Lazy Saturday Thoughts & Deals July 25

July 25, 2009 Paris B 16 Comments

saturday thoughts

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? 😉

benefit powder pop & sunscreen

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. Use the code SHIPINTL and shop away! Oh and you’d get a free California Kissin’ with purchases of $35 and up too – no promo code necessary.
  • Win yourself a Clinique Happy fragrance from new blog Red Luscious Lips (until July 31 2009 – see blog for details)
  • If you want some excellent makeup storage for eyeshadows or eyeshadow palettes, head down to Ikea and pick up the Glis box with partitions. Its on sale now for only RM19.90 from RM25. I need a couple more methinks!

And here are some sites you could surf over to for some light weekend reading.

  • Eat Smart Age Smart- Martha Stewart’s Perfect Summer Picnic Recipes
  • Beauty Match– Win A FREE makeover from Ken Paves at a Ken Paves salon!
  • My Women Stuff– My Women Stuff asks you whats your favourite undereye concealer?
  • A Touch of Blusher – A Touch of Blusher reviews SUQQU’s Loose Powder in Natural
  • Raging Rouge – Raging Rouge explains how one pair of flip flops can magically turn into dozens… talk about a budget-saver!
  • STYLEnosh– How to wear a maxi dress if you’re on the short(er) side

Ooh and I’m having dinner with my family tonight but we don’t know where to go. Ideas anyone?! 🙂

Happy weekend!

      Hi Corrine

      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!

    Isn’t the Anthelios a bit thick and oily?

      Hi Shay

      If you have normal/oily skin it can be. I have skin bordering on dry so its working great for me. 🙂
