Make-up is always the last thing in my mind when I’m planning for an outing. Even if it’s when meeting my girlfriends, who will doll-up and make on make-up, in town. When I do put on something, it’ll be minimum, with some powder coverage and concealer to cover my forever black dark under eyes and some lip and cheek color.

I do however have a very bad habit to buy a whole new set of cosmetics when I need to put on proper full makeup; for weddings, dinners and such. Most of these ended up used a few times and then into the trash. Only selected few get to be used on days where I need to go out for meetings or for formal events.

Lately, I feel that I need to start dolling myself a little else I’ll end up looking like a older hag than I am now. The little will include concealer for the dark under eyes, foundation for the coverage and a lip color to brighten up my face. shu uemura new lip colors came just at the right time when I was looking for a new shade to add to my collection.

My pick from the 36 shades of the rouge unlimited range is BG941. A beige shade that fits me pretty well.

shu uemura rouge unlimited collection indulge in a revolutionary formula that provides intense, long-term moisture. The ‘moisture lock cream’ creates a barrier layer that keeps three ‘moisture active’ ingredients close to the lip surface. These three moisture actives are jojoba seed oil, ceremide and shea butter.

From nude to bold, the new rouge unlimited lips colors are for all women who say it best with their lips. The new rouge unlimited has a sleek packaging, while maintaining its initial philosophy of providing convenience. With a transparent convex cap, it allows one to know the color in a single glance.

The new rouge unlimited range is available at all shu uemura beauty counters island wide at S$39.

After three months of twice daily application, I do see an improvement in the color tone on my face. I used to have uneven skin tone and looks yellowish at times. Now the color is more balanced and I do look fairer. I believe credit for this improvement goes to Shiseido White Lucent Intensive Spot Targeting Serum which I was first introduced in March. $159 for 3 months of usage, its not that expensive afterall. I’m on my 2nd bottle now, which I bought on White Day.

The other products in the range are finishing soon; either that or I aren’t using them as regularly as the serum. I’m a very lazy woman lah. Skin care is a touch and go thing for me. Morning and before sleep cleanse, tone and serum. That’s it.

Anyone of you using the serum too? Or has got other recommendation that worked? Would love to hear from you.

“我感觉有pimple要pop出来我就用，果然pimple就不出来了！”

That’s what my Mum told me after she tried the LMS Spotlights. I equipped her with the range of LMS Spotlights – 24, 8 and 3, few weeks ago, and she’s been using it every night before she sleeps. Though the recommended usage is to do it three times a day, Mum said she don’t have time to use so many times. She does carry the LMS 8 in her bag wherever she goes. I can picture her using it in the car while my Dad drives them back from work. Beep beep beep beep… for one minute.

On Monday, 3.14, I attended my first “public appearance” for 2011 at TANGS Orchard. The memories from Blogathon flashed back when I stepped onto stage. Almost felt there’s something about me and TANGS that got me back again. Perhaps its a sign? Hmm…

This time, I was invited by Shiseido to share about my whitening journey with White Lucent with guests at White Day 3.14.

Surprise surprise! Never have you imagined Claudia the Panda will be sharing about beauty in this blog right? I did write some pieces before but this time, I think I’m pretty serious about it. When Shiseido contacted me, I couldn’t resists but to accept. My mum used to love Shiseido products and she’d been telling me how good they are. But being the panda me, my face is like the least I spend time on, except for the daily routines and the facial package which I rarely use these days.

2011 is such an exciting year ahead for me, I’m beginning to pay more attention to my skin and body. So this opportunity came in the right time. I would like for you to join me on my journey towards clearer and brighter skin…

To help kick start my whitening journey, the above were what I got in my personal “starter pack” with compliment from Shiseido.

“Tweet! Tweet!” I’ve came to become a huge giant bird after I started consuming Avalon Detox capsules. Mum started taking Avalon since more than a year ago. She kept asking me to eat it too but I’m such a lazy person when come to regular consuming of vitamin pills or detox pills like this one.

But when Mum brings one pill to me every night before she sleeps with cup of water, what other reason should I give not to take it? So I’ve been eating one Avalon capsule a day for the past 4-6 months (I think). Did it help me the way it should? I’m here to share with you how it had helped with my dieting… “My rebirth of wellbeing…”
