Which Skincare to Buy?

My Estee Lauder Re-Nutriv Intensive Lifting Cream is almost finishing, and so does my La Mer The Eye Concentrate. So, I’m thinking if I should just continue with Re-Nutriv and which eye cream should I be trying next? I really like the Re-Nutriv Intensive Lifting Cream, even if it might be too rich to some women. The smell is so nice, you will always look forward to using it again.

As for La Mer The Eye Concentrate, I’m “immune” to its effect now, so I need to source for another eye cream. I guess I will have to make a trip to the shopping malls in Bangkok or try to find one frantically at Bangkok Airport while rushing for my flight later on huh?

Besides that, I need to get a good hand cream too. I’ve been washing the faucets, preparing meals, and doing the laundry here in Bangkok. My hands are not as healthy looking as before, thus I desperately need a good hand cream now!  My Multivitamin Hand and Nail Treatment by Dermalogica is finishing too, so I have to get a good hand cream fast! This hand cream from Dermalogica is too expensive, considering that I apply one many times a day. I think I can easily finish a tube in a week! So, any recommendation? Which hand cream is good?

Pretty Armpits for Summer

Most of us wear sleeveless tops or spaghetti straps in sunny hot weather, so maybe some women prefer to take extra care of their armpits. Take a look at this:

 Shizuka New York, the Japanese salon that brought bird-poop facials to midtown, has now introduced the “underarm overhaul,” just in time for summer. The treatment begins with a thorough steaming and cleansing to remove dirt and debris (apparently you can get clogged pores in your armpit), followed by hair removal with wax or the more high-tech intense pulsed light (which costs $100 extra). Finally, a plastic surgeon injects the sweat glands with Botox. The price of pristine pits? A mere $1,500.

Gosh, that price is too much to me. Let’s just stick to shaving, plucking, deodorant and not lifting up our arms. LOL!

Shopping!

Finally, I had time for shopping last night. We managed to spend some time at Future Park, Rangsit after a quick dinner. Hubby brought the kids to get some CD so I could do some shopping with SIL. I bought shoes and clothes, but not as much as I used to do back home. The shops close as early as 9pm, so it’s kind of hard to shop at night.

Nonetheless, I’m glad that I did some shopping finally, and it’s not food! LOL! I think I should make a shopping trip again soon. I saw some promotional products by Laneige which I might want to get. Mmm…let’s hope that I won’t be as busy as I am!

Anti Aging from Stem Cell

Like most women, I like to find out more about the latest cream or technology which has proven to slow down the anti aging process besides making us looking younger than our actual age. Don’t you just want to look young and lively for as long as it takes? Even if we might not be able to afford those expensive approaches, but there is not harm being alert about this.

From All About C’elle, I found out that they are developing an anti aging approach by using stem cells from menstrual fluid. I know it is yucky but they are stem cells, so it is totally different from your fluid. LOL!

I think a lot of women will love to know more about this, and there is a business opportunity in cell stem harvested from menstrual fluid. It might be new, but just think about it. If you are interested to Become C’elle Distributor, find out more about this from the links. I won’t think I want to Become C’elle Distributor, I can’t face blood. :P

Keeping Stem Cell

I didn’t care much about health issue until I became a mother. Before that, it’s more about myself and I was only interested in beauty products and where to get the nicest body massage and a relaxing spa.

But when I found out when I was pregnant, I knew about stem cell collection too. At that time, I didn’t think that it was necessary and besides that, it was really costly. 2 years later, I decided to keep my baby’s stem cell after lots of consideration. You can easily find out more about the advantages of keeping your baby’s stem cell and even if there are different opinions about this, but why miss a chance of keeping the stem cell of your baby when it can be done easily and painlessly?

Thus, if you are interested to keep your baby’s stem cell, don’t miss the “Protect Baby, Protect Mom” Special Limited-Time Introductory Offer by Cryo-Cell’s “Protect Baby, Protect Mom”. Check out Cryo-Cell Innovative Stem Cell Solutions to know more about the offers and the benefits of keeping the cells. After all, you baby will only have one chance of doing so from the umbilical cord blood.

Skin Charges During Menstruation

 I have a few set of skincare products and I don’t always stick to the same range all the time. I will use some products as according to my skin condition since it charges from time to time. When I have my menstrual cycle, I notice that my complexion is the worst during those days which some outbreaks or tiny spots. Thus, my regular products might not be suitable for my skin for a week or 2.

I used to hate the cycle, but my perception changed once I know All About C’elle. Stem cell can be extracted from the menstrual blood and be used for certain medical treatments. There is a controversy about these clinical regenerative medical therapies, but some people have been benefited from the treatments. There is a special introductory price, so if you are interested, you can just get your Celle Order Now. By the way, you can also Become C’elle Distributor and earn some commission from this program, which is only available in the states for the time being.

So, I guess I better get used to my cycle and stop cursing its effect on my skin huh? After all, the unsanitary waste has a purpose now.

Dr. Brandt Skincare

I came across this brand when I was shopping at Bangkok International Airport. I didn’t try out the products since I only planned to get La Mer at that time. All I know about Dr. Brandt is Madonna is using his products and Dr. Fred Brandt is a famous cosmetic dermatologist.

If you are looking for one of the best anti wrinkle cream, maybe you would like to check out the skincare range by Dr. Brandt which is popular in fighting wrinkles and promoting firmness with its unique botanical ingredients such as green tea, vitamin C and vitamin A. I’ve just read from a magazine that even if he doesn’t come out with whitening series, but his products are great fading freckles and even out the skin tone. So, I don’t have to worry about those brown spots if I’m sunbathing lying on my outdoor furniture huh? LOL!

So, have you tried Dr. Brandt? I don’t think I will get them now. I still have a batch of new skincare products in my luggage. :P

Nude Makeup Tips by Kevin

I’ve bought the nude makeup book by Kevin but I might get a copy of it later. I have always prefered to look natural like I’m not putting on any makeup, but it’s not that easy to be done considering that I have severe dark circles and eye bags. I think the only way to get rid of them is plastic surgery!

But still, I’m curious about the tips given by Kevin. If you are interested to know some part of the contents, check out this site. It’s written in Chinese so hopefully you can read it.

My Vain Little Girl

My girl is 2 years old but she’s as vain as the mother. She has her own bottle of lotion and she will put it on her hands and legs when I’m putting on my night cream. Lately, she’s getting interested with the Princess series from Disney and anything related to the pretty princesses will attract her.

I can easily get those personalized children’s book and songs from the princess series, but I think I won’t do this now. She has more than enough CDs to keep her busy! LOL! But if you are looking for some special gifts for your little one, check them out ya?

But I truly believe that beauty routine should start early. I’m not expecting her to put on skincare or makeup, but at least she should be taught about eating healthily and having lots of water a day is good for her skin. It’s really not that hard to convince her to do so as I told her the princesses have great skin because they eat well. LOL! A simple white lie won’t hurt ok?

It’s Out!

I love buying magazines, and the Queen magazine is out of my favorite. The summer edition is out and I wonder if I can grab a copy of it before I fly to Bangkok? There’s one book store in Ipoh which manages to get most of the latest magazines as soon as they are launched.

If you like reading or collecting fashion and makeup books and magazines, don’t miss this one. Besides that, I’m still watching the show, so if you are always wondering about the brands of skincare and cosmetic being introduced on the show, just grab the magazine for more information.
