Let me tell you something right off the bat: I take selfies for him all the time....... and this entry has a point. Just thought I'd lay it upfront before you think I'm a narcissistic bitch who loves posting her photos on her blog for the world to see. Haha! Plus, this blog is intended for personal use only, hence this ridiculous disclaimer. :P
Sometime in January this year, I went shopping with my family to Senayan City Mall and I took this photo below whilst waiting for my mom and sister for their restroom break. I am completely aware that it's indicating a serious color mismatch between my face and my neck but I promise it's only caused by the weird lighting in public toilets.
I sent that to Luis with a caption of something like, "Left home looking like a hot mess but now it's not so bad anymore!" which refered to how I got into the car with damp, freshly-washed hair; completely non make up related. His response blew me away, "Pretty lipstick, Sayang.." I stopped walking when the message came through. I wear bold lipsticks ALL the time, from red to pink to purple to brown, but how come he realized I was indeed wearing my favorite lippie of all time, Estee Lauder's Rebel Raspberry!!!?
It was mind-blowing for the moment it took place, but there was always a chance of him just pinpoint-ing something which turned out to be, well, a bullseye to me. Plus, it happened during my blog-fasting period, thus I didn't write about it. Between that time and today, he had some spot-on guesses in a form of general comments as mentioned before, but the lippie thingy was still a champ.
Until I spent time with Ega in her apartment last Wednesday.
She recently got Naked on the Run's palette from Urban Decay, which I'd been wanting to play with for a few months now. When she told me she keeps it in her room, I knew I just gotta try it, so I did. Of all things the palette comes with, I was particularly interested in the rose gold eyeshadow and the mauve pink blush. The moment I started doing my face, I found her Clinique green eyeshadow stick. I tried it on and was so surprised of how sheer it was! I kept on building and building it up to the point that I realized it was actually a shadow tint! Hahaha, Ega had no idea herself! "I picked it up on sale." That makes sense. Anyway, since I'd done a serious product build up on my eye (that apparently so easy to sheer out as I was blending, duh), I decided to keep it on and used the grey shades on the palette for transition, crease, and smokey colors (that apparently isn't picked up very well by the camera, duh again).
The eyeliner is in dark brown which I am not a fan of, so I skipped it and opted for her Mac black gel liner instead. Same thing with the bronzer that I know won't be pigmented enough for my skin tone, therefore I grabbed my usual bronzer/contouring kit. On to the blush! I was on defense about the blush although I immediately was attracted to it eversince I opened the palette, afraid it would clash with my skintone but argh, it's just so pretty! I gave it a try by buffing the product a little at a time and my first instinct for an umpteeth time proves to be something I should listen to: it's beauuuuutiful on my skin! I would venture out to buying blushes in that color, I think. The lipgloss is too light and too pink to my liking, plus nude lips have been my go-to lately, that's why I decided not to use it either. Finally, Ega told me that the mascara is practically rubbish (either the sample size of Perversion is not anywhere as good as the full-sized one or she just got the bad one), and I ended up using a combo of her Lash Stilleto and Falsies from Maybelline. She's recommended the first mascara to me for the longest time now, but I haven't gotten around to trying it, since at home I still have a few back up mascaras, including an unopened Falsies. But after trying the Stilleto one, I've made up my mind: it's going to be my next purchase!! I'm in love.
OH MY GOODNESS THIS ALMOST LOOKS LIKE A MAKE UP BLOG! (Hahaha, I deeply apologize if you are getting annoyed, Bub.)
I hijacked Ega's phone for picture-taking (hehehehehe) and sent those to Luis. I'm 100% positive I only said something like, "We decided to try on some makeups after a successful online hunt for her thesis journal!" Which was literally what I did, considering the reason I came to her apartment was to help her do that and succeeded. Any guess what he said in reply? "Are you wearing different mascaras, Baby? Your eyelashes are looking longer and more curly! Kamu look pretty banget ya.. *flowers*" WHAT!!!!!!!!!? He has always been a mascara guy, but come on, guys aren't able to tell a difference, are they?!
Ega couldn't believe it when I told her what happened. Heck, I couldn't even believe it happened! Hihihihi.. All the while, I was going to send Luis the last photo I made using Ega's phone, so I typed him, "I think you might be getting a mini heart attack after this.." I planned on writing, "Look at my hair!" after that message, but I never got around to do it cause Ega already had snatched my phone off my hand, haha.. She was so curious what and how he said the things he did about the mascara. Before she got over her shock, his reply came through, "That hair though......... *covering mouth monkey*" SHUT THE FRONT DOOR! I think it was Ega who might be getting a heart attack, hahahaha.. She literally rolled on the bed saying, "I give up. How can a guy notice those things!? I cut my hair and even my boyfriend doesn't notice it!" Hahahaha..
And after tonight, I knew I just had to write this post.
Meet my best guy friend in the entire world, Araz. His birthday was actually in November, but since his last birthday, we had never had time or the right moment to celebrate it. Tonight, he was taking me to an amazing Chinese restaurant and an Italian place for refreshments. Even before he picked me up, I was already having a non-stop cringe looking at his recent profile picture on LINE. He cut his hair and looks sooooo darn ugly (uglier? Haha). You've guessed it, right from the moment I got into his car all through the moment he dropped me home, his hair was pissing me off so much! He was so annoyed that I kept on voicing out my irritation, haha, but honestly it was bugging me like nobody's business.
I arrived home around 11 and sent this collage to Luis plus a picture of Araz looking oh so psyched setting up his new watch (we picked it up before we headed to dinner) like a kid on Christmas day with the captions "The collage aku made" and "Araz so happy with his latest purchase! Hihihihi aku chose that watch *flower* *happy girl* *flower*". I'm looking at my phone as I'm typing these captions to make sure they are as accurate as they can be.
Wanna guess what Luis' reply was? "Uhmmmmmm, did he cut his hair?! *panicked face*" Hahahahahahahahaha I'm sooooo done! I quickly made a screenshot of the conversation and sent it to Araz cause he needs to know even without me trying to brainwash Luis to say his new haircut is horrible, he already thinks the same way! Hahahahaha..
Now, is my boyfriend a beauty guru for noticing these things???????? No, he's not. He's just the most attentive, caring, and understanding man I've met in my life. And I'm so, so, so very lucky to have him.
PS: I told him these things on the phone. When it reached to me retelling Ega's comment, he casually said, "No girl can mention every Chelsea player in 2007 like you either, Sayang." A hundred thousands brownie points are cruising the oceans now, making their way to where he lives.
