Recent Skin finds

In the past month I have been looking for a hydrating facial cream for night time, because I felt my Olay total effects isn't pulling its weight.

I found Innoxa thirsty skin for dry & flaky skin. Knowing me, my skin is no where near dry, its even oily in winter. But to my surprise this product worked really well for a night cream, it doesn't feel oily or heavy, and it really hydrates the skin at night. This is exactly what i wanted, and best of all it didn't break me out.
I recommend this for all skin types (use in autumn/winter nights for oily skin).
And along with this cream, I found a skin clear mask. This mask didn't make the cut for me, I guess is really average. This is because, I love natural home remedy masks, which at times works better then commercial products. So I will be using this mask, but wont be repurchasing.
Nail polishes I have really been enjoying are Sally Hansen hard as nails xtreme wear. I have wet cement, crushed and bamboo shoot. This range of nail polish is really long wearing, the picture is after a 6 days of applications and there is barely any chips. Only two coats is needed and when it drys and sets, there is really no budge. Two coats works the best because the first coat is still quite shire and anything more then two coats is a waste of time.
Another mask I tried is the Formula 10.0.6 deep down detox mask. I was interested because alot of gurus were raving about it. Its not a bad mask, but I only see my self using it when I'm just home from room full of cigarette smoke. And its kinda a piece of mind thing.
All I can say is it smells nice and it gives me the feeling that the bad stuff taken out (hate cigarette smoke), but i dont notice it actually doing anything except for sit on my skin and giving it a minty sensation (maybe that's a sign of performance).
I think is best to use a home remedy mask for detox, ie blueberry or strawberry mask crushed and mixed with natural yogurt.


Some products that I purchased recently but have not tried yet.


(Organic essence age-defying firming face cream)
I was looking for a anti-aging cream for my neck and chest area, there is a technical word but cant pull it out of my head.
Some women take really good care of their face, but the part that tells their age is their neck and chest. So prevention is key, that's why I'm using this product. Today is the first day using it, all i can say its really light weight and liking it so far.

And i know what your thinking, more make up??? Well yes.
I swatched them in store and the pigmentation was great, no wonder they call it HD. If you ever get the chance, go to Priceline and swatch it, you will be amazed, and for the price is practically a steal.
Just received my urban decay pallet. Did a little swatch, not amazed yet. I'm thinking of doing a bridal tutorial this week from this pallet, think that will work out well. See how I go.

On a lighter note, YY hates showers...
