As much as I love shopping at the beauty wonderland that is Mecca, my wallet can't say the same. Only once in a while will I splurge on a higher-end product, and then the guilt of overspending compels me to find a more affordable alternative. This is how I ended up with these two contour sticks - the Westman Atelier Face Trace Contour Stick (WA) in shade Biscuit  and Mecca Max Off Duty Contour Stick (MM) in shade Medium .   Claims  WA Sculpts and defines cheekbones Natural, satin finish that blends and builds seamlessly Contains kaolin clay to absorb excess oil, reduce shine and helps formula stay in place MM Buildable, longwearing colour Silky, cream texture Packaging  WA - Heavy, metallic case.

Winter has come and gone on the calendar but the weather is here to stay. As I type this in the comfort of my room and the heater is going, the rain continues to hammer down outside, and the wind lashes against the poor passerbys running for cover.  The start of Spring is usually a reminder for me to reevaluate where I am, decide what things to take with me into the future, and what things to leave behind.

@Skinsitivity  does makeup capsule collections and as soon as the IG algorithm decided to let me know about this awesome idea I jumped on board. Her idea was to restrict herself to select products each fortnight which has a lot of benefits that I'm digging. Not having to ooh and ah over the different combinations every morning was definitely a key reason why I was so keen, that and making sure I was using up older products. The lineup definitely changed over the fortnight, as I learnt new things about some older products. Base  - Nature Republic Pure Waterful Base (unpictured) Foundation  - Guerlain Parure Gold Radiance Foundation SPF 30 PA+++ (02 Beige Clair) Concealer  - Estee Lauder Double Wear Concealer (02 Light Medium) Corrector  - NYX Dark Circle Corrector (Light/Pale) Apologies that the NR base isn't included here, I threw it out and a day later decided I should blog about this -.- Two weeks spent with it convinced me that it was a ...
