Time flies and it’s nearing the end of August!

Time just whizz by when you never bother to really keep track aye?

I have been on a skincare/ makeup shopping ban due to the insane amount of stuff I got, and I am doing pretty well in finishing up my existing items while reviewing them slowly (trying to get back on track ya know), and I only let myself buy stuff when I have finish 1 existing item. Blush is an exception though. I’m a blush whore. Haha.

I love anything that could speed up my skincare/ makeup routine because I always sleep in and usually I am in a rush to leave home. And lately, mousse cleansers are my best-est friend, if there’s such a description.

So yeap, replacing my good old Neutrogena Hydro Boost Mousse Cleanser is the AHA/BHA Exfoliating Face Wash Foam, which is a gift from Kimoko when she and Luna came to KL for a short trip some time back. This cleanser is the same as Tamagohada AHA/BHA Cleanser which comes in a tube form.

I got an uncountable amount of cleansers… At least five, I think. But there’s always one or two that I always go back to and there’s one or two which is an absolutely favourite and will never mind to repurchase and will cry and cringe if it’s been discontinued!

I guess you all know how I feel and how I think, right? Hee~

As I grow older, my skin is going from super oily–> oily–> slightly dry–> kinda dry. Items that used to HG sometimes make my skin flakes because of the oil controlling properties Kinda sad, but oh well, part of life.

So now my skin reaches the stage of it being oily on T-zone and chin, but slightly dry on the cheek and got a bit of dry patch on the forehead too! I don’t use such strong oil control products anymore for fear of making my skin flakes, it’s very visible when I have makeup on, but no so when I go bare face.

Anyway, I think retaining moisture on your skin starts with washing with the correct cleanser. Not necessarily it must make your skin extra plump with moisture or anything, but at least, it doesn’t strip moisture off your skin making dry and tout after cleansing!

Haven’t been posting, neither I have a lot of time lately.

Work has been great, lotsa stuff to do everyday, and it doesn’t help after work I go clean my new room, unpack stuff, throwing out stuff (sobs! my beloved magazines!) and thinking on how to decorate my room and stashing all my makeup, skincare, fragrances etc.

And after a long day, covered myself in dust from top to toe, my face feel icky and yucky that I feel like scrubbing my face every single day.

BAD! You say.

I know, silly. I used something else, without needing me to scrub my face till it turns all red and yet left it clean and smooth.

Ah yes, the ever so lovely I Nuovi Splash Away Makeup Cleansing Oil. (more…)
