I bought this a month ago after my skin got immune to Garnier Pure Active Scrub. The reason why I bought this was because of the "lemon essence" and the perks that come with the said ingredient. But other than that, my acne wasn't acting up on me during the time so I thought of looking for a facial wash that could help with the lightening of my acne marks.

Been busy these couple of weeks - my excuse for not being able to post anything at all. In compensation, I'm posting a small picture of what I bought this morning when I was looking for a facial wash.

See those big pores, small bumps, and fine lines running around your face? Don't you just wish to magically make them smaller and if possible, disappear all together? Benefit Porefessional might just be what you need!

Let's be real, there are those who are awesomely favored with great DNA that they don't have any skin problems at all. As in nada, zero, ZILCH. Bitter much? Haha. And then there are the "normal" ones (us) who have these physical flaws that we just hope and wish to minimize a little. If you're with me with the hoping, read on. =]

So it was raining all day today, weather was gloomy and I just can't seem to do anything remotely productive. While I was cleaning up some stuff, I found some make-up that was given to me as a gift and had rarely used it as I really don't use make-up whenever I leave home. A good pat of powder and a dash of lip balm if I need it. But what the heck, I was bored and needed to do something so..xD

Left image is my bare face and messy house hair. Right pics as you can see, made me looked quite put-together. (Put-together = less shiny. lol!)

Other than the powder and tinted lip balm, I used eye shadow and blush, also filled in my eyebrow. But eyebrows are challenging for me since I always have this feeling of removing too much that I might end up having two straight lines for eyebrows. o\_/o

Obviously there's not much difference with my bare face and the one with make up, still a newbie when it comes to this. xD

I always thought and still think that it's better to use little makeup and just be comfortable with your own skin. I know it can be hard at times, especially to us who are having a long battle with acne and other skin problems. I also wish that make-up could help clear our face forever, but that's asking too much of a miracle to happen xD. Of course there's nothing wrong with wearing makeup to help with your confidence, just remember not to hide behind it. Because in the end of the day, the people who accept you as you are now doesn't care about make-ups but the person wearing it - you.

Don't go all literal on this though to the point of not caring what you look like. Just be presentable enough ^^

Sorry if this post is a bit of a clutter. It's where my brain is at right now. xD

To cap things off, here's the outcome of me being bored.
