NEW BUY: Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water


~AG~
This popular drugstore cleansing water from Garnier has been on my radar for a while. This Cleansing Water removes makeup, cleanses and soothes the skin. It does not contain added fragrance and alcohol. Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water is designed for face, eyes and lips. I wonder whether it works just as well compared to Bioderma. Decided to buy the travel-sized version to try. This 125ml bottle comes with 60 uses. Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water costs S$5.90 at Watsons. While Bioderma Sensibio costs $15.90 for 100ml bottle. That is a significant difference in pricing. Garnier costs approximately $0.50/ml, Bioderma costs $0.15/ml.

Stay tuned for my review on this affordable Garnier Cleansing Water and whether it is a worthy dupe of Bioderma Sensibio.

NEW BUY: Drugstore Eyeshadow Palette

~AG~

A late post on two drugstore eyeshadow palettes that I purchased a few months ago in the USA. While browsing through my favourite Target, I saw this Almay Shadow Squad. The neutral colors of 120 Never Settle look perfect for everyday use. For work, I usually use a single swipe of shade for the whole eyelid. I prefer neutral shades such as shimmery peach, gold, light brown or any brightening shade.The great thing about this eyeshadow palette is that there are 4 finishes: matte, satin, metallic and glitter. The best part of all is that is only costs US$6.99 (S$9.60)



Wet n Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Palette is a popular drugstore product. MG bought a Wet n Wild eyeshadow palette many years ago and she mentioned that it was pretty good. This eyeshadow palette comes in 10 shades and costs only US$4.99 (S$6.90). Wet n Wild Eyeshadows are known for their pigmentation. The palette I chose is 759 Comfort Zone.  For this palette, I chose darker shades (green, blue and browns) that would be suitable for night look.

Peel & Polish, Glow Tonic and Rose Flash Balm
Pretty pink and green packaging
~AG~

Bought this Pixi Fast Flash Facial for US$22 (S$30) from Target. This set comes with travel-sized version of Peel & Polish, Glow Tonic and Rose Flash Balm. Step 1: The Peel & Polish is to be used 2 or 3 times a week to loosen dead skin cells and gently exfoliates the skin. This enzyme peel helps to resurface for smoother and softer skin. Step 2: Glow Tonic is an exfoliating toner with 5% glycolic acid. This best-selling product from Pixi is suitable for all skin types. Step 3: Rose Flash Balm is a radiance-booster for tired skin. It moisturizes, brightens and revitalizes the skin. 

Cannot wait to try these exfoliating products from Pixi. Stay tuned for my reviews of these products for an at-home facial.

I have used this mascara ages ago, and I remember being quite fond of it. Decided to buy it again to try it. You cannot go wrong, it was only US$7.99 from Walmart. I chose the waterproof formula because I have serious issues with mascara smudging. I will let you readers know when I start using it :)
