Day or night?

Was talking about the power of sunshine with 2 friends just now.

After spending some time reminiscing our discussion, I remember that I used to stay up very late at night, either studying or reading interesting things. I used to like nighttime more than daytime. I like the quietness, the sweet loneliness, the freedom...I like the sparkling stars at night, which are so beautiful. The feeling of swimming in a night-time sea is simply exciting.



That was when I was still young.

I have long forgotten that I actually liked nighttime. Because now I only want to kill people if I cannot go to bed. I really look like trash if I do not have 8-hour sleep. Plus I don't see any stars here in HK no matter how late I stay up every night.

Having said so, I still like nighttime. I will try to enjoy some quality nighttime in the coming 2 days....

Oh my! Bonne affaire!!

《A.H.C C15 Whitening Serum 》

Aren't Korean actresses "hooo leng" (pretty)?

Their flawless skin makes me wonder whether it is kimchi or Suwhasoo that makes them so pretty. I have been eating a lot of kimchi, but doesn't seem to do the trick. And I cannot afford Suwhasoo until I find a rich husband.

But, thanks Colourmix for sending me 3 trial samples of this whitening serum made in Korea :)



Although they are not much, I transfered all 3 packets into a tiny bottle which lasted me 2 weeks (note I only used 2 drops on my cheeks every night)



The main Ingredients of this serum are:- Ascorbic Acid(15%), Chitosan, Methyl Paraben. It is specially designed to brighten sensitive skin. I only used the serum on the pigmented spots on my cheeks because I am not particularly fond of fair skin. It is said that the highly concentrated and stabilized vitamin C extracted from bio polymers in the serum can penetrate directly into skin, leaving skin even-toned and luminescent. The formular of this product is also said to be very mild which treats even the most sensitive skin without irritation.

After using it for 2 weeks, I can definitely say my spots look a lot lighter. The serum is not greasy at all. In fact, it is quite watery. It doesn't irritate my eczema-prone skin. So girls who have sensitive skin and are looking for whitening products can definitely give this a try.

Here is a photo of the product size which can be purchased at Colourmix. I am not too sure about the price, but I guess is around HK$300. Try it out!



Oh my! Bonne Affaire!!

I have found the best toner, have you?



AROMATIC LINDER WATER

An excellent toner for moisturising sensitive and delicate skin. It is super mild and does not contain alcohol.

I apply this toner w/o cotton pads, but by using my palm to press the toner into my skin! Ho effective ga :)

You can also pamper yourself by soaking a dry paper mask with a substantial amount of the toner and leave it on your face for 10 mins. It will reduce redness substantially. It also claims to reduce the unsightly appearance of bags under the eyes.

Check this brand out at http://www.erbolario.com/int/index.php?id=23.

I bought mine in Wing On at around HK$220. A bottle will last 3 mths for me.

Oh my! Bonne Affaire!!

Superb nail polish!!

So tired. I just came back from a whole-day training. Worse than working in office! Today I wear pink nail polish and lipstick which I want to share with you all!

First of all, thanks Sasa for letting me try their Sasatinnie Nail Polish (P717 Rose). Their handwritten note together with the nail sticker are simply so sweet. This high standard of service is to be appreciated!



This nail polish is superb. I love the shade - sweet pink, a bright and fun colour that matches my spring clothes very well. As my dear fds would know, i love white colour, from my pearl earrings to necklace, everything white. I think it is a nice colour on all girls!



My steps are:- first, I gently use a toothbrush to clean my nails, then apply a transparent base before using the Sasatinnie Nail Paint. After my nails are dry, I rub my hand with coconut oil! The colour of this nail polish is super strong, as you can see from the photo, I only applied one layer. The texture of the polish is not thick at all, but easily manageable as it glides on your nails very smoothly. It doesn't create lawyers nor bubbles your nail and it lasts for a long time. The size of the brush is just right! I am very satisfied with this product.

There are 10 shades for you to choose from, must check them out at http://sasahongkong.wordpress.com/2011/04/04/sasatinnie%E6%9C%80%E5%8F%97%E6%AD%A1%E8%BF%8E%E7%BE%8E%E7%94%B2%E5%BD%A9%E5%A6%9D%E6%8A%95%E7%A5%A8%E6%B4%BB%E5%8B%95/. I'm definitely picking up a few more shades at Sasa over this weekend.

Another product I would also like to share here is my new favourite lipstick - Chanel Rouge Coco Shine Lipstick - colour 'Boy'. This is just sooooo natural and compliments my lip colour very well. This lipstick is not heavy at all, but more like a non-greasy lip balm. A must-have for this spring/summer!!


(Skin Ceuticals SPF30 Sunblock; Dazzle Dust Eyeshadow by BarryM; Media Pink Blush; Chanel Rouge Coco Shine Boy Lipstick)

Hope you guys like it.

Oh my! Bonne affaire!!

Kanebo - Media

This newly discovered product really deserves a post in my blog.

It is a blush by one of the Kanebo's lines - Media, which was officially brought to HK by SaSa. I bought PK-1 (pink), just HK$49.



I seldom buy blush since I am very satisfied with my Muji and Bobbi Brown blushes. I always wanted to buy Torrid by Nars, but it costs like $240! I'm not saying this is expensive, but after-all, this is just a blush, I rather spend the $ on another Bicelle serum (see my earlier post on the SCA serum)!! :)

So you guys should try out this blush when you visit Sasa next time - super super soft and pigmented. The texture is really silky, so silky that you can even apply with your fingers...honestly, with this price, i think this blush is really fantastic. I can say it is even better than Shu Uemura.

Promise me, must check this out!

Oh my! Bonne affaire!!

SOFINA Whitening Products 2011

So 2 weeks have passed and I want to share with you my feelings on the two whitening products I received when attending the workshop last month.



1. The whitening serum (2nd from the right)
2. The whitening stick (1st from the right)

For the past 2 weeks, I applied both the serum and the stick onto my cheek bone, outer corners of my eyes, chin and neck, day and night. I avoid other areas on purpose since I really want to test out the whitening effect both products give. :) I particularly apply more of the products on the outer corners of my eyes since they are quite dark.

What I love about these products is that they are non-greasy and they don't break me out. It is absorbed by the skin fairly quickly. (Sofina really does great oil controlling products. For people who have oily skin, I highly recommend them to try out their products.) Since I have extremely dry skin, using them alone is not hydrating enough, so I have to use my usual day and night cream (right now, I'm using Uriage Xemose Cream).

Here are my BEFORE and AFTER photos. I took the BEFORE photo when I was at the workshop. The AFTER photo was taken tonight right after I finished showering.

BEFORE:-


AFTER:-


I have to say that I noticed that the freckles on my cheek bone have faded quite a bit after only using the products for 2 weeks. The overall skin tone is more even and there is less redness on my face. I am going to continue using both products for at least 2 more weeks and will update you guys soon!

Oh my!! Bonne affaire!!

Bicelle Cell Repair Serum SCA 15

Mei Lui and Big Eyes...I'm telling you to get this product this weekend if you see this post.



Not kidding. Ho ging. Ng duc....you guys really need to get it. It repairs all defects on your face. ALL!

My stubborn eczema near my mouth is also liking this serum. I have only used this for 2 days but can already see the power of this product. It is said the SCA15 contains Vitamins C & E that help your skin repair. Actually I think this serum contains the saliva of a snail....I'm not too much bothered by this....since it is working on my skin!

Make sure you guys try it!!! Ho HOOOO ging!!

Oh my! Bonne affaire!!
