LOVE ▪ KISS ▪ MAGIC: June 2017

If you missed my earlier entry on my perfume collection, here you go: http://lovekissmagic.blogspot.sg/2014/07/my-perfume-collection.html

However, since then, I have included new additions to the collection.

Moschino Fresh Eau de Toilette: Yes, I did buy it cause I was sucked into the adorable packaging. Am not that big a fan of the actual fragrance. It smells too clean for my liking; I generally prefer a stronger, muskier scent.

Elizabeth & James Nirvana White: Big fan of this perfume. It was all the rage on YouTube so I know I had to snag it when I was visiting the States. I prefer this to the black version.

Jo Malone Wood Sage & Sea Salt: This has been on my perfume wishlist for the longest time and I finally laid my hands on it. Love the scent but it does not seem to last long on me, unfortunately.

Versace Bright Crystal: I like this scent - nothing distinctive though; just very much a typical lady's perfume. The scent does last long on me though, which not many fragrances can.

SK-II Facial Treatment Essence

Introducing my absolute HOLY GRAIL...

SK-II's signature product, the much-loved and most awarded bestseller, Facial Treatment Essence, has over 90% Pitera. Pitera™ is a clear liquid rich in vitamins, amino acids, minerals and organic acids. It's the miracle ingredient discovered over 35 years ago that remains essentially unchanged till today. SK-II Facial Treatment Essence helps to improve the appearance of 5 dimensions of beautiful, crystal clear skin: spots are less visible, appearance of wrinkles is reduced, skin texture is more refined, firmness is improved, and radiance is beautifully elevated. Its irreplaceable formula gently exfoliates the face and helps moderate the skin surface renewal cycle. Replenishes skin's moisture to help prevent skin dryness. Helps smoothen skin surface texture for soft & smooth skin. Helps moderate skin's renewal cycle. Penetrates better than a cream.

Tea Paradise

Pacifica Beauty Enlightened Gloss Natural Mineral Lip Shine

Was searching for a natural shimmery nude lip gloss that doesn't contain a whole bunch of awful ingredients. Chanced upon this from the Pacifica brand - Pacifica Beauty Enlightened Gloss Natural Mineral Lip Shine. Bought it off iHerb and love it.

It is not overly-sticky though I have to confess that strands of my hair get stuck on my lips when the wind blows. The shade is also very flattering for my lips and matches my skin complexion well.

In case you're wondering, some other shades in the line include:

Physician's Formula Butter Bronzer

Excellent product - smells nice too!

South of France hand soap

Acure Organics Repairing Conditioner

A mediocre conditioner, but very wallet-friendly.

Pacifica Dreamilt Under Eye Brightener

Hydrating brightening liquid coverage that leaves skin looking energized, radiant and wide awake. Reflective, brightening minerals and natural beneficials minimize dark lines and dark circles.

EOS Cucumber Hand Lotion

What can I say? EOS never disappoints! Adore their lip balms and hand creams.

Caolion Pore Tightening Memory Sleeping Mask

Pore Tightening Memory Sleeping Mask is formulated with a shape memory technology that helps maintain youthfulness by tightening pores and enhancing elasticity, resulting in smoother and firmer skin. It features a cooling benefit that promotes soothing and lifting effects. Wake up to a refreshed, brighter, firmer complexion with this deep hydrating sleep mask that works overnight as you sleep.

I am a HUGE FAN of this mask. I apply a dollop of it (about the size of a SGD$0.20 coin) at night, twice weekly, and wake up to skin that is tighter and smoother. Face feels more moisturised in the morning and pores are visibly less obvious. If you're thinking of purchasing - wait no more!
