Surprising Finds!!!

Have you ever gone shopping and then found stuffs that you didn't expect to come across?? That feeling is just like discovering some sorts of treasures!!!!! And what makes it even better??? How about a discounted price?? =)

I was shopping at Rexall (a Canadian drug store) the other day, and I actually have never been to a Rexall before (I usually shop at Shoppers Drug Mart) but I was going there to look for NYX products specifically. But what I found in the end was even more exciting.........

OMG, I was literally screaming inside my heart when I saw the Befine exfoliating cleanser!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never knew that Rexall carries Befine products. In fact, I don't even know if they do because these Befine products are in the clearance section and there isn't another section for their products in the store. And since they are in the clearance section, they are all discounted!!!!!!!

I first heard about the Befine exfoliating cleanser from Ingrid, who is missglamorazzi on youtube and I think she got a sample of this cleanser in her Birchbox and she loves it. After that, I heard a few more girls on youtube raved about this cleanser and I was really interested to try it out. However, at that time, I couldn't really find a way to purchase this cleanser and I was telling myself that unfortunately this is another product that us Canadian don't get to try...=(

I guess I was wrong then!! And I'm so glad that I was wrong!!!!

Of course without any hesitation, I grabbed the exfoliating cleanser. I was thrilled when I got home and checked its retail price online. It is supposed to be $25 and I only paid about $12-14 for it (sorry I can't remember exactly the price and I don't have the receipt anymore)!!!!!

I have already used it once since I couldn't wait to try it out!! It is more abrasive than I thought it would be and you definitely need to massage the cleanser with a light hand. Since I have only used it once, I really don't want to comment too much yet. But maybe I will do a more detailed review on it after I have gathered more thoughts about the product.

I have also decided to pick up the Eye Brightening Treatment with avocado oil and it retails for $30 and I only paid about $17 for it!!! I have started to use it in conjunction with my Olay cucumber eye gel and I haven't tried it long enough to say anything about the product. However, I must say I don't really like the pump. I thought I would like the packaging since it is more sanitary but the pump is so hard to use. It always pumped out more products than I need and I have tried to push it slowly and gently but it is not cooperating.





That's why people say you never know what you are up to when you are shopping~ =P

Eye Creams

 I use eye creams on a regular basis and I think it is important to start preventing any skin problems around the eyes area at a younger age. I pretty much started to use eye creams a few years after I started to use skincare products regularly (as I recall =P).
To me, moisture is the key thing I look for in an eye cream since I don't want to put too heavy products around my eyes yet.

Here are some eye creams that I have used up recently, using currently, and want to try in the future.

Used up: It's skin --- Moisture System Eye Cream 

You may not be familiar with this brand "It's skin" because it is a Korean brand and my parents got this for me while they were at Korea last Summer. This is a HUGE tube for an eye cream and it seriously lasted me for soooooooooooo long!!!!!!
It is actually more of a gel texture rather than a cream and overall I think it is pretty hydrating. It doesn't have any overpowering scent (which is good) and I also like how it is in a tube. =)
I don't know if I am in love with it, it is a decent product but I find myself liking slightly more than a gel when it comes to eye creams. This It's skin eye cream is more than other eye gels I have tried but not to the extent that I would like it to be. However, that being said, I think this product is great for Summer because I don't know if I can actually put a cream under my eyes in such a hot & humid weather (especially when I travel back to HK)...=S

Currently using: Olay cucumber eye gel 

As I just said, I don't like anything too thick when it comes to Summer and this Olay eye gel is definitely light. I used to enjoy it more but as I get older now, I think I prefer something thicker than this gel. 

It is very affordable, especially if I get this from HK (which I did). But I probably would not repurchase this in a short while because I really want to try something new. 

The Olay eye gel is certainly a basic eye cream/gel and I  would recommend it to anyone younger and want to start using eye products. 

What I want to try: Origins GinZing & Eye Doctor

I have heard many good reviews on these products, especially the GinZing eye cream. But of course when it comes to skincares, you really have to try it yourself to test things out.
I actually want to try GinZing for my Mum as well because she told me that she has problems with puffy eyes and I think the caffeine content in GinZing may help.
