Updates on What I Want -

I made some recent updates on what I want list on the left hand panel.

My new list includes:

Dr. Sebagh Pure Vitamin C Powder Cream -

This cream can correct your skin tone, lighten up your skin; hence it can make your skin look yonger and brighter.


Guerlain Perfect White  -  this is another product that can brighten skin, and reduce marks or darker tone of the skin. Return your skin to it youthful color. 


Paul and Joe Foundation primer - It's a protective Foundation Primer. It smoothes and hydrates the skin while preventing damage caused by UV rays.  Paul and Joe's beauty products became really popular in Japan. I see them in the same category with Jill Stuart and Anna Sui. Good quality products with princessy packaging. Products always smell pretty and perfect for creating a doll look that Aisans love. But this foundation primer is good to create a flawless skin and preventing sun damage. So, it's on my wish list for my next shopping trip.

my summer skin care routine

Here is one of my skin care routines in the summer when I feel my skin is dirty or oily:

1. Facial Scrub - I am using Fresh brown sugar facial polish

Leave it on for 8 - 10 minutes, then gently wash it off while massaging the face ( very gently, as if you are massaging tomatoes. --- I am serious!)



2. Spray toner  - I am using Kiehl's Ultra Facial Toner



3. Apply deep Cleansing Mask - I am using Borghese mud mask

You don't need a lot. It's quite expensive. So, as long as you have your face fully covered, you are good.
Wash it off when it's almost dry (before it is completely dry). Mud mask is especially good in the summer because they can clean the pores better than any other types of mask. ) Use the sponge that comes with the mask to wash the half dried mask off.


4. Apply serum.

I like the Janssen Skin Excel. It's for professional use. I have my sources...  ^_^ I only apply half of the tube at this step. I save the other half for the last step.

I am using the lifting effect packet now.  They offer many different serums for many different effect. When I travel, I like to use repairing ones I used to use this serum once a week the most. But, recently I am doing a "boot camp" to rejuvenate my skin, so I am using it twice a week.





5. Apply nutrition boosting masks - 

I use the collagen rubber mask now for the last step. This is also a professional product. It's a bit hassle to use as you have to mix the mask yourself before applying. But, I promise the result is definitely worth the effort!



You only need 2-3 scoops






add water ( 1 - 1) and mix it well


Apply on your face. Wait for 10- 15 minutes until the mask is completely dried and hardened. Then you can pell it off. Let me show you my "product"  ^_^


COOL EH?

6. Finally apply the other half of the serum in the tube. And don't forget eye cream.

Then, I AM DONE!

I usually do this once a week. But, if needed, you can do it every 2-3 days in the summer!

What is beauty?

Normally, I only write about outer beauty. But, i truly believe that to be beautiful, only looking beautiful is not enough. Being beautiful is a religion, you have first believe in it. The practice being a beauty from within is the key to the religion. Out appearance is a reflection of who we are. Look like a doll, act like a beast, won't make you a beauty.  

Believe that you are beautiful no matter if you have the right make-up on or not.

Believe that you are beautiful no matter if you have the right jeans on or not.

Believe that you are beautiful no matter you are size 10 or size 0.

Believe that you are beautiful because you can love yourself, your friends and family, and then everyone else that touches your life.

Believe that you can be a beautiful person inside out. Love will find its way into your open and kind heart. Angels are not the Victoria Secret models with wings. Angels are the middle-age size 14 lady working in soup kitchen handing food to the needs. 

In this society, we are constantly brain washed by the sex and materialism. The true beauty won't let the truth meaning of beauty become only skin deep.

Love you all my QBs..

Professional use mask


The best part of having a professional beautician at home is that I have access to products only accessible to professionals and not available on the market.

So, this is an example. After the skin excels, this product is my next favor: Collagen mask. It's powder form. You will have to mix it yourself with water before applying. After 15 - 20 mins, it will harden.

It is like a mini face lift. Very amazing. It is only available at beauty shop that only licensed beautician can shop at. My mom is my supplier of course.  They go for $85 for the large jar, but it is worth every penny of it.

If anyone likes to try, let me know. I have a whole jar here at home. If you want to get more after trying, I will have to charge you for it. LOL So, act fast!

Tarte

Tarte is a brand promises natural ingredients and vitamin-infused products. I must say after using several of their product, I do think the do have high quality standard for their product. 


From eye shadows to lipsticks, you can definitely tell the difference between their products and others. A friend of mine who does wedding make-up in the city recommended the brand as it is reliable especially on the big days!


Recently I came across their new product: Tarte EmphasEYEs eyeliner pencil. This product is interesting. It has very thin tip (thin pencil), so for those QBs who is not used to using eyeliner, this is a great beginner product. Also, many girls with single eyelid likes to draw their liner inside the lashes' roots or on waterline. This product can help you easily apply liner in those area,


It's also a great tool for smoky eyes. As it is so thin, you can gradually thickening the eye line and easily control how you want to shape your eye with the liner. 


Give a try, you won't regret it.




This is the eye shadow palette recommended to me by a make-up artist friend.

I am back~

I know I have been MIA for a few weeks. Between moving and jewelry show, I was completely swamped. I am back and I have lots of stuff to share now~ Stay tune QBs!!
