40 Questions: A Skincare + Makeup Questionnaire, pt. 2

Published by Justine

Pass Your Certification Exam Fast. Real Questions, Accurate Answers. http://www.exam-labs.com/ I did one of these last year, and I’m pretty sure a lot has changed in a span of one year and 3 months, so here’s one to close the year out! Unfortunately for my pockets, makeup still continues to be pretty much my main obsession when I thought it would have already died down. Anyway, I found this “questionnaire” on a random blog I came across while googling reviews on lip scrubs.. here goes! 1) How many times do you wash your face daily?Twice a day.. more depending on the weather. 2) What skin type do you have?Combination. I have really oily T-zone area, but really dry lower cheeks near my jaws. It’s annoying. 3) What is your current facial wash?Pond’s White Beauty Lightening Facial Foam. Not because it’s lightening, but it’s truly the ONLY facial wash that’s really good to my skin. I try and switch it up sometimes, recently Neutrogena, but nothing ever compares to what Pond’s does for my skin. 4) …

From the Universe

I was going through my TUT emails (I’ve been subscribing since 2010), reading the ones I missed the past few days and marked “as read” immediately. This particular one struck me, and hit me like a hammer on the chest. You are not meant to bear that which you find unpleasant, Justine, you are meant to change it. That’s why you feel it. Your every twitch of pain and malaise invites you to wake up, pushing you to seek grander truths that will reveal a bigger reality and a more magnificent you, ever closer to an awareness of your true place within reality creation – as a Creator. Boom, The Universe In this blog I’ve mentioned about personal issues I faced and still continue to. It’s not something I freely share because really, I’d rather look at the brighter side of life. I am fighting internal demons and they don’t feel pretty most of the time. TUT’s email above helps a little, it helps during bad days when all I want to do is disappear. …

Day 31 – Your favorite: Hobbies and way to spend down-time

Published by Justine

The last entry has finally arrived. To be honest, I was actually stalling on purpose so that I didn’t have to seal the deal on this blog challenge. Here goes.. Aside from makeup that has eaten up a lot of my time (and money) the past two years? I guess it’s time to bring out the hobbies. When I’m not at work, I’m usually a homebody through and through, fangirling here and there and watching my favorite tv shows, movies and Korean variety shows. This probably doesn’t reflect my “perceived” personality, but I actually spend a lot of time at home. I go out on weekends as well; if not to the mall or cafes, usually to a bar or a party because I like to dance and mingle with people, and I love my alcohol! I know, I’m all over the place when it comes to my interests. Food trips are another thing, I’m not usually one to shy away from new places to eat or new food to try. I’ve been doing yoga weekly for more than …

Current Beauty Products Vol. IV

Published by Justine

I suddenly had the urge to write about recently acquired makeup before I complete the last blog challenge. I do think I need to take better photos instead of using my iPhone on low light, because these photos don’t do justice to the products at all. Somebody (not me!) inserted the battery into the DSLR the other way around and so it’s stuck and currently unusable. Now I have to look for ways on how to remove it. I’m quite excited about today’s post because I didn’t buy most of these things, they were given to me! At this point, people who know me well are actually willing to feed my interests so I’m more than happy to oblige. Can’t complain!

Day 30 – What’s something not many know?

Published by Justine

I’m sort of an open book. Pretty much 90% of the time, what you see is what you get with me. The other 10%, is all sorts of jumbled up facts that I probably don’t remember and/or don’t want to share. I’m trying to pick on the insides of that 10% right now and trying to figure out what to share in this blog. Hm. Not many know that I wanted to be a drummer so much that I took up drum lessons at one time, sometime when I was about 14? I remember being obsessed with Coldplay’s In My Place that I begged my mom to enroll me in music school. She had one condition though, that I’d also take voice lessons together with drums. I reluctantly (though happily) obliged. I didn’t get very far, sadly (with drums!). I realized I had very minimal talent with it and that I also did not have a drum set that I could practice with at home, so that pursuit didn’t progress further than an amateur recital …
