Recent buys: April 28, 2012

Time for some goodies I bought and enjoying. It's a combination of different things from nails to makeup to accessory. These are the things I bought since my last post.

Let's start with the makeup and a skincare, shall we?

I was planning to buy the Clinique All about eyes concealer because I heard good feedbacks on those, but when I got to the store, the MUA talk me into buying the Biotherm eye cream because according to her, my main issue is not dark circles but dehydration of the skin under my skin. Needless to say I gave in, even though I didn't plan on spending money on another eye cream, I still have my Olay one, but yeah I still bought it. I've been using it for few weeks now, I haven't seen any major improvement yet but hopefully it'll make some difference for my under eye area. Those late nights and lack of sleep is taking its toll on me that's why I'm into eye products lately and of course trying to be good at sleeping early and taking care of my skin. 

She also picked up the CoverGirl concealer instead of the clinique one. I didn't really liked the CG so yesterday, I picked up the Maybelline Age rewind under eye concealer. Also, I'm excited try out this L'oreal True match foundation. I love the powder version of this that's why I thought I could give this a try.

Hot Tamale and Peach Satin

Finally got myself the Maybelline's Dream bouncy blush. In the store, I got to try the Hot tamale but I also loved the Peach Satin. 

On to the nails, two of these already made their appearance in my latest nail post, haha!

Orgnx Moringa Oil Complex. This is suppose to revive dry damaged hair. I use this every time after I wash my hair and I love how it makes my hair shiny without feeling greasy. 

Lastly, an Aldo watch. I'm not a big watch person but every time I see rose gold watch I can't help myself but want one. So, until I can decide on whether I should buy the Michael Kors watch, I'm pretty happy with my Aldo one. 

Any fave buys you want to share? Feel free to share it here. Thank you for your time and until next time. :) Have a great WEEKEND.

Two in one product

I just want to do a quick post on my recent discovery ( I feel like a scientist while typing that, haha). It's been about two weeks since I came across Gossmakeupartist's video on Youtube about getting rid of blackheads. Okay, so the credit really should go to him. He mentioned that salicylic acid helps with combating blackheads, you can watch his video here, he did an amazing job explaining it. 

I was really intrigued by that so I went and try it with my trusty Clean and Clear dual action moisturizer that I've been using to spot treat my pimples with. 

I noticed a visible reduction in my blackheads which I'm very happy about. I hope this is of any help.

Have a great week end.

Moisturizersss

Hi. I thought I'd share some of my recent beauty buys and I realized it's all moisturizers. Haha! As much I love my Clinique Dramatically Different moisturizing gel, I find that during this time of the year when it's cold and windy, some part of my face is a bit dry. I got away with it few months ago because I was also using my Olay Regenerist Micro-sculpting serum which is hydrating as well. Those product, in my opinion is better during summer so I went and picked up the moisturizer I used to use during cold months, the Olay Complete all day moisturizer.

I loved the pink version of this but I figured I'll try this one since I also need SPF. 

I saw this Aveeno tinted moisturizer was on sale two weeks ago, so I decided to pick it up as well. I heard pretty good reviews about it. I've used this couple of times and so far so good. 

Lastly on the moisturizer craziness, is this Clean&Clear one that I only use for spot treatment. This is a repurchase product, so you can tell I love it. Been into this product for about 2 years now, it's been staple on my beauty corner.

And here are some random pictures I saw on the magazine. They are so pretty I can't help but share it. Thank you for sharing your time with me. :)
