Rimmel -25% ?! Whaa!

-25% on all things Rimmel plus my -10% coupon. Saves a ton.

Anyway, I've been noticing some pinkish makeup tones on my face lately and it really doesn't match my neck so I started looking for something more on the yellow side. I was considering buying "darker" shades for the summer but turns out anything less than "lightest" makes my skin look like I am wearing mud on my face. 

Therefore... 100 (Ivory) it is for Wake Me Up and Light for the new Rimmel 9 in 1 Matte BB Cream. Garnier, I still love you... but Rimmel costs half your price.

The lipstick by Kate is 106 and the accidentally over-saturated Stay Matte powder is a boring old 001 Translucent. (The culprit of the pinkish tones was most likely my old Stay Matte powder 003 Peach Glow which looked perfectly "light" inside the store.)

Whoa, Exams!!!

Exam period is here. Again. The semester flew by I don't even know how, but - as per usual - I have no idea what the hell it was all about. I was able to pop home and back last week, picking up my study materials. I also carried back a shitload of stuff, because unlike my swaggy, poshy flatmates, I have no one to drive me and my crap home. Trains it is and there will be many of those.

But on to the important things:
I've done some a lot of shopping...

BB Cream and Foundation Swatches

I gathered some BB creams and foundations, each of which I bought in the past 3 years. I stick to the lightest shades, but as you can see in the picture, it can be very hard finding the right one, especially when your local drugstores don't believe in the luxury of testers.
