Flake Away & Reveal Buttery Smooth Skin!!

I just came out of the shower and tried a new scrub.... it smells SOooo
Buttery, like freshly baked shortbread...
Yet it has these apricot and sugar granules to scrub-a-dub-dub your skin
so that it will be SUPER DUPER moisturised...
like having a layer of shea butter body milk on
even after your shower!!!


I have tried quite a fair number of scrubs
and if you like those that have fairly rough and big bits
of good stuff inside to clean your pores...
remove the layer of old dead skin cells
and reveal radiant smooth au natural skin
then SOAP & GLORY'S selection
will not let you down.


This brand, along with St Ives (another post)
will certainly leave you SHIOK skin!!
Just that St Ives offers fresh soft clean skin,
this one by S&G offers buttery soft skin
depending on what you prefer
SEE the texture below...



Today, I am grateful that this product is 2-in-1
I am going to bed without slattering on moistuiser all over
I am gonna try my own Cheat Sheet...
the buttery feel left on my skin
should solve the air-conditioning issue tonight.


I will check in with you in the morning dolls!
Hopefully, some fabulously firm skin will be mine!!
See ya and Good night!

RATING: 4/5 STARS
EASE OF USE: Take a handful, mix with a bit of water,
slap on all over body focusing on elbows, thighs, calves, neck,
shoulders, butt and tummy.
WOULD I BUY THIS AGAIN: Yes, from Sephora costing only $12:90 (SALE $9:90)

Ok, so I tried this scrub for 2 days straight,
did not apply body moisturiser to bed
and concluded that although skin is soft,
I prefer to lap on the body moisturiser
before bed, it gives me dewy & glowy skin
which I prefer!

What I Use On A Daily Basis - Revlon Waterproof Eyeliner Auto Pencil

Hello People...
As I muster the strength for one last thinking thing of the day
before I KO due to my mountain of medication
(yes, I am still sick and I don't feel pretty.. )

Thought I share with you on what I use on a daily basis...

REVLON...
Sounds old? ? ?
Yeah, I thought so too when I first tried it
I was skeptical
but even the skeptic in me was surprised,
in a good way
by how easy it was to handle the product
and you need not even sharpen the baby!


All you need to do is turn it,
so that the amount you need surfaces
and just line the top of your lashes with this
as it has kohl in it, lining your eyelids is a breeze,
plus it is waterproof
and it gives me enough intensity
and it's cheap, I usually buy mine
during sale, at $13.90 per stick
and each stick lasts 2.5 to 3 months
depending on the thickness that I draw
everyday.


See above, that's the amount used for both eyes if you draw thick lines
if not, it is lesser.

And I love how any normal eye makeup remover will get rid of it
in one swipe.

So yeah, I will use this everyday, esp more so now that I am sick,
it sorts of acts as a cover for the red / dying / dark circles that
came along with this virus.... I mean, how to sleep well when
the cough can awaken you from your sleep, right?

Hope you will love this baby as much as I do.

Rating: 5/5
Will I buy this again: What's there not to love... of cos!
Ease of Use: Its like colouring, take pencil and draw.

Relaxing Lavender as Purifiying Hand Gel??

Hello Gorgeous People...
Hope your weekend went Wayyyy better than mine.
I spent mine mostly in bed with friends like Cough, Flu and Sore Throat
accompanying me, which is so pathetic,
but it was marching orders given by my hubs, so no choice.

Anyways, this period saw me using a fair bit more than the
usual hand sanitizer...
you know, those we all started to go crazy about
after the spread of the crazy H1N1 virus
a couple of years back?? Remember?

So I always keep a bottle with me,
in the office, in my handbag...
and ensure that if I did not have access to
soap and clean water to wash my hands,
the sanitizer is going to do the job!

So... I am in pursuit of good hand gels / sanitizers,
one that really kills 99.999999999% of germs
and MOISTURISES my hands...
mind you, that wrinkles form the fastest on hands and neck
so we really Must take extra care of these areas.

I used to like another brand
that had the above 2 functions
BUT I recently fell in love with this...

Yup!
This one is from Provence France,
I expected to pay a lot for it, like more than $20
but ended up, the price was $14 only.

I know, some of you are like...
"You siao ah, $14 still say ONLY!"

BUT hang on,
let me tell you why,
if you work in an air-conditioned environment,
like most of us do, and we all know that hand sanitizers
only need a drop,
so a little goes a long way...
PLUS, this has relaxing LAVANDER scent in it
totally moisturises your hands
and leaves a delicate scent that soothes
unlike the stinky and dry type of hand gels around.

I am still on my first bottle.
And Xmas is round the corner,
L'Occitane does have sale...
so pick one up for yourself or your loved ones.
Spare them the usual stink the usual hand gels have,
show a little more generousity!

p/S: it is transparent & absorbs way faster than any other gels I used.

Rating: 5/5
Will I Buy it Again: Yes
Ease of Use: Easy.
