Hada Labo Super Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Lotion

I have read good reviews on this product from other beauty blogs i read and since i have run out of toner since like few months ago i decided to give this a try...lol!

Its called moisturizing lotion but its actually toner. According to its description, 1gm hyaluronic acid is able to hold up to 6 litres of water...and this being SUPER hyaluronic acid (LOL!) it can retain twice that amount! :D Sounds a little exaggerated....but it might be true...



You can't rub it into your face like you do a normal cream/toner, you need to PAT it INTO your face. Normally, i need to pat for around 5-10 mins till my arms become a little sore. Which is why i only use it at nite :P

After the patting, you will feel that your face is smooth and velvety :)
My face feels so moisturized i m tempted to not apply moisturizer after that...hehehe...

After around 3 weeks of using this, i can actually feel my skin becoming fairer and more moisturized...it is smoother with less un-evenness...so i guess this product works too! lol...

the other good thing about this is, it is alcohol free! I got this at RM34.88 from guardian (i believe it is available exclusively only at guardian). They were actually having discounts that time so i m not too sure the original price. It should be less than RM50 but one bottle could last you very long i think. After 3 weeks, my lotion has reduced only a teenny bit :)

Etude House Goodbye Dark Circle Eye Cream

I wandered into Etude House recently after having ignored the little pink shop for so long. I was on the lookout for an eye gel but was still uncertain as to which brand i should try out. So since they were having a sale, i might as well ask the SA for an eye cream recommendation. She brought this one out for me ...




Goodbye Eye Circle Eye Cream (what a mouthful). Since it was quite cheap (RM45.90), i decided to give it a try. Don't you just love the little raccoon with one of his "black eye" erased off??Keke...

It comes with the eye cream of course...



One thing that convinced me this was going to work was its ingredients. The active ingredients are : broccoli, slim tea complex (mate tea,green coffee). and i know eye creams with caffeine have been known to work! lol

It also comes with this transparent massage stick thingy. At first, i thought it was a tube of serum...dont you think the transparent handle looks like serum? LOL! Cos the SA was quite persistent in reminding me that i need to dot that stick under my eye THREE times she specifically mentioned :D



Only when i came back, i realised its just a massage stick =_="

However, here is my verdict...i actually think this eye cream works! I have tried a lot of eye creams and none have really worked unfortunately :( and i have pretty bad eye bags and recently...i also have quite prominent dark circles :(

I dont know whether its just me but i have really noticed my dark circles diminishing slowly...even if i'm just imagining it, the skin under my eye has become smoother after using the eye cream...and the tiny little bumps/oil seeds has slowly dissapeared too after i start using it.

Brush case from daiso

Finally after much procrastination I manage to arrange my makeup brushes in the brush case I bought from daiso a month ago!lol. If it was not bcos my parents are coming over this week, perhaps I would not even have got around to tidy up my brushes. Keke



Love how my brushes are looking in the new case. I m a brush hoarder I just love to buy brushes even tho I seldom use some of them 'x'

As you can see how messy my dressing table is. I need to get back to tidying up before procrastination kicks in again!!

Guardian lavender scrub

I am love with this lavender scrub from guardian.


I did not put in much thought when I bought it cos I was about to go pay up for my vitamin c at the cashier when I saw the scrub and just added it to my shopping loot without so much as read the description cos it was just sooo cheap :)

At only rm5.90!

When I reached home and tried it....I was in love with It! I love the scent of the lavender and my skin felt smooth and smelt nice after the scrub! This proves that sometimes you just don't need expensive products do you? :P

So i have been on the lookout for THE perfect gold eyeshadow...so i took the chance with this NYX eyeshadow trio (rm21 excl postage)



i could only look at the picture of the color on the website and i cant really be sure whether it is the gold i want...

and lucky for me...it is QUITE near to what i have in mind =)



taken without flash


my search for the gold e/s is almost over! 'x' i m referring to the middle color...the antique gold. all 3 colors are shimmery . i would have done swatches on my hand but it is not easy to take pictures of swatches with a dslr...so i gave up 'x'


here's another pic with flash...but the focus is out...and i m lazy to retake the photo, so you'll just have to make do with this. the most important thing is MY gold color is in focus! :D
