OPI

 

This is long overdue.

Tomorrow marks one month of me being away from home. how time flies. i can still remember trying to pack all my life into two suitcases. i thought i brought ALOT of things, but now when i am settled, i realised...i didnt bring enough things! i need more baju rumah, i need more shorts (i only brought one and its the shortest i own, wth was i thinking?) i need more long sleeves tops because the weather is so confusing, its hot, its cold! and i need a freaking gayung. WHY DIDNT I THINK OF IT?? i cant seem to buy clothes here, everytime i see a piece i like, i look at the price tag, i put it back. i saw a lovely silver sweater at Forever New. its 69.90 AUD after converting its around rm210. i think, i can get the same one at H&M for cheaper OR i say, i might as well get it at ZARA, it'll be more worth it. I try not to buy from their chain stores because everyone dresses the same here. especially the boys, its like copy and paste.

As much as i dont want to admit this, urghh, i am bored. i am bored of being on campus all the time. Should have gone to Melbourne.

Other than my rants, i am officially an aunty!!! my sister in law gave birth to baby Alani Diyanah on 16 March!!!!! my dad who usually talks to me "through" my mom or my cat, he will text me things like this "Mommy wants to know what are you doing?" "Ash thinks your room is messy" - hint to clean up my room.  Now he says "Baby wants to know why you are not studying?"

Its so cute to see my parents swoon over this little baby.

Speaking of studying, IT.IS.SO.HARD.TO.GET.BACK.ON.STUDYING.MODE. i swear, everyday i write down things i have to do which includes doing my assignments, mostly research stuffs but i somehow find other things to do during the day. Cleaning the kitchen seems more interesting, doing my laundry seems more fun and etc. i got to get my head in the game because when April comes, i will be quite busy with my assignments and i have to catch with the rest of the students here.

a trip to the city.....

Its my 2nd weekend here in Perth and i was getting a little restless being on campus grounds all week. I wanted to explore Perth but had noone (who was free) with the same wave length as me. 

It took me about 10 minutes to decide if i wanted to go to the city by myself. by bus. my first time. The adventurer in me, kicked in and off i went. i was planning on getting my jacket, but of course, i didnt based on the pictures. I went in Myers and i felt right at home with all the make up counters. My concealer is finishing, so i headed over to Clinique to check out their Even Better range.

It took a while for the SA to get my colour right. I am so tanned now because of summer and i'll (i hope too) get fairer when fall/winter comes, so i decided to get a shade lighter than my current skin tone. Clinique in Myers had a promotion where if you spend $60 you get a gift bag full of deluxe sample sized goodies! i cant resist offers like that, so i picked up the Even Better Foundation. The gift bag they gave were very impressive. Super excited to try out the night moisturizer.

1. Even better concealer in Almond
2. Even better foundation in 08 Beige

Gift bag
1. Take The Day Off Makeup Remover For Lids, Lashes & Lips
2. Day Scrub Cream Rinse-Off Formula
3. Youth Surge SPF 15 Ag Decelerating Moisturizer
4. Youth Surge Night Age Decelerating Night Moisturizer
5. Quickliner For Eyes Instense
6. High Impact Mascara
7. Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm

They gave a cosmetics bag as well. 

Covergirl Clump Crusher (Review)

One of the first things i did when i touched down Perth was go to the supermarket (my favourite place in the world) and check out their beauty products!!!

i had mixed feelings. 1. There is (obviously) more choices here than KL. yay!! 2. It is much more expensive here. may!! :( I picked up the Covergirl Clump Crusher because it was 10AUD. Introductory price, if not its 17-18 AUD. Again i say, i have really limp eyelashes, i thought it wasnt going to do much, but surprsingly!!! i had really plump eyelashes the whole day. I think this might be a staple in my mascara collection.

PERTH

I am finally in Perth and settling down. Its so hot here. I have never experience this kind of heat. Malaysia is so humid and Australia is so dry.  Below are some pictures of my first week.
