To be honest, I wasn't really thrilled when the Clarisonic first came out and received so much hype. But I just have been hearing so many great feedbacks of it and I have been struggling with small bumps on my face for the longest time and nothing will work!!! =(
A beauty blogger recently also suggested me to try the Clarisonic for the bumps problem I have and this convinces me even more to try out the Clarisonic!!!
And.... I am so in love with this baby pink version!! Not only it supports breast cancer research, pink is my favourite colour!!!
Should I invest??? It priced at $149, but it is more than that because you will have to replace the brush head every 3-4 months and I think each brush head is $25. This is certainly a long-term investment......
2. Urban Decay Naked Palette
Okay, I guess I need not to say anything about this Palette. Ever since I heard about it on Youtube, I just want to get it so badly!!!! BUT, IT IS JUST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND THEM!!!!!!!!!><
Although people said that they are back on racks again, I'm not sure if this is also the case in Canada... Oh, and here in Canada, it's priced at $58 at Sephora (versus $48 in the US).
3. Sephora Professional Platinum Blush Brush #49
I wanted to try this Sephora brush line because I saw missglamorazzi on Youtube constantly reaching for a blush brush from the same line. However, I think the one she has in particular is no longer available. I do not have an angled brush like that and I figured I can probably use it to apply blush/highlights.
4. Shiseido Softener (Toners)
I am running low on toner and I have been eyeing the Shiseido line. I remember I received samples of the Shiseido softeners before and my skin really did feel softer with that 1-2 uses.
However, I am really debating which one I should get...
- The Skincare Hydro-Balancing Softener $35
- Pureness Balancing Softener $24
- White Lucent Brightening Balancing Softener Enriched $48
I would really love to try to Hydro-Balancing one but since we are starting to enter Spring/Summer months, I am afraid that it will be too rich. But at the same time, I do not really have oily skin (well, maybe combination?) so I am not sure if the Pureness Balancing Softener will work for me. And last but not least, Asians just LOVE everything about "Brightening" or "Whitening". But the White Lucent line is significantly pricier and how much can a toner do to brighten up my skin?
I will definitely update if I have purchased any items from the above list!! =)
Love,

Lorraine, the Naked IS back everywhere now in the US...is it still not the case in Canada? They made it a little more expensive and did something a little different to it, forget what. That's on my to pick-up list as well, for sure! I haven't heard any bad things about it.
ReplyDeleteAs for the Clarisonic, ppl rave about it but for me, it's just "ok." But keep in mind I didn't have any skin issues before hand (I'm not certain how it'll work on the bumps you describe), so I wasn't trying to improve or fix anything. I just had dry skin flakes that tended to be unsightly around my nose and forehead and I wanted to exfoliate them off in a manner other than an exfoliation scrub (hate the thought of those!). It definitely gets rid of my skin flakes, and when I don't use it for a week I'll notice those unsightly flakes come back under my powder foundation.
