October'2013 Haul

Today is a stress day at work. So I went to do some shopping near the drugstore around my area. I have been eyeing these few items for quite a while and finally.. I have decided to bring these goodies home.. :)


SKINCARE

BIO-ESSENCE SNAIL REPAIR AND SMOOTH CREAM

My thoughts: 
This is a repurchase item. I have been using this for a few months. It does nothing really magical to my skin but I repurchase this because it didn't break me out and it somehow keep pimples at bay (or so I thought)..
I have oily-T combination skin so I only wear this on at night to avoid looking like a disco ball :P

BIO-ESSENCE HYDRA TRI-ACTION AQUA DROPLET SLEEPING BEAUTY MASK

My thoughts:
This is a newly launched item in the country. So, this is my first try. It claims to combat 4 common skin problems i.e. brighten dull and tired skin , regulates oil and moisture level , moisturizes dry and rough skin and refines enlarged pores. I am totally sold when I see the last point as I have been working real hard to minimize my pores but still it is extremely visible. :( So, we shall see if this works like what it claims to.

BIO-ESSENCE MASK - Tanaka White, Snail and Bird Nest


I have used the Tanaka range and the Bird Nest range a while ago but at that time, I was only trying out their trial size and I wasn't really awed by the product so I didn't purchase the original size ones. But, today while browsing the store, I bumped into these few mask and decided to just give it a try since I have not tried any mask from Bio-Essence. Hoping to see good results from them. :D

Miscellaneous Items - SIMPLE TRAVEL SIZED FACIAL WIPES, MAYBELLINE BABY LIPS (Dr. Rescue) and J&J BABY POWDER (Pickly Heat)

My thoughts:
These are some of the other products that I have sneak it into my shopping cart towards the cashing counter :P I bought the simple facial wipes. Have been using these off and on as and when I apply makeup and this is one of the facial wipes that didn't break me out as well. 

Have heard good reviews about Maybelline baby lips and plus point is that it contains SPF30 which will work great when I am out under the sun during vacation. :)

Also, J&J pickly heat , I supposed it's a new product. I have been a big fan of baby powder since young. And I apply it at the back of my body to prevent rashes and also to keep pimples from popping up. And this stuff works :) The only thing I dislike about this product is the smell. It smells unlike any of the J&J baby powder, it smells more like medicine.. :) Anyway I am not really fussy about that as long as it works. 

FOOD


On my way back, I dropped by an organic shop to get these 2 items.

ORGANIC INSTANT BARLEY DRINK
This is actually more of a substitute for coffee. I am a heavy coffee drinker. I need to drink at least 2 cups a day and as a result my skin pays a hefty price for this addiction. I have extremely dry skin and that explains why I have large pores and oily T zone because my skin is dehydrated. So, I am making a promise to myself to stop drinking coffee and to drink this barley drink instead.

This is not my first time drinking this. I had finished a bottle previously. It taste more like charcoaled barley and hence, it taste abit like coffee :) I plan to have this together with honey. So, still thinking which honey I should get.

ORGANIC DRIED MIXED FRUITS & NUTS
This is my all time favorites. This is the first time I am trying the organic version but previously I was really a mix nuts junkie. So, in order to eat healthy, I have decided to switch from the 'Camel' brand I used to purchase to this organic ones.

I am a happy girl now after my shopping-therapy session. Time to have a good night sleep and will wrap up with a lovely quote below:
