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!

Magazines GWP

Hello! I bought these 2 magazines some time back and thought of sharing it here.

First up is Steady magazine from Japan - April EditionIt came with a free HbG lunch tote/tote. It looked quite big on the cover but when opened, it is actually kinda small. It's more like a lunch tote. HbG stands for HamburGirl.

Sorry for the blurry photo!

The print up close.

Some features in the magazine.

Another magazine that I got, just for the sake of the GWP.

Singapore Tatler came with a free L'Occitance box of goodies.

There are 3 items: a body cream, a Radiance Cleansing Foam and a bar of the golden branch soap. It smells really delicious. Something I would associate with butter cream. =)

I have been missing in action due to some happenings in my family but I can say that I'm definitely back for more beauty blogging. I've been a silent reader for the past few months with a couple of comments here and there. Did you guys notice? ;)

Nail Polish & Magazines Haul

I got some really cheap nail polishes at Tg Pagar MRT station on Wednesday. The polish was going for $1 each!! I also got a base, top coat, nail art pen and glitter nail art polish.

The base and top coat was $5 for both. The nail art pen that i got could create 3-D type of design, which is something new that i learned about. From the photo it looks like blue but actually it's purple. The glitter polish was in gold.

The $1 nail polishes:


Look at this bottle, with a big diamante on top. Kawaii!


The SA also recommended this Cuticle Revitaliser Oil, which i find quite effective. Although the brand on it states OPI but i doubt it's original. It costs only $10 for 3 (i got it together with the other 2 nail art polishes).


It came with a Stila Lip Glaze type of brush, which is quite neat! No spilling.


Some magines with GWP.

Chic Magazine, only $2.80, with a nail polish GWP:


I chose the color Star Coral 12077:


Sweet Japanese Magazine, with Charlotte Ronson makeup pouch and matching scrunchie in leopard print ~ Lurve

Really 'sweet'~~


Finally, a Hello Kitty mook, it is so so so adorable!


I have not opened it yet, so just took a close up photo of how the bag looks like:

I really should stop spending anymore $ this month. I am very broke now. This happens to me whenever mid/end of the month approaches. =(
