Best friend? More like bad friend!

I have a colleague of mine that I treated her as my best friend. There was once we went to JB together and we bought a pair of spectacles. I used my credit card to pay for our spectacles first since we did not bring enough cash at the point of time. Fast forward 2 months later, I kept chasing her for my money but she would come up with shit tons of excuses. Such as she forgotten to transfer me the money and to remind her tmr to make the payment or like she would change the topic to something else when I text her. Not long ago, I posted on my ig story about her and she immediately replied me saying that why am I so childish to rant on ig story? She said that I shamed our friendship online and she was disappointed with me. Blah blah.. I deleted upon her request and she told me to keep hush about it. But like gurl, without that post, you would not even return me back my money. Then after she said she was facing some financial issue and that she need to salvage the house, so she asked me to delay the payment. The thing is that, if you have financial issue, you could just tell me instead of keeping it to yourself so I wont keep chasing after you for the payment. But all I see on her ig story, is that she went to Phuket for a vacation and spent the rest of her days chilling at the condo. I did not see her at work for so long. So how do you want me to believe that you are really cash strapped? Thank goodness after chasing her for payment for 2 months, she finally made the transaction. So much for saying that her bf gave her a 10k ring last time. But you could not even return me $100+ that you owe me. Best part of all, I got to find out that you have been speaking bad about me to others. Why would you want to do that? Disclaimer girl, everything that I had is bought with my own money. I worked hard for it and I don't depend on my dad for allowance. There are days that I do 2 jobs just to earn extra bucks for myself. So don't be a shit ass person telling other people that I'm rich so that you don't need to pay me back my money. Grr..

Alexander Wang Prisma large tote review





Debossed designer lettering


Not long ago, I traded my 3.1 Phillip Lim pashli bag for an Alexander Wang Prisma large tote on Reebonz. The reason why I traded my pashli bag for a large tote was because I rarely carry the pashli bag to work/university. Not only that, the colour of the pashli bag is in bright orange. I find that it is difficult to match with my clothes. Whereas this A.wang tote bag looks stylish and edgy, it will be easier to match with my everyday outfit. 


The bag itself is heavy due to the 4 silver tone hardware at each corner of the bag. As you can tell in the second picture, I can placed my A4 size documents in my bag when I placed it horizontally. In the middle of the bag, there is a zip compartment which I can store my valuables in it. The material of the bag is bovine leather which makes the exterior of the bag feels extremely soft. The inner lining of the bag is made of fabric which I don't fancy in case it gets wet. 


The straps of the bag seem so thin. I hope it does not spoil so easily as I carry tons of stuffs in my bag daily.  /: Also, this bag matches with my wallet as it is the same Prisma collection.

April favourites

The month of April passed so fast and now its the beginning of May. I'm gonna share with you my April favourites. Last month I had a major pimple breakouts on my face because I was stressed a f with work and university assignments. I didn had sufficient amount of beauty sleep. So I popped by Sephora and asked the sales associate what kinda of facial mask should I get?


Mario Badescu - Cucumber tonic mask
Mario Badescu - Silver Powder
Origins - Matte moisturizer with willowherb


I was looking for a suitable face moisturizer as I have an oily and dry skin combination. Oily on the T-zone and dry patches on the side of my face depending on how humid the weather is in SG. I didn know there is such thing as a matte moisturizer for our face?! After using it for a month, I'm in love with it. My face stayed matte for at least 6-8 hrs with no makeup on. The origins moisturizer cost SGD 63. Its kinda of pricey but it works wonder for me. Mario Badescu products are well known for eradicating acne skin issues. The silver powder helps to unclog pores and minimise blackheads. I used it last night and I felt like my face went for a good detox. The silver powder cost SGD 27 which I think is quite reasonable. For the cucumber tonic mask, it helps to moisturise and brighten my dull skin. It cost SGD 30. After using all these products for a month, my face condition is so much better that I dont really use foundation when I go out. Sephora is having sales online and in-store now. So do check it out! 


Ryo scalp deep cleansing shampoo and conditioner


I dyed my hair too many times that my hair texture is dry and frizzy. I chanced upon this korean brand shampoo on Qoo10 and I decided to try it. When you apply the shampoo on your hair, there is a cooling menthol effect. After using it for a month plus, my hair look so much healthier. 



No sebum powder


I've stopped using my Too-faced (Born this way) foundation for my daily makeup. Instead, I used this herb green no sebum powder. It makes my face stay matte for at least 5 hrs. The texture is light and it makes my skin feels fresh. 



Alright, that is all for my April favourites. Gonna have my lunch now and start editing my research proposal. Thankful for no work this weekend. I really need a break. ):
