling point for BareMinerals is the ingredients in their products. These products were originally formulated for skin with acne problems, so yeah, good stuff.

Another product which I'd want is pretty much a complementary product to their foundation. The Foundation Primer. Primers help your make up stay on longer, especially since BareMineral's foundation is in powder form. Very light, very smooth.

There are other things that I liked too, like the Mineral Veil, which is a finishing powder applied at the end to lock your make up in place and also serves to absorb oils. Another is the Warmth All Over Face Colour which is just a highlighter of sorts. But these two are secondary want compared to the foundation and primer, since I don't use much make up.

Vintage bag

A satchel is something I've been wanting to get for aaaages! I just haven't seen one that I liked. Okay, I have, but it's usually made out of cheap material or too expensive. A dark tan brown would be nicer than the picture I have above.

Also on the right are vintage-look backpacks. I want one! Just because.

Okay that's it for now. This list can go much longer but I lost the mojo to continue hahaha.

but it's a good refrain

The solo's awfully long...

A corner of South Lawn, under a tree.

Waiting for the next class.

How do people study on the South Lawn, because whatever will power they are exercising, it is pretty damn strong willpower. All I wanna do is lie in the grass and doze. Maybe they aren't really reading for class. Maybe their eyes are glazed behind those shades they wear.

I'm just gonna put away these notes and take out a book to read instead. In other news, I'm going to the gym later! Got a week's pass to Fitness First...and I didn't go yesterday, so that's one day struck off :o
