Saw this Q&A in www.beautyholicsanonymous.com so I thought I'd try it out for fun. It serves to perk me up during sleepy afternoons at work! Hahahhaha! Feel free to get to know my routine better and advice/comment if I did anything not right.

SKINCARE

1. How many times do you wash your face daily?
Twice. Once morning once night

2. What skin type do you have?
Combination skin. Oily with black&white heads T-zone, Large pores at cheek area, and occasional breakouts esp nearby menstrual cycle.

Estee Lauder Perfectly Clean Splash Away Foaming Cleanser in the morning and Estee Lauder Nutritious Purifying 2-in1 foam cleanser at night (can double as deep cleansing mask as well)

4. Do you exfoliate?
I am now learning to stick to a regime of exfoliation twice a week but previously, I am only doing it when I feel like it

5. What brand do you use?
Currently Body Shop Tea Tree Oil scrub. But planning to change because I feel the beads are not sufficient for a satisfying scrub. Discovered a new range by Eversoft, so will try it when my current one runs out.

6. What moisturizer do you use?
Biothern's Aquasource Deep Hydration Replenishing Gel for morning and night. Finishing my tub soon and just bought Neutrogena Moisture Boost Gel. Tried Clinique lotion and it sucks! Caused oil seed all over my face WTF

Yes… a little at the corner areas between cheek& under eye. Using some sample of Estee Lauder Cyber White serum but always tends to forget.

8. Do you use eye cream?
Yes! I swear to it because I have really terrible eye condition. Everlasting Dark Circles and Deep & Fine lines under the eye!!!FML. Until now, I am still searching for some miracle that can help me vanish of my problem, and that I why I love photo editing software!!

9. Do you or did you have acne prone skin?
I get occasional breakouts due to hormonal changes and when I have lack of sleep. When I use the wrong products, usually those too oily/rich for me, I will get lots of oil seeds, and the only way to solve it is to squeeze the 'oil' out.

10. Did you ever have to use Pro-activ?
Nope. Don't even know what's that.

I use Skin Food concealer especially for my dark circles.

No idea.

14. What do you think of fake eyelashes?
It makes the eye super big and FAKE. And I don't know how to apply it on…

15. Did you know that you are supposed to change your mascara every 3 months?
Yes. But I never followed cause the one I am using now is the one I used the most. Previously I never used mascara at all. Now for work sake, bo bien

Maybeline, the Magnum Volume Express. Bought it last minute from Guardian, and nothing so great to shout about.

None of it.

Nope. Never tried cause I am still new to the 'make-up world'

Nope as welll.

21. What is your favorite eyeshadow (color or shade)?
I like Gold because I find that it made my eyes prettier.

I use pencil eye liner. Not ready to commit to the dramatic effect of liquid liner and the messiness in the event of an 'accident'.

Seldom, but I always end up making my eyes all teary and red.

I am using the loose powder but I think it's messy so I will change to normal compact powder after this.

I don't use lipstick because I don't like the oily feeling on my lips. It is disgusting to know that the oil stains stick on my Tupperware 'mouth'. Yucks!

27. How about lipgloss?
Nope. I use Vaseline only when my lips are cracked.

Make up is just a tool to enhance the features on a person. Still, a smile on the face works more miracle than any make up can do.
