Since our last episode was about hair care, now, comes one of the most important areas – skin care.

As we all know, skin care takes a long time to maintain or to improve current skin condition.

It is recommended that you start taking care of your skin intensively at least from 3-6 months time. Set a little budget for saloon service at least once a month, and the rest will be home-care.

Morning/ Night Skin Care:

For the brides to be, I would recommend to use hydration or brightening skincare range to get the glowing skin on the big day.

Hydrating skin care:

For hydrating skin care, I would recommend Laneige Hydra Bank Set, my set is running low soon, and I am thinking to continue another set. It doesn’t break the bank and it delivers result!

Brightening skin care:

If you have a little to splurge, you can try for Clarins White Plus HP Sea Lily Enriched range.

After taking care of your skin day and night, you need some extra to boost the results too.  Frequent use of masks can seriously help to improve your skin condition a lot. Now, let’s see the mask types you can easily get in the market.

Sleeping masks:

It is better to use at least once or twice of sleeping mask a week to retain the moisture in your skin. Apply all your skincare at night as per usual, then slap on a layer of sleeping mask and you are done. The next morning you will have soft and supple skin.

Ever since I discovered Red Earth Perfect Line and Stila Gel Liner, I never looked at any other brands again.  I wanted to restock my Red Earth but all the Sasa outlets were out of stock!

So after some attempts, I finally gave in and bought another brand to give it a try.

I was introduced to Kiss Me Heavy Rotation Liquid Eye Liner in Black by the Sasa sales  girl.

Why? Because it has similar brush structure as the Red Earth Perfect Line. I like my liquid liner tip to be firm, not poky and really black.  I was quite delighted to find another similar brush.

Sungei Wang is not my favorite place to hang out at, but sometimes I do find some gems there!

Such as, this Sutra Shining Girl Eyeshadow Quad.

According to the seller, it is a Korean brand but it seems like China/Taiwan made product because there at the back of the box everything is printed in Chinese.

Opening the case, it actually looks quite cute!

What makes this unique is – it comes with a base (wax) together with a quad!

And for the first time I love a green on an eyeshadow palette!

And the staying power with the base is fantastic!

Laneige has been in Malaysia for some time, and to be honest, I have never paid attention to this brand until I was in Korea.

There was a Laneige flagship store in Myeongdong and it was 2-storey high!

And one thing about the Korea trend (I assume) is, they like to buy things in bulk! For example, I have seen many promotions for buy 3 Laneige water sleeping pack then free 1. I was quite amused: do they use THAT much?

But, after seeing so many good skins in Korea…I decided to get myself a set of Laneige Hydra Bank set for dry skin too. It was about RM190. Can anyone tell me the price here?

It has: Power Skin Refiner, Balancing Emulsion, Water Bank Cream, travel set of the items and one cleanser.

Power Essential Skin_EX is the first step after cleansing. It feels like a toner,  but slightly more moisturizing. It is supposed to work before toner. I find this works better for me than the clear lotion as it helps my skin stay hydrated longer.

Balancing Emulsion 1_EX is the second step in the routine, it acts as a toner or sometimes  a moisturizer. It works best when you pat the emulsion on a cotton pad onto your face till everything is absorbed into your skin.

After this stage, my face feels really hydrated and moisturized.

Last week when I was browsing StrawberryNet randomly, I was delighted to see the promotion for Bobby Brown Mini Brush Set again! I have seen it before but I missed the chance of buying, so without hesitation I placed my order.

The cute casing out of the box!

Upon unzipping, I saw 3 baby brushes lying comfortably on the cushion *bliss*
