All about Beauty

I love collecting free samples or after purchase goodies from skincare counters. Besides the curiosity of trying out various products, I can pack these mini sized bottles along while traveling. During my “glory” days, I had 2 drawers full of free samples and goodies but I threw some away after some time, or gave them out. Most free samples have a shelf life too, so don’t you forget that!

I’m not too particular about using the same products when I’m on holiday. Most of the time, I will be in the sun, so my skin sucks even if I have sunblock on. LOL! It’s due to the fact that I am lazier to spend time on skincare, and would rather do something else during vacation. But once I get back, I will take good care of my skin, even if it cost me an AED to get a small tube of face cream!

 I’ve just weighted my luggage, and it’s overweight! It’s not like I packed a lot of stuffs or medical equipment but it’s still overweight! Gee…15kg is a mission impossible to me! Thus, I log on to AirAsia and change to bigger luggage. That will save me a lot of time during checking in later.

 Maybe I don’t really sort of my stuffs and just dump everything in. Check out my mini skincare and cosmetic pouches. *faint* I just feel like bring everything along. LOL!

 After 3 days of outing in the sun, I got tanned and my spots were very obvious. For someone who was always in the sun at high school and knew nothing about skincare, it was a bit too late for me to prevent brown spots. So, I always put sunscreen on my kids whenever possible to prevent them from having brown spots when they are older.

Then again, I got myself a tube of Lancome Blanc Expert GN-White New Whiteness Spot Eraser and I’ve been using it for more than 2 weeks.

 I don’t see any whitening on my skin yet, but the spots are slightly lighter and my skin tone is more even now, especially after all those sunbaths! I am using it day and night, after my toner, and before my normal moisturizer by Estee Lauder. So far so good, and I don’t have any skin problem by combining the different brands together. But for better result, after you apply a layer of the serum, try to squeeze a few more drops and apply on those spotty area, especially on the cheekbones where most of us have our spots. Then, wet the cotton pad (or the one you use for toner) with whitening toner and place in on the cheeks, covering the serum for a few minutes. I learnt this trick from nue ren wo zhui ta program and it works for me.

I guess I will stick to this serum for another month or more, especially since I have another island escape trip coming up in November. After that, I will switch back to anti-aging serum. Gee…it sounds like I do spend a bomb on skincare, other than clothes and shoes. LOL! Just like most men spend on car accessories such as spoiler, gadgets and etc.
