Source: Asos.com

Just want to say that Asos is having 10% off today, I don't know how long this is going to last but it's worth it, I love that it can be applied to already discounted items. I just got myself the Pixi Early Bird Make Up Kit. I hope it's good. It looks really pretty.

♡ Daily Skin Care Routine

I've been using this set of products religiously for more than two weeks now, and the combination works for my skin. For your information, my skin is oily-dry and acne-prone. I feel that my skin feels better now, but still acne-prone. :/ It takes time I know.

1. Aloe Liquid Soap is basically a cleanser. You can google it if you want more information. From my point of view, my skin doesn't feel moisturized after this, it feel rather dry, not super dry but a little. I like the pump-action dispenser making it hygienic. 

2. Aloe Vera Gelly, it's a soothing clear gel for acne-prone skin. What I do is spread it all over my skin and let it sit for a while before applying anything else. I've been using it as moisturizer which is not really. But I like it, though using too much would leave your skin sticky because the skin can't absorb it all. I love the fact that it hasn't make me break out or dried up or irritated my skin. 

3. Gill Invisible Face Gel that I have already reviewed here. I would just apply this on my pimples. It dries them up, slowly. Really slowly but it works for me, it doesn't make me break out.

After applying both of these gel, my skin would feel smooth and non-sticky. This is my routine for day and night. If I have to go out, I would just do this but be more lightly with the gels and put foundation and makeup on this. You have noticed I don't use any toner or moisturizer. Right now, I don't need any moisturizer because the Aloe vera gelly does the job well. For toner, I have not find any that I like, most of the toners I have tried yet makes my skin feel oily, sticky and not fresh. I'm still looking for the right one. Do you have any recommendation for a good conditioner? Please tell me what you use please? If you have the same skin combination as I mine, please tell me what works for you xx

Edit: For acne-scars and dark spots, what products have been working for you? 

♡ Elite Model Eye Shadow Brush

I was thinking of getting all the makeup brushes from Elite Model then I told myself to just get one by one because they are expensive--actually they are cheap but I need to know if they are good. So far, I've just two, the other one is the foundation brush which I like though I feel that I use more foundation when I use this brush but maybe it was just because I put too much makeup on my hand and the brush just pick all of it. I tested the eye shadow brush and it's good,  I like it better than the basic brush that you get in palettes. And it's SOFT. Soft like the foundation brush, probably the same material. Next on my list to get is the powder brush or maybe the blush brush first because I need one since I'm using an unbranded powder brush to put on blush brush. 

I got this at Intermart Bagatelle at Rs100 which is approximately $3. Cheap right? (yeah, what the hell is she saying expensive lol) Anyway, I was with the bf today :) Love you, he does not read my blog though. It's okay else he'll criticise my bad English. We watched "Lady Vegas", the original title is "Lay the favorite".  Pretty good movie. 

If you have ever used Elite Model brushes, can you tell me how you like them please? I would love to know if they are any good compared to other brands like elf, real techniques, and others nice makeup brands that are NOT sold here and are so difficult to find online and if you, they don't ship to Mauritius or they could be fake. Why is it so hard to find great genuine makeup stuff at cheap prices. I want Sigma brushes, the Mrs Bunny collection, they look so cute haha, no okay I just want to sigma F80. I'm just rambling on. Have a nice night or day to whoever is reading this post.

Edit 1: I have 3 followers omg~~~Thanks for following me!

Edit 2: I forgot to include something. I cooked chicken masala curry with potatoes today and it was good. I cooked that several times but today it was perfect, I actually like what I cooked, that's why I thought that I should include this in my today's post :) The trick for this is not to overcooked the potatoes, to season well with salt and not too much masala spice powder. Damn I don't remember the brand, I should because I think it's the best tasting masala. I just know that it's written "masala moins piment" and the brand starts with "a" and ends with "gar". 

♡ It's the time of the month

The title says everything, it's the dreaded week of this month and I have not done much except eating the pain away which doesn't work at all but whatever. I did not cook today and so no food post today and also I had no eggs to bake a cake at least. I stayed home, 'babysat' my cousins, cooked quick meal for them and nothing else. I mostly spent my day on Youtube watching videos of ItsJudysLife, they are so funny and cute to watch and they make me want to eat veggies and fruits. What else did I watch today? I watch half an episode of BNTM episode 13, I don't know if it was the finale but Anita left, so sad because I liked her a lot than Laeticia - I don't know if I wrote her name right. Anyways, there's only Laeticia and Emma in the run for BNTM. Okay this episode was probably the finale because I was only half way through this episode and I've already seen Anita go. I'm going to watch the end tonight. Hey people, what do you do for the pain to go away!!!!! I used this asian medecine which sort of heat the area where you apply it, it works a bit. Let me show you a picture.

It's an oiI with a really strong smell. don't even how this is called but I like this a lot, it smells homey (for me) and let's just say that it's not something that you can wear going out because everybody is going to smell this. That is it for today, pretty random. Hi to you if you are reading me. Have a nice night :)

♡ Asos Mini Haul

There was a sale on Rimmel products on Asos last week, so I got myself the Rimmel London Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Silky beige for £2.50 and Rimmel London Mono Blush in Pink rose for £2.50. I have to say that I'm slightly disappointed about the color of the blush, it seemed more vibrant on the website but whatever, it's fine. I'll review these soon. I purchased these two because there were so many raving reviews about these and they were cheap. I just need new brushes now. I think I'm going to buy all the Elite Models brushes. WHY is there absolutely NO review on Elite Models brushes by the way? Are they bad? I've no point of comparison actually except my brushes with no name, that I don't like using anyway because they are coarse and no skin-friendly. 

♡ Baked Fish

Ingredients

3 lbs any fish

2 lemons juiced

Garlic, thyme, salt, pepper, Olive oil

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven at 200°C.

2. Marinate your fish with salt, pepper, crushed garlic and thyme.

3. Coat your baking dish with olive oil.

4. Place your fish in the dish (not stacked up).

5. Pour the lemon juice on the fish and a little bit of olive oil.

6. Bake for 30 minutes or less or more depending on your oven and the size of your fish.

I cooked this fish tonight and I have to say that it was quite dry mainly because I let it bake for too long but the taste was okay. I'm not a fan of lemon in food except cake or candies or drink but you know, I could get used to it - maybe. That was my first time baking fish actually. The way I cooked it was covering the baking tin with aluminium foil. I left it in the oven for approximately  30 minutes but it was still uncooked, very very lightly white so I took the aluminium foil off and put the tin higher in the oven. I left it baking for a little less than 45 minutes but it was overcooked and so dry even though there is still sauce in the baking tin. So I guess that cooking the fish without aluminium foil for 30 minutes would do the job. 

♡ My Pretty Fishes

They are our second parrot fish couple. Parrot fish are pretty fragile especially during season changes - my opinion. I filmed that video when both of them were ok even though one was lying on the filter. They are really cute, I don't know whether it's a couple, male & female. Apparently, it's hard to discern their gender according to the seller. I like parrot because they are cute, they like playing with each other or fight or 'kiss', and they look like cute cartoons that you want to cuddle haha. They are shy and need time to adjust to their new environment; that could take one-three months or more. The one that LOVES the filter is sort of sick, I don't know if she/he is eating, I've put it into 'quarantine' until it's better :/ Hopefully, that would be soon. *crossed fingers* I don't know what disease it has, it has dark spots but that's because it is stressed because of new environment but there is no physical symptoms, it is just quiet all day, doesn't move much, doesn't eat much also, doesn't have any belly bumps or whatsoever. I have absolutely no idea what's wrong with it.
