Hello! So glad its weekend isn't it?

I've started to pack my stuffs into boxes as I will be moving in a couple more days. Stressful!!

I've decided not to take a picture for this one, and do a quick review (so that I could get rid of the bottle ha!)

Anyway, here is what Shu Uemura says:

Foxy Frangipani Says:

Crabtree Evelyn Says:

Spray on a light veil of nurturing moisture anytime your skin feels dry or stressed. Formulated with marine extracts, grapeseed, panthenol and glycerin to condition your skin and help it maintain the ideal moisture balance.

 

 

One of my favourite range from Crabtree Evelyn!

The La Source range reminds me of the relaxing cool breeze. Very ideal for both day and night. For day dreaming too :P

Very suitable for day use because it is non greasy. Spritz on and pat a little for a quick pick me up - the gorgeous scent stays on long! 

Too bad they don't produce this anymore.

It's Skin Says:

Collagen serum concentrated with vegetable collagen extracts hydrates the skin from the inside, giving it a look of effervescence and resilience immediately after applying.

Foxy Frangipani Says:

Scent: None
Nett Wt:30ml

Texture: Runny liquid 

I hauled this back from Korea last year :)

There were so many Power 10 Formula to choose from I really want them all.

I like that it comes with a dropper.. and I use 1 full pump for the whole face and neck. Because of its runny texture, it is very easy to apply and absorbs almost immediately. Non-sticky.

However I find that if I do not use BB cream or foundation after, my face tends to get a little too glowy mid-day. No such problem with a little makeup after application.

It doesn't break me out, and no negatives etc. I believe it does hydrate, but the effect isn't very obvious. And these days I spend less time taking care of my skin - my mornings are rushed, work late everyday, pretty irregular meals, and came back feeling dead. If on top of all that my skin didn't dry out, its something, yeah? :)

Vintage Sister Says:

Foxy Frangipani Says:

Scent: Bubblegum
Nett Wt: 0.25oz
Price: I think about USD3.00 (before discount)

I bought this together with some other lip balms and elbow greases some time back, and am finally willing to review it haha!

What attracted me to this was:-

- The cute tin!

- The cute drawing on the tin :P

- The flavour of the balm

Well yeah, the tin is cute - small and handy and comes in a sliding top.

I got this even though I don't really fancy dipping my finger into it and don't really want to use a brush each time too, but you know when the packaging is cute and fancy...

So I just put this by my laptop.. and each time I feel a little dry on the lips, I use this (wash hands prior of course!!).

It tastes like... bubblegum! Sweet and candy like.

I don't know about winter (I wish I have it here!) but this keeps my lips soft and comfy. Long lasting power too (only need once, unless I feel like finishing this fast). Doesn't feel waxy.. just smells realllly sweet.

The only thing I don't really fancy is the purchase experience.. The items got delayed like.. more than a month.

The Body Shop Says:

A beauty classic returns. This foaming cleanser is gentle on the skin and smells of fresh passion fruit.

How To: 

Massage a small amount into damp skin in an upward circular motion. Rinse with clean water. If product gets into eyes, rinse with clean water.

Foxy Frangipani Says:
Scent: Fruity
Texture: Gel
Nett Wt: 250ml
Price: I think it was RM29.90 for 2 (sale)

I've just finished the first bottle (lasted about 3-4 months). The smell is really fruity, but sometimes I find it a little stale-ish. 

This cleanser is not for evening use - not good for removing makeup or sunscreen. It is however very suitable for morning use where you need very very mild cleansing. It cleanses alright with a cool rinse after that. Doesn't dry or make skin feels tight.

It lathers slightly, rinses off pretty easily. Doesn't sting my eyes.
But that's about it I guess. Not much to love, but I think I would repurchase this if they are on sale again. RM15 for one 250ml bottle is very worth it :)

Aloha babes!

Quick hellos... I'm still taking my sweet time moving to new place :)

Still thinking how / what to arrange on my new dressing table *grins*

So glad it is weekend again... and as usual, a great way to end the work week would be....

A hot drink:

I usually go for Green Tea Latte, but decided a change to Hazelnut Hot Chocolate instead. Hmm somehow I still prefer Green Tea.. I think either the milk or the beef rice dinner is making me a lil sick ugh.

What is a better way to welcome the weekend? 

A small purchase! :D

I swatched the Rimmel Lasting Finish 1000 Kisses lip tint and was quite impressed. Like the shade 700 Nothing But Nude, and when I tried to rub it off 10 seconds later, nothing happened. Hmmm like permanent marker haha.

Got this for RM29.90

And I tried it once I got home, the shade appears a little darker.. like coral. Like it, and will try it again tomorrow... 

And, it is raining heavily now *nice*

Cool and windy.. I think I'll go and snuggle.. happy weekend! :)

* Rimmel Says:

1000 Kisses Lip Tint gives your lips a royal flush of intense, vibrant colour that stays on duty and ready for action for hours - leaving no trace, so your kisses never tell.

The speedy two-step application delivers a fabulously flawless finish that is totally on trend and just begs to be kissed. A precision pen-tip delivers the mistake-free colour you're looking for and a caring balm seals the deal, giving lips the extra moisturising they've been waiting for.

There are 6 must-have shades in a translucent colour-matched design that gives you the freedom of being able to re-invent your look every day.

Superdrug Says:

When your skin is in need of a boost, apply the serum to give your skin an immediate lift. It stimulates and accelerates the skin own cell regeneration of the top skin, so it works to renew your complexion, restoring radiance and helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. 

Collagen boosting pentapeptides and retinol combine to promote a firmer, younger looking complexion. The ingredients in this advanced serum help prevent further skin damage and boost skin's elasticity. 

The serum also contains ingredients (vitamin E and Green Tea) that act as antioxidants for protection against free radicals, environmental pollutants and the aging effects of sun damage. Your skin will feel smoother, firmer and look visibly younger in just 4 weeks!

Foxy Frangipani Says:
Nett Wt: 30ml
Texture: Lotion
Scent: Baby powder
Made in: UK

I love browsing the local drugstore for random finds. On some days, I score items that are rarely found here.

I do think that this serum is too rich for my combination skin. Not daily use. I use this about 3x per week, evening only. One and half pump each time, for massage including my neck. The baby powder scent is very relaxing.. and after massage, it leaves a dewy glow.

Then, no thick moisturizer after. Or risk having hair and dust and sand on the face. Actually just hair.. :P

The serum is not runny, nor too thick. Just nice to spread. I like the pump as it means less chances of accidental spills / germs contamination; and no need to wash spatulas before/after each use. Yes! I am a lazy lazy person :D

I'm happy to gloat that I do not have wrinkles or sagging yet... so, I don't know if it really lifts! Lol, but I do know my skin look plump after each massage and the morning after (so yes to firmer skin!). With careful use (no overdose) my skin is clear most of the time..

Happy with this product, but not re-purchasing only because I have too many to finish for now.. :)
