Shopping Date with Sarah

Met up with Sarah for a shopping date last week,

after I had my 3rd cervical cancer jab! :)

(Ahem, thanks Sarah for holding my hand through the jab!)

I love shopping with Sarah because she really helps me pick out the best stuff!

The bad thing is, she encourages everything! But still, mad ♥ !

Got my hands on a few dresses, rings and two awesome hats!

Been obsessed with my hats for the last week, lol.

I went to Metro with an intention to stock up on my make up stuff,

but couldn't find some brands at the outlet in Paragon.

But here's some stuff that I got from Metro with my gift card!

I've been looking around for a good loose powder and

Sarah recommended me to check out Laneige.

I'm not really picky about my loose powder, except that

the current one that I'm using from Kate is little coarse.

We went to the counter and the sales assistant explained quite

abit about the product and the application; and I was sold!

The powder was very smooth and it smelt really good!

Aside from that, I got my hands on the Laneige Water Sleeping Pack!

I've heard many people rave about this and well, it's just convenient!

Been using it daily ever since. Haven't seen any difference yet though..

The sales assistant was really nice and provided us with free samples!

Haven't had the time to try them out yet, but maybe I will today!

Also, I had to get my hands on the OPI Shatter nail polishes!

I actually popped by Metro at City Square Mall to get my

Revlon Photoready Foundation! But I got it in the wrong shade,

and now I've to make my way back to get it changed! ^%@*&

Next up, popped by Watson's to stock up on my Hada Labo Hydrating Lotion

and the Hado Labo Hydrating Masks! Products that I swear by!

Ever since I've been going for facials to treat my acne,

my skin type has changed from oily to dry!

So to kinda balance out the drying treatments that I've been doing,

I've incorporated hydrating products into my daily skincare regime! :)

Gotta thank Sarah for the awesome company!

I miss having her around daily!!

For our next shopping date, Sarah and I are gonna conquer Bugis! Can't wait!

Like Candy From A Store

So the other day, I popped by the Make Up Store to get what I've been lemming for! :D
It was so exciting and I felt like a little girl getting candy from a store!

Can you make a guess what I got?

It's the Make Up Store's Cover All Mix!
It comes with 2 neutralizers and a concealer in light/dark.

Basically, the redish neutralizer is used to conceal the purples like your undereyes.
If you haven't noticed, I've got terribly bad dark circles and eyebags!
I've tried this but it doesn't really work for me, I think yellow works better.

Anyway, the yellow is supposed to cover up redness like acne and scars.
And as mentioned, it works best to neutralize my dark eye circles!
Previously, Larry the make up artiste had also recommended me to use yellow!
Aside from neutralizing it, it also acts as a highlighter for the undereyes!

My concerns with this product is, it tends to be rather drying and hard to blend.
But I haven't had time to fully test the product yet. I'd probably use this on days
when I'll be heading out and need fuller coverage!

Satur-Scrub-Day!

Because I've been lacking in entries..

I love Saturdays because I get to spend an excusable

30 minutes in the shower without getting nagged at! :)

And why is that so?

Because it is Satur-Scrub-Day!

A self-declared pampering day for a well deserved me!

Lemme share with you guys my 3 favourite scrubs!

For my hair, I'm currently using the Garnier Fructis range

which is a raved about brand from one of my favourite youtube gurus'.

After shampoo and conditioner, I finish off the routine by

slathering on a generous amount of Garnier Fructis Butter Mask!

I kinda love the previous Garnier Fructis Hair Mask that I was

using, but it was in German and uh, I didn't know what mask it was,

aside from the fact that it was for damage control. I absolutely loved it

because it smelt great and it left my hair feeling fuckin' awesome!!

But because my bestfriend couldn't find me the same mask, she got

this Butter Mask for me instead to try out! :) I like it, but don't love it!

Here's what it looks like!

Yeah, it looks and feels exactly like butter!

The mask is targetted for dry, damaged and stressed out hair!

After lathering with soap, I use The Body Shop's Black Olive & Argan Oil Scrub.

I was never into body scrubs because I thought it was

unnecessary until a friend had recommended me to use a scrub

for my back acne problem! I used to use the Ettusais's Acne Mist,

but it only minimized the problem and didn't really get rid of it.

A lady at The Body Shop had recommended me the Spa Scrub range

and between the two scrubs that I had tested, I kinda liked this one

better because it smelt alot more exotic and relaxing!

This is how the texture looks like,

I love that the exfoliant are alot smaller then the regular scrubs,

because it is much gentler on the skin! I love my body scrub the most!

It feels and smell damn good! I could soak in a tub smelling like this forever!

More importantly, I hardly have much problems with my back acne now!

And lastly, after cleansing/double cleansing my face,

I scrub my face with the St. Ive's Invigorating Apricot Scrub!

I love how it smells but I have to say that it doesn't really

do much for me. It doesn't make blackheads any easier to remove.

It probably just does what any other general exfoliants does.

The beads are alot bigger, so it is pretty rough on the face.

It hurts my face pretty badly especially after a facial, when my

face is still feeling pretty sore after all the extraction.

Will be switching scrubs next month, as recommended by

my facial therapist to aid the recover of my complexion.

I have recently switched from the normal type of facial treatment

that I would do, to help with the scarring and my eye bags.

So the switch has kinda caused my face to breakout again.

Nevertheless, my complexion looks alot better now!

It's been about 4 months since I've started going for regular facial

treatments, so hopefully it heals within the next 3-4 months!

Anyway, until the next entry!
