Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse

My first contact of this product was when i went on a weekend trip to Singapore. I was walking along one of the shopping malls (i cant remember which one) when a girl passed me a sample. By looking at the sample, i knew it was going to be a great product because the french always come up with good products. Like the Bioderma and the main reason of me going to Singapore to get my stock of Bioderma Crealine (and go to Universal Studio, haha!). 

I didn't want to open my sample packet so i went to Sasa in BSC to test it out. i tested out the shimmer oil first which was a big mistake. I had shimmer glitter all over me, my hands, my arms, my face! To make it worse...i stupidly sprayed the oil on my hair straight instead of my hands first. so i had a blob of oily/shimmery bit on my hair. It was so messy and oily. i thought "No, this product is not for me." 

That was a year ago...

Before i came back to KL from Perth for summer break, I was doing my 'last-minute' shopping in the city. I will never leave the city without going in Priceline, i have this unexplainable need to go into all the Priceline i see. I told myself, you cant buy anything because you are already over weight limit. You are there to look! Just look! but...pfft, i never listen to myself. while browsing the aisle, Priceline brought in a whole bunch of French cosmetics!! and my eyes landed at the Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse. Okay, i thought, lets give this product a second try. *This* time i tried the original version. It was perfect timing as well because i just ombred my hair and my ends were screaming for moisture. 

My hair fell in love with the prodigious oil. at that point, i didn't care if i had weight constraints, i want this oil!! so yeah....i got it. i didn't need to be told twice. I also use it on my body, i have been using Huile Prodigieuse for almost two week on my arms, elbows and legs before i sleep. My elbows are the driest part of my body and after two weeks, they are more moisturised and soft.

Sometimes before i sleep, i would lather some on my hair and sleep with braids. I wake up the next morning with soft wavy hair. I am trying to avoid using heat on my hair and have been experimenting with getting wavy/curly hair without heat. Will take on that more later. 

You can get your huile prodigieuse at Sasa if you are in Malaysia or Priceline if you are in Australia.

Priceline (Australia) : AUD 39.90

The Chanel CC cream - i first saw it while flipping through a magazine while waiting for my turn to thread my eyebrows. I am a bb cream ~lover~ when i saw CC cream, i was so intrigued (people always get up my pants when i use words like intrigued when talking about make up, but really!! its how i feel, anywayyy...) I told my mom about it and the Chanel loving woman went straight to the stores to get it. 

One of my biggest regret was not reviewing it before buying. i was so caught up in the new CC cream hype. When i first tried it on, it was too white for me...and gave me a grey cast. In my defense, i put on too much...but really... it wasnt right. i gave it a try for a week and sadly...i stopped using it for a good few  months, until recently, i thought why not give it another chance.

The trick to wearing this CC cream for me is build up. A little goes a long way. When i mean little, think smaller than a pin size drop and build up when you need more. It does give a beautiful dewy finish thats last! I can still a slight glow at the end of the day. 

I wouldnt recommend getting this, it is quite pricey for a small tube.  RM170 = AUD56 But if you have almost perfect skin and just looking for light coverage, this is perfect for you.

Blue without you

This is my 2nd post about this miracle product. This is my 3rd tube. I still have nothing but good words for it. Read first post here. 

How i use it: I spray my Lush Tea Tree Water, slather this miracle on my face and let it dry. I love it because it helps reduce my redness and help lighten my acne scars. I like the fact it matify my face because oh hell lord, my face is so oily, i could probably fry an egg on it. Another plus factor about this product is that its absorbs into your skin very fast. No sticky feeling after. 

Ro Argan Body Conditioner

Ever since i came to Perth, the weather has been playing with my skin. Its so dry!!!! I have a body lotion in my toilet, so i can lather on after i come out from the shower. One bottle on my desk, whenever i am doing my work, i can put some on and another one bottle on my vanity shelf, in case i forget to put some after i get out from the shower (which is MOST of the time).

This went on for a few months before i gave up. Thats when i headed over to Lush and found this miracle. Yes, miracle? because my skin says so. The first thing you would notice when you smell the conditioner from the tub is the SMELL. The tub says it is suppose to leave you smelling like Rose jam. To me...it smells of cream rose jam. its heavenly. Seriously, try to imagine a tub of creamy rose jam. 

I have gone through a tub and i am on to my second tub. So, Ro's Argan body conditioner is like hair conditioner for your body. You slather it on in the shower while you are still wet, leave it on for a bit and wash it off. I was abit skeptical at first, but after i rinsed myself. I WAS SOLD! My skin was moisturised and i smelt amazing. 

I have been using this every night and have been skipping my body lotion routine, but i might have to cut back a little and use it sparingly because its AUD32 a tub/225g. Sometime, i accidentally scoop out too much for one use. :( Its works so well because its packed with richly moisturising ingredients such as argan oil, cocoa butter, cupuacu butter, brazil nut oil, almond oil, shea butter and it goes on. 

This is definitely one of my Perth's staple. i dont think i would like it much if i used it in Kuala Lumpur, due to Malaysia's humid weather. 

EXCELLENCE

I went back to Malaysia for 5 weeks and out of that 5 weeks, i worked for 4 weeks. Back to Zalora, helping Fazil and Azian with some BM translation project. I have to say that 4 weeks working there, i learn most compared to my one year stint before i resigned back in January.

Going back to Zalora, i could relive my love for excel. I never knew i had a hidden love for nerds or a nicer way to say it, someone who excels at excel. :P sorry! i just had too! If you told me 2 years ago i would HAVE to learn excel, formulas, macro and etc, i would have probably stared at the person and say, right? Excel? What else can you do with excel beside creating a school timetable with it? I was wrrroonng. After learning the basics of excel, i was hooked. I thought i was the coolest person when i learned how to =vlookup on my own and NOW i can create my own PivotTable and send out reports. ya, i know right? im the coolest (please shoot me now).

My obsession with excel is crazy that i have been looking for excel training courses here in Perth.

ok, just needed to share my current crazy obsession. its 12.51am, i really need to sleep now.
