...and it's Chemistry all over again!

So, I sat through my first physiology lecture and so I thought yeay! Something that could possibly be interesting - little did i know that it'll be chemistry all over again. The first lecture was all about like osmosis, tonicity (and all that jazz) then we'll be looking at bits and pieces of neurology, muscle and respiratory physiology and all the cardiovascular heart stuff - cool stuff! I'm hoping it won't be hell though but (obvs) that's wishful thinking. UGH, cry me a river, dee - I'm in uni, if anything, it'll only get harder. *SOBS DRAMATICALLY*

ANYWAY, that's enough boring talk. let's go on to the interesting bits.
I discovered this new god-like invention for lazy ass humans like myself.
Brace yourself,

Presenting the *New Vaseline intense care spray moisturiser*
Yeah, you heard it right, spray moisturiser

I bought the aloe soothe one - which is the one in the green bottle. I can't get over how easy it is to apply, how moisturising it is and how nice it smells. So, maybe I'm exaggerating. Well, it smells like their normal moisturiser, the only thing that is different is their application method. I hate like milky moisturisers - the ones that linger on your skin - that makes you feel like you're sticky all over. This one is ahmaaaaazing. Like it's non greasy, it feels really light on the skin - makes me feel like i'm on top of this world. I'm currently obsessed with it! I got it from priceline for about AUD$ 7.99 which is very affordable and I'll definitely keep on repurchasing it!

Also, a song that I've been dancing to while getting ready is:
OOOOH, I LOVE IT! *dances

8 AM

(top: Cotton On; Jeans: Levi's; bag: MK;sunglasses: Ray Ban;books: typo)

Here we go again - morning classes *cheers to the start of second year!
So, I woke up at 530 AM and forced myself to stay up cause if I fall asleep, there is a high probability of me not going for my 8 AM class, which is compulsory because it's related to my clinic stuff which is a big deal (unfortunately!).
Anyway, got ready by 7 AM and left at 720. Took me about 20 mins to walk to uni from home, which was a damn achievement! I'm such a lazy ass but since it's a new year and I live relatively close to uni, I vow to make the effort to walk to uni and back! Wasn't a very pleasant walk to (uni) though cause it was so hot but it was pretty shady when I walked back home, which was very noiceee!
We had a 5 hour break in between our lectures today and it felt like foreverrrr. I did literally nothing and the lecture wasn't very interesting either but oohh hooo, lucky me, I've got a Crunchie bar (whose calorie was later burnt on the walk back home *wink) to keep me awake and I survived!!
Also, I baked a marble cake when I got home, my housemates liked it but I wish it could have been a tad bit sweeter but I'm pretty proud of it. OH, cut me some slack it was my first attempt *flips hair.
Looking forward for tomorrow though - there's going to be a physiology lecture, which (i hope) would be interesting!

Till then,

Bang Bang.

Currently listening to:

Back in Brissy

It's been awhile hey?
I haven't gotten any free time to update anything.
Anyway, I'm back in Brissy again - I've actually been back for a couple of weeks. Moved into a new house which is closer to uni. On the plus side, I'm living with girls this time around and they are all malaysians too (some common ground right there!).
So far, it's been pretty great. my housemates are pretty cool and they are really nice. I spent a few days getting my room together and I'm pretty pleased with it! Hopefully, I'll have time to take a couple of pictures!
The weather has been pretty hot but I hope it gets colder soon. Classes start this coming Monday - tbh, I was really looking forward to classes but when I woke up today, I was totally dreading it but hopefully, it'll all go well!

I'm enjoying my free time while it lasts though, watched 4 movies with the girls today - the first 3 Harry Potter sequel and The Bling Ring (which was completely meh).
It's a quarter to 2 and I should really get some sleep!

A little like Belle

Today's post is of beauty and books - a little bit like Belle from Beauty and the beast!

You can never actually limit yourself to buying just one product even if that's what you intend to do in the first place. You just can't (unless you're dead broke!)

I honestly just wanted to buy my eyebrow pencil from Bobbi Brown but I ended up buying 2 other products and so did mum, and we ended up with a couple of free gifts. SCORE!

The Natural Brow Shaper & Hair Touch Up 

[colour: Mahogany 3]

This one is a little bit like the Benefit Gimme Brow. I would say it serves the same purpose and it looks exactly the same in terms of the brush as well as the product. I've been thinking about getting the Benefit Gimme Brow just cause I think it works wonders - super natural on beautiful threaded/plucked/waxed eyebrows. When I discovered that Bobbi Brown has a product just like that, I literally jumped for joy. Also, Bobbi Brown is kind of my preferred brand so I decided to settle for the Bobbi Brown one. I tried it on today itself and I was in love with it!

The Tinted Eye Brightener

[colour: Light to Medium Peach 7]

I've been wanting to buy this product because I don't own any concealers and I'm not a full face make up chick but I wanted something to cover up my dark circles when I go out and so I thought, what could be a better product than a tinted eye brightener? - A Tinted Eye Brightener! So excited to try it. Now I won't have to look like a zombie when I go to class in the mornings! (Also with it, I purchased a concealer brush)

The Eyebrow Pencil

[colour: Mahogany]

I don't really have much to say about this product other than it being probably the one and only best eyebrow product for me. Others may have their own preference but this is definitely mine. I can never get enough of it. This is my fourth pencil that i've repurchased and definitely going back for more! (also this was the only item I wanted to buy from Bobbi Brown! - #failure)

   

The Free Gifts!!

Included:

- Bobbi Brown Holiday Eye Palette 

- Bobbi Brown Extreme Party Mascara 

- Bobbi Brown Smokey Eye Mascara

- Bobbi Brown Rose Sugar Lip Gloss

- Bobbi Brown Make up Bag

 Aren't they all so lovely!

And books I bought that I'm keen to read! Thinking of one to start on right now but I can't pick - but surely I will!

Now, I'm going to go ahead and catch up on some TVD. My bestfriend, Amalina has been going on about how good the latest episode is and I can't wait to watch it!

Depotting Lipsticks

So, I decided that I wanted to depot my lipstick because one of my favourite lipsticks broke. Instead of depotting one, I thought, maybe I should depot others that don't really get much love. I kinda enjoyed doing this except for the waiting part (didn't like that bit!) but it was good fun.

How to:

1. Prepare everything.

[you will need]
- small pot to store in your lipstick
- mini ladle/spoon to melt your lipstick in
- wet wipes and tissue to clean stains etc.
- candle to heat the lipsticks
- sticker paper/sharpie to label
- lipsticks that you want to depot
- small knife/scrapper to scrap out your lipstick

2. Sanitise everything! from your utensils to your hands.
3. Light up the candle.
4. Label your pots.
5. Use your small knife to scrap out your lipstick into the mini ladle/spoon.
6. Place the mini ladle over the candle and make sure the fire does not come into direct contact with the ladle.
7. Wait for a couple of seconds or minutes (1-2) till your lipstick is fully melted
8. Pour it in the pot.
9. Wait for a couple of seconds/minutes and your lipstick will solidify in no time!

TADAAAAA!!! Your lipstick is ready to use!
