Hauls: My Beauty Diary + Laneige

My skin has been horrible ever since I came back from Hong Kong. I guess the sudden change in moisture in the air made my skin break out.
This is a great time to pamper myself with the ton of skin care products I got from Hong Kong lol.

My Beauty Diary haul:

Mostly sheet masks of different scents I wanted to try. I also bought some smaller packages and other stuff to give away as souvenirs XD

Laneige haul:

Hahahaha. This was not even all of it... But this was not all from me. There was a sale going on, and my auntie and I went and spent like crazy. And some of this was for my mom, too =]

But you know... how needs real skincare products when you have apps that magically makes your skin flawless and glowing, right?

Lol... I was trying out an app that has a "magic skin" function:

Still playing with the app, I tried to see what I'd look like with short hair...

Anyway...
I'm planning to do reviews on the products once I get a chance to try them out.
So far, I've only tried the strawberry peeling gel and the make-up remover from Laneige and I am loving their products. Can't wait to try the other products!

A Little Something on Skin

*Ad

Here is a little something on skin and skin care that I found pretty interesting.
The infographic image is from Tanda Skin Care, which provides products on acne removal, including acne light treatment.

Because the image is quite large, I shrunk it to fit on the page.

Click on it to view it in full size:

It gives some some brief history on skin care history and some fun facts about your skin.
I can't believe people used to use lead to treat their skin O_O...
They even gave you a face toning exercise, which I thought would be fun to try. If you are ready to see me make weird faces, continue to read on haha.

So...
Here is me trying out that face toning exercise.

1. Raise eyebrows as high as you can and then relax them.

2. Twitch your nose from side to side...

which I couldn't really do and had to use my hand to help lol

3. Puff up your cheeks like you're blowing up a balloon and then relax.

(Poking puffy cheek)

4. Open your mouth as wide as you can and stick your tongue out as far as you can for 5 seconds.

Hahahaha. I hope you have enjoyed my faces!
Excuse me for looking so LG. I did not attempt to have my hair nice or dress up for these silly face photos.

Even if my face did not get toned after doing this exercise, it was fun LOL. Imagine someone walking in on your while you are doing this face exercise.

And if you have noticed... Yes, I redid my nails this afternoon.
I'll post a tutorial for it soon... Maybe next post =]
Hope you all had an enjoyable weekend!

Work = break outs?

My skin has been getting worse and worse even since I started work... this blurry picture taken with an iphone with my shaky hands is the only decent picture of me recently because it is so blurry you can't see my blemishes T_T. It's only been a couple of days since I've started working... it's like an explosion of break outs in just a few days!

I'm not sure if it's all the dust and debris from work that's causing all the break-outs, or if it's because of the stress of the presence of school and work... or maybe it's a combination of things.

I hope it clears up soon =(
