Actually, I started caring for my skin rather late. My mom didn’t like the idea of me using any skincare products even if I was actively involving in camping, marching (I was a teen cadet), and all sorts of outdoor activities. I was exposed to the sun almost everyday without a tint of sunblock! No wonder I have brown spots now!
So, take my parenting advice, young girls. Start caring for your skin as early as possible. Even if you feel the obligation to start using anti-aging products at the age of 21, do so. As long as you can afford the products, why now? No point starting late and by the time you notice the fine lines, you might be paying more on expensive products and hoping for miracles.
I’m so regret that I didn’t use eye creams early enough!
I seldom wear makeup but I use makeup removal to remove my sunblock base. I always practice double cleansing in the evening, unless I’m too tired to do so when I’m traveling. I’m using the makeup removals from Loreal and Coverderm, but my friend recommended that I try makeup removal wipes because they are effective in removing eye makeup such as waterproof mascara. It’s quite troublesome to bring along so many bottles of skincare products and if the wipes are great at replacing my eye makeup and face removals, I might want to try them out. So far, she told me that she’s using the wipes from Simple, and it’s effective enough to remove her makeup.
I wonder if the makeup removal wipes from Kao Biore is available at Guardian or Watson now? I forgot to get the wipes before my trip to Bangkok and I was busy with packing and getting a travel health insurance.
I might get the wipes for my next trip to Bangkok. I don’t want to stuff so many bottles in my luggage again.
This month’s With listed some of the most popular and effective (so they claimed) slimming method of 2007 - 2008, and if you can’t see any significant results with your weight loss pills, you might want to grab a copy of the magazine.
I found that it’s interesting if you can just slim down with some simple exercises using a stick. I haven’t tried out the exercise, but let’s see if I can find a stick in my kitchen. LOL! Anyway, no harm trying it out. If I can find the books from Popular, I might get the copies too.
We went to the beach today and I didn’t put on any sunblock. I brought along my Shiseido sunblock as well as Loreal spray on but I only put it on my kids. As the results, I’m totally “roasted” now. LOL!
My kids love the sun like me too, but it’s important to put on sunblock on them to prevent sun burn. I didn’t put on sunblock until I was in my 20s and by that time, I had brown spots and freckles already. It’s a bit too late to make them disappeared but some whitening spot correctors may help.
If you are wondering why I didn’t put on the sunblock today, oh well, I was too busy and lazy. But when I go on cruises next time, I will put the sunblock from head to toe. 
I found that the Palette Pop Collector Powder from Yves Saint Laurent’s Love and Flowers collection is simply irresistible. It reminds me of Dior’s Flower Blossom but of course, similarities happen everywhere.
Frankly, I will just get this set because I like the design and keep it collectibles. I hardly wear blush anyway. Nonetheless, a good blush will bring out the glow of your complexion and enhance your features if you know how to use it well. Even if you are a serious lawyer working on a case about mesothelioma, that doesn’t stop you from being pretty, ok?
Besides that, it would be nice to have this blush kept in our makeup bags huh?
My medicurist asked me to try the black nail polish by OPI but I dare not try it. I always keep my nails short, and she said they will look best in black. I know that black is nice if you know how to carry the look, but I don’t know any stay-at-home mothers that use that color for their fingernails. LOL!
But for young girls, they can easily carry the nails in black just like the celebrities. Ayumi from Japan likes to paint her nails in black too, if you observe her pretty nails. But if you are working in a corporate world, I don’t think black works for your nails. Unless you are making a living selling online auto insurance at home without meeting your clients, then you can paint you nails in any color you wish.
I was browsing through a magazine just now and the model with the some hair decoration which looked like a Bluetooth headset caught my attention. Her eye makeup is lovely and I was curious about the brand name called Majolica Majorca. Little that I know, it’s another makeup brand by Shiseido, one of my favorite skincare and cosmetic brands at all time.
There are 3 different combination of eyeshadow sets which you can get, but one of them is limited edition. I think the blue eyeshadow will be selling like hot cakes because blue has always been the color of spring and summer. I would get that set too if I’m buying one.
Eyeshadow collection
The Majolica Majorca collection also comes with mascara and lip gloss.
Mascara
Lip Gloss
I think most young girls will love to get the lip gloss just for that shimmering stripes. 
I’m going for spa again tomorrow but not at my regular spa center. My friend has set up her spa business, so I signed up a package with her. Hubby is going to join me for the session, but in separate room ok? LOL!
She’s been suggesting that we get the SG2000 home spa unit from Grand Sun since the price is affordable and we can use it at home. Nonetheless, I don’t have a bath tub and even if I do, soaking myself in the tub for 20 minutes sounds like a luxury for me when kids running and screaming around in the room. I just have to do this out of the house!
On the other hand, hubby suggested that I might think about this as a business opportunity in Bangkok since spa is very popular there. Nonetheless, the idea of setting up a new business, renovating the place, looking for leather office chairs and other furniture as well as hiring staffs which I can’t communicate with doesn’t sound like something exciting to me. I have been really lazy for the years and I don’t feel like running the biz all by myself. I don’t mind help hubby with his though as long as I’m not the main player. Frankly, I would rather fill my free time with shopping and spa. LOL!
So, if you can afford it, think about setting up a home spa, it’s more convenient doing it at home huh?
I’m back from Bangkok, and surprisingly, I didn’t shop much for this trip. I bought some cheap clothes for my kids though, and you just can’t believe the price! I didn’t have much time to shop at the airport, so I didn’t get any La Mer even if my heart was going towards that direction. LOL! But nonetheless, I’m not out of stock yet, so maybe I will buy some on the next trip to Bangkok.
But what I really regret is I didn’t buy one of those nice hand made bags from Chatuchak that day. I found one nice one but I was hesitating if I should get it. It’s not expensive though, and I don’t know what got into me that day! I never think twice at shopping.
Maybe that skinny ugly performer who looked like he or she had just come out from drug rehab scared the hell out of me and I lost my mind for a while? LOL! If you are curious about how he or she looked like, check out my travel blog.
I didn’t shop much but just wandering around Chatuchak yesterday. I found some nice stuffs though, and we didn’t spend more than RM100 for the whole afternoon, that’s pretty amazing to me.
If you get any travel deals to Bangkok, don’t miss Chatuchak. It only opens during the weekend though, so you better arrange your travel agenda well.
