Himalaya Herbals Purifying Neem Face Wash

by Penny on February 24, 2009

Some two weeks ago, I started breaking out for no reason. I don’t often breakout, and when I do, it’s normally just one big zit on the face. However, this time, I had 3 ugly red zits, one on my cheek, one just under my eye bag and one on my forehead. It was really [...]

The world’s first sunscreen soap

by Penny on February 20, 2009

For those who are always in a hurry and have no time to spare to apply sunscreen lotion before heading out, you can now still get sun protection without wearing that sunscreen lotion. Just use a sunscreen soap when you shower to do the job!
Slated to be the world’s first sunscreen soap, the Bethesda Sunscreen Soap [...]

A review of Body Shop’s Vitamin C Skin Boost

by Penny on February 7, 2009

I’ve read many glowing reviews of the Body Shop’s Vitamin C Skin Boost from beauty blogs, and even had a friend recommend it to me. I bought it for my mum to try and she confirmed that it showed some positive results on her just shortly after using it. I felt rather convinced that this product works [...]

We discovered that our little boy has minor eczema just a month after he was born. To help keep his eczema at bay, we have tried many ways to protect his sensitive skin and a few effective solutions include the use of a medicated cream called Elomet, and a daily shower oil for babies called [...]

Anyone using FANCL skincare products?

by Penny on January 2, 2009

I came across this brand called FANCL in Singapore, offering skincare, makeup, supplements and nutritional products. I notice that the focus tends to be in their skincare and makeup products rather than the latter two. FANCL counters can be found throughout Singapore’s malls and I’ve seen enough to create curiousity in me.
I picked up a brochure [...]

The Body Shop Vitamin C Eye Reviver

by Penny on November 20, 2008

I ran out of eye creams and I’ve wanted to try something new. I was contemplating between Benefit’s Eyecon and the Body Shop Vitamin C Eye Reviver for a couple of weeks. I finally decided to go with the Vitamin C Eye Reviver because I’ve read so many great reviews about the Vitamin C Skin [...]

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.
This [...]

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 [...]
