A hydrating essence you do not need to pat in – Neogence Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Essence

June 30, 2011 Paris B 26 Comments

I’d never come across this brand called Neogence before, have you? Then again, I don’t spend a lot of time in Sasa stores where this is found. I operate Sasa stores like a hit and run accident – hit the store, run in to get what I want and run out. I don’t stop and browse because the SAs there just scare me silly. Pushy doesn’t quite begin to describe it.

However, I was passed the Neogence Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Essence to trial by Cittabella magazine for their feature, which is how I came to know about this product.

A bit of research tells me that Neogence is a brand from Taiwan and this Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Essence is one of their star products. I must say that I really liked this product in the 2 weeks I was trialing it.

Chocolatey Goodness! Ellis Faas Creamy Eye E104 will not make you fat

A little while ago, I made an Ellis Faas order (overview of my purchase and brand here) and one of the products I broke out to use first was the Creamy Eye Colour in E104.

A word about packaging. The packaging is unique. I have no other word for it. In most cases, I would immediately shy away from anything resembling a twist up pen because experience teaches me that they are a pain to use. However, curiousity got the better of me, hence my foray into Ellis Faas which uses this sort of packaging in most of the products in the range.

The pens are long and they just about fit into a basic makeup case provided it isn’t too small. Otherwise, it slips nicely into the sides of your bag. In a pinch, it probably doubles up as a weapon 😛 I wonder if I’ll be allowed to carry this on board a flight. Might have some explaining to do – “Its an eyeshadow, I swear!”

Day 22 of 30: RMK Lip Crayon 01 Pink

I’m really plodding through this series aren’t I? Hope you’ve found something to like thus far 🙂

The RMK Lip Crayon is new in the RMK Sping/Summer collection 2011 and I believe its permanent to the collection. What it is, is your typical twist up crayon lip colour that does not need sharpening. Its a very lovely slim package that easily slips into pockets, pochettes, clutches, tiny little dangly bags that don’t fit anything more than your ID and cash… you get the drift.

Packaging wise, its a winner by a mile and a half. What about colour then?

squeeze spots even when you aren't supposed to?

There are tons of beauty don’ts:-

Don’t pop pimples
Don’t squeeze blackheads
Don’t take too much sugar
Don’t forget your sunscreen
Don’t forget your eyeliner
Don’t forget to use toner after cleansing
etc … etc …etc…

The list is endless as beauty “guru” after beauty “guru” rolls out their “rules”. And you know what happens with rules right? That’s right – they get broken!
