I have a love-hate relationship with this sunscreen. When the #evurl girls reviewed this, I was excited. Hada Labo’s products work well for me generally, so this really shouldn’t be a problem. But well… you’ll have to read on to know how it fares on me!

Biore’s sunscreen has been my holy grail sunblock for years, I did stray and used a few others but I always go back to Biore. Enough said.

Hada Labo’s sunscreen is housed in a slim bottle, containing 38ml of the product, which is quite a weird number, but not that I mind.  I like the simple packaging and it comes with a screw cap, so the chances of it leaking is really minimal. I have been travelling with it and no problems there!

Did Shu Uemura Depsea Hydrability Alnight Quench SOS Moisture Essence Answer My SOS Call?

This serum’s name here is a mouthful. I don’t want to call it by it’s full name, so let’s call it the SOS Moisture Essence okay?

I came back from Taiwan last December with dry skin. With the travelling, late nights and bad eating habits in Taiwan, I just assume that the dryness will just go away once I resume my normal lifestyle/ habits. It’s only when I went to Shu Umeura for my brow session, Selina (my usual SA) told me that it seems like I have a slightly sensitive skin right now, due to my skin being rather dry, and my skin doesn’t look as glowy and bright as it used to.

So she told me to give the SOS Moisture Essence a try, and I bought it without hesitation. Impulse purchase, this is.

shu uemura offers a new night ritual, an everyday “mask” like essence to emergently quench the thirst of the skin overnight.

A Nay From Plue: Clinique All About Eyes Rich

Uploaded from the Photobucket Android AppClinique All About Eyes Rich

Should have written about this a while back, but it was just sitting in my pile of drafts, waiting for a chance for it to see the daylight.

Well now here it is!

I had wanted to try out the lighter version of Clinique All About Eyes but the SA told me I should take the Rich version as my undereyes are really dry and needed something richer, hence I picked it up.

The eye cream itself is hard in the pot, but soft and buttery upon touching it. You only need a pea size amount for both of your eyes, anything more and you’d end up with really oily greasy eye. I don’t think the skin around my eyes love this eye cream as much compared to the Antipodes one, as it refuse to absorb it. It just stays on top of my skin like a greasy film and that’s about it. No matter what method I use, be it patting, rubbing (horrible!), warming it up, nothing would make my skin absorb it in! Absolutely nothing. I surrender myself to oily eyes. *sigh*
