Saturdays are for lazing away in the sun among the daisies 🙂 But don’t forget the sunscreen! 😀 I’ve been using the La Roche Posay Anthelios XL sunscreen for about 2 weeks now and I must say “I’m in love!” Its works so well but we can’t get it here in Malaysia. I’ve just also got my mitts on the Vichy UV Activ sunscreen SPF50 PA+++ and a teeny sample of the new Lancome UV Expert Neuroshield sunscreen (did you pick up your free sample?) I’ll set up a review and hopefully a comparison soon. 🙂
Unfortunately I’m at work this weekend so the picture above is keeping me happy till I’m done. I also played with some Biotherm Skin Vivo skincare over the week. Revolutionary skincare that treats you from the genetic and DNA level up. Doesn’t it remind you of Lancome’s Genifique Serum? Better yet, Biotherm comes in a whole skincare line and promises 10 years off in 4 weeks. Wow… Benjamin Button anyone? 😉
Here are some deals I picked up online and around town.
- Benefit Powder Pop! Palette
- On the subject of Benefit Cosmetics, items on the Benefit Sale Page are now 50% off. Get together with some friends and get free shipping with orders of US$85 and up.

The Powder Pop Palette is an excellent deal! I’m glad you took advantage of it 😀 I haven’t tried the Laura Mercier powder. Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever tried anything by LM!

July 27, 2009 at 1:36 pmIsn’t the Anthelios a bit thick and oily?
ParisB says
July 27, 2009 at 5:04 pmHi Shay
If you have normal/oily skin it can be. I have skin bordering on dry so its working great for me. 🙂
