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.

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.

Pretty Wedding Favor Ideas..

Posted in Gift Ideas | 0 comments

No, I’m not getting married. LOL! I am married already, but I know some who are about to be married. And as they say June is the month for weddings so I’ve been cruising around different websites looking for some wedding favors that one of my friends who is getting married might like..I’m also pretty sure there are some ladies out there who are planning weddings who would really like to see some pretty picks among the wedding favors available on line.

I just wonder now why when I had my own wedding I didn’t bother checking online for wedding favors! There’s seriously a lot of pretty, unique and not to mention very affordable wedding favors. Huh!? I must have been a nervous wreck during that time juggling too many things to think of that.. :)
