Purchase of the day and Mask of the day

Was at Chinatown Point this evening. Stepped inside Body Shop and was promptly "chased away" by over-eager sales girl. I don't know who thought them the knowledge that by following you around the shop, you will buy their product. Seriously? Has it ever worked?

Anyway, ended up going to Watson and picked this up.



It's Tide To Go, Instant Stain Remover.

I saw its advertisement in a magazine a really long time ago. Interested to try one since I successfully stained every single one of my white blouse. Seriously. I can wear white, stay away from any coloured stuff, and still ended up with a mysterious stain.

Anyway, tried it out on my dress (yes, I've stained something during lunch) and it kinda worked. I didn't take a picture of the stain, but you should just take my word for it. It really worked for small stains.

Haven't been wearing any face mask for a while, so scrubbed my face with Angels on Bare Skin from Lush and slapped on some Laneige Water Sleeping Mask.



I really should do a proper review on this mask. Been using it once or twice a week since May 2010. Did I feel significant difference on my skin? Not really. I guess it's also because my skin isn't exactly parched or really dry. I just wanted a moisturizing mask to balance out my scrubbing. Yes, I actually believe you should balance things out. If you've been exfoliating a lot, you should also moisturize. Also because I sleep in an air-conditioned room, so it's good to have the skin moisturized overnight once in a while.

Angels on Bare Skin kind of grew on me. Bought this in December 2008 when I was in Melbourne. Back then I wasn't really into beauty stuff, so I didn't really know what I was buying; only after I read some blogs in 2009 (yes, very very late) did I realized that this product is one of the "must-buy" from Lush.

The scrub is not bad (yes, I classify it as a scrub because it has lots of grainy stuff in it). It's rough but gentle at the same time. It didn't scratch my skin, yet my skin felt really soft after rinsing the scrub off. Will I repurchase? Depends. I didn't remember paying that much money for it(I would've remembered the pain of spending so much money for soap), but I wouldn't repurchase if the price had been increased. I didn't really like the smell though, it's too herbal-y for my liking.
