Thanks so much Sal!! I was doing admin before, but I've started a Beauty Services certificate and will be doing make up next semester, so I got extremely lucky!
Yeah it is cosmetics
I'm too poor right now to even consider using the discount card hahaha. Once I get back on my feet and pay my brother back I might start hauling again. Luckily I haven't been interested in any of the collections since the holidays and I'm trying to avoid the pretty Liberty packaging lol!

Thanks so much, Nat! I am rapt! I promised myself to take the first permanent job I could get and I never in a million years thought it would be this one lol. I was mostly applying for reception coz thats all I know how to do! Someone decided to give me a break, I guess.
I was reading vogue forums last night and so many people wrote bad things about working for DJ but I'm just going to ignore those things til I start and see what it's like at my store haha.
It would be dangerous for you I think hahaha. All those lipsticks.. so close..

Haha remember awhile ago, I told you would be good at selling cosmetics and stuff? You didn't believe me!
Actually it was a manager at a certain cosmetics store told me that DJ is better.. I don't know if she knew something or a simply the case of 'grass is greener', but it would be so much fun anyhoo!!
Yeah I would be checking out Shu, Giorgio Armani and Alannah Hill all the time.. DJ should hire me, because whatever I earn from them will go back straight to their store lol.

Well done Michelle, good luck with your new job
There seem to be a few jobs going around... maybe I should start looking. My current job is destroying my poor back one day at a time. My back and what little is left of my sanity!

Another favourites list with stuff I got new and had for 2-6 weeks (except 1).
Skincare
DDF Wrinkle Resist & Pore Minimizer: This stuff is amazing!! It smells soooo good and when you put it on your skin feels soooo smooth and looks a lot smoother, too! It works great as a primer, too. I've used Smashbox primer and Laura Mercier one, but this is the best by far in terms of primer.
Makeup
Clinque High Lengths Mascara: I got this free, it's one of those comb type mascara wands, it gives really nice length and separation. I still prefer Lashblast as I prefer volume vs length. But it's fantastic for lower lashes and also hard to reach lashes! Also, I find that it gives better length and volume than diorshow (If someone wants a comparison shot of both them on the lashes let me know
) One con of the product is that it doesn't seem to hold curls well as it could.
MAC Quad 3 (Purple):I love this quad so much! One of the colours (Mink Pink) is pretty much useless for me, but the greatness of Black Tulip and Bruised Plum more than make up for it!
Bubblegum l/s: It's such a pretty pink colour! Love the subtle purple coming through, too. I can't wait to get lavender wind, I think it'll be perfect with it.
Azalea Blossom b/o: It has become my almost everyday blush, I think it's a perfect blush for spring and summer for me. It gives this wonderful cool pink flush to my face, giving a cool refreshed look. Usually pinks blushes either get drowned out by my red cheeks when I get hot, or makes it look worse giving me this hot and flustered kind of look.
Ripe Peach b/o: I think I'll used this more in autumn, it gives this wonderful glow to your face.
Vintage Grape b/o: I only had this blush for 3 days, but I've worn it everyday since I got it. Also, even though I had it for a short while, since what I thought of ripe peach and azalea hasn't changed over time, and also my love for them hasn't dwindled I thought I would put it here. Since the weather here has been cool and dreary, I've worn it to give warmth to my face, it's such a beautiful blush, I didn't get why people liked purple blushes, but I so get it now. It gives this wonderful warm and sultry flush to your cheeks.
Jest e/s: I love this as my inner tear duct highlighter and use it almost everyday. I also use it as my lid colour when I want to have wide awake and bushytailed look.
Anastasia Brow gel: I ride a scooter, so I have to take my fullfaced helmet on and off couple of times a day, and when I come home the brow gel is still working!
It obviously doesn't look as good at the end of the day, but i still have neat looking brows because of this gel. ^_^

A few faves of the moment:
Dirty Plum Blush - I'm so glad I bought this. It is similar to Vintage Grape but it's completely matte and such a pretty colour.
Impeccable Brow Pencil - Nice one MAC!!
Studio Fix Lash - I like it better than Lash Blast
Random Asian Nail Polish Remover - I picked it up in China Town. It's got no name on it but it's pink, smells like roses, is kinda oily and has no acetone smell to it which my boy loves. AND it gets nail polish off really well. Oh and it comes in this cool bottle. You press the top down and the liquid comes out >_< Innovative!
Body Shop Wild Cherry Body Butter - I love love love it! Mmmm smells so good.
Bough Grey e/s - I've been wearing this every chance I get since I bought it. Such a pretty colour!

^ wow really? I've been to mac twice and both times the MAs turned me off it back to SFF. I wanna try it!

I can't wear SFF and Sculpt, because they go really heavy on me! Did MUAs turn you off, because you have oily t-zone? I am super oily and Mineralized foundation does not make my face more oily than other foundations. I actually love how I blot and it doesn't come off! Go and ask MUA to apply half of your face and see if you like it

The mineralise foundation is suitable for all skintypes. The difference between it vs. sculpt/SFF is the coverage; it is more medium coverage whilst the other two and medium to full buildable. Also it is a natural satin finish, so not AS dewy as sculpt, and obviously not matte like SFF.
I've found people who like tech, but don't want as much coverage, really like it. You still have to set it with some form of powder tho. I've found in appts it's good for both young and mature skins coz it's super hydrating.
Give it a go and see how it feels; it might be a good alternative to SFF/Sculpt for every day wear.

They turned me away from it because of my oily T zone, and bc I found mineralize skin finish shifted all over my nose. Another MUA said that if she didn't exfoliate everyday it made her look flakey and accentuated all her imperfections so that scared me off!
I like the matteness of SFF but it's a lot heavier than what I need. I actually have really clear skin so sort of question myself as to why I'm using something so heavy! I alternate btwn SFF and the studio moisture tint set with MSFN which I like, but I get super oily around the nose straight away.
Stuff it, I'm gonna go and try it out. Thanks guys!

^^ An MUA told me you can mix something like strobe cream with SFF or SC to sheer it out - maybe try that??
