My NARS Dilemma

NARS makeup are so pretty!

But their packaging sucks big time:

They get dirty fast and the dirt really sticks to the packaging. Even if I wipe them from time to time, they still get so dirty. It’s a shame, they really don’t look nice in my vanity.

I have been reducing my makeup collection for the past few months now and I’m trying to figure out which brands I’m keeping and will still be buying. NARS is a big question mark for me. I love their products plus one of my makeup artistry mentors is from NARS so it’s really hard for me to let go of this brand. But, if I really think hard about the money I’ve invested in these products and end up with packaging like this, I get really disappointed. I have depotted 2 NARS products because the packaging was already hopeless. They were very sticky and I couldn’t do anything about it anymore. I need to depot one more concealer combo for the same reason. I had to throw away one depotted cream blush because some insects decided to make a home in it. So that’s money wasted already.

What about you ladies? What’s your view about NARS packaging? I’m sure a lot of you share my sentiments.

Right now, I’ve decided not to purchase any more from this brand until I finish all my NARS products. When the time comes when I only have one NARS makeup in my collection, then I will decide if I will buy more. I have more NARS makeup in my collection aside from the ones above so that will take some time. There are so many brands out there that I’m interested to try and I think this is a good decision.

All About Eyes

Lately I’m finding myself obsessed with skin care products, prevention in particular. I'm not getting younger and nobody likes lines and wrinkles, right? I should have done this in my early twenties but those were hard times and we didn’t have enough to support our daily lives, let alone vanity splurges. So now, I’m on hyper mode. I did not place any expectations on this product. I’ve had it with products claiming they can do this and that. I just tried the product thinking that if it works then great, if not then I’ll just find a new one. I wasn’t expecting a dramatic change but 2 weeks into using this product, I noticed that my under eye area has become lighter. The lines are also not as deep as they were before I used this product. I stopped using the Garnier eye products because I’m allergic to them so that means I’m not using any whitening products for that area. I am truly impressed with this product. I didn’t take a before and after photo as I wasn’t expecting this at ...

Alone Time

My good friend Kitten and I were supposed to go out yesterday but she had some unexpected things come up. I needed to buy some stuff as I am packing for a trip and so I went alone. I actually enjoy going out alone as much as going out with girlfriends or MB. It gives me a chance to eat whatever I like to eat and explore new restos. It’s also nice to take my time when shopping. After paying my bills, I had a late lunch at Toast Box: I love Hainanese Chicken. I sometimes cook this dish but it’s too tedious so I settle for eating out. I’m so happy that there are now restaurants that serve proper Hainanese Chicken. Well, except that one above was sooooo bloody. It was swimming in blood when I pulled the meat apart so I had it changed. You know what Gordon Ramsay says, bloody chicken is poisonous. This is the second time I ate at Toast Box and in both times, the chicken was so bloody. After lunch, I started shopping. First stop was Beabi where I bought these: The Sakura thermos on...
