The Altruist Face Fluid SPF50 sunscreen is a lighter choice for oily skins

There was a recent sale on the Altruist Sunscreen on shopee, so I shared about it on Instagram, and it received a lot of positive response. But I also received a lot of questions about texture, because I previously shared that the Altruist Sunscreen has a thicker, more creamy texture, and understandably, that can feel a little off-putting.

Incidentally, I had purchased the Altruist Face Fluid sunscreen in the past, and tried it not too long ago, so I figured that it’s time I shared my thoughts on it.

Affordable hydration is possible with the L’Oreal Revitalift Hyaluronic Acid 1.5% serum

I haven’t been as familiar with many new beauty releases as I haven’t been out and about very much. So what I’ve been doing is shopping my stash and finding new things in there that I might not otherwise have tried!

The L’Oreal Revitalift Hyaluronic Acid 1.5% Serum is one such product. I received it during an event many months ago, and dug it back up when I was looking for a new serum to use in the day. I tend to use hydrating/hydration serums in the day as I’ve found that that’s when I lose the most moisture from my skin. I attribute this to the weather – just because the weather is hot and humid doesn’t mean we don’t lose water from our skin. Using a hydration serum in the day helps my skin retain moisture and water better.

Suffice to say that the Revitalift Hyaluronic Acid serum was surprisingly a good find!

A funny and interesting thing happened to me very recently.

I was with my pup, waiting by the side of the road, when a total stranger came up to say Hi. I was a little cautious, as my pup is easily excitable, and I didn’t want him jumping on her. Much to my surprise, she wasn’t there to say Hi to the pup (most do, so I was expecting them to LOL!) but to me!

She said she had been reading my blog for the longest time, and wanted to take the opportunity to say Hi. It was a bit of a whirlwind meeting, and then she was gone, and I was left with my pup, feeling a little bemused, but brimming with gratitude. I didn’t even get her name, because I was shellshocked haha! 😀

Then a couple of weekends ago, I was in Singapore, at the famed Newton Circus food court, stuffing my face with grilled chicken wings (it’s one of my fave things to eat in Singapore, oddly enough), when I received an Instagram DM just as I was leaving, to ask if I had been there. It must have been a long shot, because no one knew I was down in Singapore, but it was me and she said she ought to have come and said Hi.

Both these incidences left me pondering on the impact we leave on people’s lives, even those we think we’d never meet or have never met.

It then struck me just how long I’d been blogging for – 17 years this past 9 March! 😯
