6 Pieces Sonia Kashuk Essential Eye Kit with Case

Posted in Beauty | 0 comments

I’ve decided to give learning to put makeup a try. I think I could do it, if I try hard enough and not be lazy. I’m not about to put on makeup everyday because that is simply not me. I think its just handy for a lady to know how put on a bit of makeup.

At least for me I don’t need to rush to a salon or a makeup artist when I’m attending some formal event and I don’t have to be in a hurry always. I could just do it myself. Saves time and I kinda fancy experimenting with different looks and colors.

Anyway, typical of me, I found myself surf shopping for some makeup tools and accessories and this one drew my eye – Sonia Kashuk Essential Eye Kit with Case, 6 pieces brush set from Target only $9.99.

Some might say – duh? its from Target it might be a cheapo thing. But considering the good price and reading reviews plus having these pieces named by iNStyle as Beauty Best Buys for 2009 and 2010, well I should say it really has the makings of a good buy..

Skin Care Products I Want To Try..

Posted in Beauty, Beauty Product Spotlight | 0 comments

I love skin care products but I am also very very picky. I don’t like going to facials but I do take care of my skin. I only use mild, unscented skin care products coz I usually have adverse reactions to those heavily perfumed ones. I think being picky with the products I use has given me good rewards. I’m happy that I have clear skin (though a bit oily haha) and I only get occasional mild acne and breakouts.

I’ve been looking out for products that I want to try that would fit me and these items looks really interesting..

Moisturizers with SPF

Philosophy Hope in a Jar SPF 25 – moisturizer and sun protector for all skin types. $45 @ Skinstore.

alternatively, here’s another moisturizer – Bobbi Brown Extra SPF 25 Moisturizing Balm – $85 @ Sephora.

Anti-Stress:

Bionova Anti-Stress Care for Normal Skin – $90 from Barney’s New York. Protects the skin from environmental damages through re-establishment of the skin natural barrier with especially developed nanocomplex of Skin Barrier System.

Toner:

Borghese Crema Straordinaria Creme Extraordinaire Balancing Softening Toner for All Skin Types – $35.50 @ Skinstore.

Anti-Acne:

Clinique Acne Solutions Clear Skin System Kit – $32.50 @ BergdorfGoodman.

And here’s a skin care line I’m seriously drawn to – Skyn Iceland, Solutions for Stressed Skin. Find all these at Sephora.

It’s the first skincare line specifically formulated to combat the detrimental effects of chronic “wigging-out” in your over-worked complexion. After exploring Iceland’s pure, untouched environment, the geniuses at Skyn Iceland discovered beneficial new botanicals and pristine glacial waters that would become their perfect antidote for stressed skin. The result is a skincare line that’s simple, yet effective; just the breath of fresh air exhausted skin needs to render it soft, clear, fresh, and glowing.
