All about Beauty

Most of us wear sleeveless tops or spaghetti straps in sunny hot weather, so maybe some women prefer to take extra care of their armpits. Take a look at this:

 Shizuka New York, the Japanese salon that brought bird-poop facials to midtown, has now introduced the “underarm overhaul,” just in time for summer. The treatment begins with a thorough steaming and cleansing to remove dirt and debris (apparently you can get clogged pores in your armpit), followed by hair removal with wax or the more high-tech intense pulsed light (which costs $100 extra). Finally, a plastic surgeon injects the sweat glands with Botox. The price of pristine pits? A mere $1,500.

Gosh, that price is too much to me. Let’s just stick to shaving, plucking, deodorant and not lifting up our arms. LOL!

Like most women, I like to find out more about the latest cream or technology which has proven to slow down the anti aging process besides making us looking younger than our actual age. Don’t you just want to look young and lively for as long as it takes? Even if we might not be able to afford those expensive approaches, but there is not harm being alert about this.

From All About C’elle, I found out that they are developing an anti aging approach by using stem cells from menstrual fluid. I know it is yucky but they are stem cells, so it is totally different from your fluid. LOL!

I think a lot of women will love to know more about this, and there is a business opportunity in cell stem harvested from menstrual fluid. It might be new, but just think about it. If you are interested to Become C’elle Distributor, find out more about this from the links. I won’t think I want to Become C’elle Distributor, I can’t face blood.

 I have a few set of skincare products and I don’t always stick to the same range all the time. I will use some products as according to my skin condition since it charges from time to time. When I have my menstrual cycle, I notice that my complexion is the worst during those days which some outbreaks or tiny spots. Thus, my regular products might not be suitable for my skin for a week or 2.

I used to hate the cycle, but my perception changed once I know All About C’elle. Stem cell can be extracted from the menstrual blood and be used for certain medical treatments. There is a controversy about these clinical regenerative medical therapies, but some people have been benefited from the treatments. There is a special introductory price, so if you are interested, you can just get your Celle Order Now. By the way, you can also Become C’elle Distributor and earn some commission from this program, which is only available in the states for the time being.

So, I guess I better get used to my cycle and stop cursing its effect on my skin huh? After all, the unsanitary waste has a purpose now.

 

I’ve bought the nude makeup book by Kevin but I might get a copy of it later. I have always prefered to look natural like I’m not putting on any makeup, but it’s not that easy to be done considering that I have severe dark circles and eye bags. I think the only way to get rid of them is plastic surgery!

But still, I’m curious about the tips given by Kevin. If you are interested to know some part of the contents, check out this site. It’s written in Chinese so hopefully you can read it.

I love buying magazines, and the Queen magazine is out of my favorite. The summer edition is out and I wonder if I can grab a copy of it before I fly to Bangkok? There’s one book store in Ipoh which manages to get most of the latest magazines as soon as they are launched.

If you like reading or collecting fashion and makeup books and magazines, don’t miss this one. Besides that, I’m still watching the show, so if you are always wondering about the brands of skincare and cosmetic being introduced on the show, just grab the magazine for more information.

Westerners and Asians have different perspective in beauty. While some western girls are trying to reduce their nose, some Asian are going for nose job for taller nose and some of us don’t even like our button noses. Just bring an Asian baby around and you will be hearing comments like “she has double eye lids! she has a tall nose! She’s so fair.” See? The common standards that define a pretty Asian girl in the eyes of Asians.

I wonder if there’s any Asian girl who changed her mind when she’s heading for a rhinoplasty nose surgery in Manhattan, NY? Maybe she’s approached by some ang moh guys telling her how gorgeous she was and how he liked her button nose. Will you change your mind of getting a nose job if someone praise your nose?

Anyway, maybe some makeup tips can help to make our noses taller huh?

Actually, I started caring for my skin rather late. My mom didn’t like the idea of me using any skincare products even if I was actively involving in camping, marching (I was a teen cadet), and all sorts of outdoor activities. I was exposed to the sun almost everyday without a tint of sunblock! No wonder I have brown spots now!

So, take my parenting advice, young girls. Start caring for your skin as early as possible. Even if you feel the obligation to start using anti-aging products at the age of 21, do so. As long as you can afford the products, why now? No point starting late and by the time you notice the fine lines, you might be paying more on expensive products and hoping for miracles.

I’m so regret that I didn’t use eye creams early enough!

We went to the beach today and I didn’t put on any sunblock. I brought along my Shiseido sunblock as well as Loreal spray on but I only put it on my kids. As the results, I’m totally “roasted” now. LOL!

My kids love the sun like me too, but it’s important to put on sunblock on them to prevent sun burn. I didn’t put on sunblock until I was in my 20s and by that time, I had brown spots and freckles already. It’s a bit too late to make them disappeared but some whitening spot correctors may help.

If you are wondering why I didn’t put on the sunblock today, oh well, I was too busy and lazy. But when I go on cruises next time, I will put the sunblock from head to toe.

My medicurist asked me to try the black nail polish by OPI but I dare not try it. I always keep my nails short, and she said they will look best in black. I know that black is nice if you know how to carry the look, but I don’t know any stay-at-home mothers that use that color for their fingernails. LOL!

But for young girls, they can easily carry the nails in black just like the celebrities. Ayumi from Japan likes to paint her nails in black too, if you observe her pretty nails. But if you are working in a corporate world, I don’t think black works for your nails. Unless you are making a living selling online auto insurance at home without meeting your clients, then you can paint you nails in any color you wish.

I wonder if I should get a copy of this makeup book called Beauty 103, written by Li Qian Rong? I am not good at Chinese, but I will try to figure it out by looking at the photos. Besides that, I’m more interested to know more about the products she used that the makeup tips. It’s not easy to figure out which products should we buy and most of the time, we will just ended up with tonnes of unfinished products on our dressing tables. All these books may have some commercial influence, but they provide insights on which products are better too.

Let’s see if I have time to grab a copy from the book store…
