More Random Facts About Me (aka Things I’m Not A Fan Of)

Live Well, Laugh Hard, Love Big

I stuck this on my bathroom door. Doesn’t really go with the context of this post but eh, it’s pretty. 😛

Happy end-of-the-week!

Since it’s a Friday and I’m not really feeling up to talking about beauty products today, I thought I’d do something a little different and share some random facts about me with you.

I wouldn’t really call this so much of a random fact sheet about me; it’s more of an *ahem* rant sheet. There are many things I love in life but given that I’m also human, there are also a lot of things that I dislike. So let’s call this a “Things Tine Aren’t A Fan Of” list, shall we? 😉

There’s A Certain Je Ne Sais Quoi with IT Cosmetics’ CC+ Radiance Ombre Blush

IT Cosmetics CC+ Radiance Ombre Blush in Je Ne Sais Quoi

When I was compiling a list of beauty products to get from Sephora in Sydney, one of the brands I really wanted to check out was IT Cosmetics. This brand and most of its products were highly raved by Emily from Beauty Broadcast. When I visited a number of Sephoras in Malaysia, I noticed that they didn’t stock this brand so I made doubly sure to hit the IT Cosmetics shelves when I popped into the Sydney branch.

I picked up several items from the brand and one of them was the CC+ Radiance Ombre Blush in Je Ne Sais Quoi. You know that I had to try out a blush, I mean come on! 😛 I didn’t really know which ones to get, so I settled on the prettiest blush I could and that’s the Ombre Blush. I’m a sucker for ombre blushes, I really am.

Bloggie Wednesday: Blogs I’m Quite In Love With Lately

Bloggie Wednesday: Blogs I've Quite In Love With Lately

With the saturation of blogs of all kinds of niches on the blogosphere, I must admit that it’s getting exceedingly difficult to find the ones that really give me the wow factor. Of course, there are the ones that I consistently enjoy that have been around for years. I’m talking about the ones that I stumble across that don’t just make me want to linger and lurk past the first 5 pages; they also make me want to subscribe to their newsletter and give them my money to buy their products.

As my blogging hero Pat Flynn would say, these are the ones that make me want to be a raving fan.

There are a few blogs that I’ve been really enjoying for the past year or so and, quite frankly, they’re the blogs I check out first each time I check my blog reads on Feedly.

Physician’s Formula Youthful Wear Spotless Foundation: It’s Pretty Darn Spot On! (Well, Okay Maybe Except For One Thing)

Physicians Formula Youthful Wear Spotless Foundation

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a post on a guide to shopping on iHerb and the 10 things/brands I recommended getting from the website. One of them is Physician’s Formula. Now I know that we can get Physician’s Formula here in Australia (they’re available at Priceline) but if you look at the price difference, you might be inclined to get the cosmetics on iHerb instead.

In my last iHerb haul, I picked up a Physician’s Formula Youthful Wear Spotless foundation. I’ve read mixed reviews about this foundation and I thought I’d like to give it a go as well.

It’s rare when foundations come with a makeup brush but this one does. And you know what? It’s not a bad brush too!
