I find that nowadays my love for makeup just keeps getting stronger and stronger.

(And my purse, just keeps getting thinner and thinner.)

And it’s such a coincidence that at this point of time, the local cosmetics industry is blooming with new brands popping up right front and center. I’ve tried and tested a couple of them, but unfortunately still not a fan (also because I stumbled upon an article on lippies being mass produced by factories and how celebrities can just go and buy them in bulk, repackage them and stamp their names on it. Have you read the article? What do you think? Because I see more and more local products being made and yet the quality is...) and I’d still head to Sephora whenever I needed a supply.

And the latest local brand to venture into cosmetics? dUCk cosmetics! (The box says it's formulated in the UK btw, so not from the above bulk cosmetics article)

Was at the launch last few weeks which I haven’t blogged about – will save it for another day, I promise. This post is because I was wearing their lip gloss one day when I was out.

My verdict?

Last month, my editor sent me an email.

“Dear Zatil, bla bla bla.. I hope to receive a new article from you soon!”

Like a smack in the face.

I remembered yesterday that Rafiy is now 3 months old (when he couldn’t fit his newborn socks anymore) and I have yet to do a post on his milestones.

(Like I did with Rayyan before, until he was 1 year plus. Boy, firstborns are such exciting creatures for new parents, aren’t they?)

So in case Rafiy read this blog many many years down the line and couldn’t find his milestones post, here’s one.
