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.

Coffee Scrub

 As I’m taking my second cup of coffee now, I couldn’t help thinking what would happen if I can’t take coffee for a day? I only managed to stop this habit during pregnancy and breastfeeding exclusively, but now I’m depending on it like crazy. But coffee is not necessary all bad to us as you can use the coffee grounds from the espresso machines as body scrub.

Coffee scrub is great to micro circulation and reduce the appearance of cellulite. If you don’t mind cleaning up the messy toilet later, you can give it a try. I think I will just get those body scrub with caffeine in it. The effect is about the same.

Perioe Teeth Whitening Strips

Drinking too much coffee and tea is bad for your teeth. I hate the stain on my teeth too, that’s why I have plans on seeing a dentist and get some teeth whitening treatment. I did once in Penang, and let’s see if I can make an appointment when I’m back to Penang.

Previously, I tried a DIY teething whitening product, but I can’t remember the name of the product anymore. I got it from Watsun, if I’m not mistaken. You have to use it for about 21 days to see the results. But this teeth whitening strips from Perioe claimed that you will see the difference in 7 days, and that’s pretty remarkable.

 

If you can read Korean, go to their official website. I don’t have a clue what it’s about. LOL! But I can read some Chinese, so it seems to get some good reviews.

Too bad this product from LG, Korea is not available here. Has anyone seen it? So I better make an appointment with my dentist, or stop drinking coffee which looking at this website about succession planning. However, I can’t live without coffee, so I better give the dentist a call soon.

Stupid Fine Lines! Give Me La Mer The Eye Concentrate!!!

I hate looking at my eyes now because I found some line fines on my eye bags, argh!!!!! I know that it’s all due to my lifestyle as a night owl. Unless I get 8 hours of sleep everyday, if not I can forget about having a pair of pretty eyes. But since I cannot do much about getting more sleep, I would rather invest in eye cream. I’m tempted to try La Mer The Eye Concentrate now and I found it from this website.

The eye concentrate works in tandem with a specially-engineered, silver-tipped applicator which helps cool the skin, immediately improving micro-circulation. Tich in Hematite, a natural magnetic mineral known for its energies. The eye Concentrate works over time to dramatically dissolve the appearance of dark circles and puffiness. The eye area appears healthy and more vital.
Improving clarity and discoloration, an exclusive marine ferment penetrates the skin with a powerful wave of activity. The appearance of discoloration and unevenness is dramatically diminished. Skin that looks tarnished and full regains a healthy radiance and brightness as it is brought back to its most luminous center.

Do you know what’s stopping me from putting that item in the shopping cart? It’s the price. It’s selling at USD $265.95!!!! Cam you imagine how many paid posts are needed to come to that amount? But I’m very tempted to get it!!! So, I better ask hubby to forget about getting that real estate franchise give me some money to get that miracle cream. I need a miracle now.

OSIM uSqueez

559c_1

I have always tempted to give this a try, but since I normally go shopping with 2 younger kids who refuse to wait for mommy to check thing out, I can’t seem to find some time for OSIM uSqueez. I don’t have legs like Lin Chi Ling, but ladies, don’t you feel the soreness after shopping or standing for long hours? It’s not that we can always get someone to massage our legs for us *looking across to my sleeping piggy hubby* and it’s too troublesome to do it by ourselves too.

So, if I have this leg massager, I bet my legs will feel so much better. But hey, it’s selling at RM1.4, *gulp* very expensive leh…

Kose Astalution

The word astamanthin captured my attention because it’s claimed to be 150 times more effective than Q10 and 550 times more than vitamin E in terms of bringing out the fresh resilience and firmness back to the skins around the eyes, mouth and face line. So, how can’t I miss this product?

I didn’t have a chance to see the real product yet because it’s still not available at our local Kose counters. Gee….why is everything a little bit slow here? Besides the Astalution Essense and Lotion, I would like to try the latest Astalution product, which is the eye mask.

I’m a sucker for mask, especially eye mask. If this is more effective than my SKII, I will get a lot of it! But tell me, anyone seen these products here? KL have or not?

Loreal White Perfect Peel

I thought I have dumped it away but my maid must have found it somewhere and she placed this on my dressing table. I was thinking about getting myself an intensive home whitening treatment some time ago, but I couldn’t use this product as I have always been nursing my gal. This product is not suitable for both pregnant and nursing mothers, as stated in the description which is found inside the packing.

I told hubby to give it a try, but he didn’t want to end up with a face fairer than the rest of his body. Besides, he plays golf, so he doesn’t need whitening! It will be a waste of time.

So anyone wants this product or not?

Kiehl’s Lip Balm

Lip Balm #1

I have been reading a lot of reviews and saw some recommendation from the makeup artist on how good the lip balm from Kiehl is. I’m very interested to get one since everyone complains that the lip balm from Clarins is sting, I have to look for other alternative. When I went for my foot spa just now, the lady had also recommend this lip balm. Wow! All of them made it sound like it’s so good, I have to get one and try it out.

But there is not outlet selling Kiehl’s products here, unless I shop online. However, I’m a bit reluctant as I would like to try the oiliness and see how it smells like. So anyone had tried the lip balm before? What’s your rating?

Do You Want Freebies?

Do you know why I love to collect skin care samples from the cosmetic counters? I have always curious about how effective those new products are but if you ask me to buy the full size of the skin care, it might be wasting my money it the product doesn’t suit my skin. On top of that, I travel quite frequently and I prefer to bring along those sample bottles or packets of samples which are not space consuming. After all, I can just throw them away once they are finished or my luggage is too full of the things I shopped.

Let’s just say that I love Freebies! Not only beauty products, but makeups, baby stuffs, clothes and etc. Anything free is great! If you love freebies too, you better check out That Freebie Site which is a place to get legit free stuffs and you don’t have to refer to anyone or sign up any deals to get the freebies. It sounded too good to be true? You won’t know how good it is until you check out the site.

So what do you think about getting a beauty box? I desperately need one to store all my beauty stuffs. They are messing up my dressing tables!
