Beauty Is In The Eye’s Of The Beholder

I got a comment from Emma about her view about armpit hair. She has a totally different view regarding the post I wrote and she corrected my typo too. Thanks. I have a lot of typo error in all my blogs because I type in full speed and sometimes I don’t check. :P I have another 50 more paid posts to go, so if I let you be the spelling and grammar police ok? LOL!

Let’s just say that whatever I wrote about beauty here is based on my personal view. You can choose to be “natural” or “fugly” if you like. It’s just not me. If I see something is wrong with my skin, I will do whatever is necessary, when I have the time! Don’t hate me because I have the money to spend on beauty products even before I started monetizing my blogs. Go get a good husband or boyfriend or sugar daddy, or just work harder to make the money for you face. :P

Anyway, like I said, beauty is in the eye’s of the beholder. Nah, check for me if there is any mistake here or not. LOL!

ORIKI Whitening Serum

Most Asians prefer to have fairer skin and there is a great demand for whitening and brighting products. I used to love having fairer skin too and I have tried a few types of whitening products which are specially formulated to best suit Asian’s skin. But to have significant results, I had to use the whitening serum, which penetrates better and costs slightly more expensive.However, some skin pigmentation problem cannot be corrected with just ordinary skincare products. Some women will have pigmentation on their face after pregnancy, while some will have it due to sun exposure. The fairer the skin, the easier we will suffer from skin pigmentation.

Thus, if you are looking for skincare products that incorporates the pigmentation factor into the formulation, ORIKI Cosmeceuticals might have the products for you. ORIKI Cosmeceuticals have developed products that are suitable for Asian, Mediterranean and other Olive (AMO) skin types.

If you are looking for whitening serum that will help in preventing pigmentation, you can take a look at the this product which is offered by ORIKI. It is rich in vitamin C and antioxidants which are effective in brightening the skin tone while preventing dark spots.

Many years ago, I will be very interested to get one. Now, I prefer anti aging products.

How Do You Look In The Morning?

The first thing I do in the morning is turn on my laptop while getting the kids ready. Once they are done and gone downstairs, it’s my turn to brush my teeth, wash my face and bla bla bla, you know all those morning routine? But when I look into the mirror lately, I don’t see a bright face that greets me. My skin’s ok, just that my expression is showing a lot of physical tiredness, gee….Too much late night already.

So, the only way to prep my skin for the day is to put on a hydration mask for 10 minutes if possible. I can’t do this everyday though, where got time? I have been very busy lately. I need my spa and massage soon once I get all the jobs done. Beh ta han. Oh ya, a facial session too if possible, but the best of all is just sleep and sleep and sleep. Then, I will look fresher.

Drink To Healthy Skin

I bought some vegetable drink to clear my body because it will help to promote great skin and prevent us from constipation. I don’t have constipation, and it’s the greater skin that I’m hoping to see. I will start the drink this week and let’s see if there is any significant difference.

You can also consider to try Dual Action Cleanse which is a herbal colon cleanser that is designed to get rid of toxic waste from your colon. Believe me, your tummy will look flatter and your skin will be better if you don’t have a lot of toxic in your body! If not, why am I wasting so much time and money on detoxification on my spa treatment?

But if you would like to try the drink, please talk to your doctor first. Even if it’s herbal and safe, just make sure that you don’t have any health complication first before trying.

I Got Kose Astalution

Yes! I got Kose Astalution, and it’s not as expensive as I thought. Frankly, it’s quite cheap for a serum but I haven’t tried it out yet. I got the set that comes with Kose’s Rice Power Extract Moisture Skin Repair and both of them only cost RM250.

It’s been more than a week since the day I bought it and it’s still somewhere in my drawer. LOL! I wanted to finish off my Wrinklelift Retino Science Lotion AA by Shiseido first before trying out astalution. See? I si peh gatal, keep buying even if I haven’t finished using the products! And now I’m eying on La Mer. Can die leh?

Stupid Fine Lines! Give Me La Mer The Eye Concentrate!!!

I hate looking at my eyes now because I found some line fines on my eye bags, argh!!!!! I know that it’s all due to my lifestyle as a night owl. Unless I get 8 hours of sleep everyday, if not I can forget about having a pair of pretty eyes. But since I cannot do much about getting more sleep, I would rather invest in eye cream. I’m tempted to try La Mer The Eye Concentrate now and I found it from this website.

The eye concentrate works in tandem with a specially-engineered, silver-tipped applicator which helps cool the skin, immediately improving micro-circulation. Tich in Hematite, a natural magnetic mineral known for its energies. The eye Concentrate works over time to dramatically dissolve the appearance of dark circles and puffiness. The eye area appears healthy and more vital.
Improving clarity and discoloration, an exclusive marine ferment penetrates the skin with a powerful wave of activity. The appearance of discoloration and unevenness is dramatically diminished. Skin that looks tarnished and full regains a healthy radiance and brightness as it is brought back to its most luminous center.

Do you know what’s stopping me from putting that item in the shopping cart? It’s the price. It’s selling at USD $265.95!!!! Cam you imagine how many paid posts are needed to come to that amount? But I’m very tempted to get it!!! So, I better ask hubby to forget about getting that real estate franchise give me some money to get that miracle cream. I need a miracle now.

It’s a lazy afternoon for me again. I’m enjoying my spa today and I’ve added a body scrub and body wrap session into it because I’m too lazy to do it myself this week. So let me enjoy myself now, ok?

Nice Wedding Card

As I was mumbling that I didn’t get any wedding invitations lately, I found one placed on hubby’s desk. One of his friends is getting married next month and I’m so excited about it. However, what really caught my eyes is the wedding invitation that is so well designed and it is perfumed too! I love the smell of lavender on the card! I think I will keep this invitation nicely even when the wedding is over. It can be used as a bookmark for my books.

I have the habit of keeping nice wedding invitations or letterpress invitations away because these custom invitations are too nice to be thrown away. If you would like your invitations to be cherished dearly, get them customized by Dauphine Press. It provides services like custom stationery, wedding invitations and letterpress invitations too. It’s hard to find a high quality of craftsmanship these days. I used to be involved with some printing companies for brochure printing, and not all the companies are willing to customize the design according to your preference, unless you are printing in a large quantity.

If you want a better quality of printing material, get those companies which are operated by real graphic designers. So, where to get one? Just hop over to Dauphine Press’ official website for more information.

Shopping List

Here are the things that I have to get ASAP:

  • Blusher, but I haven’t made up my mind which brand to get
  • SKII foundation
  • Lip balm, a very good one
  • Maybelline Color Control
  • Eye mask and face mask again. I don’t think Kose Astalution is available huh? Then I will get SKII first
  • A neck cream for my neck. Clarins or Shiseido? Mmm…let me find out later.

So, it’s going to be a busy shopping week for me!

Cheap Accessories

I seldom wear accessories after having kids as I was afraid of hurting them accidentally. Furthermore, they like to pull my earrings and necklace away, so I took off all of them now. My gal even broke one of my white gold necklace too!

Maybe I should not get those expensive accessories and risk getting them damaged by my kids. I should just look for wholesale jewelry supplier get some something nice from them. Besides wearing, maybe I can make some money selling them off too!
