New Skincare Additions

Hi all,

Apologise for my short vanish, "work" have been driving nuts lately! NUTS!!!!

Anyhow, just because I am stressed out, I won't forget to take care of my skin. In fact, washing my face, doing a mask at home has become my relaxing and de-stressing activity! hehe~

I have finished my ipsa foaming cleanser & Botani serum and even though they are brilliant products, I cannot resist to try new things! So, I have replaced these two items with the following: SK-II Facial Treatment Cleanser & Lancome High Resolution Collaser-48 Intensive Collagen Anti-Wrinkle Serum.

My opinion:

SK-II Facial Treatment Cleanser

My first time trying SK-II product, and to be honest, I am a bit disappointed. It is after all a high-end product, and for all those hype about this brand, this cleanser is just, well, an ordinary cleanser to me! Don't get me wrong, it is not a bad cleanser, it does clean really well but it doesn't leave my skin soft like ipsa cleaning foam does. The texture and smell does reminds me of Shiseido cleanser though.

Lancome High Resolution Collaser-48 Intensive Collagen Anti-Wrinkle Serum

This is a really rich serum, it comes out almost like a cream, and it feels quite heavy on. It doesn't bother me at all, as I like heavy creams, but for those of you who has oily skin, this may not be ideal. I don't have a serious wrinkle problem, just dry lines around my mouth and under my eyes. I do not feel that this product help diminishing those lines though, again, a little disappointing.

Overall, I rated both of these products 6/10. Not bad, but I do not feel they worth the price.

Next!

I've got myself another eye cream for night time, as the ipsa serum is not as moist enough for my dry, puffy dark under eye area!

Neutrogena Ageless Intensives Deep Wrinkle Eye Cream

I don't think I have try this long enough to give it a fair review. But I am liking this product at the moment, it does feel really nice and moist after I've applied it. Great for pre-concealer!

Then, let me introduce the sunscreen that I'm using. I should use sunscreen everyday, I used to, but with all the rain and wind and gloomy weather this winter, it just puts me off from putting so much layers on my skin. So, until Summer finally knock on my door, I just apply this when the sun comes to visit me! :)

Dermalogica Oil Free Matte Block SPF20

This is really nice, I won't say it does a lot in mattifying my skin though, it still gives me a nice sheen that other sunblock do to my skin. Foundation stays on for the whole day even if I wear this under it.

Okay, that's it for now! not a very exciting review, but hope this will help.
