I have been using Clinelle for quite some time now after being recommended by Momster. Lately I've been lazy maintaining the daily morning and night routine. I found myself to get bored with the skin care product that I use after a certain period of time.
I thought of going back to one of the brands I've tried before, but I found that their pricing is a bit too high these days. So, I scout around some more.
Today, I was attracted to the advertisement by Bioxil while I was at KLCC. They are having promotion for a serum that is said to be able to repair the skin damage due to sun exposure and environmental aggression. They are selling it at RM99.
Suffice to say, by the end of my visit, I walked away with 4 products including the serum; daily cel-repair, clear white masque, clear white essence and wrinkle lifting eye cream. I admit I was sucked into the scary aging process story. I was pleasantly surprised to know that Bioxil and Clinelle comes from the same parent company.
Anyway... here are the short description of the products:
clear white masque & clear white essence: To correct uneven skin tone, repair and hydrate the skin. It is also to brigthen up a dull complexion. (RM250)
daily cel-repair: To repair, lighten, protect and restore skin condition as a result of sun exposure overnight. (apparently this can also be applied to other parts of the body, so I'm going to try it on my arms and hands). (RM99)
wrinkle lifting eye cream: To smooth fine lines, reduce puffiness and dark circles around the eye countour area. (RM99)
According to the product speacialist, I should be able to see the result within a month if I maintain the routine. So I shall write a review on these items in August ya. Together with the purchase they gave me some free samples, which include their sun block, moisturizer and anti-aging lifting essence. I doubt 8ml of cream will do much, but I shall slather them as well.
The best part of Bioxil products is that they use plant, flower and fruit extract. No allergens or chemicals or mineral oils according to their brochure. Find out more about their products here: http://www.bioxil.com/main.php.
Please note that prices shown are promotional prices. I'm not sure until when is the promotional period.
A lot of people have written about the passing of one of the greatest entertainer in the world. None other than Michael Jackson. Even in death, he overshadowed everyone else; death of Farah Fawcett, other world news, war, famine, etc. Once again, after Bad (1987) people around the globe are talking about him, non-stop.
I grew up listening to Michael Jackson. Billy Jeans touched my kiddy heart in a way a kid cannot explain or understand. Beat It makes a little girl strutted her own moves in front of the 14-inch TV set, at times looking over her shoulders, scared of what her mom would say. Thriller had thrilled the same girl and actually taught her that ghost aren't real; even if they were, nothing bad will happen, they are MJ's friends!
And like DNAS, the best love song, I Just Can't Stop Loving You. Beautifully composed, lovely music. Michael Jackson had touched a lot of performers around the world too. Just look at many of the artists today who are influenced by his music, his dance moves. In my opinion Michael Jackson had tried his best to heal the world with his music. Granted, he had many flaws, just like any other human beings, just like you and I. But one should not forget his effort to make the world a better place.
People will remember his music, and his songs for a long long time. I can't stop wishing that this is just another of his stunts. Wouldn't it sell more of his sold-out concerts? Ha ha ha...
Well, MJ, so long and farewell. May God be with your soul. And to the rest... I leave u with this song...
Last Saturday, an outing with Mel found ourselves ogling the items in SSF, one after another. Somehow, during the ogling session, we decided that some of the things that I earlier decided on purchasing will be done by ourselves.
I foresee busy days ahead. But I'm all for it. I want this to be memorable. And I want it to be meaningful. What would be more apt than making it happen on my own, right? I already have ideas for the dais. I asked for few quotes, and the simplest but nice options are all highly priced.
During lunch hour today, I managed to acquire some items that will already complete two of the nine gifts I am to give. I hope he will like it. He he he... I also browsed another item, which I did not think to give before, but somehow feel that I should. I managed to just "browse" and not grab it straight away. (Silent YEAY!) I think I should wait for this one. :-D
Ideas are flowing out of my head non-stop. I admit, I am not the most creative person on earth, but I know what I want.I was told that my gifts presentation during the engagement ceremony was too simple compared to the ones given to me. But, I love what I did, and I love the simplicity-no-fuss about it. And I believe that's what matters most. How I feel, and not what everyone else think. :-D My future father-in-law even used the bases as a picture base and put them on the wall in their home, so what more gratifying credentials do I need?
Somehow, in these couple of months, I have learnt to take into account the opinion that lifts me up and enhance my self esteem. I have learnt, although sometimes still hurt, to take the opposites with a pinch of salt.
The contractor who did my room, did not do as I wanted, because she thinks she knows better. So, she painted the room with bright colours when I wanted darker shades. Now my room looks like marshmallow and candy. Everytime I step into the room it will feel as if I step into a Barbie's movie. So now, I have to change the design that I planned for the room. I do not want to get into fight with her because my mother considers her as a sister. Though I doubt she thinks the same. Yes, I'm bitter that way. Hati belum cukup suci. My heart is not pure enough to think well of everyone. After all, it's all about money. It brings dark clouds when one talks about money.
Anyway, coming back to more fun matters... Mel sent me the design she made for the dais. It looks 90% like mine. I guess it's a good idea to decide to this with her, since she adds spices to my otherwise "simple" design. He he he... I can't wait to go and buy all the things we need to create this fantasy of mine. Mel was so excited when we talked about it last weekend, and I realised that this is the kind of vibes that I should surround myself with. It makes me happier. :-p
I have, I hope, completed the necessary document for the other thing we're planning. I sincerely hope and solemnly pray that it will go well. So many things to do suddenly!
Whatever it is, I want to maintain this momentum and state. Happy. Happy. Happy. Blurgh... I'm kinda disgusted with myself now. Ha ha ha....
To those who actually texted, messaged or even called me up after the last post, I really appreciate it. Thanks for your concern. I'm okay now. :-)
I have decided that I will not be disappointed or made sad by the things that are out of my control. It's not like I did not make an effort, kan? So, it's all fated, and I accept it.
Most of the time, it's easier to be hurt by the ones who are closer to you. And because when we're close to someone, we take it for granted that certain things are expected to be done. It can happen in any kind of relationship; between parents and children, between husband and wife, between business partners, between good friends.
And like most of the time too, God sends comfort in the form of a new friend or a new reward or a change of heart. That's why we say He works in mysterious ways. Everything that happens, has a hidden blessing. So, I shall take what is offered and accept it with arms wide open. And I have a feeling it's going to be great!
In these past months, I have came to realise the things I did not see before. And because of this realisation, I am thankful and contented. I also should start emitting positive vibes, to ensure the universe works with me and not against me - The Alchemist 101. Just a small dose of it yields unexpected sunnier result.
