Last year it was their lovely Love Angel that caught my heart; and I got it as my birthday gift this year :) (thank you Darling!)
And now.. a Tinkerbell look-a-like...
So dainty...
So pretty...
So tugging my heart....
Why do they have to tempt me with all the lovelies each Xmas?
'Tis no season to be spending!! >_< ~la la la lala, la la la la....

Its Gift-Me Time..  

Posted by: Foxy Frangipani in , , ,

Yay! I got my package from StrawberryNet today! It was a very pleasant purchase experience. I placed it on the 18th and voila! Here it is today *grins*
I was a little surprised that they sent me 2 emails informing me of my order status – I don’t even have to ask for it. Hmm I’m so itching to open the package but I’m still at work sigh. I need the clock to tick fasssssterrrrrr, quick quick go go!! Bleh.... 1 more hour before I can rip off the package..
*****************************
Ahh so finally done with taking pictures.. (my dog is complaining of neglect). My items were neatly wrapped individually in shades of green, hinting Xmas is around the corner. On one hand I felt really impatient wanting to rip them apart lol, but then as always I took ages in removing the cellophane tape off. Glad to see all came in good condition.

I got a free sterling silver necklace for order above USD25 before 22nd Nov. There were 6 designs to choose from. I forgot what is the name for the one I chose, but I like this one coz it look kinda "occult-ish" :)

Another gift was the Vital Radiant Moisture Boosting Lip Shine. I chose Sheer Spice as I prefer earthy shades..

Samples - Biotherm Skin Vivo  

Posted by: Foxy Frangipani in ,

It was a sunny Friday afternoon, and I had the privilege to work from home. So that means I also get to browse the newspaper without people shooting me dirty looks as if I own the company... So happily I was flipping thru the pages and my eyes suddenly caught an ad by Biotherm. Fine print - can redeem Skin Vivo samples! Ooh la la... c'est tres interessant! *happy!* (Boss, in case you stumble upon / stalk my blog - I didn't go shopping ok. I was really at home sick and I redeemed this few nites after. So stop giving me the knowing look) Anyway, I was only expecting a serum / moisturizer sample, but guess what the BA gave me the eye serum, face serum and moisturizer! *grins* How generous... Now to select the perfect date to try these goodies....

Etsu B300 Potion Mask  

Posted by: Foxy Frangipani in ,

Let's freeze our face! Been sick for a while now, and my skin has became dull and lifeless. Time to pamper it to the max. I've had this mask for quite a while.. and have mixed feelings over it. Why I like it: ~ It firms my skin ~ It hydrates, making my skin look plump. Why I'm not in love with it: x It can be messy during application x It does nothing to tighten my pores x A tad difficult to wash off x E-X-P-E-N-S-I-V-E What I did: Mix the liquid with the powder, and you need to mix them really fast else it curds up. Slather on clean face and neck. One sachet is actually enough for 2 person, else put on a thicker layer including the neck.. Feels like: Jelly, yellowish Smells like: Not heavily scented Relax while waiting for mask to dry.. It tightens after some time, and then wash off. I usually do this before shower so it doesn't mess up the bathroom and hair etc. After masking: ~ Touch - feels smooooooth, and plumpy (like toink toink) ~ Look - a little brighter and livelier

Bioglo Enzyme Mask - Exfoliating & Skin Refining  

Posted by: Foxy Frangipani in , ,

When I saw this product being introduced in Cosway Catalogue, I had this feeling that I really really want it. And badly I wanted it. And bought it. So anyway, I've been using it for quite some time, and I quite like it.  

Here's what Cosway has to say:
Reveal more radiant and vibrant skin with the Bioglo Exfoliating & Skin Refining Enzyme Mask. Its gentle ingredients work synergistically to gently loosen and dissolve dull surface cells and impurities, increasing circulation and improving tone and texture for a healthier, brighter complexion. Suitable for all skin types & ages. Great for men too.

Here's what I think: 
Bioglo Enzyme Mask comes in a pink 100g tube. Made in Taiwan. The texture is creamy, white - not too thick. Easily spread on face with finger. Doesn't dry on skin even if left on too long. The scent is rather pleasant. Lightly scented with sweet Jasmine (and I love Jasmine). Its so light that 2-3 mins after application the scent is not noticeable. Washes off easily, there is no need to scrub hard.  

After that.. Foxy finds that her skin: - Is brighter - Is plumped with hydration (not bread faced, just so the pores are not that obvious) - Is not red with patches / no tingling as well *love* Introductory price was $29.90

Yoga Poses for Better Complexion  

Posted by: Foxy Frangipani in

I find this old saying pretty amazing:

~ “Until a person hits 40, she has the face she got from her parents; after 40, she has the face of the life she had lived” *scrambles off for my daily green juice* :D

Here are some yoga poses towards healthy, glowing skin!

I must confess that this is my ultimate favourite pose! Hehe 20 mins? I can do 10 hours. Kidding.. ok, tried and tested for 20 mins, it is indeed rejuvenating.

Errm.. I wonder, if I do this pose with my face mask on (the detox type) will it rid more impurities?

Etude House Dr Mascara Fixer  

Posted by: Foxy Frangipani

During the recent sale period, I visited Etude House 3 times (hehe). I only paid attention to this Mascara Fixer on my last visit to haul. Boy I love this product.
The liquid is quite thick, and in whitish gel-creme consistency.
When applied to the lashes, it lengthens instantly and separates the lashes beautifully!
Me likes! :D
Then apply my favourite mascara and batt those lashes baby!
I don't even need a curler.
At $27.90, I think I got it for $19.55 after discount.
I pray it lasts me till the next Etude sale!
