Instant, Removable Beauty

(First post ever about make up)

Decided to unpack my mini makeup bag.


And this is what I found.
(Quite strange when you're 22 and surrounded by people who consume makeup on daily basis yet this is all you got. Pft.)


Clockwise:
Nivea Essential Care lip balm
(I use it daily)
The Body Shop lipstick
(in a very natural color)
 Make Up For Ever lipstick
(again, in a very natural color)
 Vaseline Pure Petroleum Jelly 
(not really a makeup, it just happens to be inside the makeup bag. 
I use it overnight everyday)



(Messed-up) Clockwise:
Make Up For Ever 24S Blush Brush
 Revlon The Remover
The Body Shop Camomile Gentle Eye Make-Up Remover 
(can also be used to remove light makeup, such as BB cream)
Revlon ColorStay Aqua Mineral Makeup
(nevermind the name, it's just a shimmering powder foundation after all.
I usually use it as a regular powder)
Revlon CustomEyes Waterproof Mascara
The Face Shop Power Perfection BB Cream
Make Up For Ever Powder Blush
(in a very neutral shade)
Maybelline The Falsies Waterproof Mascara
Make Up For Ever Eyeshadow
(again, in a very neutral shade)
unbranded eyelash curler
Revlon Liquid Eyeliner
Yves Saint Laurent Eyeliner Effet Faux Cils
(excuse the name, it's just an eyeliner pen to be exact)
Revlon Eyeliner Pencil
(been buying this since highschool,comes with a built-in smudger)
Make Up For Ever Sculpting Blush
(you name it; in a very, very natural shade)

Not pictured
Make Up For Ever Eye Prime

Most of them are left unused in my makeup bag most of the time cause I only use BB cream, mascara (and sometimes a little bit of eyeliner), lipbalm (with sometimes a little touch of lipstick) for daily use. I don't even apply powder. (And I don't even have one!)
The most expensive makeup I got here is the YSL eyeliner one. I got it for AU$ 65 at Myer dept. store in Melbourne (now they sell it for AU$ 59 online), while at Sephora.com they sell it for only US$ 32. And in an Indonesian online makeup store they sell it for IDR 450k.
Yes, God can be unfair sometimes.. Especially for the makeup rookie.

Dear Daddy

It's hard when you set your Dad as a standard
when measuring men's qualities cause
they just simply can't compete.
Not even close.

"When you're looking for a husband, look for someone who can make money
without any help from his parents.
Don't ever marry Mommy's little boy. They're cowards." --Dad

To A 9-years-and-still-counting Friendship

"It's been said that everlasting friends go long periods of time
without speaking and never question their friendship.
These friends pick up phones like they just spoke yesterday,
regardless of how long it has been or how far away they live,
and they don't hold grudges.
They understand that life is busy and you will
always love them."

--A friend's post on Path

He Does What The Night Does To The Day

Crawling Back To You


Have you got colour in your cheeks?Do you ever get that fear that you can't shift the tidethat sticks around like something in your teeth?Hiding some aces up your sleeveHave you no idea that you're in deep?I've dreamt about you nearly every night this weekHow many secrets can you keep?Cause there's this tune I found that makes me think of you somehow and I play it on repeatUntil I fall asleepSpilling drinks on my settee

(Do I wanna know?)If this feeling flows both ways(Sad to see you go)Was sorta hoping that you'd stay(Baby we both know)That the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can't say tomorrow day

Crawling back to you

Ever thought of calling when you've had a few?Cause I always doBaby I'm too busy being yours to fall for somebody newNow I've thought it through

Crawling back to you

So have you got the guts?Been wondering if your heart's still open and if so I wanna know what time it shutsSimmer down and pucker upI'm sorry to interrupt it's just I'm constantly on the cusp of trying to kiss youI don't know if you feel the same as I doBut we could be together if you wanted to

(Do I wanna know?)If this feeling flows both ways(Sad to see you go)Was sorta hoping that you'd stay(Baby we both know)That the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can't say tomorrow day

Crawling back to you

Ever thought of calling when you've had a few? (calling when you've had a few)'Cause I always do ('cause I always do)Baby I'm too busy being yours to fall for somebody newNow I've thought it through

Crawling back to you

(Do I wanna know?)If this feeling flows both ways(Sad to see you go)Was sorta hoping that you'd stay(Baby we both know)That the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can't say tomorrow day(Yeah)

(Do I wanna know?)Too busy being yours to fall(Sad to see you go)Ever thought of calling down?(Baby we both know)Do you want me crawling back to you?

Screwed Up & Brilliant


"You said I was the most exotic flower
Holding me tight in our final hour

I don't know how you convince them and get them, but
I don't know what you do, it's unbelievable
And I don't know how you get over, get over
Someone as dangerous, tainted and flawed as you

One for the money, and two for the show
I love you honey, I'm ready, I'm ready to go
How did you get that way? I don't know
You're screwed up and brilliant,
Look like a million dollar man,
So why is my heart broke?

You got the world but baby at what price?
Something so strange, hard to define

It isn't that hard boy to like you or love you
I'd follow you down down down,
You're unbelievable
If you're going crazy just grab me and take me
I'd follow you down down down, anywhere anywhere

One for the money, two for the show
I love you honey, I'm ready, I'm ready to go
How did you get that way? I don't know
You're screwed up and brilliant,
Look like a million dollar man,
So why is my heart broke?

One for the money, two for the show
I love you honey, I'm ready, I'm ready to go
How did you get that way? I don't know
You're screwed up and brilliant,
Look like a million dollar man,
So why is my heart broke?

I don't know,
You're screwed up and brilliant,
Look like a million dollar man,
So why is my heart broke?"

Dreams, Dreams


"Sometimes I find myself sittin' back and reminiscing
Especially when I have to watch other people kissing
And I remember when you started calling me your Mrs.
All the play fightin', all the flirtatious dishes
I'd tell you sad stories about my childhood
I don't know why I trusted you but I knew that I could
We'd spend the whole weekend lyin' in our own dirt
I was just so happy in your boxers and your tshirt

Dreams, dreams of when we had just started things
Dreams of you and me
It seems, it seems that I can't shake those memories
I wonder if you have the same dreams too

The littlest things that take me there
I know it sounds lame but it's so true
I know it's not right but it seems unfair
The things are remindin' me of you
Sometimes I wish we could just pretend
Even if only for one weekend
So come on tell me
Is this the end?

Drinkin' tea in bed, watching DVDs
When I discovered all your dirty grotty magazines
You'd take me out shopping and we'd buy is trainers
As if we ever needed anything to entertain us
The first time that you introduced me to your friends
And you could tell that I was nervous so you held my hands
When I was feeling down, you made that face you do
There's no one in the world who could replace you

Dreams, dreams of when we had just started things
Dreams of me and you
It seems, it seems that I can't shake those memories
I wonder if you feel the same way too

The littlest things that take me there
I know it sounds lame but it's so true
I know it's not right but it seems unfair
The things are remindin' me of you
Sometimes I wish we could just pretend
Even if only for one weekend
So come on tell me
Is this the end?"

Still one of Lily's best. ♥

My Name Is Adam, I'm Your Biggest Fan


"You're a part-time lover and a full-time friend
The monkey on your back is the latest trend
I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else
But you

Here is the church and here is the steeple
We sure are cute for two ugly people
I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else
But you

We both have shiny happy fits of rage
I want more fans, you want more stage
I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else
But you

You're always trying to keep it real
And I'm in love with how you feel
I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else
But you

I kiss you on the brain in the shadow of the train
I kiss you all starry-eyed, my body's swingin' from side to side
I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else
But you
 
The pebbles forgive me, the trees forgive me
So why can't you forgive me?
I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else
But you

Do do do do do do do
do do do
Do do do do do do do
do do do do
I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else
But you.."

People, Stop Making Excuse

The term 'friendzone' doesn't exist.
It's just bunch of people whose shyness are overloaded
to show their feelings
that they made such term as an excuse.

C+J Forever


Put yourself in this situation: You have a best guy friend since highschool, become lovers in college and decide to get married young. Now 30, you're on your way up with your career and your husband is on his way nowhere with, again, unemployment that you decide to divorce but still maintain a good friendship as how it's always been with your soon-to-be ex-husband. But your decision, in fact, turns out to drive you away from the friendship, from the 'forever' promise you two have always been keeping.
That's what happens between Celeste and Jesse (well played by actress as well as the daughter of Quincy Jones, Rashida Jones and Saturday Night Live's Andy Samberg, respectively). 'Celeste and Jesse Forever' serves you with drama along with comedy wrapped up in bro jokes. 'Real' drama touches me more than 'drama' drama ('The Notebook', 'The Vow', you name it) because the tendency of it to be happened in real life is crystal clear. (Not mentioning the opening song, Lily Allen's Littlest Things, which is my favorite). And, to be honest, this movie brings up the kind of issue which intrigues me the most: Marrying the guy your age. Well, my assumption is proven to be right (at least in this movie...and in some cases).
'Celeste and Jesse Forever' totally nails it. As the tagline says, 'A Loved Story', this story is very likely to be loved, even by not a big fan of drama movies.




C: 'Do you think it's weird we hang out all the time?'
J: 'No, you're my bestfriend.'
C: 'Yeah, you're my best friend too.'

Self-Claimed

Rejection junkie.


Nothing


"He's everything you want
He's everything you need
He's everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you
And you don't know why.."
