We recently got a home spa set and tried it once. Love the texture of the body scrub, the scent of the essential oil (lemon grass!) and the scent and feel of the massage oil. Mmmm.

I love my green fingers!

Ettusais Wonder

somethingboutrenes — Sun, 24 Oct 2010 13:38:01 +0000

My sister recommended this a few weeks back and I have been using it for more than a week. It has been very good at clearing acne spots! Within 2 – 3 days, the spot disappeared! This is better than The Body Shop’s tea tree oil collection! I am just wondering what’s in the magic gel!

Medicated Acne Clear Spots Superior

How it Works:

A transparent gel to give emergency care to areas where pimples appear. Refreshing moisture is absorbed quickly, calming the skin and treating pimples. It also prevents new pimples from appearing!

Now that this product works, I am wondering if the one below is equally good! I need to lighten the scars! Girls! Any idea?

White Serum Dual Effect

Concentrated care for treating and lightening blemishes and acne scars.

How it Works:
Containing the goodness of the white shooter, this serum works overtime to deliver intense care to your blemishes and acne-prone areas.

How to Use:
Apply a little on areas of concern with your finger tips.

Mediterranean Diet.

I am trying out Mediterranean Diet. 70% of it.

The principal aspects of this diet include high olive oil consumption (NAH), high consumption of legumes (what’s this?), high consumption of unrefined cereals (not happening), high consumption of fruits (trying!), high consumption of vegetables (trying!), moderate consumption of dairy products (mostly as cheese and yogurt) (will start now!), moderate to high consumption of fish (doing it now!), low consumption of meat and meat products (trying to avoid this!), and moderate wine consumption (okie!).

Beauty Mistakes.

somethingboutrenes — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 15:24:39 +0000

I found this “6 Beauty Mistakes that are bad for your Skin” list here and gosh, I scored a three and a half out of six! This is bad.

Exfoliating too much (yeah, I like the squeaky clean feeling)
Sleeping with your makeup on (this is a big no NO, even I know this)
Not using sunscreen (erm when I don’t bother with my BB cream which comes with UV protection)
Washing with hot water (mmmm, I love hot steamy showers!)
Using expired beauty products (I keep them till I use them all up, but I hardly use them, so gosh.)
Neglecting your neck (I love my neck and I do not neglect them!)

Hada Labo

A few of my friends recommended Hada Labo – a Japanese beauty care brand. Apparently it is all hyped out in the forums and even Lyanna uses it alternately with her SKII Miracle Water! It must be good!

Price reasonably at $23, compared to Shen Qi Shui’s expensive miracle at over $180, I had to get it!

Miracle Water

I know of many people who swear by SK-II Facial Treatment Essence (also known as Miracle Water) and I’ve been wanting to get one! Now that I’ve bought it, let’s see if its magic works!

I tagged along when Stephanie wanted to get a haircut at Sunshine Hair Salon. Sounds dodgy? Yeah. But the owner / chief hair stylist is good! Friendly, caring and definitely stylish! It is also extremely affordable ($14 – $16) !

Conservative me only got a little trim and a bit of fringe. Hee.

Gold Caviar.

I am a happy girl! Jw’s girlfriend braved the snowstorm in Korea to help get my daily beauty essential! Hanskin’s Gold Caviar Gold BB Cream! Thank you! I hope you’ve won the battle with the notorious flu bug you caught in the snow!

I love Hanskin’s BB cream’s

Texture: It is smooth and feels light on the skin!
Tone: It doesn’t make me look like a Geisha but gives a slightly lighten but natural looking skin!
Coverage: It conceals naturally yet allows my skin to breathe!
Additional Benefits: It has whitening, anti-wrinkle and SPF 21 benefits all in one! (Or so they claim!)

Sephora Beauty Bazaar.

somethingboutrenes — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:26:38 +0000

I received an email from a random colleague from our company. I realized I don’t know the sender or the other recipients. They must have sent to the wrong Serene but I was totally thrilled to have a common name this time round! HAHA.

I am a happy girl carting these goodies back! 2 lipsticks, 1 eye liner, 2 eyeshadow palettes all for S$40! WOOHOO!

Tomorrow is the last day!! Go get them!!
