Ah, I love that song.

Bought some nail polish during lunch break. Plan to paint my nails later ^__^ I don't really like much makeup (makes me break out, hah), tends to be crazy expensive (at least, the kinds that don't make me break out... as much), and I don't ever use it all up.

But nail polish seems like it could be safe. Also, I just found some brands sell tiny vials, which are very inexpensive: 10 pesos each for the smallest size (that's approximately 20 cents, converted to USD ;-)). So there's plenty of opportunity for experimentation, and if I don't use it all up, well I'm only wasting a little money/little polish.

I wanted a light blue, or some fresh-looking green, or a deep maroon, but most of this brand is various shades of red/pink/weird-garish-glitter.

So I got: black (eggplant color?), super black (why didn't they just call the black "eggplant" and this "black"?), super white, platinum, and love (light pink shade. I'm not sure what I think about love as a light pink shade *doubtful*)

Will play later!

What you need is non-comedogenic makeup, ie. it doesn't clog up your pores, so it shouldn't cause pimples. ATM I'm using Ettusais by Shiseido, which is pretty good and not so expensive. Maybe you can find that somewhere in the Phils?

Shiseido is great! My sister (who has skin almost as sensitive as mine) uses it, and usually it doesn't cause any breakouts. I've found it a bit too expensive to buy for myself, though, unless I'm in HK

(Or JAPAN :D)

I don't know about Shiseido itself, which is probably expensive everywhere and perhaps more suitable for older skin? Ettusais is a separate range by Shiseido for acne-prone skin.
