What lurks on your dressing table?

What five beauty products could you not live without?
1. Shu Uemura eyelash curler. I’ll still curl my eyelashes even if I go out with no make-up whatsoever…
2. Crème de la Mer. I can go without my toner, essence, etc., but I’ve gotta have this one!
3. Facial wash - definitely a must! Would you wash your face with hand soap? I thought not… 
4. Vaseline - I hate having dry and flaky lips, so I apply Vaseline on my lips every night before I go to sleep.
5. Hmmm…can’t think of anymore, but if pressed, I would probably say whitening essence, coz I’m fair and I get freckles easily!
What’s the worst beauty mistake you’ve made?
Probably the same beauty mistake that most people make…pressing a pimple that I should’ve left well alone and watching it flare up like Mt. Krakatou!
What’s your skincare regime consist of?
Step 1, cleanse with SKII facial wash
Step 2, apply toner
Step 3, apply Whitening Essence
Step 4, moisturize with Creme de la Mer
Step 5 (morning), protect with SPF 18 UV protection fluid
Step 5 (night), pamper eyes with eye balm
And once a week, exfoliate using la Mer’s The Refining Facial.
Favourite beauty treat?
I previously used SKII’s Facial Treatment mask every week, but then I got lazy (and there’s still a couple more sitting in the fridge). Right now, the beauty treat that I always look forward to is my Friday night scrub using la Mer’s The Refining Facial. It contains fermented acidic sea muds which doubles as a mask, and the polished sea quartz and diamond powder leaves my skin feeling silky smooth and soft!
What’s your favourite beauty store?
Well, many of the cosmetics and skincare counters are always found inside a shopping centre like Jusco, Metrojaya, Parkson…and I don’t use products from MAC, Bodyshop, etc. which has standalone stores, so I suppose my answer would be…none!
Favourite budget brand?
Not a favourite per se, but I do use, and like, Maybelline’s mascara…
Favourite premium brands?
Armani considered premium brand ah? I use their sheer cream blusher…me likey!
And what about skin care: Favourite premium and budget brands?
Premium: La Mer, coz everything that I’ve bought from this brand simply works!
Budget: Hmm…I usually go all out for a particular brand when it comes to skin care, and currently, all my skin care products are either La Mer or SKII, so no budget brands at the moment.
And hair care?
Currently using K-Pak shampoo and conditioner by Joico. The conditioner has a banana-ish smell that I totally love coz it remains me of being at the beach.
What’s your ‘every girl must own one’ item?
Hmmm…for me, it’s a toss-up between a good moisturizer vs. UV protection cream. Considering how bad UVA/UVB rays are to the skin, I would have to say the latter. After all, some of these creams can double up as a moisturizer anyways! Oh…that, and an umbrella…
And finally, best beauty tip?
Haha…like Le Geeque said…this is easy! Drink lots and lots of water, and stay out of the sun! 
Tag-a-tag-tag…
1. Paris Beaverbanks, coz this girl has a website solely dedicated to beauty and make-up!
2. M @ Pitter-Potter
3. Pinkelle
4. Little Miss May
5. Ms. Fair Face
As usual, ignore me if you don’t feel like doing it…
On the way to Ipoh
For some reason, the traffic towards Ipoh on Saturday was B.A.D. We left after lunch, about 12.30pm, and we only reached at 3pm.
What’s worse…
I had one big cup of Taiwanese bubble tea.
There were intermittent traffic jams for no apparent reason (no accidents, no roadworks…).
TWO consecutive rest areas were closed… 
I hopped out of the car like my tail was on fire as soon as we reached the Tapah rest area!
Will blog more about the trip, the past Friday’s outing with K&SY, and tonight’s unsatisfying dinner tomorrow!
