Restocked with Paula’s Choice

My face’s been breaking out like crazy lately due to the stress my body’s been under. I went through my previous bottle of Paula’s Choice Exfoliating 2% Beta Hydroxy Acid Liquid in record time to curb the breakouts. So I had to restock.

Despite having all the breakouts, my skin is also dry and flakey around the nose and chin (So frustrating! I don’t know what’s going on?!), I decided to go back to the Exfoliating 2% BHA Lotion ($18.95) instead of the liquid format. The lotion has a beautifully light texture and slightly moiturizing than the BHA liquid, so hopefully it’ll mitigate the flakiness in a few days.

And because Paula’s Choice‘s having a promotion this month: 25% off any 5 items, 20% off 4 items, and 15% off 3 items, I decided to try out a couple of her new products. And boy am I in love!

I’m loving this HydraLight Moisture-Infusing Lotion for normal to oily/combination skin ($18.95). This water-based oil-free lotion IS ultra light like you wouldn’t believe. My skin feels like a straw that just sucks in the moisture as soon as I put it on and it feels smooth and silky matte, absolutely no trace of residue. And knowing like all of her products, it is loaded with antioxidants. Since it’s so light, you can definitely layer this under another lotion or cream and sunscreen.

And the other one I got is Ultra-Light Weightless Finish SPF 30 Sunscreen Spray for all skin types ($11.96). I am estatic about it. It is the best sunscreen I’ve tried thus far for my oily skin. It’s even better than my beloved Shiseido sunscreen! I just want to shout it out from the rooftop. Lol. This sunscreen is literally like water, which makes it so hard to believe that it can provide SPF 30 protection in such a thin and clear liquid. It’s odorless and leaves no oil or white stuff behind. And of course it contains potent antioxidants and anti-irritants to boost skin’s environmental defenses. At first I was a little timid about ordering it. I still remember my unpleasant experience using Neutrogena’s spray sunscreen which made my skin so red and itchy because it had too much alcohol in it. Since then I’ve stayed away from sunscreens in the spray form. But after reading so many good reviews and knowing Paula would never put irritating ingredients like alcohol in her products, I went for it. And I am so happy I did. This will be a staple in the summer. Give this one a try if you are, like me, forever searching for that perfect sunscreen

Take care of your delicates with Soak

We all have delicate underwear and lingerie and we want to take really good care of them, right? And it seems it’s so easy screw it up when washing them doesn’t matter how careful you are being. I always hand-washed my underwear and bras with just regular soap. But with the rubbing and wringing done every time, it’s inevitable that they will fall apart eventually. I got these Soak samples after informing that “it is a no-rinse hand-wash solution for everything from lingerie, hosiery and swim to cashmere, silk and knits (even baby clothes, quilts and pets!), Soak’s fabric-friendly, gentle formulation revitalizes your fine fibers, keeping them in good condition, looking new, and smelling fresh with an array of scents to choose from. In touch with your sensitive side? Soak Scentless keeps your hand-washables (and sensitive skin) completely fragrance-free. No perfumes or dyes and a biodegradable, phosphate-free formulation in all Soak products, as well as recyclable bottles and water-based ink used on the packaging make it a fresh, ultra-clear and eco-friendly way to take care of the fine fibers you care about most. Just soak and squeeze – and your clothes will stay soft, vibrant and looking fabulous!”

NO-RINSE?! That’s impossible, I thought. Even when I hand-washed, I still had to rinse for at least 5 minutes to ensure all the detergent was washed clean because you certainly don’t want any residue left in fabrics like silk or cashmere. So I had to try it. It turned out to be really that easy and painless. I just left my underwear in Soak and cool water for 15 minutes and then gently squeeze out of the water and laid them flat to dry. The fabric felt incredibly soft. There was none of the film that I was afraid of. Now I want to get a full-size bottle.

Want new bags

My black Botkier Stevie satchel hasn’t left my side since I got it on Gilt a few months ago. Now it’s definitely time to switch out to something lighter, brighter, slightly less structured and less stuffy, with interesting details. It’ll be more of a fun impulsive buy, so I don’t want to spend too much. I’d be happy to get any one (or maybe two) of these.

Gorgeous white pants for spring

Gosh I don’t remember when was the last time I wore pants, let alone white pants. But Spring has finally come (it’s 15C/59F today!), crisp white pants just immediately come to my mind. And this year we have so many shapes for pants to choose from. I am a little conservative, will probably go for the classic straight-leg ones like the Alice + Olivia Olivia Wide Waistband Pants. Alice + Oliva always always makes gorgeous pants. If you are more adventurous, you definitely should try different ones, tapered, high-waisted, harem pant, etc.

KRITIK Striped Alia Hoodie

I gotta say this KRITIK Striped Alia Hoodie ($137 $41.10) is super cute. The little bit of ruching at bust and back, and the puffy sleeves are all very girly. I wouldn’t pair it with the matching shorts and bare my midriff though. It just looks pretty cheesy. I’d wear it with high-waisted sailor shorts, or a short romper and leave the hoodie unzipped.
