Current favourite products

DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom EDP
I'm not good at describing scents so my best way of putting it is this perfume smells very floral, subtle and sophisticated. When I first saw this, I admit, I had the urge to smell it only because it was pink. In my opinion this has the same subtle, floral quality with a slight citrus accent to it, (even the same pink colour!) as Dior Addict 2 so if you're a fan of that (I am!) you might just like Fresh Blossom.
Wet & Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Palettes
I finally understood why these palettes have been getting so much of attention. Honestly, until today I've never seen any drugstore/cheap eyeshadow comparable to these. For the price, most of the shadows are spectacular.  Not all, but most of it. A few are gritty and lacking in pigmentation, some are very chalky. Nonetheless, these are considerably cheap for its overall eyeshadow quality.

MAC Wedge Eyeshadow (Matte)
I've been using this almost every single time I do my eye makeup. It's a light, neutral brown and I use this to soften the edges of eyeshadows on my eye socket area, also as a transition colour between the crease and brow bone highlight. It's a great colour for all that purposes on my fair skintone.
Kate Covering Concealer for Under Eyes
This concealer only comes in one shade unfortunately but if you're fair, this concealer does an amazing job in brightening the under eye area and in my case since my under eye dark circles are not too serious, it does a great job in concealing too.
Milani Liquif'eye Metallic Eye Liner Pencils
Eventhough it's called 'metallic eyeliner pencils', none of the pencils I own (black and brown) gives a metallic finish. I like how incredibly soft these pencils are and they glide on effortlessly. They are richly pigmented and pretty long lasting too and most importantly, they're cheap.
MAC 138 Tapered Face Brush
This sucker which looks like a huge Chinese caligraphy brush is so expensive but I just can't resist it. I like how it's huge enough to be used all over the face, and the pointed end is small enough to get into tight corners and smaller areas in the face. The bristles are so soft it's as though I'm brushing a feather on my face. There are so many other ways to use this brush and I cannot get enough of it.
Nars Sheer Glow Foundation
Was a favourite, still a favourite. Now that I'm living in a colder and dryer area this foundation has been holding up pretty well which makes me adore it even more. Read my review here.
MAC By Candlelight Mineralize Skin Finish
Ever since I bought this I have never stopped using it. It basically is a powder highlighter but I know some people use it as a blush too. I use it only to highlight especially on my cheek bones and it makes my skin 'glow' like a manequin or a doll's face!
Sebamed Clear Face Teenage Apt Gel
Ok I know it says Anti-Pimple Gel in the picture but mine says Teenage Apt Gel. I think they're the same. No pimple treatments I have tried can compare to how effective Sebamed works on my skin. Again, the best part is it's cheap!

I really wanna properly blog again but I don't have my camera at the moment. Smart me... I left my camera's charger back at home so I'll have to wait till someone posts it to me before I can post makeup looks or reviews.  Meanwhile, hello again readers! If there's still any left... haha.

I also ppl ma... :p

Your Wedge sounds like my NYX Eyeshadow in Brown. It's also a mid-tone matter brown but warmer. Great transition color as well :)

That's one of my fav scents too! At first I though those DKNY perfumes would be too fruity, but they're just right. Lingers on for a while too. I love NARS Sheer Glow too, the only problem I have with it is that it oxidizes on me horribly ):
