[ Empties ] 用光光 February 2017

大概3月底要搬屋.為了減少搬屋時的雜物,這陣子很努力地用光光我的東西.因為有很多東西都已經有出過mini review,所以用後感就不多講了.

(English: I have been working so hard in using up all my beauty stash as I need to move to another flat at late March. Some of the stuff already appeared my in previous mini review so I will just keep things short and sweet~!)

4) MIOGGI 雪映水漾美白牛初乳潔面粉 70g (右)
推薦 / 回購? (Recommend / Repurchase?)  NOT REALLY....
洗面粉,但PACKAGING 不行,蓋子用久後會合不上,令到入面的潔面粉很易結塊.但這個產品本身都不錯.入面有少少磨砂粒子,起泡力不錯,用後不會覺得乾.但沒有太大回購衝動.

(English: It is such a bad packaging which the lid was not able to close tight after a few uses. As it is cleansing powder, the powder would stick together afterwards..... But the product itself is pretty nice, lather up pretty well, a little exfoliate effect and not drying after rinse. Indeed, I may not consider to repurchase at this moment.)

5) ORIGINS A perfect world antioxidant cleanser with white tea
推薦 / 回購? (Recommend / Repurchase?)  NO!!!!!
不想多講....很失望.這個東東起泡力不足,清潔力OK,但用後是一百個乾!!! 是感覺到繃緊的那一種,氣味又很不好聞.真的是垃圾!!!!完~!!!

(English: RUBBISH!!!!!!!!! Not able to lather up, average cleansing power and super duper drying!! It is literally drying and make my skin feel so so so so tight!! Bad and awful scent! Not worth trying, not worth the money!)

6) Acure Organics, Brightening Facial Scrub
推薦 / 回購? (Recommend / Repurchase?)  YES!!!!!
在IHERB 入手,便宜又好用的FACE SCRUB!!!用後沒有覺得明亮,但覺得去角質效果很好!我會用在臉及身體,真的很愛~!!!

(English: Purchased from iherb! Very decent face scrub,totally a budget friendly option! Not much brightening effect but pretty nice in exfoliating. I will use it on my face and body~! LOVE this little thing~!)

7) LA ROCHE POSAY THERMAL SPRING WATER SPRAY 温泉舒緩噴霧
推薦 / 回購? (Recommend / Repurchase?)  maybe
是一個很溫和的SPRAY,沒有太特別SOOTHING 的感覺.我個人還是比較喜歡avene 的.會入手是因為有一個value set.

(English: It is a very mild spring water spray, not very soothing compared with Avene's one. I would prefer avene one. Not planning to repurchase unless there is a value set.)


8) sofina 化妝水 II (MOIST)
推薦 / 回購? (Recommend / Repurchase?)  YES!
這個TONER 是叫做水凝柔膚露,用上真的覺得皮膚很柔軟!!!我用的是MOIST,雖然TONER 是很水狀,但用上覺得補水滋潤! 在台灣買真的很便宜,應該是HK$100 左右!大家到台灣可以大量入手~!

(English: Love this toner! It helps to soften my skin and moisturize my skin. It look like a pure watery liquid but it is really quite moisturizing! It is pretty budget friendly in Taiwan. If you just happen to see those in Taiwan, totally worth a try~!)


9) MIOGGI 生命水
推薦 / 回購? (Recommend / Repurchase?)  SOSO....
這個SAMPLE 是一次濕敷的分量.如果用作急救都沒有太大分別,用上是比較補水滋潤,沒有覺得很神...

(English: This is a sample for one time use. It claims to be the dupe of the SKII essence treatment water. However, these is not much difference on my skin after usage.....)

10) CETAPHIL DAILY ADVANCE ULTRA HYDRATING LOTION
推薦 / 回購? (Recommend / Repurchase?)  MAYBE....
之前有敏感,要轉換一些比較簡單的CLEANSER. 這個LOTION 是買CLEANSER 送的.這個LOTION 是很簡單的保濕滋潤.冬天其實很適合~!不過春夏就可能有點過油了.

(English: As I was having a bad skin allergic condition, I need to buy a more simple cream cleanser. This lotion sample come with the cetaphil cleanser. It is pretty hydrating and totally suitable under cooler weather. However, I doubt if it is suitable to use in Spring or summer as it would be a bit too moisturizing and oily.)

11) Azelique, Age Refining Day Lotion, with Azelaic Acid, Hydrating and Cruelty-Free
推薦 / 回購? (Recommend / Repurchase?)  MAYBE....
我用上了一枝,在抗老方面,沒有太大感覺....雖然是DAY CREAM, 但我日夜都會用.這個DAY LOTION 是很好推,很易吸收的! 用後覺得很滋潤.秋冬很適合!

(English: Not seeing any anti-aging visible result from just using one tube of product. Even it is called day cream, I would use it both day and night. It is very easy to absorb, a little goes a long way. Worth trying~!)

12) FRESH 紅茶抗皺緊緻修復液 BLACK TEA AGE-DELAY INSTANT INFUSION
推薦 / 回購? (Recommend / Repurchase?)  MAYBE....
這個toner,用上面真的覺得很補濕,真的可以保持肌膚柔軟潤滑.而且覺得有點滋潤感,不是只是單單的補水. 但一枝full size 要HK$450, 性價比不算很高. 雖然很喜歡,但這個價位沒有令我想立刻衝去回購....

(English: It is very hydrating and kind off having instant boost on my skin condition. I pretty love this but it cost HK$450 for a bottle...... So... I do not have an urge to buy it instantly~!)

[ Mini Review 短評 ] Kiehl's TURMERIC & CRANBERRY SEED ENERGIZING RADIANCE MASQUE 薑黃紅莓速效亮肌面膜

又來一個mask review, 這個Kiehl's 薑黃紅莓速效亮肌面膜是比較少人提及的.用法是潔面後均勻塗抹一層面膜,5-10分鐘後,沾水輕力打圈按摩,然後以清水洗淨.這個mask 是淡黃的,入面有一些黑色的顆粒,有輕微磨沙作用. 打開有一點怪怪的香味,我估計是薑黃的香料味.用後的確有即是提亮的感覺,而且不會覺得乾.真的很推~!

(English: Here comes another mask review. This is Kiehl's Turmeric & Cranberry Seed Energizing Radiance Masque, it is less hype up in the Kiehl's mask community. I usually apply a visible layer after cleansing and leave on for 5-10 minutes. Rinse with water and massage in a gentle circular motion. The mask is in light yellow with little black grain which acts as face scrub. The scent of the mask is a bit spicy. (I think it is due to the turmeric...?!) The mask really bring instant brightening effect to my skin and not leaving drying. Highly recommend!!)

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

6月8日 (8th  JUNE)

一百日禁敗正。式。完。結! 已經努力在重回禁家路上! (已經叫朋友幫手到倫敦掃貨~!)

It is OFFICIALLY thr END of my shopping ban! There is certainly some haul blog post on the way! I just can’t wait to get back on the beauty shopping train now!

真的不敢相信自己可以完成這次一百日禁敗. (因為覺得自己都很喜歡買東西及好新鮮事,一直會覺得自己會忍不住,不停買!) 不過,整個過程,只是買了三次東西. (所以這個禁敗期限都延長了….)

Overall, I am pretty proud of myself for the achievement during this shopping ban. At first, I thought I would not able to finish this shopping ban and suppress my urge of shopping. Indeed, I have just shopped for 3 times during my ban leading to an extension of the ban.

我真心覺得我要整理一下我的MAKEUP COLLECTION. 好一些東西要送人或是丟掉. 我覺得我的化妝品要好好調整一下~!

After the shopping ban, I realize that I have way too much of beauty products which need to de-clutter. I would love to refine by collection bit by bit.

P.S. 過去一個星期,又去了拿FREE SAMPLE! 收到了兩枝香水,可以旅行時用,都不錯~!

P.S. I have got the above sample during the week. The perfume sample is perfect 

[ 敗家 ] 一百日禁敗之買物清單( SHOPPING BAN – To buy / To Do List)

差不多到SHOPPING BAN 的尾聲. 每次寫SHOPPING BAN 都會附上一個to buy list. 我想獨立開一個BLOG POST 去寫一下.(這樣,就可以給自己鼓勵, 叫自己努力捱過禁敗~!)

It is almost the end of my shopping ban!!! (HURRAY~~) Usually, I would put a to buy list / to do list at the end of my shopping ban update. However, the list has grown to such a long list now. That need to be put in a separate blog post!

#01 Beauty blender (~HK$400) : 一直都好想試這個神奇的化妝海棉,這個是貴價的東西. 真的算是給自己的獎勵! 而且我買了Beauty blender 後,可以與REAL TECHNIQUES 家的做比對. (心中還是有寫BLOG 的魂~!)

#03 Jo Malone Cologne / TOKYOMLIK perfume (~HK$1000): I am totally addicted to Jo Malone!!! ( You may take a look of my previous Jo Malone Blog Post!) I only bought Jo Malone Cologne in this recent year. And I cannot deny its cologne are very addictive! I am pretty interested in Tokyomilk perfume due to its sleek packaing!

#04 Afternoon Tea (~HK$300): 心水選擇為Four Season / Peninsula / The Market

#04 Afternoon Tea (~HK$300): My target are Four Season / Peninsula / The Market

#05 Liquid Foundation (~HK$250) : 想試bourjois HEALTHY MIX 及買回REVLON COLOUR STAY ( 之前買過,但用了兩次就不小心摔破了.幸好是開架品牌,不然會更心痛~!) 本來有點想買專櫃的,但我相信,要等下次SOGO 感謝週年慶了!

#05 Liquid Foundation (~HK$250) : Want to try bourjois Healthy Mix and might be buy Revlon Colour Stay ( I had one before but it was broken and shattered everywhere….) I wanted to try some high-end brands too, but I think I would wait for next Sogo sales event!

#06 Loose Powder / Compressed Powder (~HK$500) : 心中想買LUNASOL 或 LAURA MERCIER. 重點是要控油及沒有閃粉珠光~!

#06 Loose Powder / Compressed Powder (~HK$500): I wanted to buy Lunasol (used it before and liked it) or try Laura Mercier (totally new products to me). Anything with oil control purpose and no shimmer are welcome~!

#07 Flats / sneakers (~HK$500) : 有點兒想買TOMS 或CONVERSE 的. 想買一對舒服的FLATS, 平常行街可以穿~! (可以提升戰鬥力~!)

#07 Flats / sneakers (~HK$500) : I might go for a pair of TOMS or Converse, anything comfy would be nice. I totally need to wear flats for daily wear.

#08 Makeup base (~HK$200) : 想買LAURA MERCIER 的MAKEUP BASE (不過不想MISS 了優惠, 所以同樣要等年底的SOGO感謝週年慶 / CHRISTMAS). 但因為手邊的MAKEUP BASE 都差不多用完,所以應該會買SOFINA LONG KEEP BASE 代替~!

#08 Makeup base (~HK$200) : I always wanted to try Laura Mercier ( However, as I am gonna missed the Sogo Sales, I need to wait for next event too) As most of my makeup case are almost gone, I might buy Sofina Long Keep Base as to survive the hot summer.

#09 眼霜(HK$600) : 想買BOBBI BROWN 的眼霜.不竟,年紀大了, 感覺眼周需要更多保護. 之前用過BOBBI BROWN 的,感覺不錯~!

#09 Eye Cream (HK$600) : Eye cream is totally the savior for mature skin. As I am getting more mature now, I feel like I need more protection around my eyes. My target for eye cream is Bobbi Brown.

#10 精華(HK$500) : 想試KIEHL’S 的MIDNIGHT RECOVERY. 同樣, 因為中女之齡, 但又用不起ESTEE LAUNDER, 友人用過KIEHL’S, 說是不錯.所以,可以用一用~! ( 應該會叫朋友幫手在美國買給我, 價錢大約是香港的85折, 更便宜哦~!)

#10 Serum / Essence (HK$500) : Wanted to try Kiehl’s midnight recovery ( I consider it maybe a affordable version of Estee Launder Advanced Night Repair!?) My friend used the Kiehl’s before and she recommended. I think I might need my friend to buy me from US, which is cheaper than it in HK!

#11 SNAIL WHITE(HK$350): 正在用,感覺不錯. 所以想回購~! (之前寫了一個BLOG POST, 請按HERE   )

#11 Snail White (HK$350): I am using this whitening cream and think it is pretty nice. Totally want to re-purchase! ( There is a blog post about this snail white cream too! Please click HERE )

因為有許多東西想買,我覺得應該要為自己SET 一個BUDGET. 我相信HK$3000 應該是一個合理的預算. (可能對很多人來說,HKHK$3000 的化妝品好像太瘋狂, 不過以我作為一個beauty addict, 真的不算太多~!) 以上的清單,一定會超支! 所以我會努力再FILTER 一下, 不會全部都買~! (如果全部都買,要花個五六千….)

I can’t believe I am drafting such a long list! I think I am gonna set a HK$3000 budget for my reward! ( HK$3000 might sound a crazy fortune to some of you, but I am a beauty addict, this is not a large amount for me…) I believe I need to filter my shopping / to do list as the above item would cost approx. HK$6000!
