A Little Bit Of Everything

for this, that and everything else

Life has been throwing me more lemons than I can handle, but it didn't stop me from buying my first ever item(s) from Bath & Body Works. The PocketBac purchases were spurred on by my No.1 enabler @martemorphosis , whose Warm Vanilla Sugar PocketBac made me want to rush out and check out these babies. We finally got to one and I bought 3, which annoyed Paul*. "Now these small whatsits are going to be the next lip balm huh? You are going to lose them in the black holes of your handbags and make me buy you more." Oops! Also picked up some gummies for the family as we are one big gummy candy-loving household! I hope you have been having a wonderful weekend, and that you have all been well! #bathandbodyworks #pocketbac

This year, we ushered in the Lunar New Year sans the usual heatwave. Despite staying home due to my immobility, I still made an effort to slather on copious amounts of sunscreen - a current favourite is the Shiseido Anessa Perfect UV Sunscreen Aqua Booster SPF50 while the Dior Addict Lipgloss in Climax helped add a touch of red to my otherwise dull-looking CNY outfit! Thanks @lily_chloeash for the gifts! #366inskincare #366inbeauty #asianbeauty #rasianbeauty #abcommunity #abskincare #shiseido #sunscreen #diorbeauty #dioraddict

Happy Saturday! I recently received a huge gift package from @martemorphosis and decided to split the items up into separate posts so as not to bombard you with one lengthy post! Orbis' The Cleansing One is a recent discovery. We were given sample sachets, fell in love and immediately ran out to buy the full-sized bottle. In true #uptonogood nature, Tesa picked up another bottle + refill for me as she's well aware of my hoarding nature... I tend to panic when I'm running out of backups of my favourite products, especially if they aren't available here in Malaysia. Then there's the precious Dr. Ci:Labo Acneless Cleansing Cleansing Gel, which we suspect has been discontinued. I've only used it once, but the black gel provided much laughter in the bathroom as Paul* watched me massage the 'black stuff' all over my face. A very lovely cleanser that will be missed once we empty it! #thankyou #friendship #skincare #instabeauty #instaskincare #instadaily #366inskincare #366inbeauty #asianbeauty #rasianbeauty #abcommunity #abskincare #orbissg #drcilabo #drcilabosg #cleansers

In a rather strange twist of events, we found ourselves with almost nary a skincare item, bar these delectable goodies - albeit inedible - from one of the strongest persons we've never been so honoured to have met. Thank you @martemorphosis for saving me from having to buy an entire skincare routine - something dear @lily_chloeash has witnessed - and the asterisks (*) indicate items that are my own. The rest are gifts from my personal Santa, Miss Tesa! First cleanse: Dr. Ci:Labo Acneless Cleansing Gel. Second cleanse: LUSH Angels On Bare Skin.? Tone: Orbis Clear Lotion M. Essence: Dr. Ci:Labo Herbal Essence. Serum: SK-II Facial Treatment Repair C. Eyes: Hylamide SubQ Eyes.* Moisturise: Orbis Clear Moisture-M. Protect: Belif The True Cream - Aqua Bomb. P/S: Tesa outdoes herself everytime. This time, I received a massive sackful of goodies, so heavy that Paul* complained that said sack "did his back in". Also, in the husband's words... "At this rate you both are going, I can foresee you exchanging Chanel flap bags in 10 years." 😂

Monday evening (Jan 9) skincare routine: Catching up on posts as yesterday's trip to the hospital sucked away all my energy. I believe this is my shortest routine ever! First cleanse: Shiseido Perfect Watery Oil. Second cleanse: Tosowoong Enzyme Powder Wash. Tone: Son and Park Beauty Water. Mist: Melvita Rose Floral water. Moisturise: Chanel Le Weekend. - This was a decant from my skin twin @martemorphosis and I love it so much! Was incredibly gutted to hear that it has been discontinued! This is the best overnight treatment for soft, glowy skin and the scent is so very lush too! #skincare #skincareroutine #skincarediary #skincareaddict #instabeauty #instaskincare #instadaily #beautyroutine #bblogger #366inskincare #pmroutine #366inbeauty #asianbeauty #rasianbeauty #abcommunity #abskincare #koreanbeauty #koreanskincare #sonandpark #melvitamalaysia #melvita #leweekend #chanel

Monday morning (Jan 9) skincare routine: Am attempting to clear out some old books today. Also trying to use up more skincare products but the lazy me prefers short routines. I've also noticed I've got too many mists in my stash, and I hereby declare I will not be purchasing any other mist until I use at least 4 bottles / cans up. This doesn't apply to Serozinc though as I desperately need to replenish my Serozinc stock! Cleanse: Cosrx Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser. Mist: Melvita Rose Floral water. Serums: NIOD CAIS and MMHC, Holy Snails Shark Sauce. Eyes: Hylamide SubQ Eyes. Moisturise: Papa Recipe Honey Pudding. Protect: Orbis UV Cut Sunscreen Gel SPF40. #skincareroutine #skincarediary #skincare #skincareaddict #instabeauty #instaskincare #instadaily #beautyroutine #bblogger #366inskincare #amroutine #koreanbeauty #366inbeauty #asianbeauty #rasianbeauty #abcommunity #abskincare #cosrx #melvitamalaysia #deciem #niod #hylamide #paparecipe #holysnails #sharksauce #orbissg

Saturday morning (Jan 7) skincare routine: Used some of my most precious skincare products, both gifts from dear @martemorphosis! Playing catch up as yesterday was a rather strange day.

Friday evening (Jan 6) skincare routine: Happy to be home and reunited with my bottle of Beauty Water! I didn't think I'd miss it this much! The Kikumasamune High Moist Lotion is growing on me.. have been really getting back on the lotion mask bandwagon, may just pick up the regular version and even the emulsion soon! Also decided to apply the Pink Gel first instead of using it as a sleeping pack! It sure did take away a lot of the stickiness @martemorphosis ! Thank you for suggesting it! First cleanse: Cremorlab Gel Oil. - This smells really posh. And I like all things posh 😂. Second cleanse: Cosrx Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser. Tone: Son and Park Beauty Water.

Friday morning (Jan 6) skincare routine: This was taken at the hospital, am so glad I'm home now! I suppose new findings are better than being in the dark! Cleanse: NIOD Sanskrit Saponins. - Am aware you shouldn't be using this daily, but I forgot to bring my other cleanser so I had to make do with it. Face didn't fall off, and Paul* declares this is the funkiest yet best deep cleansing cleanser he's tried! Mist: NIOD Superoxide Dismutase Saccharide Mist. Essence: SK-ii FTE.

Thursday evening (Jan 5) skincare routine: Apologies for the absolutely horrid pic! Did my best to travel light for my 'staycation' at the hospital but failed, as always. First cleanse: Muji Cleansing Oil for Sensitive Skin. - Bought on a whim. I have more than enough cleansers but I was curious about their cleansing oils! Second cleanse: NIOD Sanskrit Saponins. - I actually like this cleanser even though it smells funky. Mist: NIOD Superoxide Dismutase Saccharide Mist. - I didn't bring my Beauty Water with me! I've been happily misting my face with this because it keeps my face hydrated and doesn't leave a sticky film behind! Essence: SK-II FTE. Serums: NIOD CAIS and MMHC, Holy Snails Shark Sauce. Eyes: Hylamide SubQ Eyes. Moisturise: Dr. Ci:Labo Herbal Gel. - I've been enjoying this so much that I failed to realise I've hit the bottom of the tub! Quickly ordered a second tub last night and I hope the back up arrives before I use this up! Protect: Dr. Ci:Labo Aqua-Collagen-Gel Super Sensitive. - Still a favourite! #skincareroutine #skincarediary #skincareaddict #skincare #instabeauty #instaskincare #instadaily #beautyroutine #bblogger #pmroutine #366inskincare #366inbeauty #asianbeauty #rasianbeauty #abcommunity #abskincare #muji #mujimalaysia #niod #deciem #hylamide #holysnails #sharksauce #skiimalaysia #skii #drcilabo #drcilabosg

Tuesday morning (Jan 3) skincare routine: Went to the doctor's today, and got caught up in a series of rather unsavoury events. But I'm determined to leave them behind and move on sans excess baggage. Cleanse: Cosrx Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser. - I was going to use the Tosowoong Enzyme Powder Wash but auto pilot mode steered me towards this while in the shower. Oops! Tone: Son and Park Beauty Water. - Again, was going to use the Orbis Lotion, but my brain was obviously fast asleep. Mist: La Roche Posay Serozinc. - Aunt Flo brought some unwanted gifts with her. Serozinc to the rescue! Serums: NIOD CAIS and MMHC. Eyes: Hylamide SubQ Eyes. Moisturise: Dr. Ci:Labo Herbal Gel. - Was going to use Orbis Gel but.. you know what happened. I was also extremely worried about my makeup falling off my face today as I was trying out a new foundation but I have good news! Coming to you via my evening routine! Protect: Dr G A-Clear Oil Control Sun SPF50. - Slight white cast but makes a good base for makeup. Also used the Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence Sunscreen on my body as it's been awhile since I did that. Left out in the photo because I've been sleeping on the job (quite literally)... Hylamide's HA Blur as a face primer. Haven't used this for very long but it is fast becoming my go-to Primer and 'foundation' for when I visit my in-laws. For one must always have their best face forward. Vain much? 😂 I hope you had a lovely day back at work / school! #skincare #skincareroutine #skincarediary #skincareaddict #instabeauty #instaskincare #instadaily #beautyroutine #bblogger #amroutine #366inskincare #366inbeauty #asianbeauty #rasianbeauty #abcommunity #abskincare #cosrx #sonandpark #deciem #niod #hylamide #larocheposay #drcilabo #drcilabosg #drg #biore #drgowoonsesang
