Favourite Quote from Audrey Hepburn


For attractive lips,
Speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes,
Seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure,
Share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair,
Let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day.

For poise,
Walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.

People, even more than things,
Have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed,
And redeemed; never throw out anyone.

Remember, if you ever need a helping hand,
You will find one at the end of each of your arms.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands;
One for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.

L'OCCITANE Cleansing And Soothing Shower Oil with Almond Oil.

Recommended by a new colleague of mine, I'm amazed with the result. My skin feels like a baby skin after the first shower. This Shower Oil becomes milky color and foam when contacted with water. It's rich with almond oil which is good for moisturizing dry skin and soothing for sensitive skin. It will definitely be my new found shower oil haul this year. Second picture, some samples given by L'OCCITANE SA. Ultra Comforting Serum and Cream - Good for sensitive skin, Precious Cream - Daily anti-aging for face and neck cream.

Chanel Vitalumiere Eclat Comfort Radiance Compact Makeup SPF 10

I am not exaggerating, after Chanel SA applied the powder on my left cheek it evened out my skin tone, cover up pores and most of all my skin feels smooth instantly. I can't stop touching it cause it feels like baby skin and I kept comparing my left and right cheek. It comes with moisturizing agents and doesn't feels dry on the skin. The best part is, it contains SPF 10 and did I mention I love Chanel packaging. It's sleek, classy and appealing to me. This powder comes with two applicators for two makeup results, sponge and brush. Sponge finished with heavier coverage whereas brush finished with light coverage. It can be applied after foundation or for touch up and can be refill. Color BR10 - Beige Rose Pastel. My new haul of the year.

Clarins - Protective Whitening Day Lotion SPF 20.


Unlike other day moisturizer I have tried, this is not oily and glide smoothly on my skin. it comes with SPF 20 with brightening agents which slows the development of factors that trigger hyperpigmentation linked to UV, inflammation, stress and ageing. Apply before makeup every morning to moisture the skin. ( The other 2 products are Total Whitening Essences & Whitening Night Cream, samples I get from purchasing the day moisturizer. )
