One Week of Pampering : Exfoliate Monday

Kicking off the mini-series this week, today I'm going to give my 2 cents on the topic of exfoliation.

Mini Series - One Week of Pampering

Starting next week, I will be putting up a new post each day (from Monday to Sunday) where I talk about how I pamper myself in the evenings. I think this would be useful to those who are planning and preparing for a big event, or just anybody who wants to have a relaxing time at home. I really think it makes a difference when you take the time to make yourself feel special because I believe you need to take care of yourself first before you can really take care of others!

I'm going to list below what I plan to post for each day. But please keep in mind that there might be a few changes. I'll try to stick the schedule below though =)

Monday: Exfoliate Monday

Tuesday: Deep Pore Cleanse Tuesday

Wednesday: Hydrate Wednesday

Thursday: Treatment Thursday

Friday: Glycolic Friday

Saturday: Spa Saturday

Sunday: Fun Sunday


I hope you guys enjoy this mini series!

Hadalabo Gokujyun Super Hyaluronic Acid Skincare Range

From left to right: Hadalabo Gokujyun Super Hyaluronic Acid Foaming Wash, Toner and Moisturizing Milk

Another japanese skincare post! This one more affordable than previously posted SK-II range (you can read it here). 

Hadalabo is a drugstore brand in Japan known for being affordable, gentle, suitable for sensitive skin and its simple, no-frills approach with ingredients. Don't mistake simple for non-efficient though. I found that this particular range, Gokujyun, is a hardworking moisturizing range that keeps my skin calm and hydrated for the entire day.

Product Empties - October 2013

I am pretty terrible with keeping empty bottles of things. I like to avoid clutter and keep things clean and organized and so my first reaction to empty products is to chuck it awayyy asap.

Well now, see what I did for you guys here. That's right. I went against my natural inclinations and kept the darned things haha! 

Body Care Routine - Winter Edition November 2013

I always tell people that my favourite seasons are Autumn/Fall. I love wearing cozy sweaters and trendy coats, as well as fashionable boots! I get excited buying fall and winter fashion items. 

The one thing that I'm NOT excited about is dry skin all over my body. If i just use normal foaming body washes (even in the summer), I swear that my skin becomes reptilian...all scaly...*sheds tears* its terrible.

This winter I became so frustrated with how itchy and dry my body was. My limbs were so parched that I felt they were being torn in two, so finally I put together a routine to take care of my issues. Today I'm going to talk about the products I use to control my super dry body skin. I am going to restrict it to just body care and do a separate post on winter hair care and winter skin care later on. Hope you enjoy this post!

Happy Eid/Thanksgiving Haul!

Hello everyone! Today I would like to share some new purchases that I made. All of these are bought from various beauty stores in Pacific Mall here in Toronto. Of course, they can also be bought online from different places (sasa, w2beauty, etc) if you don't happen to have access to an asian beauty store nearby. 

Mono Cream Shadow Look

Most days I can't be bothered to use 2 or more shades of shadow on my lids, specially if I'm just stepping out for a quick errand or two. For the majority of the time, I rely on my cream shadows to create a simple yet sophisticated eye look that makes it seem like I spent more than 2 seconds blending and faffing.
