A great moisture mask for autumn

I have been searching for a good moisture mask for a while, nothing really suits my taste, it's either to watery, or too moisturising. Until I found this Dermalogica - Intensive Moisture Masque, it's white in colour, a nice texture (I hate the soft-turned-hard ones which would make you unable to talk), easy to apply. And just 10 mins, then rinse with water. My skin feels supple, but not too overly supple, it could also be applied to neck which is an area many women forget to take care of (it could reveal your age!!).


The description:

A creamy, moisture-replenishing masque that provides vital nourishment for ultra-dry skin. Skin-conditioning Evening Primrose Oil and antioxidant Vitamin E restore skin's softness and suppleness. Revitalizing plant extracts, Honey and Vitamins A and C bind moisture to the skin, helping to alleviate fine lines and visible dryness. Contains no artificial fragrance or color.


The usage:

Apply generously to cleaned face and throat. Allow masque to set for 10 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. Use masque once or twice a week as needed. Follow with a moisturizer.


This is a great treat for your face, use it twice a week to make it brighter.


I wonder if it would really be better to match a Dermalogica moisturizer with it...should I or should I not?

Online shopping saves money

Last week I was visiting the beauty blog I always go to as usual, I was shocked when I saw the post by that blogger which read sth like "I would be posting much less often as usual since the global economy crisis is really severe and I won't complain even though I have to work 16 hrs every day. It's already better than many people who lost their jobs..." It striked me because it feels like it's really hitting every tiny corner of the world, and this makes me even more incline to go shopping online. It's good because I don't have to go out which saves transportation cost, and the things I buy could arrive right at my doorstep. I don't have to be bugged by sales people. It saves a lot of hassle.

Under this kind of economic situation, everyone is trying to save a penny whenever they could, so are you going to go out less and shop more online? Or would you still go out but do more window shopping? What do you think?

The real luxury

When you think of luxury, what would come to your mind?

A relaxing spa/full-body massage?

A holiday in the Caribbeans in 5-star hotel?

Or would you try this Crema Nera Obsidian Mineral Regenerating Cream? This is what I would call real luxury, "great" price, but it's worth it!

Giorgio Armani premiers Crema Nera--a unique cell regenerating cream inspired by the Italian island of Pantelleria. Containing a unique formulation of obsidian, a natural mineral compound extracted from the petrified lava on Pantelleria, Crema Nera perfectly captures the Earth's rejuvenating secrets. This exceptional, patented formula is scientifically proven to actively restore and revitalize skin's natural radiance and regenerate surface cells. The immaculate white cream helps to uncover your skin's beauty, life and youth.

• Boosts skin radiance


• Helps refine and perfect skin texture


• Nourishes and hydrates

I have read numerous blogs, reports about it, every single one gave great praises to this seemingly magical cream despite the high price. The texture is wonderful, it feels great and nourishing, it isn't expensive if it works, right?

Would you also want to try it?

This summer, I realise this is the toner I need!

I never really used toner during my skincare routine unitl I read an article early this year about the importance of it (forgot which one though :P). So I started trying out Clinique's Clarifying Lotion No.2 because of its popularity, and it really does live up to its reputation!

The first night I used it, my skin felt very smooth and clean, although the smell wasn't to good I have to say. Every time I use it, I have to hold my breath because the smell is too strong, and also I have to close my eyes for the same reason. The skin will feel a bit tingling as it says on the bottle which means it's working.

Sometimes after a whole day out on the street, even after washing with foam cleanser, I would still see a grey patch on the cotton pad with the toner! Thus, I never stop using it since, because I know my skin wants to feel refresh and clean before going to bed.

I like it, and do you?

Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong Split!

Sadness...shocking news to me

They are separated, I think they look good together...

Wish Kate will find her prince for life in the future
