Coverderm for Skin Imperfections

My friend is selling some products from Coverderm. After persuading me for weeks, I finally made up my mind to try some out. I bought the waterproof concealer for my dark circles and the makeup removal.


Coverderm Waterproof Concealer

 


Coverderm Makeup Removal

I tried both for days, and I have to say that the concealer is great at covering up my dark circles, but the fine lines are so visible after a while. Maybe it’s too thick, or I misuse it? Gee…looking for a good concealer is not easy. I tried lots of brands but my favorite one, believe it or not, it’s Loreal’s True Color. It’s cheap and thin. It’s not thick at all!!! So, I hardly see any fine lines after applying for a while.

As for the makeup removal, oh well, it’s just like the rest. Frankly, I can’t find much difference between one and another removal. LOL!

So, what am I going to do Coverderm? Dump it away in Wilmington real estate? LOL!

Sparkling White Teeth Like Celebrities

I’m a coffee drinker but too much of coffee is not good for my teeth. As you know, caffeine can stain my teeth and I can forget about having celebrity sexy teeth if I’m not going anything about it. I went to my dentist 2 weeks ago for regular checkup and scaling. I didn’t have time for teeth whitening because my kids were screaming hysterically seeing the whole process and they really freaked out.

Besides that, you don’t have to go for teeth whitening at the dental clinic anymore. There are lots of teeth whitener related products in the market, and celebrity sexy teeth whitener is one of them.

Some of us are skeptical about trying out a DIY teeth whitener because some of the products will cause tooth sensitivity and it’s not comfortable for us. Besides that, if the concentration of active whitening ingredient is insignificant, the whitening result is disappointing. Nonetheless, Celebrity Sexy Teethâ„¢ claimed that the key ingredients will make wonder by drawing hydrogen peroxide into both the outer and inner layer of teeth enamel, thus the whitening effect is visible and remains longer.

Frankly, I’m curious about how great this teeth whitener is because it guarantees to whiten your teeth in 8 shades lighter within 14 days. If the result is that good, I might want to try it out. There’s a hot deal going on and maybe some of my friends are interested too. We can share out the shipping cost!

But wait a minute, what about my next appointment with my dentist? Should I just cancel it? :P

Sales at Kohl’s

I only found out that it’s President’s Day in the states today and most of the shopping sites are having promotions and sales. If you are interested to get any products from Kohl’s, don’t forget to use the Kohls coupon codes available to save up more on your purchase.

Can think of anything to buy? How about the fun fragrance from Flirt?

Kissable Lips On Valentine’s Day

I noticed that I haven’t taken good care of my lips for the past weeks and I have some chapped lips again. I can’t blame anyone but myself for being so lazy at my beauty routine. Nonetheless, I can’t let it worsen because Valentine’s Day is just around the corner! Don’t you wish to have kissable lips on Valentine’s Day? I sure do! I like those lips of celebrities like Angelina Jolie or Shu Qi, both of them have the prettiest and plumpest lips I have ever seen.

But it’s not hard to fake a sexy plump lips like them thanks to the creation of beauty products! All we need is the celebrity sexy lips as shown below:

This celebrity sexy lip plumper will create immediate effect in producing a larger and plumper lips just like Shu Qi, and don’t you think that’s sexy and exotic? On top of that, I’m interested to try it out since it claimed that you won’t have the burning sensation when you are using it. I tried other lip plumper products before, and most of them made me feel like I was putting chili on my lips. With chapped lips, it’s not a good idea to experience that burning sensation now! On the other hand, this lip plumper is moist enough to protect the lips from chapping, thus it might be more suitable for me.

So, maybe I should just get one since there is a hot deal going on? But can it reach me before Valentine’s Day? I am desperate to fix my lips in a week!

Raspberry Roots Collagen Eye Patch by The Face Shop

I tried Raspberry Roots Collagen Eye Patch by The Face Shop yesterday and I love it! I don’t see immediately lifting on my eye area, but the eye patch is very comfortable and it sticked to my skin tightly and didn’t fall off while I was taking care of my kids or doing my stuffs. Not all eye patch can have full contact with our skin, I tried quite a number of them, and this eye patch really patches on well.

For better effect, maybe I should put some eye serum first before using the eye patch. I will try it again next time when I am feeling for it. See? For beauty freak like me, just get me some eye masks and I will be so happy to try them on. Besides, they are definitely more affordable that any cheap hotel Las Vegas. But how come none of the guys I dated gave me beauty products except my hubby? No wonder I ended up marrying him. LOL!

Keeping In Shape with Body Shaping Lotions

I haven’t slimmed down a lot even if I replace my lunch with oats for weeks. I think the main reason why I didn’t lose weight fast enough is I don’t go for yoga regularly. I knit a lot lately, and sitting there for long hours is definitely not a good form of exercise.

I have a fitness equipment at home, but I have never used it. Hubby bought it and I hardly see him using the equipment too. LOL! So, I wonder if I should get myself a bottle of Christian Dior Plasticity Anti-Cellulite Corrective Gel For Body? I used this after my second labor and I’m quite pleased with the result because it’s not sticky and absorb pretty fast.

However, I don’t really like the scent. Another option I would go for is Shiseido ‘Body Creator’ Aromatic Sculpting Gel. I used this before too, and I love the scent and smoothness after every apply.

Both of them are quite expensive, and I know I can’t see much with just a bottle. It’s definitely a long term investment for me.

CO-Q10 and Ceramide Masks from The Face Shop

IMG_0414

I bought lots of masks from The Face Shop and I started using one of them a week later. I tried CO-Q10 (Coenzyme Q10) first, and here’s what I think:

  • I don’t like the scent. It smells like alcohol to me, and I found it listed as one of the ingredient too.
  • The size of the mask doesn’t fit me well, but then again, every one has different face shape and size.
  • I have redness on my face when I took off the sheet mask 10 minutes later. I don’t think it’s suitable for me so I won’t buy this mask again.

A few days later, I tried Ceramide mask, and this one works better for me. Nonetheless, I still have some complains:

  • The size of the sheet mask is definitely not for me again. Coming from the same company, I think all of them might be produce in the same shape and size, so there’s nothing I can do about it.
  • I have redness, but it’s not as serious as the time I used CO-Q10.
  • My skin was really moist and hydrated. The hydration effect was quite pleasant.

I still have a few mask from The Face Shop and I will try all of them soon. As for the sleeping mask, it’s working well on me in terms of hydration but not lifting effect. I can’t use it everyday too, my face has some milia if I do so.

I Grabbed Something in Bangkok

I didn’t shop a lot of myself in Bangkok and the only thing I got is a blouse from Zara. It’s one of my favorite brand, but I won’t get anything unless there is a sale! We bought lots of clothes for the kids, so they are all prepared for Chinese New Year. Hubby wanted to get some camping gear but after some thoughts, he let it go. It’s too troublesome moving those things back!

So, when we reached Bangkok International Airport yesterday, I quickly grabbed some skincare from the duty free as Lamer is cheaper here!!! I’m not sure about Clarins, but I needed a blusher and a base, so I simply grabbed them. Besides, hubby was willing to pay mah. LOL!

Too bad I didn’t have much time for more, if not I will end up with more than a dozen bottles of beauty products!!!

Beauty is something everyone admires and perfumes and fragrances can be a big part of that. You can get discount perfumes online for those interested in buying fragrances like mens cologne.

A Phone With Beauty

I’m using a Nokia N95 which is not a lady phone. It looks very thick and manly. If it’s not because of the wide screen and how well it’s rated, I won’t buy the phone in the first place. Frankly, I prefer something more feminine, just like the Prada phone by LG.

Of course, guys can get it too, but I think it’s more like a fashion product than a ordinary phone. But I won’t buy another phone now since I’ve just spent a lot on N95. Unless someone gives me a new unlocked phone by Prada, if not I don’t think I have a chance of getting one. Should I give hubby a hint? LOL! But it’s a long way before my next birthday!

Gloves In A Bottle

I knit a lot lately and my fingers are getting rougher and dryer due to the frequent friction between the yarns and needles and my skin. I used to put on my hand cream but some times, it’s not absorbing fast enough and I hate the slippery feeling I have on my hands which makes knitting harder than fun.

I received this free sample of Gloves In A Bottle a month ago and I started using it for the last 2 weeks. It’s just a lotion, but it’s non greasy at all. I use it for my hands and feet before I go to bed. During my pedicure and medicure session last week, my pedicurist said that my skin is softer and smoother now. I used to have very bad crack heels, but it’s improving.

So, I guess it’s really like putting on a pair of gloves after applying the lotion. If you are interested to know more about this product, check out www.glovesinabottle.com.
