September/Oct Finished Products

Hello all! I'm sorry, we've been missing-in-action because school has been literally sucking our blood away. :( In anycase, here's a review for the following items that were finished in the month of September/Oct! (I know, I can't get any later than this.)

1. SunPlay SPF65 Watery Cool 

I really like this sunscreen due to it's light, watery texture that instantly gets absorbed by my skin - it's a good thing because I rush like a monkey in the morning and it's impossible for me to wait for anything. No clogging of pores or running of make up. Infact, it feels like nothing after it sets within a few minutes - except that lovely tingly menthol sensation. I don't exactly use this on a daily basis because of the high SPF ( I like being tanned :) but on days when I'm already burnt, and I would like like some extra protection for my raw skin - this is definitely my choice! Perhaps, if you are interested, the lower SPFs one might be much more suitable on a daily basis! :)

2. Formula 10.0.6 So Totally Clean Cleansing Toner.

I got this because I was quite on a low budget at one point of time and was in desperate need of a toner! I don't quite like this product, because it leaves a sticky film on my face after application. It claims to have a couple of marine ingredients within the bottle - which translates to its scent. I can literally smell a seaweed in this bottle. Haha. But on the other hand, it does removes dirt and all that from my face. I think my face would be much more terrible if I slept with all the gunk that I managed to remove with this! I won't be repurchasing this though.

3. Vichy Normaderm Anti Imperfection Hydrating Care.

 This moisturiser is pretty amazing because it dries matte and leaves a powdery texture when dry! It does an awesome job in the hydration part as well and allows my BB cream to sit on it all day long. BUT it's kinda pricey. My mom got this for me... Hahahah. So if finances allow, I will defo repurchase this!

This, well, I didn't see any significant change in my eye circles/bags even though I used it daily for like 3 weeks? Oh well. I wouldn't be repurchasing this since it doesn't have much of an effect on me. Besides the fact that the product is actually tinted skin-tone, and that it seems to be absorbed pretty quickly...I can't seem to like it otherwise! If only it worked on me, I will definitely repurchase this, but now, I guess not.

4. Stage - Liquid Eyeliner in Woodstock (brown)

My Holy Grail! I love this eyeliner to bits because the brown is unlike many browns which are tinted red. Lovely natural brown that stays on all day. A pity Stage has already closed down :( 

and other stuff that needs no reccomendation..

5. St Ives Apricot Scrub - Fresh Skin. (got my back up already!:)

---

Till then guys! :)

Matchy Matchy

Since I'm blonde now.... There's only 1 problem.... my BLACK eyebrows... :/

Eye brow tint to the rescue!!!!!

(How's my impersonation???? ^.^) sooo, I bought it in watsons its some facial hair dye by sally hanson! AND it's real cheap! only $9.90 omgggggg

It's really easy to use... just mix the 2 solution given....

and apply it to your eyebrow... wait for 5-10 minutes.... (do check the hair every mintue or so to look out for the shade desired)

And TA_DA!!!!! Tinted eyebrow... the colour is not very obvious here due to my lousy camera :( My eyebrow colour is really light now (as i left it on for quite some time) and I love it! :D promise to change my camera soon hehehe :)

This tint is not bad! I dont feel itch or pain during the application nor anything much after that... I think it's quite user friendly also, pretty much idiot-proof :) so girls and boys! GO AHEAD :D

XOXO

FPOTM: June 2011

Hi everybody!

Because I have simply too much stuff (I find, that is), I have decided to come up with this Finished-Products-In-A-Month Challenge. Which is simply to post up pictures and reviews of the items that I have completed in that particular month. The objective is pretty simple, that is to use items on a regular basis (read: religiously) to complete them. And also to generate some posts for this blog. Oh, of course, to curb my boredom before school starts!

To start of the end of a mid year: Finished Products for June 2011!

I knowww, only 4 products. But I only thought of this challenge thingy around midweek. So I hope I have more stuff in July !

1. Mandom Cleansing Express - Brighten & Moist.
This is somewhat like a toner that claims to brighten(blue)/moist(white) your skin as you apply them throughout the days. I got them in sample size and I practically took forever to use them up. I brought them to Taiwan last year, but the moisturising properties weren't enough for the sudden change in climate I believe. My face still flaked and I came back to Singapore with a very crispy nose. Hahahah. I think they're pretty alright. Nothing fanciful or outta the world but does it job's just good. Oh, it's really great for lazy people (ie: Me), especially when you're all dead tired from a long hectic day. Just slather the white bottle (moist) product on your face and you're good to concuss. And when you're awake, after your cleansing, just slather on the blue bottle (brighten). I usually do that ;)


2. The Face Shop - Quick & Clean Sebum Control Toner.
I like this alot! But it's pretty expensive at a price of $24.90 - especially so when I used this up within 2 & half months or so? I use this twice a day and I really like how well it picks up dirt and all that excess dead skin on the surface of my face. It's lemongrass scented (naturally) and I really like how refreshing it feels on my skin. I initially thought that it's probably just another Toner, but it has proved otherwise with my skin reacting positively towards it. My mini pimples have definitely gotten smaller and less inflamed - thus healing faster. I guess that's where the sebum control part work! :)

3. Beauty Formulas - Cucumber & Avocado Facial Scrub (Refreshing)
I got this because the local watson's ran out of my other staple facial scrub. It wasn't a bad substitute. It's mild cleansing properties allowed me to use it daily without scrubbing my entire face off. I love the whipped cream texture of this scrub & it's my daily exfoliator. As compared to certain brands, the microbeads aren't too many - I prefer more of those microbeads because they're like equivalent to how much scrubbing your face is gonna get. It's like a psychological thing I believe. Hahhaa. This entire tube costs less than $8 and it lasted me for a good year.

That's all for June! Busy month, and I think July is gonna be worst - I foresee some shopping for school (excuses)

PS: Cynthia you should do this too! You have too many!
