Clarisonic

recently i had been seeing this product everywhere! in sephora, on beauty blogs etc. and i was totally convinced to buy it! :D i've been using it for a couple of weeks now!

this is from their website:

While cleansing is the first step in any skin care ritual, it is often overlooked.  Typical manual cleansing can leave behind dirt and oil trapped in pores. This build-up can damage the appearance and health of your skin and keep your skin care products from working like they should. Used and recommended by spas and dermatologists, Clarisonic Sonic Skin Cleansing Systems use a patented sonic frequency of more than 300 movements per second to gently, yet thoroughly remove 6X more makeup and 2X more dirt and oil than cleansing with your hands alone. Cleaner skin is the first step toward healthier skin. And healthier skin is smoother, more radiant and more beautiful.

mm not really sure how much my skin has improved. it seems like the pores around my nose got smaller! but it might just be my imagination hahaha. i still have some pimples, but that's probably from the food i eat. i definitely do feel that my skin is much cleaner after each cleanse though! the clarisonic has an automatic timer such that it turns off after 1min, so usually i would rub in the cleanser to my face for a bit before using the clarisonic on it.

i havent seen any astounding results, but i like how my face feels cleaner after i use it :) hopefully it's a long run kind of thing and my face will become more matte as i continue using it! :)

anyway, it's retailing in singapore in sephora for $375, which is insanely overpriced!!!! :O i got mine from USA when papa went over for US$119 i think. you might want to try out this place http://skincarerx.com/clarisonic.html which ships to singapore, and is apparently still cheaper than if you buy it here!

my clarisonic died after less than one year!! :( dunno whether it short circuited or what, but it no longer works :'( and i can't bring it to be fixed because the warranty is for america. sighhh. do consider this if you're thinking of buying the clarisonic! 

Guess who got a Mac? :D

woohoo! :D i'm super happy haha. i got my Macbook Pro!!! :D :D :D yippee! i'm having an awesome lot of fun using it haha. it's damn cool! just one year ago, i was resisting the Apple craze, or rather, i was kinda adverse to it cos i was totally unfamiliar with how a Mac worked. i did use it previously for brief periods in school, and i found it SUPER hard to use! but...i admit defeat, i was wrong!!! haha after one year of seeing people use their Macs, and learning the basics of it, i'm hooked now. i love my Mac to bits!!! my new baby, together with my camera xD

and even better, i got the lion OS! :D haha actually i have no idea what's the difference between lion and snow leopard since i only used snow leopard for like, a day? so yup, not much difference for me. but haha, a Mac is just damn awesome. TOTALLY worth it :)

Canon S95

woots! my beloved new camera!!!!!!!!!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

im so happy i finally bought a new camera. and it's damn awesome to the max. the only thing i have to do? figure out how to use it :P

this is a semi-pro camera with some functions of a dslr. although i've been toying with the idea of getting a dslr, i honestly have no idea how to operate one and it would probably be a waste of money for me to get and it just use the 'auto' mode!! i was also contemplating another camera which is a really pretty pink colour and with pretty good specs as well! in fact, that camera is 14 megapixels with 14x zoom if im not wrong, which is better than the 10 MP canon s95. butttttttttt...it IS the canon s95 after all! haha. am i making sense or not? my point is, i decided to get a semi-pro camera to learn how to use the functions. for now i'm still in the auto mode, playing around with the fun features like fish eye, miniature and nostalgia! fun!! haha.

can someone nice please teach me how to use my camera?! :P
