Are you like me, hauling everything you see or read because it intrigues you? Seeing a good deal online *cough Luxola cough* that you just couldn’t resist? Or are you buying backups of your favourite just in case the brand decided to discontinue it one day? Guilty, guilty and guilty of that 😀
Today I’m going to share with you how I used up my beauty stash, not just using it up but getting through it on a faster rate. This is not something new. It’s just that we sometimes forget about the simplest way and that is using it. It is so easy that anyone can do it at home.
Interestingly, when I attended one beauty sharing session last year, one of the attendee said that her face oils up very fast. She commented that every time after she wash her face, not even half an hour later she can feel a layer of sebum forming and that irks her a lot. I think what this girl experienced is pretty normal even for normal skin, unless you are the one that stays in air-conditioned room 24/7. Perhaps what this girl need is the new Oxy Oil Control Charcoal Face Wash.
Oil Control Charcoal Face Wash is Oxy’s latest family member that is formulated with Pharmaceutical Grade Charcoal from Japan. Charcoal have always remain as the biggest mystery and it has been an unsung hero, until of late. It is now widely known for it’s various benefits especially in the beauty industry. The charcoal added will act as an effective agent to clean pores, absorb excess oil as well as to purify skin so that skin will stay clear and shine-free. The same activated charcoal ingredient also act as a magnet on the skin to suck, capture and lift all the dirt, impurities from environmental pollution and excess oil.
If I can name one brand that genuinely care about which product that suit user’s need, that would be TNS Skin Lab. What’s so awesome about this leading specialist retailer of premium natural and organic beauty & personal care products in Malaysia is that instead of just sending me any hair care product to try, the wonderful people over at TNS Skin Lab sent me an email prior to check on my hair type and concern. Boy oh boy. My hair condition was so out of the world that I’m not sure if they can pull it through! You know what? They did. My hair loves it, my scalp says thank you and now here’s my review 😀
My tricky hair and scalp condition before using A’kin was…get ready for it…here we go…sensitive flaky scalp, redness, itchiness, dry but oily by noon the next day and seasonal dandruff. Phew! That was quite a mouthful. The product I was recommended for my “tricky” condition is A’kin Unscented Very Gentle Shampoo and Lavender & Anthyliss Leave-in Conditioner.
Let’s start by sequence from the shampoo to the conditioner shall we?
HUGO BOSS Parfums recently announced actor Gerard Butler as the latest brand ambassador for it’s BOSS BOTTLED fragrance. Butler will join an exclusive circle of BOSS Parfums ambassadors and he will appear exclusively in a new TV and print advertising campaign. Butler is chosen as he is a man that embodies modern masculinity in the 21st century. That makes him the perfect choice to represent BOSS BOTTLED.
A gifted actor with striking charm and humour, Gerard Butler has impressed audiences in roles that cover all ends of the spectrum. Butler recently wrapped production on GODS OF EGYPT, opposite Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. The film, directed by Alex Proyas, is set to release in February 2016. Butler can currently be heard reprising his role “Stoick” in DreamWorks’ HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2. Adding further credits to his bow, Butler currently producing THE SEPTEMBERS OF SHIRAZ, which is in production in Bulgaria. The actor is furthermore in pre-production on several films, including LONDON HAS FALLEN, the sequel to Antoine Fuqua’s film OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN and GEOSTORM for Warner Bros.
I’m in a state where I’m obsessed with a few beauty products at the moment. You will see the pattern in the next coming reviews but let me just start with one obsession today – under eye treatment.
Although I don’t have signs of aging on my face *touch wood*, I do have ONE that has been bothering me for years. That is the nasty long fine lines on my under eye. I just hate it when no eye cream can keep my under eye properly hydrated to minimize fine lines appearance and I absolutely hate it when my powder and concealer crease on the fine lines. So I thought of a solution to use under eye treatment mask every morning before makeup. I’m testing out a few different eye mask at the moment. My current favourite (as of today, can’t say about tomorrow) is Purederm Anti-Wrinkle Gel Patches.
When it comes to under eye mask treatment, I am willing to go all the way. I don’t mind spending a bit as long as it works. I tried searching in Sephora but to no avail. One place I knew that would have under eye mask is Watsons. I was right. The varieties of under eye mask there is amazing. I settled with Purederm Anti-Wrinkle Gel Patches in the end because (1) Purederm is one of my favourite brand, (2) it’s cheaper, (3) I haven’t heard of the rest before and (4) it has “best selling anti-wrinkle patch” printed on. Yeah I know…I fell for claims on the box LOL.
