I think I've found it!
A suitable body wash that is.
Sensitive skin and mild eczema are the two key conditions that have been plaguing me for the longest time. In my younger days, I erupt into rashes when my surroundings get too dusty or when the body wash I use are too strong (aka drying). So it kind of eliminates all the nice-smelling body washes out there in the market :( Hahaha. There was a stage of my life I was allergic to fruits like rambutan, banana, durian and lychees as well - pretty weird combination I say. Hahaha. Eczema conditions got worse during my university days when I was eating nonsense food and sleeping at crazy hours (wait, I can't even remember if I had any sleep during those days. Haha). I consulted endless number of western and TCM doctors - resulting in a period of time where I was drinking weird concoctions and eating meals that comprises mainly of vegetables (and only selected few) and fruits. It's not exactly a fun adventure I must say.
Besides being careful about the food and the beverages I take, I have to be careful with the skin products I use as well. The hunt for the perfect body wash is a never-ending quest for me. I've come to realize my body wash has to be paraben-free, sulfate-free (especially so for SLES and SLS - also known as Sodium Laureth/Lauryl Sulfate) and mineral oil-free (for those that raves about being oil baths and hence great for skin). I'm sure I will discover more stuff along the way but so far these are the ones that really don't work for me.
For the longest time, Niks Professional Aroma Shower and Bath Oil served me well. I got it from my cousin's clinic after a brutal outbreak and I've never looked back. Hahaha. It's always the bath oil I turn to when I have eczema breakouts or when I am flying around like crazy for work and my skin goes all crazy on me due to extreme weather changes.
Was shopping around Watsons the other day (one of my favourite pastimes!) and I came across Palmer's Olive Butter Formula Renewing Body Wash.
They come in Sheabutter and Cocoa Butter as well but I figure I really don't want to smell like those two prior to going to bed. So I got the Olive Butter one instead. Okay granted it smells a little like playdough but it goes away after a while so it's fine.
I've yet to get any itchy patches and I've been using it for a week. Besides the above-mentioned Niks bath oil, it's by far the only body wash that really moisturizes the skin. Which means I can go without the body lotion and I don't feel my skin drying up! These are all good news for me. Haha.
The reviews look good too. Best part, they only cost SGD 9.90 per bottle. Taking into account I've purchased really expensive branded/rich body washes that promises you the moon and stars (and does not deliver) before, this price tag sounds really reasonable to me.
Disclaimer: But what may work for me, may not work for you. So research well before buying! :)
Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua
Somehow my skin started to become really oily using my previous foundation. So I decided to have a change of heart and gave Chanel a try
And boy was I sold.
It's water-based so my problem with the previous foundation was eliminated. Other than that, it basically just looks like you have nothing on your face! It's so watery it just glides on!
I cannot imagine myself using another foundation.
Good shopping
makes Yu Hui a happy girl. Haha
I was cruising through Watsons today....and my sharp eyes discovered a new counter at the makeup section.
Lo and behold.
Majolica Majorca is in town!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been waiting like crazy for this brand to hit Singapore!!!!!!!!
I got their mascara:
I was so tempted to grab their eye shadow and blusher and...many many more before I realise I don't need to replenish my stock for those yet. Excellent self discipline there ;)
And plus..I was bursting the budget too..HAHA
I got my Rojukiss BB cream too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sisters! Dump your primer, foundation and concealer! Now you only need one! =))
Gawd I'm so happy. La la la la la la~~~~~

Decapitation
In an attempt to open my new bottle of moisturiser...I think I decapitated it:
Now the head goes into the bin:
It's ok the head is gone. At least I have my cream. Hahaha
Now the head goes into the bin:
In case of emergency (like the need to moisturize my face), never underestimate a lady's strength. Haha
It's ok the head is gone. At least I have my cream. Hahaha
恐怖 panda
In line with the upcoming movie, Kungfu Panda, I've morphed into a 恐怖 panda. To combat those dark rings that are dark enough to put the kid in Ju-on to shame, I decide to do it the inverse panda way.
Meet my white rings.
Meet my white rings.
