<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">My my… what happened to beauty via diligence? That our fingers are the best beauty tools; and that those warm nimble digits improve cream absorption and adhere makeup better to our skin.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 24px;">Technology has indeed made us lazier – a lot lazier. First there were the brushes in all types of imaginable shapes.</span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 24px;">Apparently we now need an electric powder puff in out lives heh heh. I found this affordable version about RM15 at Mr DIY recently (definitely not paying the premium price for the branded version). So this is supposed to promote blood circulation and shrink pores – you know this is not going to happen right?</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 24px;">It operates on a lithium cell. One on off button.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 24px;">So after trying this out, my findings:</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 24px;">– It is quite easy to use. Pat in on the powder, turn it on and move gently on the skin.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 24px;">– Gives an overall okay foundation finish. Not bad at all, but nothing like I couldn’t live without.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 24px;">– Takes a tad bit longer than my usual method with a brush.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">– So the downside is the sponge is not removable. Meaning, expect no replacement sponges. Not really sure what would happen if I couldn’t wash the sponge too. It would be too icky for me!</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 24px;">In the end this could be a use-10-times-and-toss type of puff, assuming it gets damaged once I wash the sponge. If so, then definitely not a repurchase for me. Good to experience it, but not great enough to earn a permanent spot on must have list.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hello,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm back after a long disappearance!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As I blogged about Potions Junkie being lost in space (<a href="http://lifeofafoxysiren.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">link here</a>); I was annoyed and worried at the same time that all my blog entries would be lost - forever. I don't have backups of my posts.. usually I would just type as thoughts come to mind (anyone has a great backup system to share please?)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the earlier months I tried to recover the blog but everything was too technical on the general forum. No one was replying to my post. I then thought might as well take a break to see if I miss blogging..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Turns out I do miss it. I miss churning out random thoughts but at the same time, was thinking what if I blog again from scratch and the same thing happen again? That my blog would suddenly disappear? I was particularly annoyed as I couldn't locate a proper contact to Blogger team to address an issue.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Tonight I have even set up a new Wordpress account after I posted a help request one last time. Thankfully just within an hour, a kind person helped me out...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">... hence, I'm back! Happy!</span>Foxy Frangipanihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16836910292950287159noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4201572100247543083.post-76752505903796596572013-12-11T00:26:00.001+08:002013-12-11T00:29:49.534+08:00AMPM Skin Ecological Indoor Defense Cream<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Together with the Skin Ecological Complex, I bought these on BOGO too. But I don't remember how much. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've used up both (all 4) by now, and time to get rid of the bottles and tubes. Spring cleaning- yet again!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These IDC come in a toothpaste like tube, each 30g.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is slightly yellow in color, and feels like thick yogurt. When applied after the SEC, it absorbed almost immediately and skin felt matte. It is softly scented, I don't find it annoying my nose at all.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I find this having a great oil control function - because when paired with SEC - my skin was constantly in great condition. No mid day oiliness, end of day fatigue, signs of exhaustion. Just nice and matte. :D</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is also the reason why I've been complaining of the lack of a suitable day cream, after this one finished. (but I might have found a near replacement hehe). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Definitely looking to repurchase this soon.</span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6eSYRKP0q8FZA0-dNPOAdyUgCuZZ3NtZoPN2I5FlcSgFLfQ-ubeC1YNBgraP2i4tp9PnYaUrexw0tMqalsxO_Wj1kKguBqEzXTHjwcYrVSmoDZzMCbapptO5xMhBAfy7UIdybnOQ0Fwa2/s1600/20131211_002826-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6eSYRKP0q8FZA0-dNPOAdyUgCuZZ3NtZoPN2I5FlcSgFLfQ-ubeC1YNBgraP2i4tp9PnYaUrexw0tMqalsxO_Wj1kKguBqEzXTHjwcYrVSmoDZzMCbapptO5xMhBAfy7UIdybnOQ0Fwa2/s640/20131211_002826-1.jpg"> </a> </div>Foxy Frangipanihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16836910292950287159noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4201572100247543083.post-23786851177067246802013-12-11T00:14:00.002+08:002013-12-11T00:14:38.957+08:00AMPM Skin Ecological Complex<div dir="ltr">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Nett Wt</b>: 30ml</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Price</b>: In the RM20+ range (I bought these at a discounted price + BOGO)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These were one of the best buys from my Taiwan trip. The texture of the serum is watery but when applied did not appear whitish. They absorb beautifully without the slimy feel.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I find these rather similar to Dermalogica Booster. But of course, at a much cheaper price. My skin tends to look healthy and supple when I apply this, sans redness which I'm prone to. </span></div>

<p dir=ltr>* Almost 99% of the time I'd be dammed lazy to go through the entire routine. Usually I'd be out all day with lots of walking and would come back very late at night. I won't even wanna shower but that's non-negotiable. </p>
<p dir=ltr>* Of course when I pack for the trip I'd do the complete routine including makeup and all. But most of the time I couldn't even be bothered with foundation. </p>
<p dir=ltr>* I would however cleanse properly. Double cleanse. Scrub and masks; if any means I'm extra diligent. I occasionally will use sheet mask (when I will up myself to lie still and not busy taking pics of my loot). My multiple findings are scrub is a must too if the stay is longer than 4 days. </p>
<p dir=ltr>* Next a moisturising toner. Eye cream and then serum and moisturiser.  Because sleeping with air conditioning zaps my skin dry. For longer trip I'd pack sleeping mask. </p>
<p dir=ltr>For my recent 3 days trip here are the items I actually reached for.. consistently. </p>
<p dir=ltr>= cotton pads and ear buds. Useful to exfoliate with toner. You do clean your ears right?</p>
<p dir=ltr>= hair leave in conditioner. My long hair is giving me the ÷=£₩/_£@$ if I don't use something to condition. This is a repeated purchase. My long hair don't PMS on me when I spritz this on.</p>
<p dir=ltr>= lip balm. Well same like for skin. I can't stand tight dry lips.</p>
<p dir=ltr>= eye cream. Sachet sample is best and most convenient. </p>
<p dir=ltr>= serum and moisturiser. Same as eye cream.</p>
<p dir=ltr>= scissors. To cut those sachets. I hate to tear with hand as it would look disfigured (crazy).</p>
<p dir=ltr>= perfume. Alot of walking means potential body odour. Keep fresh and smell nice.</p>
<p dir=ltr>= panty liner. Hehehe I pack alot of these as I need to feel dry and fresh on the go. </p>
<p dir=ltr>However I do need to amp up on diligence in using sunscreen and some sheer foundation. After all I do wanna look good in pics! :)</p>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Price:</b> RM98 from Sasa, but they always have sales (Buy 1 Free 1 / second at 50%)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Before I stopped frequenting Sasa (Penang branch - I dislike their arrogant salespersons and their lack of product knowledge); I am glad I got this gem.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Because for sometime now, I haven't manage to find another BB Cream as good as this :S</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This BB cream is not thick and makes application quite a breeze. I usually just blend with fingers. It gave me flawless dewy finish which lasted the whole day. No need for powder. It did however leave a slight grey cast upon application, but it adjusted to my skin tone perfectly minutes after that. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When I had this on, you can't tell my skin is prone to redness. Now I only wish it doesn't have to cost RM98 heh.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As I only had 1 of this, I used this on my second trip to KL with the serum. This texture is much thicker, and lighter in colour. But the scent is similar to the serum.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Upon application I feel an immediate suppleness on skin. Together with the citrusy scent it felt relaxing. However with continuous use I find it a little too rich for my skin; and I need to blot more. Couldn't really fault this moisturizer but I wasn't in love with it. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Kiehl's gives the most generous samples ever! 5ml of this Acai Serum lasted me about 5-7 uses :)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now next to the Midnight Recovery Concentrate, this is my favourite item from Kiehl's. I'll tell you why..</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With most samples, I tend to save them for holidays use. So I packed this with me during two of my trips to KL recently. First was for a friend's wedding. It was quite a mad rush trip and earlier with some very very late nights; then there was meeting up with relatives and shopping mad before the wedding dinner. So my skin was kinda dull.. from the lack of sleep.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I used this without expecting anything in specific (also my skin dislike the air conditioning). The texture is quite runny, and brown in colour. I love the citrusy scent but had a hard time exacting the smell. It spreads and absorb easily and fits my requirement when it didn't leave me a tacky feel.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But boy.. the next morning I woke up to really good looking skin. Of course I couldn't believe my eyes so I asked The Husband to verify lol. Just one application and I see supple well rested skin. Whoa, but after the sachet I told myself to calm down.. maybe I was a little OTT.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then the next trip - I fell sick with food poisoning. I spent the night throwing up with no sleep. But even when I was sick, I still care about my skincare. Again I was so pleased when the sun rose and I can see myself clearly.. I didn't have to look haggard going to the doctor lol. Skin looks healthy, just the stomach sick then.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The only thing that holds me back from rushing to the store and buying a full bottle? I have too many serums at the moment :( Also my MRC are coming to an end (after lasting so long!) I sure look forward to purchasing the serum soon. Airport - travel exclusive size please?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It has been a couple of months since I stopped buying monthly magazines. This used to be my favourite activity until... I find myself out of living space. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And worse I didn't like throwing them away so then clutter happened and I got stressed. Gee.. so I started to just browse and read online. If I do see too many interesting products the magazines come home with me heh.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This month's Female caught me with some freebies. A travel size Darlie toothpaste and Lactacyd samples. What a perfect timing. 2 holiday trips are coming up and yes I ran out of travel toothpaste. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I don't like bringing the full size- too heavy. But buying travel size are usually not worth the money pftt so this comes handy. Also the Lactacyd samples are convenient to use. I've used a couple duting my last Bangkok trip so 2 more samples are great. They keep me fresh hassle free. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There's also a redemption for Clarins Double Serum which I've redeemed. 7 sachets for 7 days use. Am still considering if to bring these along.. I do have older samples to use..</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Real Techniques brushes has been in my wish list for a long long time. I stalked iHerb for sometime and when I was sent a 20% discount code, the wait has ended :P</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">In short, I love this brush. It is not heavy despite the size. Its bristles are really soft to touch and not scratchy. I use this with most powder products and applies wonderfully. Very even application.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">The best part is that it is super easy to clean. It dries <em><u>almost immediately.</u></em> I usually will dab with an absorbent towel before leaving it to dry. And it doesn't shed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />

This review is based on a sample sachet trial. </p>
<p dir=ltr>I'm on holiday now and am trying to use up some samples. After day 2 I couldn't be bothered with BB Cream anymore and head out without makeup. </p>
<p dir=ltr>I initially thought it was a cleansing oil and I rubbed it on dry face. I felt weird because the texture was runny and when rubbed on palm had slight lather... when I add more water it occurred to me that it is a foam cleanser *silly*</p>
<p dir=ltr>It felt light and rinses very well. Doesn't strip my skin dry and my skin feels fresh. Nice. But I don't think it would be a good makeup remover..<br></p>

The original. The best. And still your favorite. Our must-have balms have been playing in purses and pockets since 1991. Beeswax conditions skin, while antioxidant Vitamin E moisturizes. </p>
<p dir="ltr">A final hint of Peppermint Oil provides that one-of-a-kind refreshing tingle. The result? Smooth, supple lips everyone will be buzzing about.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Foxy Frangipani Says :<br>
It is very rare for me to actually finish a tube of lip balm. I'm very surprised when I find I could no longer twist the tube up! Look at the worn look of the tube lol.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This lip balm isn't like Carmex where the texture is too soft. This is firmer and won't melt. It has a soft smell and when applied on disappears in a few secs. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I like how this balm doesn't irritate my lips. No tingling or redness. But makes my lips feel plump and soft. No waxy layer; my lips feels like mine :) One application can last me a couple of hours too. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I wouldn't mind repurchasing this despite being slightly more expensive than the regular drugstore lip balms.</p>

<span style="font-size: small;">I got this as a gift last year and is still currently using this. I like that it didn't need any installation. Just basic rinse and soak for a couple of hours before the first use and we're good to go.</span><br />
<br />
I already have a water filter attached to the tap, so for me this is double filtering. The great thing is this doesn't make the water smell. I wash the unit weekly and refill this twice a day - I drink alot of water! Together with the multiple vitamins that I take daily, I am happy to declare that I don't fall sick as often :D No more weekly sniffles (yes weekly if not twice a week at least)<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">A fresh take on healthier water, Get Clean® Water is a new multipatented water filtration system. Unlike other water pitchers, Get Clean® Water uses a solid block of carbon to clean your water, reducing some pretty nasty contaminants—including up to 99 percent of lead!<br /><br />Get Clean® Water is the first pitcher to use a refillable carbon-block filter system so there’s less plastic to throw away. And it filters 303 liters (80 gallons) of water per filter.<br /><br />Cleaner, healthier water and a cleaner, healthier planet?<br />We can all drink to that!<br /><br />Beats Leading Brands!<br />• Certified to reduce lead, mercury, cadmium and more contaminants while retaining healthy minerals!<br />• Certified to reduce chlorine, thus helps to reduce harmful effects cause by its health-threatening by-products!<br />• Certified to filter 303 liters (80 gallons) - twice as much as leading brands.<br />• First-ever pitcher with refillable carbon-block filter system.<br /><br />The Smart Choice!<br />• Costs only a few cents a liter.<br />• Healthy, great-tasting water.<br />• First automatic pitcher meter that shows gallons filtered - no electricity is required.<br />• Handy and portable.<br />• Save cost - no boiling is required.<br /><br /><b>THE SHAKLEE DIFFERENCE</b><br />SAFE: “Gets the lead out” and more.<br />Get Clean® Water reduces many harmful contaminants that can turn up in your water. And Get Clean® Water is certified by the Water Quality Association (WQA) to reduce lead and more.<br /><br />SMART: Only a few cents a liter.<br />Malaysians are pouring money down the drain by drinking bottled water. For only a few cents a liter, Get Clean® Water gives you clean, great-tasting water—with a smart meter that shows you exactly when to replace your filter. No more guessing.<br /><br />POWERFUL: More clean water every time.<br />Get Clean® Water gets 303 liters (80 gallons) from every hardworking filter—twice as much as big-name brands—and reduces contaminants that can actually turn up in your water and be harmful to your health.<br /><br />GREEN: Keeps the planet green.<br />Get Clean® Water uses the first refillable carbon-block pitcher filter system, so there’s less waste in the landfills. And each filter is made with our sustainable coconut shell carbon, which is better for the environment.</span></div>

<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>Nett Wt:</strong> 60ml<br />
<strong>Made in</strong>: Thailand<br />
<strong>Scent:</strong> Citrus</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><strong>Price</strong>: About 350 - 500 Baht</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span> </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Vitamin C.. they are good for us aren't they? I pop mine daily in the morning. And when I came across this in Bangkok last year, I had to try one.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span> </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">The texture is not sticky or thick, makes application really easy. Doesn't sit on top either. Once absorbed, skin feels smooth to touch. No tingling or sensitivity issue.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span> </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">This is mildly scented - fresh citrus. I only use this at night. Keeps the pimples at bay somehow but does not take care of redness. I find that if I use this continuosly after a month I no longer see any differences. So I skipped a month monthly and I see more positives. 60 ml for the price is really a steal. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span> </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I wouldn't mind repurchasing this one, but I am tempted to check out what is new at Oriental Princess :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This happens to be the only beauty box I purchase amidst all the 12376521 different ones out there. This is my second purchase (I skipped the 1st Box). The first experience wasn't quite a pleasant one as the Nuxe cleanser leaked into the box. However customer service was quick and I was given some Lilac Points as compensation. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I like the fact that I do not need to subscribe to X months. Just buy as and when I feel like it. Not knowing the brands could be risky, but so far with Lilac Box, their products were pretty impressive. I love the Nuxe (love love love loveeee) items, Phyto, and fragrance samples.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This round, we have Babor - I've not tried anything from Babor.. curious to see if I would be an addict :P</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">And Yves Rocher shower gel - very nice smelling.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I've had pleasant experience with Max Factor foundation so the many sachets included are perfect for holidays and trips. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span> </div>

Still this doesn't bother me much as I'm not clumsy with stuffs.</p><p dir="ltr">The killer is its fake medicinal smell. Wait maybe not medicinal but very chemical-ish. And the waxy feel on my lips.. no go. These 2 puts me off from using it though it has SPF.</p><p dir="ltr">Upon application it gives a tingle and feels cool. But I don't think I will continue using it. Definitely not a repurchase. </p>

No such luck as one of it was always out of stock.</p>
<p dir=ltr>Weirdly though I managed to score some items each time. The Husband did some damages too but they were very affordable. </p>
<p dir=ltr>I've got the Baby Choux Base in Mint and Berry. Now I'm praying these base wouldn't give me geisha look. I've used the Berry once and I like the texture. Geisha wise.. maybe need some effort.</p>
<p dir=ltr>However,  I finally found the remaining 2!!! Now complete is my collection. Probably weekend is a good time to experiment.  Have been sad and tired due to some sad events in life. </p>
<p dir=ltr>Perhaps better times coming soon :)</p>

Made in: Korea<br>
Texture: Gel</p>
<p dir=ltr>I bought this from Bangkok 7-11 some time back. This came with a cleanser,  toner and a BB cream.</p>
<p dir=ltr>Lately I've been dissatisfied with the day creams I tried. Either too sticky or too light or made my skin look tired. (Maybe stress causes these because I recently went through some sad events. Loved ones passed on and work got political hmm).</p>
<p dir=ltr>This turned out to be the better one. Not perfect but I do reach out for this alot. The gel texture does not leave my skin sticky - </p>
<p dir=ltr>I pat my palms on my cheeks a couple of times and I am good to go. Hydration wise it does its job decently. Nothing longer than 6 or 7 hours. I prefer something a little more moisturising of course. I did not detect any scent using this.</p>
<p dir=ltr>I quite like this but it didn't meet all my needs so probably not repurchasing this.<br></p>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The main purpose of the trip is for a night of get together; but somehow the shopaholic in me managed to squeeze in time for shopping.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Something drew me into the Etude outlet in Times Square. The Husband scored some super affordable skincare from the collagen range (he blamed me for his growing skincare addiction heh!)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had some samples of the Baking Powder scrub from my Korea trip - I love the scent and texture. So of course its the right time to buy!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My eyes did an autopilot looking for blushers.. and settled on Sweet Recipe Cupcake All Over Color. I picked two out of four as one was out of stock. RM41.90 for 2.. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The window display at Sasa caught my attention - the massage bar. Turned out free with each Loreal Revitalift product. I chose the moisturiser.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Scent:</b> Floral</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Nett
Wt</b>: 30ml</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Made
in</b>: Taiwan</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Texture</b>: White milky lotion</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Another item from my Taiwan trip :)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I remember I was super excited at one of the Watsons outlet because I saw the entire Naruko range there. Spent quite some time browsing and deciding what to buy, because it was sale time (thank you thank you so lucky I was there when many outlets were having sales); many items are either on discount or Buy 1 Free 1 :D</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I didn't have time to browse the internet for reviews on this, but I thought it looked good. I have to try it. And boy I'm glad I did! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ok let me gush about the scent first. If I were to rate what I like most about this serum, it would be the scent. Each time I apply this, I am reminded of Wesak's Day. You know the fragrant floral water that devotees use to bathe the Buddha? Yes this smells just like that. I love it! Its so relaxing.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I use about 3-4 pumps for face and neck. This milky lotion is very easy to absorb, and didn't make my face shiny. No breakouts too. I only use this for day time. I'm already done with the serum :( Lasted me about 1.5 months of once a day use.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now for the brightening effect.. I think it does help a little. Because I've been too slack with the sunscreen (don't ask why, don't shriek too - just another episode of crappy sunscreens and I don't know what other ways to finish them before I open a new one). So, I've been without sunscreen for probably 2-3 months or more now? Sun exposure as usual - lunch time glaring sun for say 3-5 mins? Irregular though.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I didn't develop any new dark spots. While I didn't turn into luminuous Snow White, not getting new dark spots seems kinda great. Right?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Couldn't vouch for firming though, because I've been quite consistant in massage and sagging haven't come visiting :P</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I will most probably repurchase this again because I really love the scent. Ahhh.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">By the way, the glass bottle is quite heavy and its not easy to gauge the content inside. So I am unlikely to take this along for travels.</span></span>
