Just a short post. Haven’t have the time to snap pics yet.
Guardian is having a warehouse sales at Viva Home at event hall area. Not sure till when but I was there yesterday. There’s Clinelle clearance (price start from RM4 I think) and My Beauty Diary Mask too. MBD 10 pieces mask is selling for RM28. Not sure how much is retail price. MBD expiry is 2013 but Clinelle is May 2012. That’s shelf life. After opening is another 12-18 months ya.

I am so damn pissed off since yesterday night that I couldn’t sleep. I make sure I get off bed early today just to blog about this. From the post title you could have guessed that it has something to do with Ecotools brushes. This will be a long post because I need to condemn the idiot seller who self-proclaimed herself as someone who “studied law” (dear seller, do you even know who am I???), I need to show you the authentic vs fake Ecotools as well as my conversation with the stupid cum idiot seller who is trying to twist and turn things because she thought I’m stupid too! Good try stupid seller!
Exactly on Tuesday I ordered a 5-pc and 6-pc brush set from a seller in LYN who contacted me earlier in Dec’11 upon seeing my “what to find” forum post. This seller’s ID is sharon1604. She replied promptly but coldly and I made my payment immediately after confirming what there is needed to be confirmed. The next thing you know. She went poof. I pm-ed her again the next morning thinking my parcel is already packed, ready to be sent out but instead she replied she will send the next day. WTF?? So this is the 3rd warning alarm that this seller is not authentic. The next day she still haven’t pm me the delivery status and provide me my parcel tracking number so I pm-ed her again on the status. Still no reply I pm-ed her again. She didn’t bother to reply anything even. I could see her last online time and she did went online for a few times. She just didn’t bother to reply my message. Alright. This is the 4th warning alarm that there’s something not right about this seller. I told my mum to keep an eye on the PosLaju man and if there’s no parcel arriving, I’m gonna screw her upside down. As she have another selling thread, I post to that thread and she immediately she pm-ed me. Maybe that’s her “rice bowl” thread so she replied my pm-ed. Twice. My mum called me in the evening saying the parcel arrived. Okay. I have 2 concern at the beginning; is the seller a cheater, is the brush set authentic? By that time I have one less concern and I have one big concern on the authenticity.
I stumbled across this simple 12 animal signs forecast for 2012 by Joey Yap. I don’t know bout you but I’m the type where I’d read and put it behind me. So if your animal sign forecast is not looking good, just be extra cautious. That’s all. There’s no need to frown till the end of the year 🙂
I know I haven’t been doing any Clarins review lately. It’s for 2 good reasons though. 1 – I’m kinda indecisive which product to review, 2 – I wouldn’t wanna overdose you with Clarins =P. However. . . I’m still gonna overdose you with Clarins but in other way. This time I’m going to blog about my day and night skin care regimen.
I’m the kind of girl that can’t stay with one same brand or product for long time. I get bored easily. Thus buying full size, expensive and branded skin care is not workable for me. I’d prefer buying trial size from online as they’re cuter and cheaper for my “easily bored” use. I remembered when I started a new journey with Clarins back in March 2011, I only bought a full size bottle of Shaping Facial Lift and Pure and Radiant Mask. About two months down the road my client actually complimented that my skin look radiant and better. They asked if I’m using SK-II lol! From that day onwards I’m totally a convert. I don’t get bored with one brand as it works for my skin. But once in a while I do stray to other brands for fun.
I kept things simple for day as I wouldn’t want my face to be oily.
1 – Purifying Cleansing Gel With Hamamelis
As I put on many layers of skin care the night before, my skin tend to be oily when I woke up. My favourite cleanser in the morning is definitely this. The heavenly scent “woke” me up and cleanse everything from my face throughly.
2 – Toning Lotion With Iris
This toner is very refreshing and light. It’s not sticky like any other toner in the market. Just like water.
3 – Aqua Essence Morning Energy
This is something like “pre-serum” which prepares the skin for following skin care and freshen my face. I looked more fresh and wake up after misting this. But of course you need to pat this dry. One bottle really last very long.
4 – Defining Eye Lift
I called this “Shaping Facial Lift for the eyes”. It lift, reduce puffiness and fine lines. Eyes doesn’t look heavy and droopy using this.
5 – Eye Contour Balm
I bought this to reduce fine lines and wrinkles on the inner corner of my eyes. The wonderful thing about this is that it doesn’t make your eye make up oily too.
6 – All Spots Whitening Corrector
I can’t live without this. This my friend works in lightening acne scars!
7 – Shaping Facial Lift
This basically saved me from swollen, puffy, fat face due to Hyperthyroidism medication. My face is now more tone, slimmer, firmer and more defined. Somehow this gives me a radiant too.
8 – Pore Minimizing Serum
This is my 5th bottle already. 1st bottle is full size 30ml, 2nd to 5th bottle is 15ml trial size. My pore is smaller and sebum secretion is in control now. Oh and I managed to track down one of Clarins counter which still have the RM68 best buy set and I reserved another 2 sets. Truly Matte Best Buy set is already faced out so I might buy more when I collect the reserved sets.
9 – HydraQuench Cream-Gel
Hydrating non-sticky gel which provide my skin the necessary hydration the whole day. So far I never found any good hydrating moisturizer which provide hydrating without making my skin oily. When the scent blended into my skin, it sort of smell like Burberry Body perfume.
10 – Multi-Active Day Early Wrinkle Correction Cream
Sometimes I use this sometimes I don’t. On days where I wanted minimal stuff on my face, I’d skip this and massage some on my neck instead.
11 – UV Plus HP Day Screen High Protection Tinted Version
Last but not least the most important of all. Sunblock. After I discovered this I stopped using BB cream (which will clog pores) or any cream foundation as this alone is more than enough as sunblock and as make up base.
Night regime is more important for me. I love to put a thick layer of skin care on my skin before sleep.
1a / 1b – One-Step Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser With Orange Extract / Cleansing Milk With Gentian
I removed all my make up after work with either one of this on alternate rotation.
2 – Gentle Foaming Cleanser With Cottonseed
After removing make up, I double cleanse using this foaming cleaner. This is a must for me to assure there’s no residue left on my skin.
3 – Gentle Renewing Brightening Peel
Exfoliation in toner way! It’s a scrub-like but in liquid form. It’s more gluey than toner though. I use this before mask so that the mask will absorb in more efficiently.
4a / 4b / 4c – Pure and Radiant Mask With Pink Clay / HydraQuench Cream Mask / Intensive Clear Mask
I’m rotating 3 types of masks daily. It used to be Mon, Wed, Fri for Pure and Radiant Mask. Tue, Thu, Sat for HydraQuench Cream Mask. Sunday used to be “holiday” for my skin. Now it’s whitening mask day.
5 – Defining Eye Lift
Same routine with day regime.
6 – Eye Contour Balm
Same routine with day regime.
7 – Lotus Face Treatment Oil + Toning Lotion With Iris
Unlike the usual “toner on cotton pad” routine, I poured some toner on my palm and add 2 drop of Lotus Face Treatment Oil, warm it and pat onto my face and neck. I’m loving what the treatment oil do to my face. My skin condition is much much better now. The effect is something like what SK-II users is experiencing. Face is not as oily as previous during day time too. Once I finished this sample, I’m gonna purchase a full size product.
8 – All Spots Whitening Corrector
Same routine with day regime.
9 – Shaping Facial Lift
Same routine with day regime.
10 – HydraQuench Intensive Serum Bi-Phase
I remembered I wanted to buy this so much but expensive so the BA gave me a 3ml sample to try and I purchase the full size after finishing the sample. This is the improvised formula, packaging and scent version which is less oilier. I just love the smell and it’s not oily at all although it does look like one of the layer is oil. Sometimes I use this in the morning too but very rarely. I still have 4 bottles of 15ml in my stash :).
11 – Pore Minimizing Serum
Same routine with day regime.
12 – Multi-Active Night Youth Recovery Cream
Tried the 15ml trial size and bought the full size after finished the tube. I admit I bought this because of the “Youth Recovery” name at the beginning. I wanna look youthful when I woke up in the morning LOL! It does work in a way. Just don’t expect to look 10 years younger ok? One of the best night cream I ever used.
13 – Foot Beauty Treatment Cream
This is not for face. Something extra for my foot! I have skin disease from young. Every year the skin problem is at different areas. Currently it’s on my sole. Painful to walk on. I gave mum a 8ml sample before so I applied on my sole to sleep. It works. Next morning skin is smooth. This is a 30ml trial size gift from my recent haul. Hope I can get more from the counter lol.
Does my daily regime sound complicated? My friends and even mum said it’s complicated. But I love every single step of applying skin care day and night. The only troublesome thing that I find is the applying method. Currently I’m into body care as well. I redeemed a set of body care recently using my points. Now I’m figuring out which is which first. It gets a bit complicated with body care in the picture lol. Faint.

MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
How many of you are like me, looking around the changing room to find suspicious item and can’t help but to wonder IF the mirror inside the changing room is a 2-way mirror (they can see you, but you can’t see them) like those we seen from police station’s interrogation room?
There have been many cases of people installing 2-way mirrors in female changing rooms or bathroom or bedrooms. It is very difficult to positively identify the surface by just looking at it. So, how do we determine with any amount of certainty what type of mirror we are looking at? Here’s some useful info which I found online on how to detect a 2-way mirror with fingernail test.
Try using this simple test:
Place the tip of your fingernail against the reflective surface and if your fingernail DIRECTLY TOUCHES the image of your nail, then it is a GENUINE mirror. However if there is a GAP between your fingernail and the image of the nail, then BEWARE, IT IS A 2-WAY MIRROR! (There is someone seeing you from the other side).
So remember, every time you see a mirror, do the “fingernail test.” It does not cost you anything. It is simple to do. This is a good thing to do.
The reason there is a gap on a real mirror, is that the silver is on the back of the mirror UNDER the glass. Whereas with a two-way mirror, the silver is on the Surface.
Watch this video if you are still unsure how to do the fingernail test.
If you remember that I was molested at Mid Valley some time ago, I shared my stories with all the girl friends I know and one of my close client friend shared with me her friend’s story. It was way more worse than what I had been through.
My close client’s friend was at the same stairs as mine and she was pushed to the wall, her breast was grabbed and the molester ran away with her bag! It must be the same gang or guy as this incident happen just a few weeks before mine.
Then my friend said the poor girl shared her story with her cousin and guess what? She been through a rough incident too.
She (the cousin) went for a midnight movie with her bf. After the movie, both went to the car park to pick up their car. Two men knock the bf to unconscious from behind and then they use chloroform to the girl. Upon inhaling chloroform the girl fainted and she was dragged to the side and both of them start stripping the girl half naked. Just when one of the man was about to rape her, the bf gain conscious and he started shouting for help. Luckily there’s a few people walking towards the car park at that time and the kind people helped in catching the bad guys.
Why haven’t we read about this on the paper? Was it covered from the press? After all Mid Valley is a famous shopping destination and I’m not surprise if the management is working hard to prevent this incident spreading like wildfire to the public. After hearing all this I’m not feeling a bit safe going shopping alone or even with a bf on the tow. What is happening to the society nowadays?
