All about Beauty

When I was shopping at one of the shopping malls in Bangkok last night, I came across a road show of SK II products. I was wondering if I should get the facial treatment essence since it’s so popular. I only tried out the sample once, and I couldn’t see anything. I wonder if I haven’t tried long enough like 28 days? It’s called miracle water, so maybe there’s a different 28 days later? Or it’s just another commercial? LOL!

Of course, I didn’t get it last night. I can always get it cheaper at the duty free later if I’m interested. Besides that, maybe my progesterone level is not stable now and I don’t feel like shopping in a congested city like Bangkok today. Gee….this city is really packed with shoppers!

My friend is selling some products from Coverderm. After persuading me for weeks, I finally made up my mind to try some out. I bought the waterproof concealer for my dark circles and the makeup removal.

Coverderm Waterproof Concealer

Coverderm Makeup Removal

I tried both for days, and I have to say that the concealer is great at covering up my dark circles, but the fine lines are so visible after a while. Maybe it’s too thick, or I misuse it? Gee…looking for a good concealer is not easy. I tried lots of brands but my favorite one, believe it or not, it’s Loreal’s True Color. It’s cheap and thin. It’s not thick at all!!! So, I hardly see any fine lines after applying for a while.

As for the makeup removal, oh well, it’s just like the rest. Frankly, I can’t find much difference between one and another removal. LOL!

So, what am I going to do Coverderm? Dump it away in Wilmington real estate? LOL!

What I really like about my medicurist is she’s not only friendly, she’s very creative as well. I admire her creativity in designing a lot of pretty nail patterns, but too bad I don’t have time and money to try out all of them! Just take a look at some of her work:

Did you see one with Burberry pattern?

I like those in blue!

If you like crystals, these are the few designs available

The lighter colors look great for a bride

So, are you curious about where her nail spa is? It’s somewhere in a commercial real estate in Bercham Ipoh. LOL! Cannot put up her address lah….

I’m a coffee drinker but too much of coffee is not good for my teeth. As you know, caffeine can stain my teeth and I can forget about having celebrity sexy teeth if I’m not going anything about it. I went to my dentist 2 weeks ago for regular checkup and scaling. I didn’t have time for teeth whitening because my kids were screaming hysterically seeing the whole process and they really freaked out.

Besides that, you don’t have to go for teeth whitening at the dental clinic anymore. There are lots of teeth whitener related products in the market, and celebrity sexy teeth whitener is one of them.

Some of us are skeptical about trying out a DIY teeth whitener because some of the products will cause tooth sensitivity and it’s not comfortable for us. Besides that, if the concentration of active whitening ingredient is insignificant, the whitening result is disappointing. Nonetheless, Celebrity Sexy Teethâ„¢ claimed that the key ingredients will make wonder by drawing hydrogen peroxide into both the outer and inner layer of teeth enamel, thus the whitening effect is visible and remains longer.

Frankly, I’m curious about how great this teeth whitener is because it guarantees to whiten your teeth in 8 shades lighter within 14 days. If the result is that good, I might want to try it out. There’s a hot deal going on and maybe some of my friends are interested too. We can share out the shipping cost!

But wait a minute, what about my next appointment with my dentist? Should I just cancel it?

When I was reading about The Ultimate Mommy Makeover, I had this thought across my mind about how many mothers still remember to look good after marriage and kids. I’m hanging out with mothers who are self-conscious about their looks and they shop as much as I do to update out wardrobe, as well as engaging in medicure, pedicure, facial and spa.

But there are other mothers who can’t enjoy these as much as we do. If they managed to get back to pre-pregnancy state in a bliss, and still look gorgeous after having babies, they are considered lucky. But what if some of them can’t do it and think that they are fat and unattractive? Won’t that put a strain on their self-esteems? That’s why I never go against plastic surgery, as long as it’s being carried out by professional surgeons and the main purpose of doing it is for enhancing our looks. Nonetheless, I don’t agree on some women who purposely enlarge their breasts like some porn stars when they don’t even need it!

If a mother feels good about herself after a tummy tuck or a breast lift, why not? Some of us have to work harder to get back in shape after childbearing, and it’s not as easy as it seems. Unless you are born with great genes, then you can give plastic surgery a pass.

My kids like the buses. If it’s a double decker bus, they will be even more excited to take a ride on it. That’s part of the reason why I love traveling with my kids since more tours move around in the cities with buses. I would love to bring them to as many places in the world as possible, when we have the money for traveling around.

A simple NYC Sightseeing tour on a double decker bus is enough to make my boy talking over it for months. He still talked about his first trip on a double decker bus, even if it’s been 3 months ago since our last family vacation. Even though we won’t be going to New York soon, that doesn’t mean I can’t bookmark the site for future reference. By all means, we will have to look for day tour providers if we would like to see most parts of New York. Of course, the price will be different by then, but as long as it’s updated, it won’t be hard for me to work out the budget.

But most importantly, is there a shopping tour for me? I would love to go shopping in New York, even if I might not be able to buy a lot!

I only found out that it’s President’s Day in the states today and most of the shopping sites are having promotions and sales. If you are interested to get any products from Kohl’s, don’t forget to use the Kohls coupon codes available to save up more on your purchase.

Can think of anything to buy? How about the fun fragrance from Flirt?

My friend is getting married soon but after some long nights and a few bottles off the wine racks, she has some water retention problem on her face and she looks bloated too. Seriously, if she can afford it, I would recommend her to go for a nice face sculpturing course like the one offered by Socie.

I’m interested to try it out and see if it’s effective in lifting up my eye area in 90 minutes. But the thing is, you can only try it out in Taiwan or Japan. Gee…How disappointing huh?

I guess I’m addicted to Clarins’ Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch. This is my 3rd bottle of the same product and I bought the gift set days ago. By paying RM10 extra, I’m ended up with a mascara, a lip gloss and a full size Clarins Instant Light Complexion Perfector, who won’t be getting this set?

Besides that, I bought something for hubby as well.

He’s very lazy to take a good care of his face, so instead of getting him a facial foam, I got him the cleansing mousse. Just shake and press out the mousse, how hard can that be? Of course, he needs a bottle of moisturizing gel to keep his skin hydrated for hours, but I haven’t seen him using the products.

Maybe I should just get him a Technomarine watch instead of more skincare products. *Sigh*

I’m not sure if I’m alone in this issue. I noticed that my body is not as firm as before, even if I try my best to keep myself fit. I really need some extra effort and the help of body care products now, just like the time I have just had my babies. Some of the products I tried are great at maintaining and enhancing the effort of slimming down, but you just need to be persistent in using them and massage your body consistently.

Even if I can hide the bulges with the right selection of clothes, but you will still have to look at yourself naked when no one is around right? Of course, you don’t need an exterior lighting to shine on yourself to see those early signs of flabbiness or cellulite!

I’ve just bought Clarins’ Extra-Firming Body Care for the day and Clarins’ Total Body Lift to be used at night. I have only tried out for 2 days and it’s too early to see any results. But I like the texture as they are not oily or stain on my clothes, most important!

So, let’s see if they work well for me.
