All about Beauty

I think I have to make a trip to Siam Paragon again to check out NARS Firming Foundation. Women my age really need a better foundation, which is not only correcting my uneven skin tone and for concealing, I need one which lifts up my face as well. Don’t be surprised with the effect of gravity after spending more than 30 years on planet earth!

NARS Firming Foundation

 

Even if I’ve heard some much about NARS, I haven’t own any makeup from this famous brand. Nonetheless, I must say that François Nars is indeed a genius! He really understands what a woman wants to have in her makeup bag.

Besides that, I like the names given to some of their products, such as Orgasm? LOL!

Here’s the best selling three-in-one cream color base for eyes, lips, and cheeks by Nars’. Guess what’s its name? Yeap, it’s The Multiple in Orgasm!

I guess I will spend some time trying out some of the products, besides NARS Firming Foundation.

But then, I will be very selective if I’m going to purchase any cosmetic from NARS because they are quite costly. I wonder if they have cosmetics for those who are going through acne treatment too?

 I used to have more time to pamper myself before I moved to Bangkok. Sometimes, I would have simple home spa like once a week to exfoliate my body and put a body mask on. I had body salt scrub, but some times, I liked to do my own scrub with barley and green beans. Just grind these 2 ingredients together and add some honey or plain yogurt and you will have a nice and cheap body scrub at home!

I hope that I can do this again here because I had only gone for body scrub at the spa once since I’ve moved here. I’m just too busy like a mesothelioma lawyer. LOL! But one cannot be lazy to be a beauty, so I need to find some time for myself again.

Besides that, it’s quite costly to do it often at spa salons, and I want to save up some bucks! So, if you are interested in DIY home spa, try out this homemade body scrub. I bet you will see a difference, and also save some money away from spending on expensive body scrubs.

 My kids are going for summer camp next week and I will have more free time to myself. I can’t wait to check out the latest sale and go on a shopping spree! It’s been a month since my last shopping, and I know, it’s a bit pathetic for a shopaholic. LOL!

Due to the economy crisis, I will try my best not to buy anything expensive. Let’s see if there are any good bargains in town. I need new shoes and handbags!

 I’m back from my short trips, but I know I’ve gained weight! I must find the diet pill that works now. LOL!

Besides that, I’m really tanned as I’ve been in the sun a lot. I had sunblock on but I didn’t reapply after long hours, so I’m getting darker!

Ah…my whitening effect is going down the drain again. LOL!

I’m not sure what’s Siao Man’s name in English, but all I know is she’s good at hair. She’s a famous hairdresser in Taiwan, and she charges a lot for a hair cut!

The book comes with a free hair resistant band, mmm….or is there another name for it? I’ve been looking for one for some time, and I’m so glad that it came free with the book!

I’m in a state when I’m so bored with my shoulder length hair as I’m reluctant to color it. I want to keep it long but it takes so long to grow an inch! Let’s see how I can learn from this book to make my hair look better and healthier.

I shall bring it along when I’m going for a trip later. No, I’m not going for Argentina travel, but just out from the chaotic Bangkok city.

 I know that I’ve been talking about going back to yoga classes for some time, but I still haven’t done so! Firstly, I have to take care of my kids who are having their summer holiday, and without a daily housekeeper to help me with the chores, I’m always busy at home. Thus, I really can’t squeeze out some time to go to the fitness center and join their yoga class. I can’t seem to find those yoga centers here, maybe it’s due to the fact that I can’t read Thai.

But maybe I can just start by doing some simple moves at home. I can’t remember much about yoga pose now, but at least I can dance to the music. LOL! I should ask my gal to put on her dancing shoes and join in the fun as well. It would be nice to do some tap dancing, if I can find my tap shoes! I learned some basic at my ballet class a long time ago, but I wonder if I’m too old for it now?

Besides that, I guess doing house work is a great exercise too. I sweat a lot if it’s a tedious job like scrubbing the bathroom tiles for some time. Too bad the detergent is not good for my skin. So, I better wear my gloves as much as I can!

 I haven’t tried any spot corrector before, and I’m thinking if I need one. I have freckles and spots after pregnancy, and even if I try my best to use whitening and brightening products, but they are still there. They will be more visible if I sleep late or after going to the beach.

I have Lancome, Shiseido, and Estee Lauder membership cards, so I might pick a spot corrector from these brands. I know that I have Estee Lauder member card but I have to look for it!

A spot corrector is quite costly, so I might as well collect some points from my purchase, if I decide to get one. So, which spot corrector are you using?

 I hardly go to office since my surgery, thus SIL and I seldom meet lately. But this morning, we met at office and she complimented that I look fairer now. It’s so nice to hear because it means I’ve been taking care of my face so well. Maybe it’s due to the new product range which I’ve started recently, and also my effort to stay out of the sun as much as possible. I found that I tend to go in the sun when I am out and about, let it be just a simple trip for grocery shopping. I don’t apply body sunblock diligently anymore and blame it on my laziness. Thus, staying away from the sun is the best so far!

Besides that, I haven’t been to the beach for some time, thus I’m not as tan as before. If we are going traveling again in the near future, I would like to stay away from the sun as well. If hubby is generous enough to bring me to a nice trip to New York, I would suggest that we use Car Service NYC instead of walking around on the streets of NY too. It should be summer soon and it’s getting very sunny!
