Oatmeal Face Mask

Something I learnt off an internet site...


1) What you need?

Ingredient ONE
OATMEAL
Oatmeal is very good for minor skin irritations caused by sensitivies to certain skin care products, chemicals or the environment. It also helps to balance your skin's moisture.


Ingredient TWO
HONEY
Honey is good to treat minor acne problems and also acts as a good moisturizer.


Ingredient THREE
YOGURT

Yogurt helps to reduce redness caused by irritations of inflammations from acne. (Mild acne)

2) Directions

Mix two tablespoon of oatmeal, two tablespoon of yogurt and a teaspoon of honey in a clean bowl

Mix the ingredients together until it becomes a paste. (Add a little warm water about a teaspoon if necessary)

Hmmmm ...... YUMMM!! NOT!

Slap the paste all over your face evenly.

VERDICT - 2/5 lippies

I didnt really like it. Didnt make my face feel so soft or anything. I do have very sensitive skin so maybe my face was not recetive to some of the products...although natural...it didnt seem to work for me.

However, I do know of many people who have claim that this mask is WONDERFUL. So why not try it for yourself. Its not expensive and if you dont like it you can eat the ingredients bought afterwards...HAH!!

Have fun trying!!

Talent

Talent is so superficial nowadays. Meaning. Being beautiful = TALENT. LOAD OF BULL.

Want to see real true talent?? Click HERE

Never ever judge a book by its cover. EVER. I mean lets admit that this person is not physically fortunate (looks department) but her voice is huge and it is quite amazing! Kinda makes you want to dance around on top of a hill with wind blowing in your hair...hahaha...well kinda..

First reactions when I first saw her

Dress: Ugly
Hair: Needs help DESPERATELY
Attitude: Someone I would want to have tea with, she looks like she makes good scones
Talent: Honestly, although she looks the way she looked, I actually thought that she knew what she was getting into. So thats why I was not amazed when she could do what she did and she did it reallllll well. BRAVO

So remember you beautiful people out there....I hate you I would so choose looks over talent..hahahahahahah...KIDDING...really I am...

Good on you Susan Boyle. Good on you.

All about Lip Balms

Hey Guys,

My lips are super dry here so I have been buying a number of lip balms in hope it might save my lips from being DEAD.

Lippie Balms Bought


Nivea Lip Care - LIGHT KISS


Pros
  • Cheap
  • Nice Sheer texture
  • Quite Moisturizing

Cons

  • I dont like the taste of it (think vanilla icing on your lips) its just weird for me
  • Doesnt last long, it goes off within like what 10mins!
  • I dont really like pot balms, its very troublesome

Verdict

Its teh-na-na (2 out of 5 lippies)


Carmex (For Cold Sores)

Ok so I dont think many of you would get this in Singapore, I dont think many Singaporeans or people living in Singapore had the unfortunate experience of dealing with a cold sore. I DID. AND IT SUCKED.
Basically this balm is to help reduce cold sores on your lips and let me tell ya guys, if you ever have it BUY THIS. It totalllllly helps. Like within 2 days my lips were back to normal.
Pros
  • Totally works

Cons

  • Ugly packaging (very medication like)
  • Again the whole pot balm thingy
  • Smells funky
  • I didnt care for the colour of the balm either

Overall Verdict

Ok doctor! I'll use it only when I have to! 4 out of 5 lippies (just coz it did helped my cold sore)



Nivea Lip Care - Strawberry Kiss

Pros
  • It smells AMAHH-ZING
  • Convenient
  • It leaves your lips looking slighty reddish pink
  • Healthy looking lips
  • Cheap

Cons

  • Hmmm, NONE I LOVE IT

Overall Verdict

WINNNNAH!! 5 OUT OF 5 LIPPIES!! YAY

Kiehl's Lip Balm #1


Pros

  • It really is Number 1, super moisturizing

Cons

  • I wished it came in a lipstick form, more convenient
  • The texture is like vaseline so your fingers gets a little eeky after
  • It is kinda pricy for a lip balm - I think S$15 for a tube?

Overall Verdict

If only it was cheaper 3.5 out of 5 lippies

Lucas Paw Paw Ointment

I was introduced to this when I first got to Australia. It's been my love since then.

Pros

  • Oh its just so super moisturizing, it soooo good
  • It looks so good on-top of lipstick, I know you can use other balms but this one makes your lips looks sooo yummy
  • Cheap

Cons

  • Its vaseline texture makes it a lil eeky on the fingers
  • I dont really care for the taste and smell (kinda funky)

Overall Verdict

WINNNNAHWINNER!! SUPER WINNER!! 6 OUT OF 5 LIPPIES

P.S: Those of you who would like to have it, just let me know. I can get some before I go home to Singapore.

So yes, that concludes my review on lip balms. Boring to some, totally exciting to me.

Till Then Chicas,

Skin Skin Skin

Heya Dollies,

Why am I so freaking obsessed with my skin. Seriously its an addiction. I am so sick of it! Ok I am lying, I love being obsessed about my skin. If only it was worth obsessing about. Anyhues, I went to a nearby mall a few days ago and chanced upon this ACNE thingy called Thermaclear Acne Device. Its soooooooo something I NEED. NOT A WANT A NEED.


BEHOLD - MY WISHLIST FOR THIS WEEK...(changes quite often)
THE ONE AND ONLY THERMACLEAR


What is it? (All info taken from http://www.shavershop.com.au/)
ThermaClear is the first acne clearing device in Australia. Using thermal energy to kill acne-causing bacteria, ThermaClear clears blemishes and pimples upto 4 times faster than leaving them untreated.
How does it work?
ThermaClear uses a short, controlled, and very targeted pulse of heat to neutralize the bacteria that causes the pimple, allowing it to heal faster. The thermal pulse triggers a dual-action response, neutralizing acne-causing bacteria from above, while also stimulating the body’s own acne fighting proteins from below. This dual mechanism fights pimples on two fronts, clearing them in as little as 24 hours.
Directions
I guess just zap the machine on your zit...heh...I am not sure YET...I am so determine to get it. (Oooo i heard it hurts when you zap your zits...that sounds promising O_0)
Price?
Sadly...its AUS$199.95....so I really need to save for this one...BUT I WILL...like i said...I NEED IT
Anyone wanna donate AUS$200.00? I'll accept!!! Hahahaha..mummy? hahahaha...j/k...
A relatively long but insightful review on this little must have. I want it so badly.
Sigh
Till Then my little beauty babies
