The Body Shop Seaweed Ionic Clay Mask

Bought this mask for my husband as clay mask is good for oily skin. It will help to absorb oil, dirt etc. Last time I will do DIY clay mask but now too busy so buy ready mask instead. To save time. However my husband is too lazy to use it. So now I will use it during my bath. For about 10 minutes. Since I will only use for such a short period, usually I will apply a thin layer of it and let it dry. Thick layer will take longer to dry. While waiting for it to dry, it will have a warm effect.

Texture: Thick clay mixture

Aroma: strong clay smell

Colour: Gray

Verdict: i am neutral with it. Work like a normal clay mask but rather expensive. Cost more than S$25. Will only buy again if there is offer.

Clinique Chubby Stick

It has been awhile since I buy a lipstick because I always too lazy to apply it. However recently my lips seem paler and my ex-colleague keeps recommend Clinique's Chubby Stick. Telling me how nice and easy to use.

So I decided to give it a try. However I got no idea which color to choose. So i decided to give its gift set a try so that I can try some of its color. There are two types of gift set.

One of the set, the sticks are in original size and come in 3 shades. If I didn't remember wrongly DFS are selling less than S$70. The other one, the sticks are smaller in size but comes in 5 shades. Currently, there is a promotion on it. Usual is S$52, now is selling at S$48. Hong kong is selling at HK$330. Luckily I didn't buy at Hong kong.

Anyway I got the set with 5 shades. The color are 01 richer raisin (purplish brown), 05 chunky cherry (pinkish red), 07 super strawberry (dark pink), 12 oversized orange and 14 curvy candy (pink). Tried 3 out of the 5. They are quite moisturizing as lips will not feel dry and the colors are quite obvious. But don't expect the color to be super lasting. Till now I still cannot decide my favourite color. Lol.

Cheers.

My new card and hand phone holder

My office holder is dying soon so I'm starting to look for alternatives. As sometimes my outfits don't have any pocket so quite difficult to carry my hand phone, cards etc especially when I am carrying my naughty son.

So this time round instead of finding a card holder, I look for a hand phone casing with cards compartment. Not easy to find as I am looking for more of a pouch to hold my hand phone. Found one at Bugis but only in pink colour and cost more than S$20.

So went and search at G Market. Finally found one and costs less than $10 including mailing cost.

Received in less than a week and the quality is not too bad. Usable. My only worries is its main button. Let's see how long it can last. Anyway I also order another two with plastic covers from taobao.com during my visit to China. I believe one is the same holder and the other is a different brand. However still waiting for my mother to bring back as they have not arrive when I left China.

Can't wait to get hold of them. Cheers.

Kenzo perfume sales

I'm looking for a perfume for myself. Kenzo is one of my choice as I love the perfume's bottle design. Lol.

However I'm also looking at other choice such as Kiehl's and L'Occitane.

Tomorrow Kenzo is having a one day perfume sale. Just nice for me to take a look. :)

Btw Sitex 2012 is on! From today till 25th November. 11am to 9pm daily. It is at Singapore Expo hall 4B, 5 and 6. I will like to go but difficult to bring my son.

My one and only birthday gift

My birthday has came and gone for less than a month. This year celebration was rather simple. Maybe age is catching up, birthday seems less important and don't really want to celebrate much.

A meal with my husband and presents!!! Oops sorry this year only 1 present!! A Kate Spade bag. Not my usual style bag as it is rather small and formal. However I think I am lacking such bag. Rather useful when I have more formal functions. Of course I don't have much function but occasionally I will have wedding dinner to attend. And this bag will come useful!!!

Cheers. :)

My cooking

Every weekend if i do stay at home, I will try to cook for my husband and myself. As our area got limited "makan" place. However I prefer one dish meal as I am too lazy. Lol.

Thus usually I will boil soup. Easier to cook and I love soup. So I will add meat such as pork rib for my husband and vegetables for myself. Healthier too as less oil etc.

Here are some of my soup that I cook.

New shoes from Mitju

When Mitju is having 20% off for every 3 pairs of shoes purchase, I got 3 for myself. 1 pair is still waiting to be transfer over to the Bugis outlet. Anyway it is the same design as the left pair except it is in almond colour.

I find the shop at Bugis has limited designs. Think the 1 at Plaza Singapure is better! However it is not so convenient for me to go there. Maybe next time.

Anyway I have enough shoes for now. So now no more buying for me.

Cheers.

Outfits for the week

Wednesday I have meeting and work lunch so put on my current favourite jacket from G2000. I am also wearing a $10 blouse from Bugis street and an ankle blank pants. All my black belts are spoil so no choice but to use a red one.

Wish list: Black thin belt

I have not wear two piece skirt for awhile. So Tuesday I wore a black white strip skirt with a gray top and match them with a black cardigan. Not super nice, I guess but still ok. Lol.

Kiehl's products

Kiehl's is one of the brands I like most.  Because their prices are quite affordable and some products do help with my skin.

Some of my favourite Kiehl's products.

1. Acne Blemish Control Daily Skin-Clearing Treatment (Retail price about S$54)

I use this whenever my pimples, white and black heads are showing.  I feels it helps to minimize them.

2. Acai Damage-Repairing Serum (Retail price about S$84)

Like this light weight serum with a nice scent. And if you are a Kiehl's products users, you should know that their products are always lacking of fragrance!  Plus it is organic certified.  Paraben and silicone free too.

And my husband favourite is Ultra Facial Oil-Free Cleanser (Retail price S$43).  He feels this cleanser cleans his oily face well and yet not over drying.  But not much scent.

However, there are some products from Kiehl's that I will not use again as I do not find them useful.  They are Over-Night Biological Peel (Retail price more than S$100) and Double Strength Deep Line Filler (Retail price about S$72).  For the peel, I do not like its smell and secondly, I do like to have a layer of sticky stuff on my face while sleeping.  Whereas for the filler, maybe I did not use regularly thus there is not much effect on me.  And I am too lazy to apply so many products.

Lastly, here is a list of products that I will like to give it a try.

1. Rare Earth Pore Minimizing Lotion which supposes to help minimize and refine the look of pores.  And Amazonian White Clay helps to absorb excess oil.  That's sound what I need.

2. Rare Earth Pore Cleansing Masque also help to minimize the appreance of pores.  My ex-colleague wife loves this mask as she feels is very good.

3. Midnight Recovery Eye.  I am still looking for the right eye gel.  Will be trying Alba Botanica, Green Tea Eye Gel, 1 fl oz (30 ml) and see how it turns out.

4.  Midnight Recovery Concentrate.  My colleague said it helps to make her skin radiant.  But a bit worry as it is oil.  So still thinking about it.

Anyway need more information about Kiehls, do check out their website, http://www.kiehlstimes.com/.

Cheers.
