My collective haul from Guardian - last Christmas 2012.
The first batch - after much drooling at the catalogue and planning. The Live-Well supplements are so worth the price. Second set at 50% off. So one for mom and another for myself. Lately my kneecaps aren't feeling that great.
Palmers! Look at those new range of lotions. The gel type I've already reviewed. Love. But I saw another with SPF15 recently. Haven't got that yet. And the Loreal Youth Code - I have been using it for 2 months + by now.
Bottom left are all freebies. I was eager to try the Palmers Facial Serum, all the outlets I went to didn't have it! :(
Untill New Year's Day when I was casually browsing, Guardian happens to have the offer for vouchers again. The Husband as usual will spend on supplements, so we got the Zinc tablets.
I FINALLY FOUND THE PALMERS FACIAL SERUM!!! Of course I had to get it :D
And more Palmers freebies yay! And lucky I waited, because My Beauty Diary cleansers were on Buy 1 Free 1.
Oh and surprise! Guardian gave me Loreal Brush which I am currently using.
Finally (Finally? Really?) from the second haul, we had some vouchers to spend. One thing I dislike is that the vouchers only last a week. So we had to think what to buy (??!?)
Nivea's new range of course. They smell so fresh I really wanted to try myself if I agree with all the raves. I hope I'll like the day cream (after Naruko) because I've been using some crappy ones but didn't want to waste; but I might just use them up on my legs instead.
The Husband forgot to pack his shaver back, so we took a trip to the drugstore. And I think its a sign to cheer myself up.. (I'm homesick sobs. Its CNY and I'm not at my "own" home).
Revlon Just Bitten Kissable BalmStain is selling at RM26+ what a steal yeah! No I didn't grab all. I managed to refrain and picked only 1. I know I'm supposed to watch my spending this year.
After all I've decided that this snake year is using up products year ;)
I picked 001 Honey a mild pink shade. I am not comfy wearing bolds so this would do nicely.
And Nivea deo as backup. Actually we wanted to meet the RM50 limit for voucher lol. I've recently came to accept roll-on deo. I used to only like anti perspirant but with the negatives about them... I've converted.
These deos are fine. I used to shun them for being sticky and takes ages to dry. Now.. I found a workaround in my routine so iy dries ok.
Happy Chinese New Year to all. Have a great festive season with loved ones and may you be showered with love, health and prosperity :)
Last weekend I went shopping @ Guardian with Mom and The Boyfriend.
Pleasant trip as I always end up buying something :P
Mom bought this Hydrating Mask from Guardian (about $13.90 I think). 5 Sheets per box.
She is very into anything hydrating.. lol. Anyway she gave me one to try on.
The Description:
Intensively hydrates and nourishes your delicate skin.
With: Phyto-collagen, Sodium Hyaluronate, Pomegranate Extract, B-glucan, Vitamin E.
-Formulated in Korea, made in China
User Feedback:
Upon opening the package, there are white colored essence inside. Similar to Cosway's Milk Mask.
There aren't too much essence like My Beauty Diary or Watsons' Mask, but enough to wet the mask sheet.
The smell isn't over-whelming, but nothing like pomegranate.
I had it on for about 30 mins (the instruction says 10-15 mins). By then the mask sheet was already half dried.
It left me with some stickish residue.. I massaged the essence in, but not comfy enough for me to sleep with it. So I wiped my face with sponge once-over and slathered on some moisturizer.
Overall I find this a so-so product. I don't think I will re-purchase this although I do find it hydrating. But Watson's are better.
Do you like house brand products? Or do you think they are cheap and low in quality?
I find myself more willing to try house brands these days, probably because:
- the recession (haha)
- the packaging is much nicer now
- the products look like they'd do a pretty decent job while saving some $$$.
I bought this Cocoa Butter & Vanilla Hand Cream for only $5.74 - 350ml.
What a steal!
I'm happy to certify that this hand cream is keypad friendly!
I love hand creams, and my number 1 requirement is that they don't leave my hands feeling sticky and stain my laptop. I'm always with my laptop (work and home), and I hate the shiny oily stain some creams leave. But no.. this is perfect! Well absorbed within a few seconds.
The smell... mmmmm for a mo I was thinking hard for that word. Smells so familiar...
and then... SARSI!!! Yep, smells sweet and Sarsi-ish.
I don't know how long this bottle will last me.. I use it like every hour or so.
Its now standing proudly next to my laptop :)
I love this as much as my Crabtree & Evelyn Hand Butters... muaks!
I love it more for the price!
