[Good Skin's God's Gift; Maintaining it's Man's Willing]


You can read Part I here (click) I am repeating some brands here coz some of the products below are newly stocked =)


~have been really lazy writing my blog (other than those silly test that i did of blogthings haha) So..here's Part II of what i have procrastinated




H2Oplus:


Click name to view website

As I have previously mentioned, certain products from H2Oplus suits the humid tropics. These are the few that I could continue using in Asia includes - The Marine Toner, Face Oasis, Aquafirm restructuring eye cream. They are not too rich - and you wont feel sticky. I must admit, this Aquafirm restructuring cream isnt as good as the previous one that i used The whitening mask, handcream, scrubs, body butter etc that i had covered in Part 1 of my review was definitely my favourites!


Generally, still on my constant-stock-up-list. However, these 2 products are good for tropical countries - it will not be moisturized enuff for European countries - for that, i will recommend Kiehls.




Kiehls (Click to view website)



Ah yes....Kiehls - what would i be without Kiehls. It's gotta be my favourite and i cant live without it. Be it in Europe or Asia - it works well. Hmm..okie, the moisturizer is a lil richer, but still bearable for humid countries. If you are Down Under or in Europe - make sure you have these with you to prevent your skin from being dry.


Peeps in Sydney, fret not, you can get it in 4 locations. Most of my frens stayed in eastern suburbs - hmmm..seems like all 4locations are near you peeps! Click here to see the locations



  • Bondi - hah! After brekkie by the beach, pop in to the Bondi Junction's Westfield
  • Paddington - Ahh~~ Top the trip up with a nice hot choco at Max Brennars. There is one under Kiehls itself and one under Mecca
  • Chatswood Chase - Ahh~~~ Siu Lak - BBQ pork noodies at the Hongkee restaurant or have tea and snacks at Tian Ren Ming Cha. Yum!!!

OKie...the products


Micro-Dermabrasion:


Oh...girls you'll love this!! This scrub is gentle and works darn well! Peeps who have VERY senstive skin may wanna have patch test - you might get a little pinkish red after using - not that you are not suitable, juz that your skin reacts more sensitively then the usual peeps. And girls - you aint using Nappy San, pls DONT rub it so hard like you are getting rust outta a rod - it's skin we are talking about - Be gentle


Those of you using celnique - remember to exofliate your face about 3 times a week, so that celnique will work its best to DESTROY your black/white heads.


My love for it: (yes...full rating is 5)

Ultimate Strength Hand Salve


This handcream is supposed to be for very dry hands - good for office coz my working pad is simply insane - its obscenely cold!


However, this is one product from Kiehls that I don really swear by it. Well...i personally like handcream that smells nice (Peeps who know me knew that I am a handcream addict! They are always within reach - in the office, in the car, by my bedside, in my bag )


Well...i have thus left this handcream on my workstation in office and bought a St Michael's Lily hand lotion - the number of times i pump it in 30 minutes is juz amazing. haha! Perhaps twice in 30 minutes... The one in my bag is now Crabtree & Evelyn's Gardeners Hand Therapy - Smells GREAT and its so smooth! My new addiction.


My love for it:


Kiehl's Hand & Body Lotion - Grapefruit


Yes! It MUST be Grapefruit coz it smells wonderful and very moisturizing! Tho i must say the Crabtree one is a lil more moisturizing - but i still love the Kiehl's Hand lotion. It is non sticky and your hands stay soft and moisturized for a long time - maybe about 1.5 ~ 2 hours. But of coz...being addictive, i still pump it a couple of times in an hour. hee~


Love for it:



Ultra Facial Moisturizer


This moisturizer is for all skin types and it gets absorb in the skin really fast and your skin becomes smooth. If your skin is a oily and you stay in humid countries - do not put too much coz you might feel a lil "sticky". on the whole, it is still okie. It's always in my bag when I am in Europe coz it suits the dry climate PERFECTLY well. Your skin feels boing boing and silky soft. I only use this weekends when I am in singapore coz i don wan to feel sticky - coz i will be putting on sunscreen, make up base and liquid foundation with this - so, usually use this during weekends when i dont make up (when i stay home! hehe)


Love for it:



Brightening Botanical Essence


This is my latest addiction. Simply AWESOME! It gets absorbed very quickly leaving your skin silky smooth. You WONT feel sticky at all. The results are very obvious, especially when you use it at night, and the following morning, you are juz stunned on how your skin tone had improve by a lil. It's amazing, really.


This highly concentrated essense also contains Vit C and White Flower Extract, smells great and it helps to brighten our face too. It's a small bottle (pump), 50ml, cost S$85 - but it is worth it.


My love for it:



Kiehl's French Rosewater


This Rosewater soothes our skin - basically....juz that function. heee. Its great if you use it as a face and body freshner, it really frenshens up the skin.


I used this after i wash my face, settled in a lil before i used the botanical essense. It even have rose petals in it! hee...sounds like a good concoction, isnt it?


I used this on Summer too. She has sensitive skin and i applied this on her to calm her skin down. Its rose anyway...Kiehl's has products for pets too, juz that i don see them in the shops here. But Kiehl's website do feature the products for pets. Anyway...Summer dont consider herself as "a pet" - she is a family (human) member. duh.


My love for it:





My My! I wrote so much and I have only covered 2 brands. Stay tune to the 3rd series of [Good Skin's God's Gift; Maintaining it's Man's Willing]
