Inglot is coming to Queensbay Penang!

Hello ladies!

I have a good news for those who stay near to Penang. Inglot is coming to Queensbay Penang! It will be at Ground floor, next to L'occitane and very near to main entrance.

I have been reading about Inglot and how bloggers love about it but it was too far for me to get it! I am so happy to see the renovation going on in Queensbay. That means I can try the Inglot products much easier! Hooray~

The question now is when will it open? I guess we'll have to wait for the updates from their fan page.

For now if you are interested to know more about Inglot, here is a very good blog by ParisB - My Women Stuff. Ohh, it is my favourite blog!

Alright, let's wait for Inglot to open and we shall have fun! =)

Love,

How often do you apply mask?

Hello Ladies,

I have a question in mind today - how often do you apply mask? =)

For me, I usually apply exfoliating mask weekly and hydrating mask more often. But sometimes, when I got lazy y'know, I will skip all these... Ahha..

I find that by exfoliating regularly would help my skin to absorb skin care better. However, if I exfoliate too much my skin will be dry. =( As for hydrating mask, I tend to apply like once in every 3 days. I helps to minimize my pores! When my face is dehydrated I will then apply it daily!

So, tell me, how often do you apply mask and what type of mask you love the most??? =)

Love,

Stephy

How Do You Use Lemon???

Source: [free-extras.com]

Hello everyone!

I guess we all know that lemon is a good fruit with high anti-oxidant. So, do you take lemon???

My dad always asked me to drink fresh lemon everyday. FRESH with no sugar added. I bet you know how sour it is! Well, now I'm used to it and I actually like it quite well! I would squeeze a lemon into a mug, add some water and throw in few ice cubes - that's it! What a healthy good lemon juice. *I'm acting proud right now*

What do I do next? The lemon that has been squeezed does not look pretty now, but don't throw it away! You can still use it! Sometimes I will leave it in my refrigerator to freshen up my fridge or put in my bedroom - especially when the air-con is ON. Ohh, my room smells so fresh making me wanna fall asleep straight! To me it is kinda 'natural aromatherapy'  

That is how I use lemons. So, my question for you is: How would you use a lemon/lemons? Can't wait to hear all of your stories! Hope that you would share with me!  

Have fun!

Palmer's Organic Therapy Heals My Waxing Bumps

I love leg waxing as the hair takes time to grow again. However, I would think twice when comes to it. The reason is simple, I will have waxing bumps on my legs after waxing just like a razor burn. Too bad huh? People say lotion helps to sooth the skin and I have tried various brands of lotion but to no avail.

Until one day when I found Palmer's Olive Butter Formula Organic Therapy, the problem is solved! I'm so glad that now I can wax my leg at anytime I want! *Teehee*

This Palmer's lotion is green in colour and it is not greasy. But, it has a strong scent which to me is still acceptable; to some it may not.

Usually I will have waxing bumps on my leg for 3 to 4 days after leg waxing. Not only the look is ugly but also it is painful. With Palmer's lotion, the skin of my leg is back to normal the next day! Let me show you the difference. The first picture below is the look of my leg which is just after leg waxing. The second below is the look the next day after I apply the Palmer's lotion. Amazing huh?

*Before*

*After*

Now, I do not have to worry about the 'after-wax' effect. I just need to apply the lotion and I'm ready to go! So, how do you think? Do you have waxing bumps each time you wax too? Let me know!

p.s. I now have a Facebook page, hope you can Like it. =)

Good Luck!

Love,

What Have Saved My Dry Flaky Skin!

One week ago my face became very dry and flaky after exposing myself too much under the sun. I did not apply any sunblock (I do not have the habit), so I think that has caused my skin to be in a bad condition too.

You know, when the skin is too dry, it will become very flaky and rough. It is painful too especially when I try to apply moisturizer. Learnt that sufficient hydration would heal the skin, I added some hydrating steps into my skin care routine. And of course, I consumed more water than normal, hoping that it will hydrate 'me' from inside out.

Hydrating Mask

Normally, we are advised to apply hydrating mask once a week. However, I apply it on my face EVERYDAY when my face is dry and flaky. It really helps! I used My Beauty Diaries sheet mask as my Cellnique Soothing and Hydrating Masque has ran out. Before using the sheet mask, I put it into refrigerator until the sheet mask is cold. You could imagine how comfortable it is to have a cold sheet mask on your face.

Hydrating Serum

I used Clinelle hydrating serum - Moisture Booster to boost my skin moisture level. It really helps to hydrate my skin. My skin gets better each day after using this serum! However, my skin gets sensitive when I apply this serum directly onto my skin. My cheeks got red in colour and there were red bumps on them. So, I pumped the serum on my fingers and rubbed before patting them onto my face. With this method, my cheek does not develop any sensitive spots and I am happy with it.

Hydrating Moisturizer

My Kiehl's moisturizer was not sufficient enough to hydrate my dry skin. It is a nice  moisturizer when your skin is normal but not when your skin is dry. So I switched back to my Cellnique Moisturizer - Intensive Hydrating Oasis Gel. I apply a thick layer on my face in the morning and evening. It got slightly sticky ( due to the thick layer ) but it was not oily at all!

The Result

Believe it or not, my face is back to normal - no more dry flaky skin, after just 4 days! I was so happy and now here you are, the products that have saved my skin! Buh-bye to DRY skin!

Extra Tips

When you are experiencing dry skin, try to avoid outdoor activities - especially if you are staying in a hot country like me. And always remember to apply sunblock! With this lesson, I always remind myself to apply sunblock before going out. Well, also remember to drink more plain water!

Do you have even better way to heal dry skin? Do share with me!
