Powdery whitening product

Extreme C, in powder form is my latest whitening product and THE most expensive one I've ever bought.  Five years ago, I wouldn't bat an eyelid on such expensive product. But, now I need one desperately.  My face is becoming spotty for the wrong reason.

This product is supposed to be for spot areas only.  I was advised not to turn on the fan when I am applying it for fear of being blown by the wind.  So precious....every grain counts..

Hopefully I can see real results.

A gift from an ex-colleague

This pair of ear-ring is a gift from an ex-colleague. She was the one whom I bought those Swarovski jewellery from.  This simple piece was made by her.

Farewell to My office wardrobe series - Part 3

I would celebrate if I could still fit in this piece of dress.  This dress was bought something like 10 years ago to usher in the Chinese New Year.  It's a rather 'Chinese' dress, as you can see from the oriental wave feature at the hem of the dress.  I also like the Chinese feature being balanced with some fiery red flowers (red is a prosperous colour for Chinese) and yet not so oriental. 

In the office, I wore this under a black cardigan or jacket.  A nice piece for formal as well as casual functions too.

My collection of Swarovski jewellery - Part 3

 This choker with only a small piece of Swarovski bead around the pink Czech beads makes heads turn when worn with a matching dress. I used to match this piece when I wore either a purple or a pink top.  I remembered having inquisitive eyes falling on my choker to figure out the design of the pale pinkish beads surrounding the bigger pink Czech beads in the centre.

Attention is on the four-piece pink beads weaved together in the centre.  By the way, this choker looks demurely beautiful on a wearer's slim neck.  On days when I 'over-indulged' in binging, I would stay away from having this on my meaty neck.  It just took away the shine of this marvelous piece.

Freebies of cleanser

Two bottles of UltraCalming Cleanser worth about RM170 each bottle when you renew your membership. What a deal! What's the catch here? The products move too slowly, that's all I can think of. In all my 14 years as a member, I've not enjoyed such good bargain.

What chemicals do you put on your face every morning?

1. Cleanser
What a nice and fresh feeling when you cleanse your oily face with this cleaning agent? And I love gel or foam based one which gives a 'cleaner' after-wash feeling.

2. Face Oil
Optional but I love the scent of this oil.

3. Multi active toner
One fundamental chemical for the face.

4. Firming booster
Something I bought quite some time already and have not been using.  Supposed to firm up stubborn lines. Perhaps, it's timely to use it to conceal those lines surfacing before they deepen.

5. C12 concentrate
To be applied on discoloured areas or all over, it takes a few bottles for effect to be shown but I have yet to see this as this is only my second bottle.

6. Multi-vitamin power cream
Claims to work wonders for the eye area but I apply on areas where creases appear deeper, not necessarily the eyes.

7. Moisturiser
A must-have for my dehydrated face (as labelled by my beauty consultant). I should apply more if I sleep in an air-conditioned room, so they say.

8. Sun block
I never leave home without this at daytime. I will come back with more unsightly pigmentation if I choose therwise.

My sweet indulgence


Emm...this is newly added to my list of sweet stuff I love.  Bought this from Cold Storage, Berjaya Times Square.  At RM7, this is certainly not cheap to add to the waistline.
