I’ve been sticking to my resolve to use up products as much as I can, without leaving too many half-opened jars and bottles lying around. The only way I know if a product works for my skin, or if I love it, is if I’m able to finish it.
Better yet, I finish it, and yearn for a new bottle or jar! 😀
Here are some of my recent empties, because everyone loves a post about empties 😉

Malaysia has finally joined many other countries in allowing us to remove our masks in public (with exceptions), after 2.5 years of mandatory mask-wearing. I can’t say I’m terribly excited about the news, as I intend to continue masking for the near future, but I understand how that appeals to the sense of normalcy that many people crave.
But the mask-off policy means that we can go back to wearing lipstick!
What better time then, to tell you about the new Chanel Rouge Allure L’Extrait refillable lipsticks.
Chanel calls this the Rouge Allure l’Extrait High Intensity Lip Colour, and I did not appreciate that description until I swatched them.
I was quite blown away! Now, THIS is a warm welcome to the return of lipstick! 😀

So, here’s some products I’ve been using over the past few months, that I’ve really enjoyed using, and that I think are worth trying. They’re skincare products that have been around a while, but I don’t like rushing into trying and telling people about new skincare I’ve tried – you never know if it really works in the short term, and it’s only after long-term use, that you truly decide if it’s a keeper or if it’s not worth trying.
But these 4 products are worth giving them a shot, and here’s why! 🙂

All the lovely bottles and powders I had had expired, or were in varying stages of expiry. It was a bit of a rude awakening, I must say.
It isn’t to say of course, that I wasn’t going to use some of the products – I operate within tolerances and I push my luck 😛 – but I saw a foundation in the No. 1 de Chanel range and I thought “I want that!”
So, when the opportunity arose for me to test it out in person, I caved and got a bottle of the No. 1 de Chanel Revitalizing Foundation. It was quite gratifying for me to find out that my shade remained the same! LOL!
It’s also been one of my better beauty buys to date! 😀
