:laugh: woman can spend a lot on her face.
and as i aged, i am spending more money buying these facial products now compared to when i am young.
While one is young, the skin is always radiant and soft, thus we tend to ignore caring for them. :p
so, my most recent haul are,,,, :laugh:
olay eye lifting serum
http://i14.ebayimg.com/03/i/04/fc/27/6f_1_b.JPG
cost about RM 40 ++... not bad...
i was getting more black circles around the eyes due to late nite online and working late. So, thought its good to give this product a try.
The next morning, it do feels good. As i felt the eyes look somewhat brighter and fresher.. no more dull... or maybe i am believing myself too much. :laugh:
the next one...
olay regenerist night cream
http://www.yourmenopause.com/Olay_Night_Cream.gif
This one boasted on giving the face a recovery throughout the night process.
And it really feels marvelous the next day. Its not so oily compare to the total effect.
Overall, it feels good the next morning after. haha.. maybe i should give a proper account after one week of using them. ;)
but i love these two new products.

I hve been considering the ulay range for a while... hehe.. but I havent finished my prairie and kose products, so got to wait.
For a while, I thot tt expensive products work better. Interetingly, I picked up a book about skin care by a hollywood dermatologist... from wat I read, it appears tt not necessary tt more expensive products work better.
His recommendation? Try using the inexpensive products first..

my most recent purchase... something new from Maybelline.
Foundations - Maybelline Dream mousse matt foundations
http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/img/01-06/0123brmaybelline.jpg
When i first started using foundations, i used those liquids foundations in a bottles.
And later, i started using those 2 way foundation powder.
this is my most recent purchase... it seems to be sticky initially. But after applying them on the face, it doesnt feel oily or sticky at all. :D
which is great... i just love this.
hmm.. this one cost me about RM49.90 i think.. or was it RM 42.90 ? :p
Maybelline dream mousse - blush
http://b-review.exteen.com/images/Maybelline/MaybellineDreamM.jpg

The Skin Action Sebum Gel by Cellnique is a phyto bio-engineering formulation gel for all skin types to clear both blackheads and whiteheads on affected skin area without painful extraction. This daily maintenance gel also slows down oil secretion leaving skin clear and producing smooth visible results in 10 PAIN FREE DAYS.
Ingredients include purified water, tea tree oil, eucalyptus oil, aloe vera, peppermint etc etc
It cost RM139 per bottle and if you buy it from the Cellnique shops, you may possibly get some freebies. They gave me a choice of one more bottle of toner or a body scrub -tht was worth RM80, i think.
My husband bought this for me as a Valentine's Day gift..along with some roses...wonder wht is the message:lol ...Anyway, he decided to use it first and after 10 days, he confirmed that his nose was not so rough. It seems less oily and the smell was refreshing.
So I decided to try it. The idea is to apply on affected areas - ie when you feel your face and it is rough bec of all the 'heads' - generally, tht is the nose and chin. Do it twice a day and it helps to do a facial scrub. The gel loosens the dirt and it gets washed away. My verdict - it works, smells good and feels cooling upon application.
My personal experience only....

Sarahg, where to find the Cellnique counters besides buying off the shelves at Guardian?Seldom go shopping for cosmetics...

Jintanmanis, sorry...just got back....the gel can be purchased at major pharmacies (I have seen them at Guardian) and Cellnique shops. Some pharmacies only display empty boxes on the shelves and you have to enquire at the cashier.

Dear Auntybagus,
How to get rid of cellulite?
I have been trying Elancyl beauty product- body exfoliation firming gel but it doesn't help.
Any good recommendation? :teehee: :teehee:

Justina ~
Flaky skin is due to skin not be able to produce enough oil/moisture.
Apply moisturisers more often, throughout day & nite.
Be careful when selecting your regular beauty regime products.
Facial mask once a week to remove dry dead skin cells.
Drink lots of water.
Nutrients supplements might help. ( nurtrient deficiencies)
No air-conditioning room.
Seek professional advices i.e. skin dermatologists ... $$$$$$$
Justina, I know, it's not easy but keep on looking. I'm no expert, just some common senses. Mine is a combination skin type. (T-zone) Not perfect but will keep the skin in shape as long as .........
The 360 Moisture Mask is a sky-blue package. One advice, b4 u put on the mask, be sure, your face is deep-cleansed. With dirt clogging at the pores, will be difficult for the nutrients to penetrate. Good luck !!!!!

Yo Quinny Leng Leng ~ DARK EYE CIRCLES
Yours certainly not-lack-of-sleep circles, rite .... i think, there's too much Vitamin D aka SUNSHINE VITAMIN :teehee: :teehee: :teehee: therefore take Vitamin C instead.
Some say, it runs in the family (heredity)
Try to add IRON into your diet i.e. liver & red meat. Wot about wolfberries (kei chi) In the earlier page, Ms. Chilicandy mentioned OLAY EYE LIFTING SERUM, have u tried it yet.
CELLULITE ~ best described as *orange peel* or * dimples*
I have some of them too, around my thighs & my bum :nogood: :nogood: A friend of mine tried Elancyl but it din work either.
So, best weapon is to exercise more & fewer calories. Women tends to have more body fats than men, that's probably the cause of it.
Sorry, I just don't know.
** Appreciate these *dimples* consider them UNIQUE **
WOAH !!! DIM THE LIGHTS & CURTAINS DOWN :yu :yu :yu

MY DEAR SUPER *A* ~
BOTOX, HUMAN PLACENTA INJECTION, LIVE-CELL EXTRACT, VITAMIN C INJECTION are some alternative & effective ways to looking young again. Back to Sweet 18, susah sikit lo ..... all these would probably knock off 5 - 10 years only. :D: :D: :D:
LET US GROW OLD GRACEFULLY & HEALTHILY. WHAT U SAY :D: :D: :D:

SKIN ACTION SEBUM GEL ~ 30ml (rm139/-) & OASIS SOOTHING GEL ~ 50ml (rm129/-)
These 2 products which I bought over the weekend. Accordingly from the beautician, it's best to use the sebum gel & oasis soothing gel together. It works effectively TWO-together. Shall see about it. :D: :D: :D:

AB, this is the Cellnique one? Very keen to know whether it works for me - I shared my experience a few pages before this. Wonder if Jintanmanis likes it as well?
How does the Oasis gel work? I havent seen this one.

Yo SarahG ~ Yup, that's the stuffs from CELLINIQUE. Silly of me not to write a little somthing about this OASIS SOOTHING GEL, here >>
Oasis Soothing Gel is a highly concentrated aloe vera gel-based skin soothing and calming formulation designed for all skin types. This soothing gel is further enhanced with the infusion of witch hazel horse chestnut and marine collagen to deliver an ultra effective moisturizing function. DOES NOT contain Diazolindinyll Urea.
My opinion >> This is rather a sales tactic, by combining the 2 gels. (outcome : another sales :thumbup1 :thumbup1 ) This is a CELLINIQUE BEAUTY SALON, with all ranges & stocks. (slimming products pun ada)
