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

~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]

For the next one, i will be covering more on my fetish - Bath & Body Works Collection, partial collection of perfume (tooo many to put them up here), and other of chub-sucker's beauty buys.

Good Skin is God's Gift; Maintaining it is Man's Willing (Part 1)

Yes, thou shall not be too complacent about having good skin.

Good Skin is god’s gift of good genes. Well, chubs doesn’t have absolutely perfect skin, but at least it is a problem-free one.

Gonna share with you peeps on what i had use before or am still using now. Start raving the god-sent products and rantings the yeekies! Hehe!

I must say chubs is not exactly the usual girl who invest losta $$ on skin care – coz I was a lazy one and too complacent about having good skin. But…I do have my fair share of fetishes on Hand / body creams, shower gels, stuff from Bath & Body works, H&M, Kiehls and H2Oplus etc..etc…

=======================================================

Kudos and congrats to my bestie, Coco, the newly crowned Miss Chinese Sydney (悉尼华商小姐) for sharing losta dolling up tips (tho im still lazy cementing my face..hehe) And you are right, 世界没有丑女人，只有懒女人…!

=======================================================

Okie, Here’s [Chubs’ sinful collection], ranking #2 after chubs’ shoes collection.

Cellnique:

Originated from Malaysia, I was in fact a little skeptical until I had heaps of thumbs up from Flin, MJ and their friends about the wonders of it, so I tried it…..i didn’t regret a pin bit. Haha.

What it is: Cellnique pro sebum gel. Just massage into your t-zone and nose. Remember to regularly exfoliate your face for best results with pro sebum gel. Apply twice a day after your toner

What it does: Clears away your black heads/ white heads. AMAZING isn’t it?

Ladies will love this! Men…you too!

Available: You can buy them almost all pharmacies, Watsons, Guardian and Sasa in Malaysia. Sasa in Singapore carries it too but it’s a little (about S$7) more expensive. I bought mine in KL during MJ’s wedding. Uh-oh, unfortunately cant get them in Sydney =(

Yays Or Yeeks: Yays! It works!! Chubs saw results in 10 days of usage. Chubs’ nose is squeaky clean!

Great for people like me…who doesn’t go for facials AT ALL coz im afraid of the pricking and squeezing!! *gasps*

Not too sure if it will still works if you go beyond the second bottle tho, coz MJ said, she is seeing less effect when she moved on the 2^nd bottle. We shall see =)

=============================================

H2O plus:

I simply love H2O plus, was conquering my vanity space in Sydney. Everything from head to toe is from H2O. Here’s some of the stuff I have (cant finish all here)

Eye Oasis: Really gooooooood! It is light for tropical use and yet enuff moisture to hydrate your eye area

Eye Mender restorative firming treatment: Thumbs up!! Use it after the eye oasis for maximum results.

Renewing microexfoliant: Not too bad! Tho I still love the Kiehls one more..

Sea mineral mud mask: Not bad too. Always carry it in my travel pouch

Waterwhite brightening mask: THUMBS UP! Cleans your face really well. Have been using this since 1999. Works perfect in the tropics as well as Down Under and the West sides…

Etc..

Here are the rest that I always brought along in my travel pouch for my business trips:

Pumice foot scrub: total relaxation after my day ended

Sea mineral scrub: It serves as an exfoliate as well. Very refreshing!

Sea salt body wash: I alternate this with my Bath and body Works Shower gel

Marine Toner: This is so-so only, I prefer my Kose Grandain and Bobby Brown’s Toner

Marine Daily Hydrator: Nice! But only in Sydney. S’pore’s too humid, I feel uncomfy soon.

Hydrating Body Butter: Perfect!! I use this a lot in Sydney as well as Europe business trips where the air is dry. Actually, it works okie in tropical countries.

Marine Cleansing gel: okie….i don really like this….this has already retired into the drawers, out of my pouch already.

Etc..

Yays Or Yeeks: Overall, a BIG YAYS! But of coz, there are some products in which I have to discontinue when I’m in Singapore coz the weather is humid and I feel all sticky (tho it is a water based product). Thank goodness my fav products are still on my vanity table when I moved back to Singapore from Sydney.

======================================================

LaneigeWater Sleeping Pack Plus:

Cant live without this!!! Apply this every night without fail and wake up the next morning with fabulous face. It is so hydrated (yet, doesn’t feel oily etc) you can actually feel that you skin is so boing boing hehe. Another product that i cant live without. I love night water packs as it nourishes and hydrates my skin when im resting (our body’s skin repairs happens usually 9 to 11pm) but not every product is good. I tried Clinique’s. It was great! But only in Sydney and Europe. In Singapore, I still feel a lil greasy when I wake up the next day.

Laneige works best! Doesn’t feel Danish Pastry when I wake up every morning.

Yays or Yeeks: Thumbs Up!! Cant live without it! Try it peeps!

=================================================

Bobbi Brown

I seldom use Bobbi Brown’s product as I felt my face being greasy after I went into the sun (I hate being in the sun anyway….) However, I must emphasized that the product is actually not bad if used in les humid countries.

Well…I bought a whole lot of stuff including Bobbi Brown’s product at the Estee Lauder sale coz Cynthia works as the Brand Manager for La Mer and Bobbi Brown, so…perhaps I should try BB’s stuff again.

Lip Balm: ohh..this is simply wonderful. And the packaging is shiny so you can use the reflective surface as a mirror. Used this during my stay in Greece – I must say, it is quite good. Moisturizing, yet doesn’t look greasy.

Brightening Facial Water: This is darn good especially when I came back from Greece looking sooo tanned. It did help to sooth out my face’s skin tone. When im lazy, I use this like a toner too…hehe!

Brightening Essence: I only use this at night as it gives me a greasy feel after like 3 hours. Gives good result when used with the Brightening Facial Water.

Oil-Free Even Finish Compact Foundation: Oops…I haven’t use it yet. Haha. Coz im a hardcore Ettusias supporter when it comes to make up. Nevertheless I bought this at the sale coz its cute! It is actually pasty-looking when in the container but when you apply on your face, it turned powdery. The coverage is good and remains smooth on the skin. Not bad, so I bought it. If not for these reviews….i forgotten that I have yet to open this pack yet. Hohoho!

Yays Or Yeeks: Well….i will give it a 50-50. I don’t mind using it occasionally during my business trips where weather is less humid and colder, which allows my face to be better moisturize yet not feeling greasy.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So much for Part 1. Chub’s just returned from business trip. There are more products that i have from the brands above - juz no time to finish all of them.

Stay tune to this space in the next blog of Good Skin: God's Gift or Man's Willing

Okie...trying to squeeze all of them in

My fav H2Oplus! Partial of them.
