Product review: Benefit Foaming Face Wash

I am constantly on the hunt for the perfect skin care products, so when the salesgirl introduced me this new face wash from Benefit thru a demo on my hand, I was impressed at its pleasant fragrance, and how rich it lathers up. 

Now I have used it for over one month, would give it a fair review for those who intend to purchase one.

The size of a 5-cent coin of  the product is all I need each time, it lathers it up nicely. Overall it does a decent job in cleansing my face without drying it out. However, on days when I wear waterproof eye makeup or mascara, I'd have to use my makeup remover prior to washing my face. 

The design of the packaging is very cute at first sight. However it is not practical as it is so stiff which makes it difficult to squeeze the product out. Now it is only the 4th week I used it, suppose there are still plenty of product in it, yet I gotta shake really hard to get it out. Thats a chore especially in the morning when I dont have much time to get ready.

I like the fragrance which is refreshing, but it is not essential to me for an everyday facial wash.

Benefit Foaming Face Wash is available in Sephora store, at 35sgd for 127.5g. It is rather pricey for a ok face wash. 

Will I buy it again? No. With this price tag, I personally think there are better options.

HydraFacial treatment

I had the great honor to try this HydraFacial treatment at Dr Pat Yuen's clinic last week, by two lovely ladies Maryanne and Jihua. I enjoyed it as throughout the entire treatment there was no discomfort at all, unlike the traditional facial treatments I had at different beauty salons all these while. I'm sure who have oily to acne-prone skin definitely understand what I mean! Nobody likes the torturing part of 'squeezing' if you have pimples, or sometimes black/white heads on your face...

The instant result I noticed was my skin was SO brightened up and super soft to touch, however I was slightly not convinced as my pores were still looking the same. But miracle happened two hours later. My whole face look so lifted-up, glowing like never before, and my pores shrunk! Truly amazing!

Right now I'm monitoring my skin changes, and the duration of this positive effect. Will update on this again.

And surprised there is a clip on Youtube, for those who might be interested.

Brunch @Tanyoto

I love it when my day is filled with great food good friends and interesting conversations. Speaking of great food, Tanyoto steamboat has it on my top list. I always enjoy its tasty soup base(mala is a must!), extremely fresh ingredients and the nicely complementary dipping sauces. Yum! It is a cool place to dine in with family friends colleagues and all, only not ideal for first date perhaps since it can get a bit messy ;) For those who might wanna give it a try, I suggest purchase the vouchers from Qoo10.sg AKA Gmarket, to enjoy the discounted price which usually ranges from 18.8$-24$, otherwise walk-in price would be 49$ for the same deal.

Zhiwei and I went there for brunch today, she is very fussy when coming to fish, still she commented the fish head was nicely prepped. And my favourite? That'd be fish head, fillet, cuttle fish, crabs, and the very helpful and cute waiter:)

My day ended with a rewarding shopping at Sephora, lotsa beauty products to celebrate for my new job tomorrow.

Till next time, wish me good luck. :)

'TGIF'

It's been a very trying week, emotionally and physically. Headache is such a freak she seems always like to walk hand in hand wif me everytime when I have my period. Even wif loads of coffee, and comfort food I'm feeling worse than dead now.

I don't have the habit of writing sad diaries, because real pain is always beyond the description of words, is when you don't say anything, but your eyes are flooded wif tears. 

Weekend is here. But it is not here for me.
