A day at the City Library

Recently I found myself ‘working from library’, but it got to a stage where I just needed to take a break. So I strolled from aisle to aisle and it seemed like I hit jackpot. I found the following books and made notes from each book!

I will follow up with separate post on my summarized notes for you 🙂

PS: Highly recommend The Perricone Prescription

Newest launch by Murad skincare is Vita C Glycolic Brightening serum and Vita-C Eyes Dark Circle Corrector. Brightening Serum consists of ingredients Glycolic acid, Ascorbic Acid + Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Trehalose, Glutathione. As we already know Vitamin C - helps with oxidation stress on skin, while also aiding with hyperpigmentation, dullness and uneven tone. And Glycolic acid is a chemical exfoliant that resurfaces the skin. Some people do find that Glycolic acid irritates their skin or isn’t for them, in that case you’d want to look past this serum. While its too early to talk about results, these are some of my initial impressions: 🌞Packaging: Vitamin C also notorious for oxidizing, however in this product they have addressed that in their packaging. “A dual-chamber delivery system that stabilizes vitamin C to optimize efficacy with a calibrated cartridge that delivers a potent, exact dose every time. The separate outer chamber minimizes fillers, while the inner airless chamber adds more oxidation defense”. 🌞Texture, Consistency, Scent: Light lotiony like serum, and instantly absorbs in skin. Doesn’t feel sticky or gloopy either, and layers well with moisturizer and sunscreen. Smell is very subtle, while I don’t detect much of a fragrance. I do detect Mica in the formulation but its very subtle and doesn’t make me a glow ball! 🌞Application: Murad team recommends using am and pm, and I’ve been following exactly that for few days now. Of course during the day I follow with sunscreen (with regular reapplication). I take two pumps day and night all over face and neck. Followed by a hydrating toner (I’ve stopped using acid peels while Im testing this, so my results are more streamlined and attributable to this product). 🌞Results: While I cannot see any drastic result, I have nothing negative to say at this point. Skin does seem to get along well. Ideal for all skin types, especially those seeking to boost overall radiance (read lack luster skin), without fragrance. Next up is the Eye Corrector....... continued below👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

Real 5.30am face. Usual time for my ‘me time’ when the HHW household is still asleep and I’m quietly masking with @mahalo.care Petal🌹Mask while burning some Ylang Ylang essential oil in the house. 🍯Honey based mask which transcends me to a gorgeous floral garden (Rose, Jasmine, Ylang Ylang) while nourishing and plumping my skin. Perfect pick me up for someone🙋🏻‍♀️with four hours of sleep and still makes me feel amazing. I tend to leave it way more than recommended time, only because I know it’s not drawing moisture from my skin and smells heavenly. Quiet & indulgent self care ritual. . . #mahalocare #mahalo #petalmask #thepetal #facemask #honey #honeymask #luxeskincare #ecoluxe #skincarediary #nightskinroutine #skincarejunkie #skincareregime #skincareblogger #skincareproduct #skincareroutine #beautyroutine #melbourneblogger #instabeauty #instablogger #bblogger #bbloggers #beautyblogger #beautybloggers #beautycommunity

Playing around with new lips and tips colours from Retro Collection - Mavala! . . #prgift #mavala #retrocollection #nails #lipstick #lockdownnails #luxeskincare #ecoluxe #skincarediary #nightskinroutine #skincarejunkie #skincareregime #skincareblogger #skincareproduct #skincareroutine #beautyroutine #melbourneblogger #instabeauty #instablogger #bblogger #bbloggers #beautyblogger #beautybloggers #beautycommunity

Hair Creams, a product not enough talked about here. Unless you have a major flashback of Brylcreem!! FYI my hair type is thin, volume less, lots of it so it weighs down and dry at ends…oh yes and eternally lives in a bun. Which is where hair creams are essential for me….Over a period of time I’ve used fair few hair creams and have successfully narrowed to these three. What does it do? Well tames my hair for static (anyone with fine hair knows you’re like walking electric charge!). Lots of static in hair basically is lack of moisture, again where hair creams are essential. Also manages/flattens standing baby hair for slick bun look. Ooooh and most importantly doesn’t make my hair look dead at ends and gives boost of shine. You can argue leave in conditioner or mists do the same, well if that works for your hair great. Sadly my thin hair with dry ends needs more oomph, and cream is where it experiences proper conditioning without making my roots sticky and oily. To break it down, most important traits to look for in the hair creams (and these three tick the box for me), weightless (doesn’t weight it down), not sticky or siliconey or greasy/oily, doesn’t leave residue on hair ends. I can’t say if it impacts hair colour because I don’t have coloured hair. 💆🏻‍♀️Christophe Robin Sandalwood Daily Hair Cream is an all round winner for my hair, smells incredibly nice. Hair feels light and bouncy, smells incredible, and tames the unruly situation well. 💆🏻‍♀️Phyto 7 and 9 Hydrating Hair Cream, fresh pharmacy cult product. 7 is lighter and 9 series is tad more richer, for winter I need 9. 💆🏻‍♀️Alterna Caviar Blowout Butter, if you’re not as dry or very thin hair, possibly steer clear because this can be heavy. It says butter but texture and consistency is more creamy. How do I apply? Wet or dry hair. On the day I wash, I apply lightest layer on ends while I spritz entire mane with Christophe Robin Aloe Leave in Mist (also an excellent detangler). Following 5-6 days (yes lockdown hair situation) I apply the cream at the ends almost everyday.

Lockdown made me do it!!! . Hair unwashed for the fifth day, hair in “sleek” bun (translation it’s touch oily), skin taken care of with generous mist of MV Organics Rose Mist, DrDG IPL Dark Spot Correcting Serum, followed by African Botanics Le Masque Hydralift Intense mixed with Fleurs D’Afrique and lips with Lansinoh (best Lanolin lip balm ever)!!! . Staying home has me exhausted than usual, I spot all endless chores that need my “immediate” attention and never stop around the house. How are you all doing? 😘 . . #mvorganics #drdennisgross #africanbotanics #boxwalla #boxwallabeauty #lockdownskincare #luxeskincare #ecoluxe #skincarediary #nightskinroutine #skincarejunkie #skincareregime #skincareblogger #skincareproduct #skincareroutine #beautyroutine #melbourneblogger #instabeauty #instablogger #bblogger #bbloggers #beautyblogger #beautybloggers #beautycommunity

Question, what do you prefer, Kohl eye pencil or Liquid liner??? As for me, I vary depending on eye look I’m aiming for. Almost on daily basis, I smudge the liner with no aim for perfection or neat application. Occasionally I will dab on an eyeshadow to intensify the colour. Mavala have launched new soft kohl eye pencil, encouraging me to experiment more with colours on my lid. Usually its black or brown for me, and if I ever steered from these it would be deep green for me. With these pencils, I like how soft the colour crayon is and colour is properly pigmented too. The only downside is, for lazy personality such as myself, I will need to sharpen the pencil, I like twist top pencil with no need to sharpen the pencil. .

Playing with some newness in my life. Instant standout be Kerastase Elixir Ultimate (update hair routine coming soonish). Trilogy CoQ10 booster is an old fave, me thinks better than their cult Rosehip oil. Playing with others for now, if you spot any faves let me know! Thank you @yourcalissa 🙏🏻❤️ . . . #prgift #kerastase #caudalie #institutesthederm #australianbotanicals #trilogy #luxeskincare #ecoluxe #skincarediary #nightskinroutine #skincarejunkie #skincareregime #skincareblogger #skincareproduct #skincareroutine #beautyroutine #melbourneblogger #instabeauty #instablogger #bblogger #bbloggers #beautyblogger #beautybloggers #beautycommunity
