G'day everyone ♥ ♥ ♥
These few days have been pretty hot and muggy down here... what about you over there?
I am so pleased that we have finally booked a late summer escape to Hong Kong next year!
Can't wait for it to come!!!
And this time... it will be one of the coldest times we spend in HK
(how excited!)
It is also going to be really special as we will be celebrating
VALENTINE'S over there as well.
And of course this trip will also open us a fat chance to go on a shopping spree
♥ ♥

Items currently on my checklist:
1. A nice brown / beige leather jacket
2. A handbag for everyday use (to replace my old Coach bag)
3. G2000 skirts for work
4. A Mont Blanc wallet
5. Ralph Lauren polos
6. Fashion tops and party dresses from local designers
7. Wedges and flats
8. Armani jeans
9. Skincare products...!!!
Oh dear...
Xmas is coming close! This year sure feels like it has gone too fast!
I was checking myself out in front of the mirror the other day and have only just realised how long it has taken me to accept seeing myself in black again. It has been a good change although I secretly still prefer a lighter colour ^___^
So have you started your X.M.A.S shopping yet?
Last week I was invited to Clarins Signature Facial (yes again!!!)
It was part of the annual xmas events organised by Clarins for its VIPs.
The package includes a 60 minutes facial plus consultation (which is redeemable on Clarins products).
The beauty therapist who looked after me on that day is much more qualified than the girl I usually see.
All I can say is that the overall experience was tremendous! I thoroughly enjoyed it!
This xmas gift pack came with the Clarins facial.
Each of these baubles contains a miniature skincare product.
Awww... how cute is that? I think they can come in really handy for travelling~
I bought this HydraQuench range on the same day - hoping that it will help to keep my skin moist especially after a long haul flight.
Now this is what I wanted to focus on...
Clarins Shaping Facial Lift was the STAR products used in my facial that day.
This product (contains caffeine) claims that it can help eliminate excess fat stored in face by improving lymphatic circulation. It has received plenty of good comments online and is very strongly recommended for those who want their face to look more lifted and slimmer... like me!
Before I left, the Clarins expert reminded me for the umpteenth times that I must remember to massage my face everyday (as she showed me) and drink ample water after that. Apparently these will help to drain away excessive toxins from your chubby face...
Packaging wise: the bottle design is still as great as usual... no mess at tip whatsoever!
And I find the nozzle looks a little charming too ♥ I don't remember seeing one quite like this before... wonder how this really works? care to explain... anyone?
This serum has a gel-like texture and smells wonderfully as I smear it on my face.
It is absorbed almost instantly and one pea-size can go a long mile...
I have been using it (with the following regimen) for over a week now...
Step 1 - Cleanser - Neutrogena
Step 2 - Toner - SKII Facial Treatment Essence
Step 3 - Pre-Serum - Clarins Shaping Facial Lift
Step 4 - Serum - Clinique Laser Focus (day) / Clarins Multi Active Serum (night)
Step 5 -Moisturiser - Clarins Multi Active / HydraQuench / Younger Longer (alternate every third day)
I have only just started to notice a slight improvement on my chin area, but the effect is only marginal...
Just like how some people like playing golf and some people like apparel shopping, facial is just my kind of favourite retreat ♥
Oh boy........ didn't realise it is so late now~
I guess it is about time to wrap up this post.
Well I hope you guys have enjoyed your weekend... will catch you again soon!
With love. Mia.
