June 2013 favourites..
Well well, without knowing, another month has just whizzed me by and today is already the very last day of June!!
Beauty Haul!!
Hi, I am back with a haul post this time round. I don't know what happened, this is only the middle of June and I have already done quite a serious damage to my wallet (specially, to my credit card). >_<
I have some Clarins here..
(sorry, I have lost the receipt, so I do not know how much these stuff actually cost. The total damage is $300ish)
Expert Body Contouring Programme
This set comes with three items, Body Shaping Cream 200 ml, Exfoliating Body Scrub for Smooth Skin 30 ml and Contour Body Treatment Oil 30 ml - all for only the price of the Body Shaping Cream. Good deal!
Body Shaping Cream targets stubborn curves and firms* - I bought it specially for my tummy.. :~(
Exfoliating Body Scrub for Smooth Skin with bamboo powders helps to soften, smoothed and firms the skin*. This is one of my favourite body scrubs as it really leaves the skin as smooth as a baby's bottom.
Contour Body Treatment Oil helps to relax, smooth and reduce water retention*. The therapist at the Clarins Skin Spa taught me apply this oil from the ankles to thighs and rise with cold water to increase blood circulation.
Shaping Facial Lift Wrap
This mask will help to reduce puffiness caused by sleep, stress or heat*. The therapist used this on me during the facial and I really liked it, so I decided to get it since I do wake up with puffy face some times.
Renew-Plus Body Serum
Helps to smooth away roughness to leave skin soft, supple and bright*. The therapist recommend this product to help fade away the awful marks left behind from my back acne. I have only used it once and so it is still too early for any results.
Next, from Philosophy, I have got the Radiant & Refined set for normal to oily skin, $110 and the Water Lily Blossom shampoo, shower gel and bubble bath, $35. I received a one time 10% discount off my entire bill as this is my first purchase from a Philosophy store.
Radiant & Refined set
This set consists of the Purity 3-in-1 cleanser for face and eyes 240 ml, When Hope Is Not Enough Serum 30 ml and Hope In A Jar oil-free gel 60 ml. If I am not wrong, all these items are in full size.
This set is advertised as the best sellers for the first signs of aging for normal to oily skin, provides lightweight, balanced hydration, visibly improved lines and healthy looking glow.
The moisturiser was the main reason to why I bought this set. I could have only gotten only it instead of the set, but it makes more economical sense to get the set since both the cleanser and serum are on the top of my wish list. And it helps that there is an additional 10% discount.
Purity 3-in-1 cleanser is formulated for all skin types, is a cleanser, toner and eye makeup remover in one and it deeply cleanses pores and eliminates makeup build-up*. I have read so much rave about this cleanser and I can't wait to try this out! But first, I have to finish up my current cleanser.
When Hope Is Not Enough hydration antioxidant serum helps to minimize the look of fine lines and wrinkles, helps reduce the signs of environmental damage and protect against premature aging and is oil-free, quick absorbing formula lightly hydrates the skin*.
I tried this on the back of my hands and this serum is very watery, absorbs fast and not sticky. I have yet to try this on my face yet, so hopefully this will work well on my skin. I really detest products that sits on top of the skin surface and makes skin sticky.
Hope In A Jar oil-free gel this lightweight gel features multiple antioxidants to help defend skin against free radicals, provides optimal hydration and mild exfoliation and amino acids to help condition skin for a beautiful smooth, radiant finish*.
I have previously tried a sample of the it and I really loved it. I don't really know how to describe, but as I applied this skin to my skin, I totally fell in love.. Love the texture, love the feel on the skin.........
Water Lily Blossom shampoo, shower gel and bubble bath
I think this will be one of my new loves. I have only tried it twice, I used it as both shampoo (be sure to follow up with conditioner if you are using it as a shampoo, otherwise I think the hair will be very tangled) and shower gel and its fantastic! It lathers up well and smells very very very good. It has a light floral scent that is not too overpowering. I kind of think that it leaves my scalp feeling rather clean and purified, but maybe it is just me. It rinses off easily and does not leave my skin feeling stripped.
The gifts I received with the purchase.
These are not the only things I have bought! I have nail polishes from Essie, OPI, Etude House, The Face Shop, undies and shower gels from Marks & Spencer, dresses from my favourite store L'zzie... I think I gonna faint when my credit card bill arrives in July...!!!
Thanks for reading!
Bye!!!
