Shopping Bag: NARS Orgasm blush & Bare Escentuals Touch up veil

hehe when papa went to US, i couldnt resist asking him to get a bunch of stuff from sephora ^^ hehe it's a shopping haven there!!!! i wish i could buy the whole store :D and the prices there are slightly lower than in singapore, so it's totally worth it!
i've heard so much about the nars orgasm blush! kinda never realised that the 'orgasm' was a shade of the blush haha. and they have so many other pretty shades as well! but this is the most popular shade i think. a very light shimmery peach colour that gives an au naturel finish to any look :D

i've fallen in love with mineral makeup ever since i started using bare minerals :)) it's really different from normal makeup! much lighter, it gives a translucent sheen and it just seems so healthy for my skin! when i first used it, i actually felt that my skin was in a better condition after i removed my makeup! :O which is why i decided to go back to bare minerals again when i was looking for a pressed powder to set my makeup. i realised that while mineral makeup usually comes in loose powder, i still need pressed powder to blot away any oiliness. problem for me is that my skin is naturally shiny - not oily, but just shiny in a reflective manner. haha i dont really know how to explain it, but yeah, it totally just reflects light!!! it's not oily, but the shininess makes it look oily :( sigh. so i need to mattify it. which is why i got the touch up veil, which is essentially the pressed powder version of my mineral veil, and it's supposed to help reduce shine for a flawless finish (Y). exactly what i need :)
