Skin Care

For the past year my skin has been acting up. Pretty bad actually. Its like going through puberty all over again...adult acne. I believe that stress, combined with my oily skin just lead to the worst condition ever. Its so bad that I now have scars all over my chin and foreheads. 

I've tried a few product this past year to try and help deal with my skin and acne. I wanted the acne to disappear but at the same do preventative maintenance like anti-aging and UV protection.  I started with Shiseido Pureness line. Love the line but its ingredients has nothing to combat acne. Yes, it did minimize the oil on my face but nothing to prevent and heal the acne that I already have. Shiseido made my skin feel really nice and soft. And so I then switched to Murad. Worked wonderfully but it was drying out my skin and it didn't look as soft and youthful. 

Being obsessed with the Korean band like Big Bang and 2ne1 and actress Yoon Eun Hye, I decided to google what skincare product do they use. I came upon BB CREAM. This is really an amazing product. 

A product that I've ordered recently to deal with blackheads and enlarged pores specifically is Lioele. I have also been using O Hui eye cream (a sample which I got from HMart). It seems that the Asian brand is just suited to my skin way better than the American brand. 

Right now, I am on search for a really good BB cream. I tested out Alex Cosmetics and Lioele sample for their Triple Solution. The blackhead kit that I bought from Lioele is really working. And my skin is soft and not dried either.

Bargain Shopping Jackpot: Alexander McQueen

I could not believe I scored an awesome piece from designer line Alexander McQueen!!! I originally saw it marked on sale for $129.99 (originally $229.99 at T.J. Maxx) but had to walk away because of the price tag. Went back to T.J. Maxx earlier this morning and saw it marked down for $69. I WAS IN HEAVEN!!!JACKPOT!!!

I love fashion. I love clothes. I love shoes. I love sneakers. What I love more is the hunt for bargain deals.

This is the closest pic that I could find for the actual sweater that I bought.
