Moisturizing Cleansers

I need a moisturizing cleanser since my skin is quite dry from the pregnancy. I have been using the cleanse and tone from Nuskin, and I was happy with it, but I found something else that was a bit less expensive and both foam, and comes in pumps.  Nuskin Cleanse & tone, $38.

There is not much of a lather, but its gentle.

Fion, $20 at Takashima, or sasa.com. Made in Japan.

There is more lather, and its very soft. I will keep trying both products until I am out but so far I like this one better.

Eyeliner

I am an eyeliner kinda girl, and used many many different brands including Stila, Kat Von D, Dior, etc. My favorites always goes back to Japanese brands. My current favorite is this one and I got it from Takashima, i have it in both black and brown. Its high moisture, very sharp or thick, waterproof, and dries quick.

Argan Oil by Josie Maran

So i have been wanting to try this oil, from Sephora. I have dry skin in certain spots and so they had a sample size for $19 so I decided to try it. Its pretty nice, it moisturizes my skin and easy to put on and not oily feeling after. But, it doesn't do anything except moisturize, so i am not sure if i will repurchase for full size.

Eyeshadow for Work

So I got this new palette to wear for work. Its has all matte color, and I like it so far, very mellow colors.For the most part, i only use 2-3 colors, the middle 3. For smokey eyes, I can use the black. its really, really pigmented...

Dior Eyeshadow

I got this for my bday and I really love it. Never tried the dior eyeshadows before (expensive at $59!) but they are really shimmery without being too heavy.  The texture is light, and color is highly shimmery. The resulting color is quite flattering/natural and colors to me, specially when I didn't apply too much.

I went to sephora to see all the other colors and they are all so preeee-ty! Dont you just want to try one right now? or add this to your holiday wish list ? :D

Superior Whitening Serum

I have never used such an effective whitening product. This serum gives you immediate visible results. I started using White Secrets about 2 months ago and this is something that i will keep as my long term whitening product.

The serum has a capsule on top with Vitamin C powder and you activate the Vitamin C when you first open the bottle by pushing the powder down and mixing it with the serum. Once the serum is activiated it must be stored in the fridge and the serum must be used in 10 days. First use of the serum I see my face brightens overnight. I use it both in my morning and night routine after my toner. It's very easy to use and after leaving it in the fridge it gives a great refreshing feel becuase it's cold and feels so good on the face.

Immediate brightening and whitening is apparent during the first ten days. With the 2nd bottle, dark pigmentation will resurface but do not panic, that's just the serum breaking down the pigmentations and with continued use it will work its magic and whitens.  I had a dark spot after Caleb's birth and now, I don't. My freckles seem to have lighten and the overall skin tone have evened out and it does help hydrates the skin. I use it spot treatments on my scars and dark spots and I am very happy with the product.
