A quick one

What this blog post needs to be since I need some zzzs desperately. I haven't been sleeping that well this week so far. I'm not sure what it is, I feel a big disconnect between where my head should be and where it is.

Things are going well. I've:
1. Talked the boss about my future - all good stuff
2. Finished applying for my masters
3. I'm actually working out and losing weight
4. I bought the Dior Palette I wanted!!!

I just don't know what's up. Maybe it's just the lack of sleep. So that's why this needs to be quick.

So I bought Crush Glow and so far I'm feeling a bit eh about it.

Two reasons for that I think.

1. The saleswoman was a BITCH. She spent like 15 minutes with the woman who was there before me, barely acknowledging my presence, then attended to the second customer (who fine, was before me) and then when I finally talked to her and told her that hey I've called you before can I please have my eyeshadow, she was all like "Uh... yeah it needs to be brought in from the store" and then proceeded to attend to an older and presumably much richer looking person than me. I thought hey maybe someone is getting my eyeshadow for me. Not so. After she gave that woman her stuff she went to the storeroom and got my palette. I was waiting for literally like 30 minutes. I am never going back to that Dior counter ever, which is sad because it's in Parkson, like 10 minutes for my house.

2. The colors don't seem to pop on my skin. They're pretty but it doesn't seem like its actually showing up. Which might partly be because my brushes suck and also because I don't have eyeshadow primer. I'm debating between ordering Urban Decay Primer Potion from Sephora when I visit the US or just picking up Smashbox Photo Finish Lid Primer from Pavilion.

What to do, what to do...

I'll leave you with terrible pictures of my Dior quint. I had to document my first ever quint!


With the box

It comes with a soft pouch thing

The hard outside case...

...and the lovely colors inside... I dunno... I really want to love it but right now I'm just not feeling it.

Today was supposed to be the LAST day...

that I was in chickenpox quarantine. BUT IT'S NOT.I'm at home. Still.

This is because one of my colleagues is preggers and hasn't had the chickenpox so she can't take the vaccine and so she could get the chickenpox which would be kind of really bad for her yet to be born child. So my boss suggested I take two more days off and my doctor was cool with it, so I went out the doc's door with 2 more days of sick leave.

I got really pissed off before going to Starbucks ordering an Iced Full Leaf Tea Latte and a cookie (Which tasted like ass btw, seriously when Starbucks people make their drinks wrong it is so wrong, plus the cookie was borderline stale but I was feeling sorry for myself so I ate the whole damn thing. I know, I have only myself to blame), then sitting in a corner while waiting for my mom to be done so I could go home.

But then I realized that basically I shouldn't be that pissed off because I mean come on, it's just like one more day at home.

BTW during my time I'm home I've become crazy obsessed with make-up. Right now the biggest debate in my mind is whether or not I should buy a Bobbi Brown Nectar blush or some shade of the other of a Dior Addict Ultra Gloss. I'm leaning towards the Dior. Right now I'm scrolling like a crazed woman through the Temptalia blog, looking for potential lipglosses that I should buy. It's like I'm a woman possessed and all I can think about is make-up I should buy or what's the ULTIMATE lipgloss or what would be a "good investment." Which is all bullshit because it's completely insane since all the stuff is super expensive and the best investment would be for me not to buy any of this shit. But I just CAN'T.

So I leave you with an image of something that I literally woke up saying on my lips...



...say it with me now - Dior baby Diorrrrrr
