Review & Tips > Year-round Skin Care Must Haves for All Skin Types - Part 1: Toner -

My reviews on the products are very personal, and I, myself, am not affiliated with the company producing the products. I always do my best to keep my review very neutral, yet, friendly and more focused on results after using the products rather than ingredients or benefits advertised by the company. Although this enabled me to tell whether the product's description turns out to be fool- proof or not, for various personal skin needs/issues, I cannot guarantee that the products which worked on my skin will definitely work on yours.

Hi all, I thought I might write about something more practical today; skincare products that all of you can rely on for every season! :) I haven't really suggested cheaper alternatives on my previous posts, but this time I'll include some for the budget-minded.

I'm splitting this post into many so it's not too long, this one contains tips on toners. I plan on covering serums and moisturisers as well as part of this series. So let's get started :)

Review > High-end Hydrating Moisturiser Comparison (Guerlain vs La Mer vs La Prairie vs Sisley)

Gustav Klimt < Adele Bloch-Bauer I >

I've noticed an increasing number of people talking about "anti-aging" skin care for the last few years, regardless of the age. It seems to me that it's just nothing but a popular trend among consumers and companies. But in fact, if we think about what real "anti-aging" skin care is, it's just a balance between inner and outer beauty. Meaning, you can't simply just pile on expensive products without a healthy life style and expect that you can delay aging of your skin.

Hi everyone!

It has been raining outside, and I thought it might be a good time to do some blog posting! :) Hope you are doing well, and here I am with another post, this time on intensive night treatment product Supremÿa la nuit by Sisley :). Enjoy!

I must say, this is very expensive! -_- Regardless here I'm on my 4th bottle. ie. it has been 4 years since I started using this product. I'm not going to lie, saying "Oh, this brings A MIRACLE to my skin" :P. The results are quite similar to their green detox night complex, which I've talked about before. So you can go and have a read about it if you are interested! :).

I, myself, am not affiliated with any companies.

Somehow I messed up with my blog posting schedule, and finally here I am with this XD.
( Trust me, I've been meaning to post this a while ago >_<.)

I enjoy flying with Korean Air, due to their excellent services including snacks (unless of course the peanuts are served incorrectly :P)! Haha you may have noticed how much I love food! ;)
Anyway, this is basically what you get in Prestige Business class in Korean Air from Sydney, Australia to Incheon/Seoul, Korea, vice versa.

In the previous post, I talked about the different By Terry foundations. Then, it got me thinking about posting my current makeup regime/my Go To By Terry products :). Some of the products from the Or de Rose collection may not be available on the market since they were released in 2012. 

Actually, I have been just keeping them in my cosmetic wardrobe as a part of my collection, but I got curious and failed to resist temptation >_< So there you go, I have opened them and I must say I AM IN LOVE with them <3 
Anywho, I see still some places stock this collection, so I have linked below if you are interested :).
Enough intro! >_<  So these products are the ones that I have been using religiously for the last 7 months or so :) Enjoy!

This beauty kit is not supposed to take too much space in your clutch!
This kit will come in handy when you missed the train or bus by accident, and you do not want to take the risk of taking a cab by yourself!
Or your friend is staying over at your friend's place and have nothing to treat herself, then you could lend it to her.

So take these as extras on the top of whatever you carry on your night out :)

1. Fill both sides of your lens case with Enbryolisse Lait-Creme Concentre. You can use this nourising moisturiser as a cleanser and makeup base too! Generally, most of you will

Have a look at my previous post Spring / Summer Vacance Travel Kit! - Part 3: Make-up - if you want to know what I normally carry with me over holidays.



These are what I took with me in my carry-on bag makeup-wise! :)
I travel quite often, I am not sure about you but I always find it a little funny whenever I see people done up with loads of makeup after a long flight's tired puffy face! :O You probably find that our skin texture is not as smooth as normal, or looking dull... concealer does not seem to work enough to conceal dark circles from the plane! :/ This is the main reason why I kept my in-flight makeup kit minimalist, whilst I kept my in-flight skincare regime more committed :).  
Of course, you can take more or less than this!

I hope you all had some sleep in the plane! :)
Trust me, it is still better than no sleep at all! ;)
If you have not had any sleep at all :O, then no worries, I have got some tips for you :P.
In fact, you can even practice this routine as part of your after party/long night/stressed skin rescue. Well, whenever your skin needs some TLC!
You can absolutely repeat the same steps from the previous post, but I do not :P.
I just have fun with using different products if possible! >_<
And it is quite boring in the plane ( I cannot read either, it gives me a very bad headache! :( ), so this is another good way of killing time I guess! 

Basically, after the 8-9 hour-long flight, I used the same cleanser and toner (the same process! :P) from On board > Overnight In-Flight Skincare -Part 1-.
Then, I followed with these products! :)

For more details on why I packed these products with me, 
please check my previous post Spring / Summer Vacance Travel Kit! - Part 1: Skin Care-.
I have explained thoroughly how I normally pack my skincare products when I am away! :)
And I am quite sure that you will find answers to most of the questions that you might have, and if you still have further questions, then please do not hesitate to ask me :).

Also, have a look at Autumn / Winter Overnight Trip Travel Kit!

Well, I have made several posts before on skincare travel kit, 
so I contemplated if I should make another one. 
And then, I realised that I have not yet made a post on on-board skincare / makeup! >_<  
So here I am with my lovely Hello Kitty sandwich bag that I took with me in my hand luggage for my LONG flight! :)

By the way, this is only half of my In-flight skincare routine, ie. this post will deal with beauty regime before sleep in the flight! Part 2 (next post) will be about after sleep skincare regime before makeup!

Autumn/Winter in Australia is not too bad compared to other places.
However, we still cannot ignore the fact that it is AUTUMN/WINTER!
i.e. our skin cannot let its guard down from dehydration and UV rays.
You might not have to worry about bacteria and other infections too much in A/W unlike in S/S.
However, you really need to focus on thorough gentle cleansing, mild exfoliation and deep cleansing (NOT harsh) to make a perfect base for your heavier/richer products that you normally tend to put on to prevent dehydration..
And if you are an outdoor person, make sure you put on as much sunscreen as you put on in Summer.
Many people think that it is okay just to rely on SPF from their make up products.
In fact, the amount of UV rays that you get in Winter is very similar to Summer.
So if you have a sensitive/dry skin, then do not skip your daily sunscreen!

Well, that is an enough intro for now, and let's have a look at my kit! :)

I promised to write a post on my summer holiday travel kit on my bikini post about a month ago. And here we are! :) (Apologies for delay! >_<)

If you have visited Australia before (or live in Australia), you would know how hot it is in summer. :(
Especially in Queensland, it gets very hot and humid at the same time.
Accordingly your skin gets very stressed from both the boiling hot weather and air conditioner.

There are all these dark sides behind a sexy hot summer. Bah. :(
Anywho, No Pain No Gain, we love summer, so let's now talk about what to pack for our holidays!
