Let's Go Snoe!

A couple of months ago I blogged about the new toner that I've been using - Etude Wonder Pore Freshner. During that time it was part of my skin routine, and helped removed the traces of make-up. It worked so well, I even let LJ use it.

Unfortunately, as the big day is getting near, stress is just inevitable, and zits followed suit. I had to change to something that is a notch higher and decided to try Snoe's Star Night, Star Bright Night Perfecting Toner. I got mine by chance, and packaging is not as cute as Etude's, so it's a bit intimidating. It reminds me of spell potions, well, if it's a beauty potion, then why not give it a try. LOL!

Make-up Pick-me-up!

Etude is currently on sale, so I decided to swing by Megamall while LJ was spending a couple of hours at the gym. He allowed me to go alone with the condition that 1. I get back in time so we can still got to the Themes and Motifs’ Bridal fair and 2. I’ll get him some Spam Jam Musubi, deal!

The goal is to just go to Megamall, hoard Etude products and then get back home to finish some wedding planning… well I got a bit side tracked… hehe!

Wedding Duties: Skin Care

Wedding planning causes stress (ows? Di nga?!). For most of us, this means less sleep and more breakouts. I’m particularly conscious about it, because I frequently get skin bumps.

I have very sensitive skin, well, that’s an understatement. I tend to break out a lot when I was younger. If I can thank my mom for anything else aside from paying for my education, it will be the weekly visit to the dermatologist. The doctor never got to ‘cure’ the problem, but at the very least, it was controlled. Instead of having 10 new zits daily, I just have 9? LOL! I went there so often, and spent hours inside the clinic just waiting for my face to get a good pricking. Ouchy Saturdays, always! That’s been my life for years, even after college *sniff.* The episodes never really went away; I still get the bumps, but because I’ve gone through worse days, I’m just thankful that they are not as obvious or as many.

Despite my laziness, skin care is something I just can’t skip; after all, ito ang susi to lesser breakouts. The usual routine will be to cleanse, tone and moisturize, but I’ve never really liked the toners in the past. The derma provided a toner before, and it stings. It causes my face to have red patches and makes it raw which just adds more to the problem. I’ve survived the last decade without using any toner, so far so good -- well that was what I thought.

Long Weekend Kikay Stops

Since we are saving up, and we also missed the fact that it’s a super long weekend, we didn’t have anything special planned. We just went to the mall like it's any other weekend, except this time I was on a mission to get some beauty loot to update my stash. 

First stop, dropped by the Etude House. I figured you can't go wrong with a store over-flowing with pink.
