Shiseido THE SKINCARE Eye Moisture Recharge

These are just some of the products I bought during the month of April, as you can see, I’m really a laneige girl. I think almost all my skincare products are bought from laneige except for eye cream, I’ve very bad dark eye circles and eye bags problem. Up till this date, I’m still actively searching for an eye cream that would work for me. At the moment, I think the one that have the best effect for me is THE SKINCARE Eye Moisture Recharge by Shiseido, it’s not my Holy Grail eye product, but it’s what works best for me now.

Also, I’m not a big fan of laneige sleeping mask just yet, probably because I haven’t been using it often enough, but I feel what it does for me is pretty limited.. I’ll continue using it and sees what it can do.

You may want to note that, I might be stopping my skII after I finished it. Not because it isn’t great, but because my skin is already quite thin as it is, I don’t want to make it thinner than what is needed. In any case, thin skin is more susceptible to “injuries” and what not, meaning you have to take greater care of your skin.

My favourite make up cleanser will be mild cleansing oil by fancl, I’ve been using it for the past two years, and may I say, I love it! It’s such a hassle free product, it makes removing make up so much easier! But the down side is that, it’s not that great for removing eye lash glue or waterproof mascara. The eye lash glue that I’m currently using is by darkness, the waterproof mascara I’m using is by Majolica Majorca. Again, they are not my Holy Grail products, but personally, I feel the mascara is pretty awesome for volumising purposes!

As for the face primer, honestly speaking, I didn’t have the chance to try a lot of brands yet, I tried biotherm whitening makeup base which was really oily for my skin, as for the laneige, it helps my makeup stay on matte for about 4hours or more, depending on the environment I’m exposed to. Also, for ladies that don’t fancy fragrance on their skin product, you may want to give laneige a miss. I prefer not to have fragrance on my skincare products, but I don’t mind having it, if you get me..

Moving on, to body lotion, I’m really fussy when it comes to body lotion, I can’t sleep with lotion that are too slippery or oily, they have to be all absorbed in before I can sleep which is a down side for me because I usually apply lotion right before I sleep. Until I tried Mt sapola invigorating body lotion! It was given to me as a gift by a close friend of mine, so when I saw Mt sapola while having casting at vivo city, I got all excited and bought another bottle. This is the lemongrass one, recommended to me by the sales lady. It doesn’t smell awesome, but I don’t really care since I only apply it right before bed, nobody is going to smell me while I’m sleeping.

Ps, these are all my skincare products at the moment, I’ve no idea why they finishes at the same time altogether..

Thought I would share

Disclaimer: I don't know how true is this, I saw this on my twitter timeline, and SS it to share. I'll be going town this Sunday, and would probably check this out.

If you are wondering where can diva and guardian be found, here are some that I know of,

Diva at Bugis, Ion.
Guardian at Takashimaya, Paragon

Update: The loreal's 2nd item at $5 are only for a certain few items, definitely not lipsticks, I asked the sales person there.
.
As for diva, for some of you, you would most probably feels it's cheap. It's a storewide promotion. For me, i calculated, most of the stuffs are actually about 20dollars and up, which makes it about $13 each? Personally, I don't usually spend that much for a necklace. For others, that's probably their usual pricings. Haha, as I'm obsessed with accessories, this is the way I control myself to ensure that I don't overspend, not that it helped much. /Laughs Oh, but they do have a mini sales collection which priced at about $6-$9, mostly $9. If you can find three sales items, that would be terrific.

On a side note, I found inspiration at Diva, it's a hairband thingy, I might do a DIY post on it. Wait for it. (:

Shopping haul: drugstore and forever 21 Accesories.

Drugstore buys: prices are from drugstore website itself, the promotions I enjoyed back then, likely have ended, since I bought these at the start of dec. I only receive them two weeks ago, due to Christmas, heavy traffic for online shopping and whatnot which causes delay for shipping, blahblah.

Revlon Super Lustrous - Pearl Lipstick, Softshell Pink - .15 oz $7.99

Crest 3D White Professional Effects Whitestrips - 20 ea $33.99

Rimmel Soft Kohl Kajal Eye Liner Pencil, Sable Brown 011 $2.38

Milani Liquif'Eye Metallic Eye Liner Pencil, Brown 05 $6.49

Maybellin The Colossal - Waterproof Volum' Express Mascara, Glam Black 240 $6.39

CoverGirl LashBlast Waterproof Mascara, Very Black 885 - .44 oz $7.29

I MIGHT, "might" being the operative word, do a review on the cosmetics, which WILL take a long while, since my majolica Majorca isn't empty yet. I know, I know, I'm supposed to throw them after a couple of months, they are not good for your lashes once they past a few months old, ya-da, ya-da. But I feel, it's such a waste. =\

That being said, I'm pretty satisfied with my buys except for the Faux Stone Hinge Bracelet; Forever 21, antique clock necklace. Personally, I don't fancy magnetic clasp, also, I feel that the clock is too small, I wanted something bigger. Oh well, any takers?

As for that random nail polish, I just feel that it's really cute! This only cost $2, but for such a small bottle, it's actually not that cheap. Also, because the "cap" is so small and short, I've difficulty with the application. Its not a top coat, just a clear nail polish color, which I'm gonna use on my accessories. So that they can last me longer. (: a little tip for you uh? I didn't use this on my nails, so, no comments on that.

This can be found at any SASA outlet. Cost about $2sgd, I think.
