My skincare round-up at The Face Shop

by Penny on October 13, 2008

I’ve been a loyal user of Clarins for some time now but recently I’ve had a change of heart. I’m now into Korean skincare products. I started with using just some sunscreen products by Skinfood but now I’ve made a big switch to almost a complete range of skincare products from The Face Shop. Here’s [...]

I recently have become quite a Body Shop fan in terms of their skincare range. I was hunting for a facial scrub and ended up with Body Shop’s Seaweed Pore-Cleansing Facial Exfoliator. I was contemplating between this and the Tea Tree Oil Facial Exfoliator. I found the latter’s microbeads to be a little too fine [...]

Unexpected buys at Loreal Warehouse sales

by Penny on September 27, 2008

Yesterday Loreal had a one day only warehouse sale at Wisma MCA in KL town. I wasn’t planning to go because from the flyers that were given out, I saw mostly cosmetic brands only and since I don’t use make-up, what could I possible buy, right?
But since my colleague wanted to go, I tagged along [...]

Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture Serum

by Penny on September 21, 2008

About a month ago I wrote about the little that I know of on the difference between a facial serum and an essence. I paid a visit to a Body Shop outlet not long after and decided to get a moisture serum, so that meant my choice was narrowed down to the Vitamin E Moisture Serum.

Nivea Lip Care – Repair & Protection

by Penny on September 11, 2008

This review was originally posted in my old blog, Shop Till I Drop and is now re-posted here.
 

I have rather sensitive lips, so whenever I’ve had too much spicy food, the first clue to give me away would be my reddened or chapped lips. As such, I always need to carry around a chapstick to help moisturize [...]

Call me a cheap, but I’m always excited about receiving freebies. It doesn’t matter that sometimes the freebies aren’t exactly my cup of tea, I will still happily accept them because I can then pass it on to whoever finds it useful. One woman’s poison is another woman’s meat.
Recently I went hunting for a moisturiser. [...]

More than a month ago, I wrote about Eucerin’s Pigmentation Regulating Fluid (read the post here) and promised to review the product after using it for 4 weeks and 8 weeks respectively, because the results are supposedly to show after using it for these periods of time.
It’s now about 5 weeks since I started using [...]

by Penny on September 2, 2008

I needed something to help with my bruised and scraped skin on my arm. I popped into Guardian, looking for some kind of remedy. As I browsed through the shelves, a sales assistant asked what I needed and I showed her my wound and explained I needed something for it.
She led me across the shelves [...]

One of the more effective shampoos for dandruff is the Selsun Blue shampoo. I used to have dandruff problem and nothing really worked until I tried Selsun Blue. It is not meant for use as a regular shampoo, so I only used it sparingly on occassions while I used normal shampoo for daily wash.

My acne remedy

by Penny on August 17, 2008

I am quite blessed in a sense that I don’t often get breakouts, not even during times of hormone imbalance. Well, at least that’s how I feel. I notice that I am more prone to acne when my hair is at a length where the ends brush against my face a lot and I tend [...]

I don’t know the difference between a serum and an essence even though I’ve used both products for some time now. I only know that I use them only one at a time, it’s either a serum or an essence.
My hydrating serum is finishing and I’m shopping for a new one. I thought of changing [...]

by Penny on August 11, 2008

Natio is an Australian skincare brand. I’ve never heard of it until a friend whose relative works for the local distribution company recommended a specific product. The Natio YOUNG Pore Unclogging Face Scrub was lying in my bathroom for months untouched. Then recently I decided to give it a try when I ran out of [...]
