I'm such a fake.🙋🏻‍♀️⁣ .⁣ .⁣ Cos

I'm such a fake.🙋🏻‍♀️⁣
.⁣
.⁣
Cos my makeup looks fine in this picture but really quite horrible up close. 🙈 There are obvious dry patches and my pores are so obvious!⁣
⁣
This is the second time I'm using Juice Beauty Flawless Phyto-Pigments Flawless Serum Foundation but both times turned out unsatisfactory. ⁣
⁣
You see, the consistency of this serum foundation is very watery but it dries up really quickly even on my palm. I had to work quickly but this serum foundation just doesn't adhere very well to my skin.🙁 In fact, I had to spend a longer than usual time and spray a lot more of the Tatcha Luminous Dewy Skin Mist to get it to look right.⁣
⁣
I'm going to switch up my sunscreen and try again a third time to see if it'll do better.🤞🏼If it still doesn't, then I can conclude that foundations in the clean category just don't work for me. I've had more misses than hits. 🙅🏻‍♀️ Either the coverage is too poor, or the foundation is too drying. So far, the only one that worked well for me was Three Flawless Ethereal Fluid Foundation. But it's not a squeaky clean formula as it contains silicones.⁣
⁣
SIGH.🤦🏻‍♀️⁣
⁣
So really, what foundation do I use? Clarins and Chalotte Tilbury. Yeah, told you. I'm such a fake. I pursue clean beauty but I don't use clean makeup.🙊⁣
⁣
Can anyone relate? Or am I alone in this struggle? 😅⁣

Celebrating a small victory today. 🥳⁣
.⁣
.⁣
Hey friends, I’m so happy to report that I can finally put on a sheet mask! YAY! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼⁣
⁣
I’m heading into the 8th week after operating my left arm and just a few days ago, the doctor cleared me of wearing an arm sling.✌🏼 He was glad that everything is intact and no screws had dropped off.😂In his words, my recovery is on track! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼⁣
⁣
Earlier on, one of my regrets was not being able to put on a sheet mask.😕 Well, my left hand can now lift up high enough to help my right hand put on a sheet mask on my face. 🙌🏼 And the first mask I used was the Rovectin Dr Mask Aqua. ⁣
⁣
So yup, even though I've not fully recovered, I'm so thankful that by the grace of God, I'm being strengthened daily. ⁣
⁣
I can now sleep better. 😴 I can do simple household chores. I can bathe my little dog. 🐶 I also started to style my hair a bit with the hairdryer and my hair brush albeit a little awkward.😅⁣
⁣
Small victories...but they matter.😘They help me know that I'm moving forward, not getting stuck. They help me remain hopeful, not defeated. ⁣
⁣
Happy week ahead y'all! 🌻 Is there something you can celebrate today? 😉⁣

👋🏼 Not using hand creams during Covid.⁣
.⁣
.⁣
I’ve started to organize my skincare and as I looked at my hand cream stash, I realized I hardly used them over these few months of staying home. ⁣
⁣
That’s so strange.🤨 I somehow avoided using them during this period. Maybe it was because I preferred moisturizing my hands with a lighter lotion or because I wasn’t motivated to use them due to my injury, my hand creams laid around almost unused.⁣
⁣
Anyway, I’m sure I’m the odd one here.🤔Pretty sure most gals are reaching out for their hand creams a few times a day during this season...right?🖐🏼🖐🏼🖐🏼

Coffee for your eyes? ☕️👀⁣ .⁣ .⁣ Toda

Coffee for your eyes? ☕️👀⁣
.⁣
.⁣
Today, I'm doing a quick comparison between two eye products containing caffeine as their main ingredient.✌🏼⁣
⁣
🤎 The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG⁣
☕️ Description: This light-textured formula contains an extremely high 5% concentration of caffeine, supplemented with highly-purified EGCG from green tea leaves. The goal of this formula is to reduce appearance of eye contour pigmentation and of puffiness.⁣
⁣
🤎 The INKEY List Caffeine Eye Cream⁣
☕️Description: This cream contains 2 key ingredients. Caffeine to reduce the appearance of puffiness and dark circles and Matrxyl 3000™ peptide to reduce the appearance of fine lines.⁣
⁣
⁣☕️ Texture: TO Caffeine Solution is viscous and one drop is enough for me in each routine. Though the serum is thick, it's not sticky and sinks into my eye area quickly.⁣
⁣
⁣☕️ Texture: The INKEY List is a lightweight cream that is non-sticky and non-greasy. ⁣⁣
⁣
☕️ Performance: ⁣I find The Ordinary Caffeine Solution works faster on me. Puffiness is tackled almost immediately upon application. I don't see that much effect with the INKEY List's. But I like that it's a cream formula so it's more moisturizing for me to use in the night.⁣
⁣⁣
☕️ Price: The Ordinary's is US$6.70 for 30ml⁣ while the INKEY List's is US$9.99 for 15ml at Sephora.com.⁣
⁣
⁣☕️ Reviews: 1274 reviewers rated The Ordinary Caffeine Solution at 3.9 while 1013 rated The INKEY List Caffeine Eye Cream at 4.1.⁣ Source—Sephora.com on Aug 28.⁣
⁣⁣
💁🏻‍♀️ My choice this round is The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG. ⁣
⁣
👉🏼 My biggest concern about my eye area is my eye bags that tend to make me look tired. The Ordinary Caffeine Solution worked very well for me to reduce the look of my eye bags. So this is my top fave product from The Ordinary. ⁣
⁣
👉🏼 The INKEY List is quite average for me but it might benefit someone with concerns about lines and wrinkles around their eye area. ⁣
⁣
Anyway, I sometimes use both together in my PM routine. ☕️☕️⁣

💁🏻‍♀️ Do you reapply your sunscreen?⁣⁣⁣
.⁣⁣⁣
.⁣⁣⁣
I know the general instructions about sunscreen is to reapply every 2 hours but really, is it necessary?🤔 Because I don't...at least not on a daily basis.😓⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
And the main reason I don't reapply daily is because I wear a physical sunscreen with zinc oxide.👈🏼 I've learned that zinc oxide particle breakdown under UV light over time is slower so if I don't rub and I don't perspire, the sunscreen won't wear off a lot especially if I'm indoors until I wash it off. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Also, it's just not practical for me to reapply my sunscreen especially if I'm wearing makeup.😫 Mineral foundation? Well, I've tried in the past but that makes my face quite dry.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
BUT it's an entirely different story when I hit the beach 🌊 or do any outdoor sports under the hot sun!🌞⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
I'd reapply EVERY HALF HOUR especially if I'm in the water. No kidding!😳😅⁣⁣⁣
⁣
You'll see me with a sunscreen on hand and my face, neck and hands would be ashy white.😱 And I don't care. I'll don my sunnies, my straw hat and still hide in the shade.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
👋🏼 Okay, if you're wearing a chemical sunscreen, you'll probably benefit from reapplying because chemical sunscreen ingredients are inactivated by UV light over time more quickly. But again, if you're indoors most of the time, maybe it's not entirely necessary if you can't or don't want to. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
So do you reapply your sunscreen? How do you do it?⁣⁣⁣
.⁣⁣⁣
.⁣⁣⁣
.⁣⁣⁣
P.S. It’s more important to apply sunscreen liberally. Recommended amount is 1/3 to 1/2 for your face and neck. 😉⁣⁣
