Magazine Freebie & Simple Review of Etude House Cleansing Foam

Cleo August issue comes with a free Nuxe Aroma-Perfection Purifying Cleansing Gel.

Lady Gaga was on the cover

200ml bottle with a pump nozzle

It is suitable for combination and oily skin (that's my type of skin!)

I've used this for a couple of times and the result is ok. Not too fantastic as my face does get oily after awhile, albeit not as oily as usual.

-----------------------------------

Just wanted to do a simple review on the below cleanser as well.

Etude House Happy Teatime Cleansing Foam in Green Tea

After using this cleanser for a couple of weeks, i find that it really helps to control my skin's oil and sebum production. Eventhough it is not a high end brand, the result is really good. It smells great, something like a lemon-y type of smell, instead of green tea. It foams easily when lathered with water. After washing, my face feels clean and not too dry. If comparing this with the Clarins Cleansing Foam with Cottonseed, i would say this is the better choice. Another plus is that it is not too pricey. I think it is below SGD20.

Anyway, for the past week, my face feels smoother. I was thinking that it might be the effect of using the 2 below samples from Clarins:

Clarins Multi-Active Day (Early wrinkle correction cream-gel)

Clarins Multi-Active Skin Renewal Serum

I'm not sure what are the retail prices but i'm guessing it can be around SGD100? Still considering if i should get one of it..hmmm...

Thanks for reading!

My HG Cleanser

Hello..It's Saturday but sadly i'm working again! I even need to work tomorrow. =(

Anyway, I wanted introduce you to my HG cleanser, which i've been using for a couple of years now. In between, I did change to other brands but my HG is still the best.

Clarins Gentle Foaming Cleanser with Cottonseed

The description on the box

This is a new packaging/formula which was launched i think early of 2009? Previously it's just a gentle foaming cleanser withOUT cottonseed. The one that i use is for normal to combination skin. It is not drying and really cleans the face. As compared to the cleanser from Lancome, Clarins' is so much better. Love it!

As I have really bad skin, I need to go for my monthly facial to ensure it will not get worse. When I was in my teens, i had a bad case of acnes. This left scars on my face which are still visible now. My face also have lots of freckles which i am very worried about. Nowadays, i mostly get blackheads and whiteheads on my face, especially when i am stressed or tired due to work. The place i go to for my indulgence is Adonis. It's a local brand in Singapore and have expanded to other countries like Malaysia and Hong Kong.

The facial comes in packages that you can purchase e.g. 10 times, 20 times, 30 times, etc. One thing which i don't like about them is that the beauty consultant always persuade you to take an expensive package or buy their products. Unfortunately, i have a soft heart and did buy some stuff from them. -_-'''

Phyto Mask and Phyto Serum

According to the BC, these range can help to even my skin tone, lighten my freckles, etc (which i can't really remember). I really hope it will do all the magical things to my face but one thing i can say is that Adonis is really suitable for my skin. The ingredients are usually plant based.

As i was in Vivo City, thought of dropping by MAC to have a look and went home with something.
