Do You Scrub?

Do you scrub?  How often should you scrub?

Yes we live in a hectic world.  We have enough time just to do the basic, short of not bathing, not brushing teeth, not washing your face and hair...
I can fully apprehend especially with coco in my life now.  I raced for every single minute of my life to make the fullest use so that i can have some "mine" time.  It's amazing that I still have time to write! Perhaps that helps to keep me "connected".
Scrubbing / exfoliation is as basic as washing your face.  To me it's basic hygiene.  I know many skip the scrub due to "no - time", "i go for facial", "no necessary" etc.  But NO you need to scrub, at least twice a week.  That helps to remove grime that has settled deeper into your pores.  Yes, your beautician may be able to help clear the pores, but deep rooted black heads remover may "hurt" your pores.  Most importantly one should not deprive your skin of oxygen it needs to breathe.  With all blackheads and sebum settling in the pores, how healthy can your skin get?
The next time you skip scrubbing your face, think again.

(Having said the above, caution, not to over-scrub!)

Colours Review

Opps the eye shadow was a bit of of a let-down.  Staying power is there but colours are not vibrant / vivid enough.  Nonetheless i am not fast to conclude. Let me try on a few more rounds and the other set of colours before i cold-storage them.

Colours


I bought new colours - eye shadows, i mean.  Am on a self-imposed tight budget due to over-spending over the past, er, i-can't-recall months.  I have been over-spending that's a fact that i hate to wake up to.  My soon trip to the States is not helping me with cashless anxiety.
So now am looking for quality items at lower price.  Bought these 4 colours as they are so pretty, so usable and so cheap.

I also like the fact that the manufacturing date is printed at the back of the product, this indicates how "fresh" the product is.  Thought this is an thoughtful and responsible act of the manufacturer.  Generally the shelf life of cosmetics and skincare is about 2 to 3 years. 

In my next post will share with you the staying power and colour quality (intensity) of my new venture.  Stay tuned.
