Attack of the moisturisers!!

yd is damn lazy but she finally decided to sit her ass down to do this. hee.


NIGHT moisturisers!!

my aunt said tt moisturising is the most impt step in skin care cos it'll keep the lines away. so i've been investing in good (no make that expensive) night moisturisers since a few years ago. i first used clinique. i don't know what it's called cos it was an old product and they have stopped the line. i bought from arts vanity fair for only $20! and it was really good! it made my skin luminous and translucent. and i hardly had pimples while using it. was really damn sad when they stopped the range.
after that, i started using clinique derma white moisture milk. it's meant for combination to oily skin. it wasn't as good as it's predecessor and pimples started growing.. =( but i think it still served it purpose to moisturise. but it only comes in 30ml bottles which i think is quite silly.

price: i think abt 60. shld be $56.
rating: 7/10

i switch to estee lauder's cyber white overnight white renewal creme when i bought my infamous estee lauder make up set. wanted to switch brands cos i thought estee lauder is quite a mature brand tt i cld use till i'm old. the lady told me it can be used on all skin types but since it's a creme, i still think it's too oily for me. so when i wake up in the morning, sometimes there's like a clear layer of oil on my face. damn gross!! -_-" haha. and i think it's too thick for me so it clogs up my pores and gives me more pimples. but it'll probably be good for those with dry skin! will switch after i finish this bottle. one 50ml bottle has lasted me 4.5 months. will probably last me another 1 mth or so.

price: $220
rating: 6/10 for me. (may be higher for ppl with dry skin)

next, i'll be using diorsnow. haha my step sis bought a small sample bottle for me from hk. it's 15ml. will update with reviews in a few weeks! and so u all shld haf realised i haf an obsession with whitening products. i want to stay fair cos i think tan skin will age faster! that's why snow white still looks so young despite being like 500 years old or sthg. hahahaha. but i really don't think any of the products have made me fairer. the most they have done is to ensure i dun get tanner. oh wells! so the search for the perfect night moisturiser continues! =)

and now for DAY moisturiser!!

now currently using simple hydrating light moisturiser. chose this bcos i've been using simple facial wash and toner for years.. i don't use it daily cos i don't like to use moisturiser in the morning cos my skin will feel oily after awhile. but i'll apply this before wearing make up. like a protective layer before i pour poison on my face. haha. it's really quite light so it's good for my oily skin. =) however, when i tried to use it at night to moisturise my neck (victoria beckham said the neck is the first to show signs of aging so MUST moisturise!!), i realise that my neck started to grow lil pimples. so i figured it's still not light enough for my neck?!! hahaha. damn troublesome!
price: $6-11. depending whether u buy from neighbourhood shop or guardian. haha.
rating: 7/10


previously, i was using l'oreal hydrafresh. i like the smell!! very refreshing! and it goes well as a make up base too. but i haven't tried it on the neck. another bad thg is i dun like the design of the bottle cos it's a pump n u feel like u can't get that last drop out. haha. yeaps. but still generally a light n refreshing moisturiser for day!

price: shld be same as the simple one.
rating: 7/10

phew!! that took a long time to compose! hope u all had fun reading! muacks! =)
