Everything is about going green and organic now. Some women might be worrying about the effect of having color residue or chemical trace on our skin after prolong used of makeup, so if you are looking for all natural and organic cosmetics, check out the Mineral Makeup Collection by Laura Mercier. These products are completely natural and it promotes anti aging too. If you have sensitive skin or have just done some laser treatment, you can try these products as they are not harmful with their organic ingredients.
I might want to check them out if I have time for shopping in Bangkok. Some of the products that I’m interested in are:
Mineral Primer
A formula to perfect and prime the face before applying powder foundation formulas. Similar in benefit to Foundation Primer, Mineral Primer creates the perfect, mistake-proof surface on which to apply powder formulas to every face.
Mineral Powder SPF 15
Make your skin glow from the inside out. The exclusive combination of Pure Pearl Powder, minerals and amino acids promote healthy skin and help fight the aging process. Mineral Powder SPF 15 gives you the flexibility to build coverage or add just a touch of luminosity.
Mineral Cheek Powder

I was browsing some celebrities gossip blogs just now and I found that some celebrities really cannot live without makeup. Take Britney Spears as an example, do you think she’s pretty without makeup? I think she was many years ago, but now, she’s like any normal auntie walking down the street. But the worst are those celebrities that look like they are on drugs of something, and they look awfully dreadful. I don’t want to post their photos here, no point spoiling my view. 
Let’s just say that it’s too common for them to go in and out of drug rehabs, but still, many of us are curious to know more about celebrities gossips.
But one thing for sure, without makeup, most of them are simply plain. They are no difference like us anyway. Of course, there are a few who are pretty without makeup like Liv Tyler, I really like her eyes. So I guess makeup is one of the best creations for women huh?
When it comes to whitening products, personally, I prefer major Japanese brands. That’s why I bought lots of products from Shiseido years ago, but then later SKII and some products from Kose. I’m trying Re-Nutriv Intensive Lifting Creme by Estee Lauder now because I wanted something that comes with whitening and anti-aging. But if you are looking for whitening products, maybe you can check out the products from The White-Science range of Cosme Decorte by Kose. The White-Science products concentrate on improving skin color by its unique whitening system that reduces skin redness and strengthens the skin DNA. I guess like most whitening products, the concept is about the same, but the differences lie on the ingredients used.
But if I would to buy anything from the range, I might want to try the deep whitening mask by Cosme Decorte. I always go for mask if I still have lots of unfinished skincare products. I use mask frequently, so it’s pretty easy to finish a box of 6.
Frankly, I think the amount of money I spent on buying mask a year is equivalent to buying one of those Chevy grilles. LOL! But I found another way of keeping my skin moisturized without using mask too. Just soak the facial cottons in softener or moisturizing lotion. Then peel them into thinner slides and spread them out evenly on your face, just like mask sheets. You will see the difference after 10 minutes.
When I was in university, some of my house mates and I were competing in losing weight. I know it sounds crazy but at that time, it was fun to us. One of my friends didn’t eat anything but 2 or 3 slides of plain white bread for each meal, 3 times a day. The other girl was drinking Chinese tea and cut down on her food intake. I tried diet tea and cut off rice for a month. All of us lost weight, but one of my friends lost her menstrual for a while and other one had severe tummy cramp. I didn’t feel sick, but I was kind of pale. So, there you got it, our drastic ways of losing weight.
Then, I found another drastic ways online and here it is:
Breakfast: One boiled egg and a cucumber
Lunch: One boiled egg and a cucumber
Dinner: A cucumber or some cucumber salad without dressing.
There you go. Someone claimed that she lost 10kg in 7 days and who won’t lose weight eating cucumbers like that? But I won’t try it at all. No more drastic diet plans for me, and I lost weight without doing much except being sick for 2 weeks and busy packing up the moving boxes. There you go, it’s another way of losing weight. LOL!
