this scrub is quite good, first time I experienced a product that can make my skin stay away from getting oily during the day, highly recommended especially to use in the summer
It's a treat
However, in terms of 'scrub', I found that the rice powder is a bit too big to deeply clean my pores (as I have got really serious blackheads problem...)
after sticking with the Nivea Oil Free moisturising fluid for years, I found this product as my 2nd favourite day time face moisturiser, very suitable to use during the summer
Now I use Nivea Oil Free Moisturising Fluid during the winter and this for summer :D
I love the texture as well, not greasy at all and get absorbed pretty easily~

Brilliant lipsticks, they do NOT dry your lips!
Do you have a problem with lipsticks that they tend to dry your lips out whenever you wear them? I used to, even if I had made an effort drinking 8 glasses of water a day!
But not any more since I've came across the following products!

But not any more since I've came across the following products!
The Body Shop
Colourglide™ Lip Colour
Shade I like: 42 Dusk Pink
This one gives a matte look but never makes your lips dry (or even feel like it!). Brilliant range of colour, they have these in both with shimmer or without. Goes on easily and does stay on, just feels like normal lip balm when I put it on and gives a sheer look, but DOES NOT stick!!! :D If it's been a while and has lost a little bit of shine, just put any lip balm on top of that, the colour wouldn't get wiped out^^

L'Oréal Paris
Color Riche Shine Gelée
Shade I like: 104 Pretty Peach; (I also like 303 Sweet Tea but nowhere I could find somewhere that has stock!)
Honestly, I cannot find another colour lipstick that can give your lips moisture better than this. Yes! Instead of drying your lips, this colour lipstick moisturise your lips, and the day I am wearing this product, I don't need to bring a lip balm with me at all. All shades came with great amount of shimmer, shines like lip gloss but DOES NOT stick!!! :D
(*They claim that it's a blend of "delicious colour of a lipstick, the crystal-shine of a lip gloss and the nourishing moisture of a lip balm".) <---- Honestly, I DO THINK SO!!
PUPA MILANO - Non Conventional Beauty
New Chic Designer Lipstick & Lip Liner
Shade I like: 02
Net Weight: 12oz; 3.6ml
I found that this lipstick is great to use over the summer. DOES NOT leave your lips greasy, waxy, nor sticky, it feels like you are not wearing anything on your lips at all. However, somehow, this lipstick seems to do a great job retaining the moisture of your lips, making them smooth and soft without any help of a lip balm.
This lipstick is also very, VERY pigmented but does not transfer easily, staying power is relatively good (I mean... I had an ice lolly 2 hours after I put this lipstick on but still got like 50% of the colour left after I finished the ice lolly).
This lipstick is called a 'Lipstick & Lip Liner' because there's a different on the two opposite sides of the lipstick to the middle, as you can see in the picture. This design allows you to do your lip colour and lip liner in just one stroke. The colour on both sides of this shade appears to be a matte bright pink colour, the a shimmery, pearly soft pink in the middle.
However, I like to do it my own way, and I can get two looks out of this lipstick.
Method 1: Apply the matte bright pink colour, which is on both sides of the lipstick and just this colour on it's own for a more fun, playful, colourful look. This lipstick is really pigmented that you don't actually need to put a lot on.
Method 2: Apply the matte bright pink colour as a base colour and put the pearly soft pink over for a softer, elegant look.
*By the way, I got this at SaSa Outlet in HK so it only costs me HKD28.00. It is, however, much more expensive normally. And yes, the cap comes with a mirror, which I absolutely love!
Does its job but does NOT cause irritation! (Simple Nourishing Eye Make-up remover Cream)
Have you ever found it difficult to remove waterproof mascara? Did you have to wipe so hard it's almost like you were going to pull your lashes off, causing more wrinkles? When you do happened to find one that does remove your waterproof mascara it tends to contain alcohol or irritates your eyes, and dries your skin up?
Try this:
Yes, I know... The Simple range is formulated for sensitive skin but it does not mean that other people cannot use it!
The Simple Nourishing Eye Make-up remover Cream allows you to remove any make-up, including waterproof mascara, without having to put in a lot of effort~
I only use waterproof mascaras and did find it difficult to find a good make-up remover that does not irritate my eyes and skin, at the same time can remove my make-up completely. I hate those with alcohol in because I wouldn't be able to even open my eyes afterwards and they dry up my skin.
I am very pleased with this product and I found it even better than the Simple Conditioning Eye Make-up remover, which comes in like a clear solution.
And I don't trust any type of facial wipes. NEVER rely on facial wipes to remover your make-up because they never do. NEVER!!
With this, I don't even need to use cotton pads...Even though it suggests to use cotton pads but I use my own method, quick, easy, and lazy:
-Squeeze a pea size of the product, massage it on my entire face like you do with a facial wash! (I use this to remove all make-up not just eye make-up~)
-make sure to run my fingers GENTLY across the lashes, only a gentle touch because you don't want to introduce wrinkles to your eye area.
-rinse off with luke warm water
-then I just jump into the shower in the evening and cleanse my facial like usual
This product cleans off every single trace of your make-up and leaves your skin so smooth afterwards, feels like you've applied cream on your face~
Highly recommended!
