My Beauty Essentials

With all those foodie posts, you bet that the biggest chunk of my expenses would has ended up inside my tummy. Well, that’s not exactly true cos’ an even bigger portion was spent on my face!

No! Definitely not plastic or cosmetic surgery or whatever it’s called. It’s more of using those expensive liquids that are said to do miracle on your skin! (Bty, my bro called those stuffs ‘chemical’)

Erm, I started off my proper beauty regime during high school when I started to have those ugly acnes popping out on my forehead. I don’t really have acne problem during my teenage age (supposingly). Dunno if it’s coincident or what, those things found me right after I came back from Cameron Highland trip. Of course I felt so depressed and anxious!

That time Clean & Clear was like the heat teenage facial wash. So I ended up using this but it doesn’t really work. I mean it did dry up the existing acnes but the scars stayed too!

Mum got even more worried with my forehead and brought me to a pharmacist. He recommended this.

Since it in bar form (usually is liquid types one ma), I dropped it N-times into the WC! After spending endless times looking helplessly at those bars in the WC, I finally get used to bar and well, of course skin recovered (duh)

Ever since, I take care of my face more than any other part of my body. LoL

I am not sure if price is equivalent to quality but I started off my first set of facial product with Dermalogica. Complete set as if with cleansing gel, toner and mosturiser.

Seriously I never really follow those steps. Apply toner and moisturizer as and when I felt like I should cos I am damn lazy. I always wonder why my aunt would take so much time applying layer after layer of skin care on her face every night and morning. (Now I understand)

I have a kinda complicated skin, that all beauticians told me – Oily on the inside but dry on the outside! WTH!! So, I got no choice but to trust them lo. Most convincing part is in fact they advertised Britney used Demalogica! LOL. I used Dermalogica and fall in love with it.

Sadly, we can never stick to the same product forever cos our skin changes as we grew. Nowadays, acne doesn’t love me as much as before and that’s good news. However if you found yourself less visited by Ms.Acne, you’ll realize that your skin get a little bit more thirsty (dryness/dehydration).

So everything I use nowadays is hydration products. I tried Shiseido hydration range and its okay. When I wanna get another set the counter guy told me that I should try the whitening instead cos my skin looks a bit dull. He claimed that Shiseido whitening products are ‘more famous’ than the hydration range. It’s the only whitening products that doesn’t dry your skin…bla bla bla..got pyscho-ed and so, I ended up with one big set! =_=!
