dr. brandt microdermabrasion

When I opened and squeezed out the product, it first felt like a peeling gel and I scrub it with warm water- it hurts!

I will not be getting the full sized product - why? It hurts with people for sensitive skin and I didn't see much of a result afterwards.

To me, it's just a facial scrub best for oily skin.

But to some, it's one of the best scrubs while to others-it doesn't work.

My advice, get a sample before buying the full-size to see how your skin reacts to this product.

TonyMoly Fruit Princess Gloss 1 Strawberry

Besides the packaging, I'm not sure what's so great as this lip gloss product. It's sticky and not the best look on the lips. I applied it on top of lip tint when dried and it was ok. The type of material that's best to describe this is those cheap lip gloss that we would use when we were in primary school. Life is too short for not using the best lip gloss!

Scinic Honey Banana Cleansing Foam

Scinic Honey Banana Cleansing Foam


If you love bananas, this is your perfect cleanser.
At first it smells like banana-flavored taffy, but once you use a cleansing foam brush, you can feel the smell of real bananas. It does the job of cleansing, but it's not my favorite cleanser.
It's light, but for some reason, I don't feel as if all the dirt and make-up of washed off my skin.
After a weekend of using it, I just couldn't stand the smell of bananas anymore. I gave it to my sister.

   

MISSHA Time Revolution Night Repair Science Activator Serum 50ml

  

MISSHA Time Revolution Night Repair Science Activator Serum 50ml

Instead of getting the popular Time Revolution Night Repair Science Activator Ampoule, I decided to go on a limb and get the lesser known Time Revolution Night Repair Science Activator Serum. It smells like baby powder. The translucent color makes you think that there's a lot of good ingredients in this bottle of magic serum. No change after a week of using it after the Hera Age Away intensive water (toner) at nights. I don't see any whitening or anti-wrinkling effects afterwards a couple of weeks. Plus I don't think this serum moisturizes enough so it won't be a repurchase for me.

  


       

Hanyul skincare mini reviews

 
Hanyul Rich Effect Gift 5 items - My mother seem to love this kit. The purple line is the anti-wrinkle line from the brand.
 
Hanyul Anti-Aging Duo (2Items) - serum and cream
The cream has a very light medicinal floral scent which I love. It's very light weight however I will not re-purchase this line.

Rice Essential Skin Softener - very silky and smooth feeling as a toner for my skin.

Rice Essential Skin Emulsion - my favorite emulsion during the winter, but might be a bit oily for combination skin during the summer!

Geuk Jin Emulsion - used this one beofre the rice one, thought it was ok. Rice is better.

Optimizing Serum

Shin-ri Tae Anti-Aging Cream - light cream almost like an emulsion. firms well.

HERA CC Cream SPF35 30ml #23

HERA CC Cream SPF35 30ml #23 - $40

Yes, I splurged on this CC cream.
My first CC cream that I ever brought so why not start with one of the best known. I'm not disappointed and will purchase it again!

Improves moisture, skin brightens. I use this as a base or primer before applying cushion foundation on top. It has a pump so customers will be happy because it limits the mess.

   

Moisturizing - It does make my skin look healthy.
Coverage - It has a medium coverage. I used a cushion foundation over it.
Wear - You don't feel like you are wearing BB cream on your face.
Dewy Glow - There is a shiny dewy look.
Lasting Power - It last about my whole 8 hour work shift.
Oxidizing - yes
Scent - pleasant usual Hera Scent

    

HERA Age Away Intensive Emulsion 120ml and HERA Age Away Intensive Water 150ml

The Hera Age Away line is more for people in their 30s, but I just wanted to try it out during this wintertime. The  Intensive Water aka toner is hard to get out of the bottle without shaking the bottle hard. It absorbs through the skin fast. I don't have much to say about this product besides using it as a third cleansing product.

 
However, I'm in love with the emulsion. But I use it once every other day because it has a thicker texture than most emulsion.
It has the perfect texture for an combination skin type person during the winter time. If you have dry skin, you will love this all season. This also helps with fine wrinkles and I do see that my skin is well moisturized after each usage.

China - $49 Nine-day Jiangnan Deluxe Gourmet Tour - Days in Suzhou and on the way back to Shanghai

Day 8 - Suzhou and  back to Shanghai. The silk. We stayed at the Crowne Plaza Shanghai Pudong

 

 

Entrance and Exit of Tianfeng Temple

 

 

A nice afternoon walk in the park

 

  

A lot of writings and slogans where you can read and think about life and gather all the wisdom being offered

  

This was the Silk Manufacture that they brought us for them to make profits from us gullible customers. The silk was nice but if they didn't have "Chanel" spelled as "Cahnel" than maybe I would have brought the $55 silk scarf haha. I really like the long neck silk scarf, but too many spellings on them.

 

Our lunch that was sponsored by the silk manufacture place.

  

Since I love jade our second to last stop was this interesting jade place. We met the talented artists and some students of his (who carved all the designs) and some people from our tour brought some of this jade designs.

A way to end our China tour and the last stop where we need traditional healing from traditional medicine. They provided us each with a really good foot massage and "your health consultation" based on your feet and hands (and face). Strangely enough they were close in pinpointing something medical imbalance issue I had but since my luggage was unexpectedly filled with stuff and could not fill anymore I declined their "prescribed medicine" that they offer for sale. I really liked their "medical" and healthy dinner that they sponsored.
