Was chatting with my sexy girl-friend on msn yesterday. Beauty care products is one of the topic. mmm... Lets continue to share some past experience with you peeps here.
When i first stepping into this society and started my earning, (thou it wasn't hell lot but was quite good money for a sweet 16 girl) i was having the crave to spend my money on good food and good things. Good things = Branded stuffs. Clothes, heels, bags, wallets, perfume, make ups, hairdo, facial and facial products. I started to go for SKII, Beaute de Kose, Dior, Estee Lauders. All those high end products eh. which costed me few hundreds bucks lor! hell man! how i wish i could get back those wasted money.
I met a good friend, pretty loaded and we always talk bt fashion and products. Den she told me that she's using products from Body Shop and Simple, and some other things she could find in any shop if chanced upon. "Branded and expensive things doesnt equal to best things." That was what i remember her saying. I was treating that as a passing remark den.
2 yrs ago, i've encountered a terrible breakout lor! I was so upset and fraustrated. All those expensive products didnt do good at all lo! mayb reduced my pimples but den dried my skin. arghhh! or improved slightly but my skin wasnt soft and smooth anymore lo. Den one day i walked into Watson as i was waiting for some late comer la, den i explored the beauty products colume. I saw Garnier light series, den i remember that i once used it during my sec sch days and it really smoother my skin and reduced the dullness. So without thinking twice, i bought most of the things from that series, and also oxy cream to aid my pimples. And within that week, i seen huge improvement lo! Cheap and good ok!!! And i love the frangrance~
Den my itchy butt controls my brainy brain, i stopped using that again and started splurging on some korean products which my friend introduced. Not bad la. But for long term use, that one cannot compare to Garnier light at all lo! Den my skin turned dry and dull again.. Shitty right. And den im getting married soon, but my skin so sucks! I tried to asked around but to no avail. So i suddenly remember Garnier light!!! Ta dah!!! Untill now im still using it lo. Cuz during pregnancy i have experienced the worst complexion problem in life lo. And im sensitive to fragrance too. So this is the best choice as for now. haa. ok la, think i will still continue it for goodness sake.
When i tried other whitening products, they actually dry up the skin. But this one helps whiten and moisterise too. And im more confident to go without make up now. Serious! Cuz before using back this, when i didnt make up, i looked so dull and sick lo. But now its a different thing ok, i look freshen up and healthy! haizzz... but still cant solve my dark rings problem la. many folks told me its like that when u having a baby boy... and some beautician told me its useless to use any eye cream right now cuz this is hormones problem. haizz... But i still use la, just in case baby come out liao, i can still look slightly better. LOL!!!!!
For facial mask, i have no preference la. I would love to try many. Especially when im having bad skin days, i would do mask everyday lo! even hubby also as vain as me now. but i bought men's for him. But sometimes he still wan to use mine. lol. cuz he said mine got so many choices and smells nicer. hahahaha. the best one is those apply one. but sometimes lazy ma, so i bought alot of the sheets one. hahaha. red wine masks are my favourite! now i tend to choose those with collegen. cuz u know la, women once gave birth, the skin will like aging too lo. haizz...
My advice to all pretty vainy girls, (like me) go to Watson, missha, face shop, beauty shop, or whatever u chance upon more often ok. i would rather u spend ur hard earn money there and u can actually buy more and try more things. Rather den spending huge amount on a single small and pathetic bottle of thing. However, u have to be "hardworking" la. everyday must follow and do the procedure. there is no ugly woman but only lazy woman. better is to do facial on ur own. DIY! cuz u know ur skin better. but once in a while can pamper ourselves to beauty saloon too. Cuz i do agree that some equipment and products they using there are effective as well. Believe it or not, once u rely long on them, once u stop, ur skin will turn terrible! i have gone through that. so trust me.
Its fun to DIY. and u can do many things to ur face as u like, but must know the pros and cons la. cannot overdo it ok. LOL. mmmm... im still learning to trim my brows in more professional way. Lol. think i still need help la.. haa.
