Your mother's favourite gifts!

For me, out of all celebrations throughout the year, Mother's Day is my favourite and for me, it's the most important. (shu....don't tell my dad :) Maybe it's because I am a woman myself so I am a bit biased, haha! Everyone should treat their mum as the most precious gift in the world, she's the super woman in your life. So, choose her a gift as a way to thank her.

Here are some of my suggestions:

For the working mum who has rougher hands:

Crabtree & Evelyn Hand Therapy Collection Gift Set

For the business mum who always has to travel:

SK-II Luxury Skincare Travel Set

For the natural mum who prefers organic products:

Pangea Organics Skincare Discovery Kit (Normal to Dry Skin)

For younger mum who is young on the look and at heart:

Laneige Water Bank Set - Light (For Normal to Combination Skin)

O'slee C-Shape Eye Mask (Video)

Age really leaves traces at the eyes, there's no doubt about it. Wrinkles, fine lines, dark circles, eye bags...they are the number one signs of aging. Thus, other than facial masks, eye masks are also very important.

Recently, I have tried out O'slee Clear Spa Complete C-Shape Eye Mask, what I like most about it is the C-Shape, for many eye masks, they only take care of the bottom eye bag area, but the problem is, wrinkles don't just appear underneath, they will also appear on the eye lids! That's why this is a perfect eye mask, it fits so well, and it really replenishes moisture to the skins, and you will see wrinkles becoming more refined after about using 5 pairs.

Have a look at my video using the eye mask:

Just 10-15 mins, you will see the difference.

Kick away the dead skin in no time!

I don’t know about you, but the skin between my eyebrows gathers dead skin very easily. The solution I used to use was to go to the facial salon to get rid of it, but it’s both time-consuming and pricey, however, (I thought) I had no choice.

Until I found this gel a month ago!

For Beloved One Melasleep Whitening Exfoliating Gel

It’s easy to use and very effective! All you have to do is:

1. Cleanse your skin, and then dry it.
2. Then apply the gel on the face, I normally do the whole face, but rub much harder on the “serious” areas. You will feel crumbs forming very quickly, and that’s the dead skin rubbed off.
3. Rinse face with warm water.
4. Immediately, you will feel the skin smoothened and brightened.

* One advice though, DON'T rub other normal areas so hard to avoid thinning the skin because I did it to my cheeks one time (I thought it’s good to cleanse the skin L), and I could immediately feel it’s more sensitive to the cream applied afterwards (NO JOKE! Try it yourself if you don’t believe me).
Sounds magical? It is! If you experience the same problem, get this gel now!

Must have: Clinique Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm

Recently, I have switched my whole skincare routine to Clinique, for about a month now. And the products have been great, but one particular product out of all I really have to share with you all!

Clinique Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm

The texture is like lip balm, and no water is needed at the time of application, remember to apply it on a dry face. Start with your cheeks, when you rub it, it will become oil-like. Keep rubbing to your nose, then your chin, then forehead.

The great thing about this balm is that it could be used to cleanse lipstick and eye makeup! How amazing! But I always leave the lip and eye at last so the colour won't smear other parts of you face that much. When the eye makeup is really thick, although it's normally enough with one time cleansing with the balm, I would apply again on only around the eye area to make sure all makeup is gone.

How to cleanse it?
Just use warm water to thoroughly wash off the balm like other facial cleansing foam. Then the skin will feel supple and clean. Follow by daily skincare routine afterwards.

And you don't need to apply much every time, so that's why I have been using it for about a month now, and I have only scratched the surface of it!

Try it yourself, this is really THE product to have! :D
