Updated Skincare Routine

Its been a while since I'd uploaded a Youtube video and felt absolutely apologetic for my horrendous behaviour. Guess its laziness that runs in the bones. Haha..

Here's the video of my babbling without much thinking thus the much "Eeerrrrr"s and "Uuuummmm"s:




And the post:



Products mentioned:
1. Bourjois Fresh Cleansing Milk => link

2. Biotherm Hydra Mineral Cleanser Toning Mousse => link

3. Lush Tea Tree Water => link

4. b-liv by Cellnique Off With Those Heads => link 

5. Lancome Hydra Zen Eye Contour Gel => link

7. Biotherm Aqua Source Gel Moisturiser => link

8. La Roche Posay UVA Ultra Daily Protection Melt-in Cream SPF50 PA+++

My skincare routine is always on the constant change of products. As this video was made a while ago, I had changed my cleanser since. And I have to say, I'm thankful that up till now, my skin is still in great condition.

However, with great skin comes a great price. If I were to add up all the prices of the products above, it really seems that I spent a lot on just my face. Phew... maybe this is what we call woman are known to be vain, regardless of how much we have to spent.

But anyhow, although all of the products are not my absolute love, but some of them are my all time favourite. Just click the video above and you'll know what I'm talking about. ^_^

My Beauty Diary Masks: Bird's Nest

Well, as some of you may know, Bird's Nest are made from Swallow's saliva. Yup, you read it right. The secretion from a bird's mouth may be the last thing that you might want to put on your face, but trust me, it contains all the beauty properties you might need for looking radiant (although some scientific research proved that bird's nest may not contain any beneficial substance, but oh well, we Chinese had been consuming this expensive delicacy since.. oooh... I don't know when..)


Thus, this mask was slightly intriguing as I always wonder what would bird's nest smells like. But trust me, the mask smells anything but saliva and I guess that its due to the ingredients that the manufacturing added in that mask off the unpleasant.

So according the packaging, this mask could help in locking in moisture and smooth fine facial lines. Not only that, the mask is said to brightens dull skin and introduce firmness to slagging skin. Sound promising. 

And true to its word, I do feel that my skin brightens noticeably after just one application. I'd noticed that my face looked less yellowish and there seem to be a nice radiance going on. Its just surprises my so that finally, a mask that does as it promises. Thumbs up.

I really do recommend this mask out of all My Beauty Diary Masks. But if you are looking for something that smells good and relaxing, then give this mask a skip. But if you are like me looking for a quick fix to brighten up your face before putting on makeup or going out, then this would be for you.

Clarins Makeup and Skincare Haul

So, I guess this would be the last video series of my hauls as I started to feel the burn in my pocket. Thus, enjoy while you can ^_^

Enough said, lets start with the obligatory video of me talking crap about this topic.



Then onto the pictures.




Products displayed in the pictures not including all freebies and samples:
1. Clarins Bust Beauty Firming Lotion
2. Clarins Moisture Replenishing Lip Balm
3. Clarins Instant Light Brush On Perfector
4. Clarins Blush Prodige Illuminating Cheek Colour 02 Soft Peach

I had tried them all out and I do have to say I am totally smitten by the quality and the effects that they had on me. 

Clarins Bust Beauty Firming Lotion -> My boobs does look and feel firmer noticeably (I can totally tell that they are less saggy than before and I am definitely satisfied with the results)

Clarins Moisture Replenishing Lip Balm -> This was how I want it to be. Moisturizes my lips till the next day when I slap this on overnight. No funky smell included. Thumbs up.

Clarins Instant Light Brush On Perfector -> A light coverage but buildable and yet feel oh-so-weightless. This may be a substitute to my YSL Touche Eclat. 

Clarins Blush Prodige Illuminating Cheek Colour 02 Soft Peach -> I am so in love with this. Finely milled and great pigmentation. Its of good quality. And what's more, it totally compliments my Asian skin.
