So even before I start this post, I must apologise for a lapse in memory - I totally forgot mascara.
What a rookie error. My bad.
"Seriously, Michelle?!" you may be thinking.
Seriously.
I apologise.
With that aside, I decided to make a post about the most important products I'd take when travelling. Maybe because I'm going to Sydney.. TOMORROW. Goodness gracious, time has passed.
Obviously this is not everything that I'd take on a plane (I've left out accessories - brushes being the most important, followed by nightly skincare), but if there were only a few things I could take travelling with me, this is what I would pack.
Plus the mascara.
In my defence, I probably (at least subconsciously) left it out because I haven't found a mascara that I love.
My justification suffices.
Here we go.
*Disclaimer: this is a post on the general products I would take, rather than reviews on each, because I am both lazy and tired.. and it would take much too long.

Produits Fini: 2013
If you know me at all, you will know that I am absolutely compulsive when it comes to beauty products, and I'm one of those people who will open my purchases as soon as my foot steps into the door. And it happens so often, which is the main reason why I can never finish any sort of product.
Ever.
And that is not a half-hearted, but a strong, definitive, confident 'ever'. There is no sense of exaggeration in the slightest. That's not how I roll.
Looking back on 2013, I've started to realise that I actually only have one face and with my current collection, it will take approximately 94385798475 or so years to finish everything.
Such is life.
Take it or leave it.
Mostly take.
But a little leave.
Alas, there are 3 that are either completely dried and shrivelled, or pretty well on the way to that stage. "Only three?!" you may be thinking. Oh, you are mistaken. For me to be dedicated enough to finish just one is almost a miracle.
I'm getting there.

Favourite Products for 2013!
Can you believe it's been months since I've last updated? More unbelievably though, it's amongst the last few days of the year. As in, 2013 is almost over.. in a matter of days.
AND I've finished second year, passed it and moving onto third year (AKA death year) already.
Because I can't.
And just when I thought things couldn't have been any weirder, I finished my 4 week rural placement a few weeks ago. It's gone so fast.. and it's now past Christmas. I really cannot believe it.
I thought I would fit at least one more post in before 2014 and present to you my favourite products for the year. I was originally going to make it 10, but then I totally lost count and probably couldn't have brought the number down anyway. I actually haven't counted how many I chose, so it may be a little awkward if it turns out to be less than 10.
NTS: sleep more. I'm sitting here yawning out of my mind, and my brain is just about to fall asleep.

August lips
Firstly, I'd like to apologise (yet again) for the lack of updates.
I don't know how long this lack of bother is going to last.
(Probably indefinitely.)
Secondly, I just want to share that Kimbra is officially taking fashion tips from yours truly.
Just kidding. But seriously.
If only you knew how mean she really is... You'd know that I'm not allowed to these glasses, right? Yeah! Two years ago she [Kimbra] told me these glasses were her thing and I wasn't allowed to wear them anymore. And then for Chinese New Year my parents got this pair of really expensive gold rimmed sunglasses and I had to pretend like I didn't even like them and... it was so sad. And you know she cheats on Aaron? Yes, every Thursday he thinks she's doing SAT prep but really she's hooking up with Shane Oman in the projection room above the auditorium! I never told anybody that because I am such a good friend!*
*Although inspired in part by a true incident, the aforementioned story is fictional and does not depict any actual event.
Thirdly, I'm in Vietnam for my brother's wedding (which happened last weekend). It was a beautiful event, with emphasis on the HOT. I was in a full length, full thickness áo dài and bore the whole brunt of the heat. There was a really cute guy wearing FuLLy InDiE clothes and tassled loafers. Ugh. Probably 10 or so years too old for me. Ah well. Never hurts to look, does it?
Lastly, this post actually has a purpose. Showing you my favourite lip products for.. August!
And it's now.. (not even September) October! Another totally timely post brought to you by me.
