Moisturizers

I've been trying out some new moisturizers that i purchased from Hong Kong. What i love about products in Hong Kong is that almost everything comes with whitening properties, which i love because my skin has a lot of discoloring and i have very uneven skin tones. I wish i got more to stock up since i can't find these products here.

First one is by Nivea. It's called Extra Whitening Cell Repair Protect Body Milk.
Don't notice much whitening effects, but i love the texture!


Net is a product by Pond's. Now i was very iffy when trying out Pond's products because the one's i tried here are too greasy for my skin, but since the container looked so cute and the fact that it had whitening effects, i decided to give it a go. And i LOVEEEEE this stuff, it's so smooth and silky, i love how it feels on my skin, and YES instant brightening results! Which i got more!


Pond's flawless white re-brightening night treatment






Been also trying out this new serum. Heard so much about it from beauty guru's and rally wanted to get my hands on them. it's called Hyaluronic Acid Essence by Aquamoist. I put one pump in my hand and pat it all over my face and it dries almost instantly. It's good for keeping moisture in your face, so the moisturizers you put on afterwards will h ave a better effect.


Gel formula

Next product is another brand from Japan called A+Fit- Whitening Essence of dew drop
I usually put this on my face in the morning because it's very light weight. I like something heavier when moisturizing at night. But i love this stuff, once you pub it on, it turns into this liquid-ie texture almost exactly like water. Like MAGIC!!! Feels very fresh and cool afterwards.


gel like consistancy

Last product is my favorite, and was raved so much about on youtube. So glad Sasa were selling them in packs of two for the price of one when i found them. This stuff came from Switzerland, and comes in a tin tube.

Hong Kong Trip/ My travel essentials

Hey Everyone, this is my last post before i head off to Hong Kong in two days! I'll also be going to Taiwan and Macaw.  I'm the type of person who ALWAYS ALWAYS over pack! My boyfriend always scold me. He says, "You're going to Hong Kong, what is there to pack? Just buy everything there!"
But then i'm the worrywart who thinks "what if i can't find anything i like, what if...what if....what if..."

Even on an everyday basis, i always carry too much stuff in my purse, but then again, if anyone needs anything, i'll probably have it =)

I already tried to limit myself this time, and i think i did a good job. If it ends up that i packed too much and i don't have enough room to bring things back, i can always buy another suitcase there hahaha!

So aside from the clothes and all the boring stuff, here are the essentials that i brought with me.


Decided to bring my old TNA bag because it's medium sized and has a zipper, and if i ever break it or loose it, i won't be too heart broken.

Estee Lauder power compact, anti bacterial hand cream, and travel comb
Gravol (i always get car sick, but just in case i get air sick?), and a bottle of advils for evil cramps.
Hello kitty bandages and tissues
Notebook, spare mint, oil blotter papers, and a calculator (because my math is slow)

I bought a bunch of travel bottles to put my liquids in so then i don't have to carry the big bottles. Saves a lot of space and weight.

three different types of moisturizers (love labels!)

I only brought two BB creams with me (i hope it's enough!)
Two paper masks for the plane ride

Travel size shampoo and conditioner, body lotion, acne spot treatment, tea tree oil, toothpaste, emjoi epilator and my clarisonic

As for makeup, i brought very little, because i assume that i won't be wearing a whole lot because the weather will be hot and sticky.


Mary Kay lip balm, Lorac lipstick, mabelline lipstick, viva la juicy rollerball
Two faced palette, wet n wild palette, BB creams

NYX liquid eyeliner, NYX eyebrow pencil, NYX jumbo pencil, and laura mercier mascara

ALSO...

These are my last purchases from Toronto before i leave...

Super cute antibac hand soap from bath and body! It was on sale for $5!!!

faux fur collar thing from H&M. I wanted this so bad from last year but it was sold out, so happy it was back this year! The boyfriend bought this for me <3

clip
I most likely will not have internet access while i'm there unless i am in a wifi area, so i wouldn't be able top blog =(

I'll see you guys in 3 weeks!!!

Estee Lauder/MAC Warehouse sale

I never been to these warehouse sales before because i never got the invitations, but this year, one of my clients who works for Estee Lauder happened to have a few in hand and graciously gave me two!
I should have brought a girl with me, but it was very last minute, so of course i dragged the boyfriend with me, who of course has absolutely no interest in makeup and knows nothing about the things girls go crazy over.

But it was a good thing i brought him since i was born without any self control (what the heck is it?). And he's always telling me to SAVE SAVE SAVE!!!

I only bought two lipsticks since i never tried any of their stuff before and was afraid to AND i had to save :(
