MannyMUA X Ofra Charmed

Good morning, y'all.

Time check: 815AM and on the way to work.

I woke up 30 min earlier than needed so that I could go to work early and clear work + buy bread for lunch tomorrow...

But guess who went back to sleep for 15 minutes after breakfast? 🌚

I really need to cut this habit.

Anyway I woke up at 615 yesterday morning to go for a morning jog! Cue loads of photos of the sun rising as I jogged.

Just look at this. 😳 Everything is non-filtered but the colours speak for themselves 👌🏻 Imagine if this myriad of purple pink blue was recreated on a dress of some sort.

I'm still trying to adjust myself to the daily rigour of an 830-530 job, so these sunrise photos gave me a little more motivation to power up. Though running at 630 is really... Not my thing. I ran about 45 seconds slower per km than usual.

And on my last round I saw the sun creeping up in a rush of fiery orange. It still baffles me how the sun can be purple and pink before this, and suddenly it's all orange and grey. #natureswonders 

Not sure if it's just me, but I find that after work, all I want to do is eat dinner in solitude while staring at my phone, then sit in my room alone staring at my computer, as if I didn't already do enough of that during the day.

Maybe it will get better over time!

Received my MannyMUA X Ofra in Charmed yesterday! Thanks @joycelynthiang for holding the PO and staying up late to buy it!

It looks slightly darker in RL compared to the photos though and takes quite some time to dry. When I left the house it still felt tacky but after 30 minute on the train it's not tacky any more. I can feel it drying my lips but it's not more uncomfortable as compared to other lippies, so no complaints considering I got it for $13!

But the smell...

It smells like medicated oil to me? 😵

Not sure if it's just a problem with my nose but it's super unpleasant for me. I can't smell it any more while wearing it, but when I'm applying it... I felt like I was one of those old ladies with their bottles of oil 😂

Wanted to post this morning but training started and I had to keep my phone. 😅

I actually thought Charmed was very similar to Cannes until I swatched it! It's actually darker and less red. Wanted to swatch Lumiere too but I couldn't find it in my messy room. Then I realized that I have lots of lippies that are in the same family of shades now.

End of the day and even though Charmed transferred quite a bit there's still colour left 👍🏻 #dayrebeauty
