The best Mother's Day gift

Mother's Day is coming up, and it's time for us to think of a way to thank them, and what's better than bringing them back their youth? Here, take a look at this Biotherm Lift Instant Flash (Filling Vials Lift and Instant Radiance) which I just tried out.

The vials and the tip in the middle.
                        1. The vial.                 2. After shaking, break open the vial.
            3. Put the tip halfway down the vial.    4. Shake it once, and the content is out.
5. Squeeze the tip, so the content flow into your palm. 6. After it's all out.

When I broke it open, I was a bit nervous, it's the first time I used this kind of product, I was worried that the glass would broke into a mess. :P But it's all fine, you just have to apply a bit more strength (and braveness) to break it.

The content is certainly more than enough for the whole face, so I applied the excess to the neck as well, you know, that's where the visible wrinkles are! And in order to not waste any of it, I kept hitting the bottle against my palm to get everything out, and applied them to the back of my hands as well. :)

The smell is nice and natural, not too strong, and the face felt as if you have applied a film of egg white on the face, it's tightened. The feeling slowly went away after 15 mins. As magical as it sounds, the wrinkles on the face seemed to be ironed out.

It feels great! And it's cheap, USD38 for a pack of 8. A nice and ideal gift for mums this Mother's Day. Buy now!

Bioderma Hand Cream from France

Before I talked about the Sephora eyeliner, I'd like to talk about this Bioderma Atoderm Hand Cream I found in a local french pharmacy near metro station Place Monge.


The whole shop isn't the most organised, but the products they provide are of wide-range, and most importantly, they are cheap! Although I didn't buy many things there because I didn't want to carry them back, I managed to find this Bioderma Atoderm Hand Cream (50ml), which was only 1.49 Euro! And the size is handbag-friendly, with the dry weather in France, it's perfect for replenishing my dry hands.


Since the line Atoderm is for very dry sensitive skin, I expected it to be quite thick and oily, but to my surprise, it's fairly thin and non-sticky (maybe it's because of the dry weather? Not sure.). Anyway, it's not as long-lasting as I thought it would be, but it's good enough for SOS dry hand situation. It doesn't have a smell to it, so I guess it's more natural which is good.

I was happy to be able to find cheap things in Paris! :D
