Haven’t been writing much about my skincare & cosmetic recommendation. Partly because I was using stuffs I made and partly nothing’s excited in the market. But that won’t hold for long.
Some bath products I’ve got from Bangkok earlier:
1. Harnn Lavendar Sugar Body Polish Oil Gel
This is a really mild and nourishing bodyscrub. The texture is totally wierd because it does indeed sit inbetween a scrub and a gel. The scrubing action is extra mild since it’s using sugar. It’s added vitamin E & rice oil gives you that extra nourishment.
2. Harnn Oriental Herb Bath Salt & Oil
I am hooked on lemongrass and these products are infused with Lemongrass, Kaffir Lime, Basil & ginger. Great products especially for the summer for its mild antiseptic & enhance circulation features.
Other recommendations:
1. Sothys Hydroptimale® THI3 Mask
I’ve been searching high and low for a great hydration mask and finally I came across this. A brand with a lot of reputation in the professional arena but I was a bit put off by the fragrance they put in it. Fortunately this mask is relatively gentle in the smell department and the hydrating action is superb. To make the full use of it I would massage the mask into my skin after 5-8 minutes idle time, slap on my usual lotion and viola! Your face is plumped instantly! I am planning to try to Hydroptimale® THI3 Intensive Serum from the same series because my skin seems to be immute from Jurlique’s recover gel. You can order it online from the skinstore.com. Register and you’ll receive coupon from them every now and then!
2. Shiseido Maquillage lip gloss
A shimmering lipgloss with a really attractive price tag. Basically this is a drugstore brand in Japan and for around US18 you’ll get yourself a nice shimmering lipgloss that can be wore by itself for that natural gloss or on top of your favorite lipstick to add more drama. I like it because it doesn’t give me that stickiness I hate.
3. DIY facial hair remover
This is the best deal I’ve came across so far. Forget about tweezing til your eyes are crossed – for US$2 only you can buy a little gizmo to remove your facial hair. It’s based on the string tweezing concept from ancient Chinese. The bonus is you can do it anytime anywhere without the need of a mirror. (i.e. watching TV hahahaaha)

That’s it for now. Happy shopping~
