Garnier Aqua defence, Egyptian Magic Cream

Hmm, so how have I been faring so far? Let's see, I've been quite injured lately, it all started with the ripped nail that bled alot, then the feet that skin came off and then there's the eye infection.

Sheesh, talk about unlucky streak. Not going to show you my gross eye or my feet cause it will definitely without a single doubt gross you guys out. It managed to gross everyone in my office out. I thank god, that healthcare here is really cheap and that I'm working in a place where medicine is free cause I'm super prone to eye infection of all things and getting sick. And I'm also clumsy.

I'm either forever knocking into tables and chairs like a pinball or tripping over my own shoes. I blame it all on the fact I'm half blind.


*sigh*

GameForge will be officially launching latest expansion, WorldWake tomorrow. I know JH is super excited. Got the Lightkeeper of Emeria, the latest angel to add to my growing angel collection. Hee hee..


You light up my lifeeeee, you gave me hope, to carry ooooonnn~

I have 3 moisturiser waiting for me at home, but I hate them all. I suspected that they have been giving me pimples. Been using the Estee Lauder Hydra Complete multi-level moisture cream, [God, what a long name] which I love with all my heart and soul except for it's price tag. So when I saw that Guardian was having a sale on Garnier Aqua Defense range, I rushed over to browse around. I remember Elisa and Kern mentioned that they quite like the range and it wasn't too bad so with my paycheck banked in, I picked up the Aqua Defense Cream. I got the cream instead of the essence because... I'm a bloody cheapskate. I got a coupon for RM4 off this one so I got this one instead. It ended up being really cheap at RM12+. [insert gleeful laugh]

I'm happy to report it gave me no breakouts. I'm a little paranoid ever since the Dr.Jart+ incident. The jar is solid and heavy and it smells nice, to me anyway. It smells of a little cucumber-ish.


Why does it have so many chinese character? I can't read them!!!! What do the wormy words says?

I'm not too sure if it's just me but I've been using BRTC Protect Multiplex Balm which was way too dark for me plus my Etude House Precious Mineral which is a little too light together! Both of these has superb oil control on their own so I'm really not sure if it's because of the weird combo or because of the moisturiser that my face is super oily.


It wasn't meee, it was already spilled over when I bought it!

Since my last bad online shopping encounter, I've stopped buying anything but a certain something caught my eyes and after days or debating, I decided to get it anyway. Cost quite a bit, roughly about RM155 + free shipping (Yay!) It's been a while since I even spent that much on something online.


Ta daaa~

The Egyptian Magic Cream, lots of people have already done reviews on it and has some pretty good write ups about it, so I'm just going to write on my own 2 cents on it.

When I first got it, I was quite worried, it looked and smelled somewhat like Vaseline. I would have started killing people if I really bought a huge jar of Vaseline for RM155 cause I already have two bottles of that at home and it's been 4 years and I have not finished using them yet.

Since I recently bought the Hada Labo skincare, I didn't wanted to mix them. I was worried it might be too moisturising and I might end up with pimples. I don't use my Hada Labo toner in the morning since i'm rushing for work and I don't have time to spend 15 minutes patting my face.

I used it as a body lotion for the first night. I applied some to my cracked heels and all over my body and went to sleep. I must admit my shock when I woke up today and my cracked heel healed. I can't stop touching it wondering if I'm just imagining things since I've applied Vaseline then wore socks and it took weeks to even make my heel better. I'm amazed! My skin feels so moisturised too. Wow! It's a little sticky at first but once it's absorbed, it's still sticky but bearable unless the weather is hot then you can stick a note on yourself ala post-it style on your forehead.

But keep in mind that the cracked heel wasn't very serious. Just a minor peeling type.

Started using it as a day moisturiser before sunblock hoping that it might help with my skin, so far so good. No break outs yet. Ehehehehee!


Me loving it so far

Ciao Bella!

How are you!? It has been a while and I know you're busy, so don't worry about replying on my email like immediately okay!

But man! Your nail and feet..oh and your eye! Are you okay? The skin of your feet, is it because of the sun? or shoes? It must hurt! I'm very very clumsy myself...tripping is standard hehe. I trip over air. Please be careful okay ^_^.

I'm constantly on the search for new moisturizers and facial things. And I hate it that I have to keep an eye to what I get and what i already have, because too much moisturizer on your face = break outs. Too little moisturizer = breakouts. To find this balance it's super annoying, because I found out that after I got a good beauty regime...my face gets used to it after month or so, so it doesn't really work and I need to switch products. Ooh it's such a pain in the ass. yes. I said ass ^_^. You shocked? Hehehehe

Garnier has indeed nice products! Oh and LOVE your new profile picture!! Simply gorgeous!

I'm off to read your next post!!
