Skincare, Makeup FOC

I've been working for nearly 20 years and I buy all the personal stuff that I own, be it skincare, makeup, bags, shoes, apparels, etc etc .. I've lavished my mom & my sisters but I hardly have people buying me gifts~ hence, imagine my delight, excitement & pleasure at the frequent skincare/makeup I get every other day!!

Ok there were more than these but I was too tired from work on those nights to remember to pic them:


Of this lot, I love Soap & Glory's "Wish Upon A Jar" most! It comes in a cool silver globe and the rich collagen smells heavenly! I just love putting it on every time.  And because it came to me FOC, I am really "generous" everytime I use this, taking a larger-than-neccessary" amount and use my palm to soothe it over my entire face, neck and elbow.  Its been a week and while I'm not certain if it delivers what it claims, I do find my hands feeling extremely smooth ever since I started on this!  I have a very bad habit of washing my hands frequently so they are really dry.  After a week of this, my hands are now smooth even after constant washing throughout the day.  Vince was unconvinced but had to agree to my verdict after I applied some on his own hands .. further, I have oily & sensitive skin but I've not had any breakouts at all! My face was not much oilier even if I wear this under my makeup.   Verdict: If you have about SGD60 to spare, I will encourage you to give this a try. Me? I am going to continue with this.. at least until I find another that surpass this.

I took this off Soap&Glory's www:
21 Day Collagen Overhaul Cream boosts moisture levels, smoothes fine lines and wrinkles, brightens tired skin and hides imperfections (with TRIPLE-ACTION YOUTHFAKE™ Diamond spheres specifically designed to disguise dull, exhausted and aging skin). It’s got antioxidants,
shea butter and quite possibly the most potent mix of clinically proven anti-wrinkle SUPERPEPTIDES™, oxygen boosters, puffiness reducers, pigmentation, large pore and fine-line disguisers ever witnessed… and in 21 days flat can take a tired face and make it look FRESH!



Another night, I got this on my vanity top.  Vince had gone to his mum's to pick up Kyros .. what a pleasant surprise!  You should have seen my face hahahah ..


OK this was just fine .. not exactly my cup of tea as I am not a big fan of in-house brands .. this pouch contains mostly Sephora makeup ..


And this came in 2 days back .. a lancome pouch that contains samples of their Maqui whitening foundation, BB eye base, etc ..


 Hmm.. I've never been a fan of Lancome so I'm most likely to pass this on to my sis ~


And today, I got this!



Ever since I labelled "Wish Upon a Jar" as my HG, I have been keeping a lookout for their other products and this explained my delight when I opened the bag.

And the hightlight of the day is the bottle on the top left hand corner, Soap & Glory's "Hocus Focus" Highlighting Lotion. I cant wait to try this out!  And I have to mention that the body polish & body wash smells just like my fav "Wish Upon a Jar"!  This sounds abit complicated to use though ~

What is Soap & Glory Hocus Focus Lotion?
A BLAST OF BRILLIANCE FOR TIRED SKIN! An INSTANT visual flaw-softening lotion with long-wearing LIGHTSCRAMBLE™ lumispheres. Contains a delicate hint of our popular Rose & Bergamot fragrance.
How do you dew it?
PLAY DOWN THE FLAW!
Use Hocus Focus alone as a cheekbone highlighter, mixed with moisturiser as a gorgeous skin brightener, or blend 2-3 pumps into your foundation (for a youthful, dewy, luminous look).
Can be used in conjunction with Catch a Wrinkle in Time daily moisturiser.

USE TO DIFFUSE:
- Large pores
- Wrinkles
- Uneven pigmentation
- Suitable for all skin types

Oh well, there were others like a GAP overnight bag, a dr hauschka tote, and a whole bunch of fragrance vials .. I wonder what Vince will bring back tomorrow ~ haha ..
