So i actually remembered that i need to do an entry on Skin Care. After my Nail Envy and TBS Spa Wisdom Foot Butter, i would start piling on skin care on my face.

Before i started this skin care regime a year ago, i actually use water to cleanse my face or sometimes, some pharmacy brand cleansers like Nivea or something. But after so many years of doing this, i realize my skin has some serious problem coming up like uneven skin tone and breakouts. U know, those tiny little red bumps that grows all over the forehead... My skin is also peeling near the mouth area and its really dry till i feel discomfort when i step out from the shower.

Then after much nagging from Sean to go for facial (I never went for facial till last year and my boyfriend have to nag me to go get one!) I obediently went for a trial at First Lady Beauty Centre. It cost me RM 38 and i hate it! Its so uncomfortable lying there. I can't sms. I can't play game on my phone. I basically have to keep my eyes close for the whole 3 hours but i can't sleep.

After that, i realize i really really need to take care of my skin already la. i am turning 23/24 soon.. if i don't start now, i would have to start with some anti aging skin care already. Since i also have some Jusco Cash Vouchers to use, I went to get myself my first ever counter brand skin care.
The highly raved Biotherm Aquasource Non Stop Moisturizer. So i skipped my cleanser and toner and use a moisturizer directly on my face. well, turns out that, i still have breakouts but not that serious and also my lips area is not that flaky anymore! So the RM 145 are worth it. I am on my 3rd jar now. One thing i don't really like it is that its packaging is in a glass jar. It gets really troublesome when i need to go travelling where i would need to scoop some out into tiny little jars. Another thing is that everytime i dip my fingers into this jar, i am so afraid my fingers would have bacteria or whatever dirty stuff and it would then be transferred into the jar and u know... ewwww!!! Other than that, its still my perfect moisturizer.

Next, i am searching for a perfect cleanser and toner to go with my Biotherm but i don't wish to pay that much money already la.. I don't know why but i just cannot spend so much on skin care before this. Then i discovered another brand for my toner!


The Clinique Clarifying Moisture Toner 2. Its 200ml and less than RM 70 i think. Ok lar.. still within my budget on toner. So i brought it home, start using it. Well, the packaging is not bad. The effects? its great to use with my Biotherm. So i guess its all worth it. And also, my breakouts miraculously disappear, my skin tone evens out, no more flaky skin and no more uncomfort feeling when i step out from the shower and when i wake up in the mornings. Even my beautician asked me whether i did facial somewhere else because even though i skipped like 3 months without a facial session, my skin improve tremendously.

okay so toner, checked. Moisturizer, checked. What else... oh yea my cleanser!!! I got the sample of Biotherm Bioource Hydra-Mineral Cleanser Toning Mousse. The name is a mouthful. so damn canggih! Well, its not cheap u know. i think its RM 90 for 150ml. But it lasted my quite long. Verdict: It goes perfectly okay with my other 2 skin care items. that is, the finish result are quite hydrating and soothing.



So after a year of using the above 3 skin care, my face are almost spotless now... hehe.. But i am damn busy at night now before i go to bed. so many things to slap on my body and face till sometimes, i am so lazy that i won't be bothered even though the products are in front of me.

Its been long since the last time i blogged about something. but well, i am blogging now with a freaking huge news!! I will be getting married... yes u read it right. 我要嫁人了！！！！！

anyway.. that's not my main point in this post. I felt like writing this is because i realize after my 24th birthday i am actually turning into another phase into my life already. I am planning for my own wedding. Actually saving money so i could contribute some into my wedding deco and also some of the petty little things like some house deco. Am also starting to take better care of myself.

U know what's my pre-bed routine now? I would get home and take a hot shower and sit down here in front of my laptop cum dressing cum study table and start my routine. so i thought i would write it down here and read back maybe in 5 years time (if i still remember my password la... ) whether all these that i had been doing works or not.

And also, i include some of my personal experience on certain products.

First and foremost when i sat down, i would start applying this.
Yes. The Original Nail Envy Nail Strengthener from OPI. This isn't cheap u know. It cost me RM 110 per bottle. Well, as some of u know, i teach piano and play the piano often. I also love to chew my nails... yea i know its dirty and full of germs and all. All of this above made my nails dry, brittle and soft. Since i wanted a pretty manicure with some pretty bridal nail art on it, my manicurist suggested that i use Nail Envy from now on so that it would strengthen my nails for the best result. I considered nail extensions initially but she said it would be too troublesome for me. So yea, I have been applying it every night on my finger and toe nails religiously for 3 weeks now. But the effect are still not that obvious. But one thing i do realise is that, the sides doesn't chip off layer by layer like last time.

2nd product after nail envy is this:


The Body Shop Spa Wisdom Honey & Beeswax Hand and Foot Butter. RM 69. I have damn dry feet and i just don't understand why. Its been years and its getting worst. Its like my feet are 50 years old!!! Damn it! I realize i need to beautify it to do justice to my beautiful wedding shoes la...
So i seek advice and someone asked me to apply some really good moisturizing lotion and baby oil and wear socks to sleep. So i thought, baby oil should go with baby lotion isn't it? So i went out to buy Johnson's baby lotion and use up almost half a bottle and guess what.. NO EFFECT leh... damn pissed off.

So went to The Body Shop to check the products out and the SA recommended this. After much consideration, Sean said, "Buy la buy la... u go drink starbucks one week also more than this price already... " So off i pay and went home happily.

The scent is like.. well, the famous body shop sweet scent la. i don't know how to describe it. Read from a blog that it smelled "warm, sweet and buttery"... SWEAT!
The texture.. its really like butter. Not watery, not creamy.. just buttery.
The results is... SUPERB! After one week, i can actually feel and see the difference! It softens my skin and also it doesn't give me the dry and crackey feeling on my feet anymore!

to be continued if i remember...
