I'm a mother of 2 wonderful kids, and a wife to a golfaholic husband. Even if I'm very busy with my mothering and wifey responsibilities, but I'm still as vain as I can be.
Bangkok will never have snow in winter, but I hope that some days will be windy and cool. If so, I can dig out my trench coats from the closet and wear them to work. LOL! Of course, I won’t pair them with UGG boots but with high heel pumps. I saw a few nice mini coats while shopping lately, but still haven’t made up my mind if I should get some. They are pretty costly, and I’m weighing out the number of times I will be wearing them.
Let’s see if I can fight the temptation of shopping for them, if I fail, my wardrobe will have a few more items for winter in Bangkok.

I like makeup palette that comes with everything from blush, lip colors and eyeshadows. It’s convenient to bring one around in my handbag, especially for traveling. I think I will check out this makeup paletty by Christian Dior when I fly back to M’sia next month. I’m curious how much will it cost at duty free and hopefully it’s not too expensive.
I can’t seem to find the link to this image which I saved in the flash drive days ago. I saw this CD makeup palette from Style.com, but now I lost the link. I guess it’s affordable, considering that it comes with nice colors on everything.

I’m in loved with Virtuose Black Carat mascara by Lancome. I’ve been using it for a week, and I like the effect on my eyes. I try not to use the battery operator lash curler lately to prevent brittle lashes, so I need a mascara that’s good enough to hold the curves and lengthen my tiny lashes. Virtuose Black Carat mascara is just right for me!
It won’t smear, but I’m not sure if it will if you cry a lot. The hot tears might “melt” some of the mascara, so you better don’t hide your face in the cradle if you don’t wanna mess up the crib bedding. Use your own pillow instead!
The only thing is, I don’t think it’s easy to be remove. Maybe I’m not using the eye makeup removal by Lancome? Or I should soak up my cotton pad with more eye makeup removal and cover my eye area for a little more longer. Let’s see if it can be easily removed tonight.

I’m in serious shopping for beauty products again, and this time I went for Lancome. I needed a whitening moisturizer to replace my almost empty bottle of Estee Lauder Re-Nutriv Revitalizing Comfort Creme. I’m all into whitening products lately, and besides that, I need a new mascara as my Cyber Colors is clogging up! Thus, Lancome came into mind. It’s easier to buy them all at Lancome so that I can get more freebies. LOL!

I guess I’ve spent a lot on skincare products lately but well they will last me for at least 2 months. The amount of money spent is more than writing 200 paid reviews on CAT5e, I guess. 
I still have lots of free samples in the drawer, so let’s see if I can finish all of them this time, or just leave them there until they expired. LOL!

I can see some positive effect on my face now, even if I haven’t gone back to my previous “fairness”. LOL! It’s impossible to be fair again if I always go out in the sun in Bangkok, but these days, the spots are less visible. They are still there, but not as dark as 2 weeks ago.
I’m using the whitening serum diligently, and I change all my skincare products for whitening range for weeks now. I will continue to do so until end of the year when the weather changes because I need better moisturizers for my dry skin. So, I’m going to spend a bomb buying skincare products again in 2 months, but I think hubby won’t mind much because it’s lesser than paying for a trip to las vegas! I’ve been longing to go honeymoon again, but he is too busy for that. So, I will compensate the trip with my shopping spree!

I hate my mornings sometimes. I have to rush for lots of things, and I hardly have time to really put the creams on my face, so let alone the makeup. Now you know why I hardly use makeup! I really don’t have time for it.
This morning, hubby complained that I was late again and I have to speed up my process in less than 30 minutes. I already did everything in 20 minutes! But still, it’s not fast enough. It really pissed me that I have try my best to be quick, but I’m the reason why they are late for school. Gee…
Most of all, hubby didn’t think that I’ve woken up earlier and earlier, and he still put the blame on me. Argh…He can forget about me studying his business performance management software now because I’m not in the mood for working. I want to go shopping to release my tense!

I noticed that I’ve forgotten to buy some facial mask yesterday, so maybe I will follow SIL out again when she’s meeting someone to talk about life insurance rates at Future Park. I really go to Future Park almost everyday!!!
Working near a shopping complex is great for a shopaholic like me, but then, I spend like hell as well going there so frequently. LOL! But I think I won’t get any expensive whitening mask as I like the mask from Neutrogena. It’s good enough for me now, and I still have some SKII left in my drawer.
I guess I won’t be spending a bomb today.

I’m totally roasted after 2 days in the sun. It’s more sun exposure as comparing to my trip to Pattaya because I was walking for hours at Grand Palace and shopping in Chatuchak for the whole afternoon. I had my sunblock on, but I didn’t have time to reapply, so I’m so roasted now!
Thus, I went shopping for a few skincare products, and I’m going to start using them soon.
Kanebo Blanchir Whitening Serum (got make up removal and facial foam as free gifts), Clarins White Plus Cleansing Mousse, Shiseido Bio-Performance Super Eye Contour Cream (too much sun is bad for my eye area too!), Shiseido White Lucent Softener and a pack of free gifts from Shiseido (not shown)
It’s more about whitening and brightening for the time being, and I will put my lifting products aside first. I have to make the brown spots less visible first, and that’s my first priority in skincare now.
But most importantly, I have to minimize sun exposure for a while. Hopefully, hubby won’t suggest that we go sightseeing under the sun again, even if he is willing to carry the Ju Ju Be bag, my 2 kids, and give me more shopping allowance, I don’t think I still want to be in the sun. At least not for a few weeks…

My eye cream is finishing…
My day time moisturizer is finishing too…
My day time softener almost habis…
My SKII whitening serum not more than half a bottle now…
My masks are not enough to fill my drawer…
My skin condition changes again…
Argh!!! It’s time to waste money on my face! Thinking of the four digits I’m going to spend soon makes me lose my appetite, better and faster than any appetite suppressants…

I’ve been using Clarins Total Body Lift for months, and I feel like trying something new. Actually, these body care by L’oreal are not the latest, but I haven’t used them before. Since they are quite cheap, I got all three bottles to try them out.
I actually like BODY EXPERTISE PerfectSlim Pro-Massage Intensive Anti-Cellulite Massage System by L’oreal. Ya, it has very long name. LOL!
If I’m not in a rush in the morning, I will give myself a good massage on my thigh before applying the anti-cellulite gel. Of course, if I’m too busy, I will just use PerfectSlim Day and do a quick hand massage for better absorption. I did try to use both PerfectSlim Night and Pro-Massage at the same time, but the gel sort of like flaking out. I guess it’s best to only use one of the products at a time.
If you are wondering about the slimming effect, oh well, like most products, I can only feel the smoothness and tightening of my skin. However, I don’t think I can just lose inches by using cream without watching my diet and exercising! LOL!
BTW, all of them are not greasy, so you don’t have to worry about messing up your clothes in the day or your baby bedding if you tug in your kid.
