All about Beauty

I love to get samples from cosmetic counters. If you are really nice to the promoters, and buy from them from time to time, it’s easier to get samples from them. But some promoters are very lansi, and they don’t simply give out their samples. To me, it’s their loss. I’m a big buyer of skincare products, if I haven’t tried out how good they are, then most probably I will not buy it unless the reviews are good. So, too bad lah, they are the ones who are not making commissions from my purchases!

Anyway, I have taken out my samples and packed a few for Bali. I have no intention to bring all the big bottles because I might discharge the samples on the last day of my trip to make space for anything shopping spree I have. See how much samples I got? And they are only part of my collection.

 But what puzzled me is I can’t find my SKII samples!!! Damn, really can’t remember where I placed them last time.

I have always been spending a lot of beauty products, ever since I started working many years ago. Before that, I don’t care much about my look. But once you started with the beauty regime, you will get hooked! But luckily I didn’t have any commitment and I could spend every penny I earned on my face.

But most ladies will also buy a lot of expensive beauty products, even if they don’t have the money. They can always use their credit cards, so it’s no big deal at all until they failed to repay the debt. Some may have to resolve into getting loans to meet the end, but ended up with more debts! Just imagine, besides credit cards, you will have car loan, housing loan, education loan and others unsecured loans to be paid off. Wow! How much should we be making to get all the things we want?

So, if you really don’ have the money for expensive beauty products, get those from Loreal’s or cheaper brands. I tried some of them and they are great too. It’s just the mentality that cheap things are not as good as expensive ones.

I love the sun, but not the pigmentation problem later. So, in order not to roast my face in Bali, I will bring along my Shiseido White Lucent Intensive Mask for the recovery process. Of course, if my face is still too reddish, I can’t use the mask. I will have to wait until the redness subsided first.

But since I’m on vacation, I have to pamper myself to the most. A good mask is a must! I just have to bring it along. BTW, I wonder if I can put on a mask in the plane? It’s very drying leh…

When I was shopping yesterday, I saw a pretty pregnant mommy who walked gracefully and didn’t look like she was carrying any extra weight at all. But her bump showed that she’s about 8 months pregnant!

I think pregnant mothers are beautiful, especially those who have pregnancy bloom. I got mine too, but I was very fat.

Besides trying to look good, pregnant mothers should know how to take good are of themselves as well as their babies. If you are pregnant, try to get a Maternity Health Insurance if possible, as they may come in handy for the following:

• Doctor Visits
• Hospital Stays
• Lab Work
• Sonograms
• 24 Hour Counseling
• 24 Hour Nurse Hotline
• Anesthesiologist
• Pre Natal Vitamins
• Newborn Tests and checkups
• Immunizations
• Prescription Drugs

I had a complicated pregnancy before, so I know how important the insurance is. Get one if you can afford it. BTW, don’t wear large and ugly maternity dress. Get those tight fitting T-shirts to show off your bumps.
