It’s hard to get my hubby to wash his face. He will only do so if I remind me, and I’m tired of telling him the same thing everyday. Furthermore, he’s lazy to lather the facial foam, so I got him a bottle of Brightening Cleansing Mousse from Clarins. It’s really convenient for someone who’s as lazy as him. 
I like the cleansing mousse too because it’s sooooo easy to be used. Too bad I left it in Ipoh, so maybe I will get another bottle of cleansing mousse from Clarins later when hubby is checking out the plasma mount and HiFi set at Future Park.
I love going for holiday, especially if it’s a nice place where my whole family can enjoy a nice vacation. If you are interested to travel to Branson, don’t forget to check out the theme park, Silver Dollar City, which I think my kids will really enjoy. We can’t plan for any holiday abroad now as hubby is very busy this year, but if the vacation package is free, I don’t mind paying for the flight tickets. LOL!
But I’ve never won anything, I’m just not lucky enough for anything that comes free. So, I wonder when can I go for a trip to Branson? How much do I need to save up for shopping? What are the great stuffs should I buy if I’m there? Are my kids too young to visit the museum of Ripley’s Believe it or Not?
I guess we need to plan well if we are having a holiday there, but it’s not going to be anytime in the near future. So sad…
I was looking through my memory stick just now and I noticed that I’ve forgotten to blog about my shopping trip at Sasa. Sasa is undoubtedly one of the best place to get some beauty products at affordable price. Most of the outlets have common brands like L’Oreal, Maybelline, Kate and etc, but I like to look for those products from Japan.
These are some of the things I got from Sasa that day…
Mascara and lash curler from Cyber Colors
Battery Operated Lash Curler
I like the mascara, and I was surprised at its effect, considering that it’s much cheaper than my regulars from Lancome. The lash curler fits me too. The one I got my Elianto doesn’t work well for my eyes. I kept clamping into my skin and it’s very painful! Since I’ve been using my lash curler from Shiseido for years, it’s about time I get a new curler for my peepers. Furthermore, I can curl my lashes better with the heated lash curler now. Yippie!
In short, it’s always nice to shop at Sasa.
I’ve booked for facial and manicure this week, and they are one of the things I want to do when I get back to Ipoh. After 2 months of DIY, I’m desperate for some professional pampering! LOL! I wonder if I should go for spa as well as I’m craving for a full body massage. Let’s see I have time for this since I’m only back for a short period of time.
Besides that, I’m back with empty luggage, so I might want to do some shopping as if I haven’t shopped enough in Bangkok huh? LOL! Anyway, it’s good to be home!
I have been using the sunblock from Biotherm for the last 2 months, but I accidentally threw it away days ago when I was tidying up my room.
So, I am using Shiseido Anessa Mild Sunscreen (Face) EX SPF 46 PA+++ now and I love it! It’s non greasy, and it brightens up my face. I’m not using foundation after it, but just some concealer on my eye area. It’s just as simple as that!
I still have the body sunscreen from Shiseido body care, maybe once I’ve emptied the bottle, I will get the body sunscreen from Anessa, especially before my trip to Pattaya. I really feel like lying under the sun on one of those pool floats, knowing that I will be well protected by Anessa sunscreen from head to toe. 
We reached Penang last night. My hubby wanted to check out the macbook and printers last night, so I went window shopping by myself. I haven’t bought anything from Elianto before, but last night, I went in for a look.
I didn’t get anything much except some makeup accessories. I’m surprised that most of the products are very cheap, and there is a wide variety of eyeshadow in nice colors. Maybe I will get some one day.
I like the products from Vaseline. I used to get the petroleum jelly for my chapping lips, but these days, I will buy the hand and nail cream moisturizing lotion, the UV protection lotion for body as well as Vaseline Intensive Care on regular basis. I put some bottles of the hand lotions at the kitchen sinks of my house so that I can use them regular. My hands are quite dry after frequent washing and cooking, so the lotion helps a lot.
Furthermore, most products by Vaseline are very cheap, so you just don’t feel the pinch of buying them. LOL! BTW, they aren’t that bad, and you can try them out.
I went shopping at Siam Paragon the other day, and I learned something about buying skincare and cosmetic in Bangkok. All these major brands only offer membership to regular customers for a particular counter at a shopping mall only, and points cannot be collected for other counter on the same brand. It’s different from Malaysia. I buy skincare products anywhere in Malaysia, as long as I show them my member card or identity card, I can easily collect points for my purchase and later on, I can get some redemption on the points collected.
So, I have made up my mind where to get my skincare products from in Bangkok now. For Estee Lauder, I will shop at Robinson Rangsit. For Shiseido, I will buy from Siam Paragon. I bought Shiseido Revital Wrinklelift Retino Science Lotion AA, a sunblock by Anessa, and the enriched softener by White Lucent that day, and I will probably use them in the morning as my night routine consists of products by Estee Lauder. I like to use whitening products in the day and anti aging products at night.
So, I guess I won’t simply buy skincare products anyway in Bangkok now. It’s best to stick to the same counter huh? But too bad, the promoters of both counters can’t speak English. Gee…
I’ve started using Estee Lauder Intensive Lifting Eye Creme for a few days and besides that instant brightening effect, I haven’t seen how it can work well for me yet. Like most face or eye cream, we need to use the products for some time before we can see some results. But nonetheless, it doesn’t have that pleasant scent like Estee Lauder Intensive Lifting Creme which I really like. The texture is great as you can easily smooth the eye cream around your eye area, and I just have to use more if I want to have an eye massage.
I guess I will continue to use it and see if it will reduce my fine lines and dark circles in 3 weeks. That should be long enough to know if its beauty properties work for me. If it’s not working, I will look for another eye cream. I’m really keen to try out eye creams even if some of them are as expensive as my car insurance. LOL!
I’m desperate for a facial now. Once I fly back home, I will make an appointment with my beautician to clean up all the pores on my face! Without a cleansed face, all those lotions and serums are a waste as they won’t penetrate into my skin.
Maybe I’m just too particular about myself, but I’ve got used to taking good care of my skin. I’m not pretty woman who has all the good genes, so I need to take good care of myself if I would like to delay the aging process. If stem cell can be used to maintain my youth, I might want to give it a serious thought too! Let’s see if I can find out more about this from C’elle website and see what the satisfied customers think about this from C’elle Client Testimonial. Most important, the cost has to be affordable, and the cells can be used in life saving moments too.
But for the time being, I will just pray hard that I won’t have a outbreak. I just can’t wait for a relaxing facial session with my beautician back home!
