I really need all the patience I can get… sigh </3

today a miracle happened -

i bathed, applied my full make up and curled my hair within ONE hour so I was on time! :D

I usually take about at least two hours to do all of that.

I’m super thankful because it’s almost as if time slowed down for me this morning.. *grateful* <3 <3

hahah very sorry for the gross and disturbing close up of my nose :S

but i really wanted to share about this!

i’m not sure if this method will harm your skin in any way (but i doubt so cause i’ve been doing this for ages?), but this is basically what i do when i have flaky skin in the morning and die die HAVE TO apply make up (important dates, events etc).

usually when i apply foundation over my flaky skin it becomes even more obvious and it looks sick as hell.

so what i’ll do is to apply a layer of BB cream FIRST, and then use a scotch tape to “blot” over the parts which have flaky skin, and then it becomes a lot smoother! :)

bottom left pic shows the flaky skin being removed!

then i’ll proceed to apply my make up as usual.

applying BB cream/foundation BEFORE using the scotch tape is important as it makes the tape LESS STICKY so it won’t tug onto your good skin, and will only pull out the flaky ones.

hope this helps! <3

exfoliating using facial scrubs makes it worse and doesn’t remove majority of the flaky skin in my case  :(

Hi there, is anyone still reading this space?

2013 has just started but I really can’t wait for it to be over already.

Mainly because I can’t wait to get rid of my braces cause I still can’t get used to it.

But I guess I’m not suppose to get used to it unless I want to live with it forever (no way!)?

I personally think I look gross in pictures right now with some weird metal mouth going on, but I guess it can’t be helped..

For vanity’s sake, I shall have to endure for a whole year

Please let this year past really quickly.
