Products on Probation

In replacement for the "death" of my HG powder foundation, I got the Ettusais BB Mineral Powder.

Something for those pesky red acne marks.

Sunscreen is necessary if an acid is used in your skincare routine.
It is also the best anti-aging product you can ever have.

Prevention is better than cure!

Will review these products in the coming weeks!
We'll see who makes the cut!

Good Morning Beauties!

Beautiful design.

Empties- A quick review

Here are some short reviews of my empties from past months!

Guardian Fragrance Free Kid's Wipes:
I use these wipes to remove my makeup before I head out for my evening run. Does not completely remove every single trace of makeup, but it's good enough to allow my skin to breathe a little better .

Neogence Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Essence:
Having really acne prone skin is a PITA. My skin does not tolerate any form of moisturizer, so I use this instead. Hyaluronic acid helps to retain moisture in the skin.
I've lost track of how many bottles of this essence I've used up! HG status for this!

Niks Gentle Sun Protect:
This is now a discontinued product and it was my HG sunscreen. :( Though it was sticky, I liked how my mineral powder foundation was able to cling to my skin better with this sunscreen.

Niks Glycol 12 Glycolic Acid 12% pH 3.5:
I got this to combat my red acne marks. It's an okay product, but I've decided to try other products just to see if there's anything better than this. The Origins Brighter By Nature High-potency brightening peel with fruit acids pads are in replacement of this product. I will do a review on that later.

Eye Mo Moist eye drops:
BEST eye drops ever! It relieves my tired eyes at the end of the day. Can't live without this!

b.liv off with those heads blackhead sebum gel:
Another HG item which I've been using for years! Softens my clogged pores and reduces the number of it too!

Neogence L-Acscorbic Acid Serum:
It was an expensive product which I didn't get any results from.

Neogence Hydrating Lotion:
Didn't like this as well. It contains algae extract which would irritate acne prone skin.

Roc Extra Comfort Cleansing Water:
Reviewed here! Great stuff!

Fancl Acne Care Essence (sample):
I was given 2 sachets of this product. I'm impressed with this product! It calmed down my pimple which was red and inflamed in 2 uses. Would get this product when they're having their next gift with purchase promotion!

Kiehl's Blemish Control Daily Skin-clearing Treatment:
Great product which helped in the healing of scars. But it didn't prevent any new blemishes/ clogged pores from forming.

Fancl Washing Powder:
Dried my skin out. But it was great as a body wash! That was how I used it up!

Physiogel Cleanser:
An expensive version of Cetaphil. Definitely not worth the extra money!

St. Clare Sebum Purifying Mask:
BEST blackhead removing mask ever! Reviewed here!


-The End-

Skincare haul- SKII

It's been awhile since I've changed my skincare routine.

Since hitting my mid twenties, I've noticed my skin lacking that healthy glow.
Fine lines have been showing up around my eyes too.
So I've jumped onto the SKII band wagon.
Most ladies would have tried SKII at some point of their lives.



I decided to get the starter kit set consisting of the Facial Treatment Essence, Facial Treatment Clear Lotion and the Facial Treatment Mask.
Let's see if this really is the Miracle water.

Ingredients list:

Facial Treatment Essence


Facial Treatment Clear Lotion


Facial Treatment Mask

Paul & Joe Eye Color #04

If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

2012 starts of with me on a hunt for a new foundation and sunscreen. The 2 most important staples in my make up routine.

In the month of December 2011, both my holy grail foundation and sunscreen decided to either have been discontinued in production or change in formulation. Having sensitive acne prone skin is a pain in the you-know-what. Every single loose powder foundation breaks me out! Even mineral foundation! And finding a sunscreen which is most likely not to break me out is like finding a needle in a hay stack.

My biggest insecurity is having my skin break out in tiny little clogged pores, leaving their pesky red scars behind which would take months to clear. Trying out new powders and sunscreens would most probably cause my skin to go crazy! :( I fear for the worse.

Does any one have any recommendations for sunscreens and powder foundations which are suitable for sensitive acne prone skin? I'd be most grateful to hear your recommendations!
