Aura by Swarovski Lipstick

亲爱的，你最近好吗？

自从MH370那次悲剧，我每早起床都会跟男人说，我很开心每早起床可以见到他。
我算是一个常飞的人，所以我有时候也会幻想说，如果我是航班的罹难者，知道自己没有回头路了，那我应该要怎么样才能跟我家人交代一句： “喂，你们别再等我了，我回不来了” ⋯⋯

很悲对吗？感恩每早起来，我还是呼吸着⋯⋯

记得去年飞香港的时候，男人在机上送我一盒三支 Aura by Swarovski 水晶唇膏，就如图下。
上下两支比较不常用，不是太 Nude 就是太 Hot －比较不适合我的工作德性，外出的话应该会蛮特别的，下次用后再好好分享一下。

今天反而想介绍的是中间那支比较 Pinkish 的 Crystal Vintage Rose Lipstick。
看看此篇最后一张图片就知道，这支 Vintage Rose 的颜色有多好看，自然得来又带点 Sparkles，闪闪亮亮的；而且颜色很服帖，也很耐用，一天可能需要再补一次唇妆就好。

进入秋季，我最近的唇常常会出现干纹或死皮，所以涂上唇膏后我会另外补上一层 Transparent Lip Gloss or Lip Balm。我比较常用的牌子是 Shu Uemura 的 Lip Balm（这个下次真的要好好介绍一下，因为它真的太太太好用了，保湿度超佳！）

回到原题，有没有发现 Aura by Swarovski 这系列唇膏的包装很精致大方？
我每一次带出门都有朋友发现它的包装很好看，而且唇膏香香的，涂抹的时候也很顺很滑。
这是一支我非常推荐大家去试的唇膏，也是我应该会重复又重复再买的唇膏！

整体评份：♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ (5/5)

当女生真好，漂漂亮亮的东西多得很，记得开心归开心，别忘了跟你身边的人多说说我爱你。今日不知明日事，做人不要那么吝啬，是爱就要多说，是怒就尽早把它化作乐吧。

爱你们，祝你晚安！

人在香港：国泰航空 CATHAY PACIFIC

每一次飞香港，我们都是乘搭国泰航空的。

为什么呢？因为从香港返回来那一班机常常都是夜班机，我怕人在机舱里面会冻死，国泰机舱又是唯一一班会把舱内温度挑高一点的航机，所以飞夜班机是最舒服的。而且，它很准时，从来没有什么 FLIGHT DELAY 或 CANCEL 的问题。再来，我人又很喜欢看亚洲频道和吃亚洲机餐，所以其他的澳洲航班（比如 QANTAS 和 VIRGIN）我都通通看不上。还有，国泰航空的空姐也比较漂亮，而且温柔体贴得来，服务又很周到～～～（够虚伪了吧？^o^）

（注意咯，国泰航空是香港华民航空公司，跟泰国航空是不一样的喔？我也只是不想让大家误会了国泰的空姐都是人妖啊～）

在布里斯班登机的时候，男人给了我一个十分 SURPRISE 的 SURPRISE！

因为他把我们俩的机票升级到 PREMIUM ECONOMY 去，至于优待在哪里呢？

重点就在机位比较宽阔，而且机舱内比较少人、安静，也有私家厕所（不用跟其他人争上厕所）。至于食物方面当然也比较丰富，红白酒也可以多喝几杯，行李又比较快下，总而言之感觉就是比较 PREMIUM 就是了！（当然还有其他鸡毛蒜皮的优待，比如说被子比较厚，枕头比较大，电视屏幕比较大等等等等）

没骗你，真的是一餐接一餐啊⋯⋯
当时候我就在想，这一次会不会没到香港就先肥死呐？

从布里斯班飞往香港那一趟旅程中，我一共看了三部戏，一部是成龙的 “十二生肖”，一部是鬼佬戏，还有一部是发哥的 “赌神” （很久没看特别想念）。看着看着，空姐不知不觉来到自己身边递了一份礼物给我，说是男人给我安排的 SURPRISE？！

看到发哥在后面奸笑着我的唇膏吗？

有有有，我真的有被 SURPRISE 到，这套 SWARROVSKI 水晶唇膏我念了很久了，个个颜色都很好用，而且上了唇后颜色很耐，下次再好好介绍～

到了下机都已经是8、9点钟了，因为在机上吃得还有点饱，晚餐就随便找个 APPLEGREEN 沙拉吃就算了。在香港，即使到了10点钟个个餐厅都还是人山人海的，这个时候在街上找东西吃其实气氛还蛮不错的～

就这样⋯⋯ 咱们的第一夜就结束了。

其实不管机舱内有多舒服，一飞7、8个小时还是会觉得很疲累的。
你看我隔天一早的惨LOOK，眼耳口鼻肿得像个皮球一样⋯⋯

好了，下次再继续下一篇 ^____^

人在香港：UPPER HOUSE

这次在香港逗留了十夜，其中五夜住在金钟 (ADMIRALTY) 的 UPPER HOUSE。
听说谢霆锋和陈奕迅都住在金钟，常常在 UPPER HOUSE下面那栋 JW MARRIOT 酒店餐厅出没，可是我们怎么都没碰见他们呢？？？

UPPER HOUSE 是香港近期的热门酒店，这次又很幸运被 UPGRADE 到 SUITE，房间面积一共1230 sq. ft.，在香港算是平方比较大了。我们在网上经常听别人评它有多好多好，今天终于有机会让咱们大开眼界了！

从客厅、房间、浴室都能观赏到维多利亚港景～哇！真的很壮观～

我们的 SUITE 刚好坐落在 39 楼，傍晚的时候最适合坐在玻璃窗边欣赏港景了～

酒店的顶楼是餐厅和书房，餐厅待迟些再聊，书房面积很大，装饰大体舒服。

一般的酒店大厅摆设的都是一些WATER FEATURE，UPPER HOUSE 的 LOBBY 刚好相反，让我顿时觉得原来 FIRE FEATURE 也可以很有特色！

我有很多喜欢 UPPER HOUSE 的理由，特别是它那 360 度的维多利亚港景，所以我会建议朋友也去试一试。可是跟我们之前住过的 LANDMARK MANDARIN ORIENTAL 相比的话（点击这里），我跟男人都举脚赞同 LANDMARK 的确会比 UPPER HOUSE 更优胜，服务方面 UPPER HOUSE 真的需要更加加油咯！

袭港记第一篇暂时就到这里，下次再继续！

祝你周末快乐～

SKII Facial Treatment Essence Review

Welcome to 1st day of MAY!!!

So... THREE weeks have elapsed since our last chat about SKII ^^

I have never used any product from SKII before, so this is pretty exciting for me!

I bought these products weeks ago during a mega price drop at Sasa website, because I was convinced that the facial treatment essence may help to resolve some of my biggest skincare dilemmata - dry, dull, flaky, red and uneven skin... pretty much everything... You name it!

And because my skin is so sensitive, I can barely tolerate any make up on my face.

My skin problem has always been an ongoing issue since I was very young. Looking back, it is really bizarre as my two brothers have really good complexion, sometimes it makes me wonder where on earth did I inherit this from? Well... because of my rosy cheek, I find most of the time there isn't even any need to apply blush on my cheek! This is how bad and how sad it is......

Until I get my hands on the miracle water...... and I embark on my first miracle journey with SKII!

Overall, I think this facial treatment essence has helped very little on my dry and flaky skin, although it has significantly calmed and reduced the redness on my cheek. I use it twice daily, morning and night, after washing and/or exfoliating my face.

There are three ways of which you can apply the miracle water on your face:

1. Pour a couple of splashes onto palm and pat it straight onto face

2. Soak cotton pads with treatment essence and place them onto face

3. Transfer essence to a spray bottle and spray it liberally onto face

Either way you are going to waste some of this miracle water...... unfortunately!

I prefer to pat it straight onto my skin because I can gently massage my face at the same time too.

Also, does anyone notice a mild pungent smell from the water too?

It reminds me of sushi rice......^^

If you ask me if the price for this product is justified? I think it is worth for its every penny.

However, SKII facial treatment essence should not be used alone in your skincare practice.

At the moment, I am using the following regimen:

Neutrogena cleanser ---> SKII facial treatment essence ---> Clinique laser focus ---> Clarins moisturiser

It is worth noting that the final moisturiser step is crucial as using serum alone does not provide sufficient hydration to the skin. And due to its smaller molecular size, SKII serum should always be applied before the moisturiser but after cleansing the skin.

And because my skin cannot tolerate any harsh chemical, most of the time I only apply tinted moisturiser on my skin. Even so, I can still spot the dermatitis around my nose and minuscule milli under my eyes.

I am still looking for solutions to these (wish me luck)!

Please let me know if you have any special trick or remedy to share (^_^)

NB: Dear sweetheart, if you are reading this, I would like to thank you wholeheartedly for your endless love and support in helping my skin to recover. He has been compounding cream after cream to help my dry skin to surviving through this winter.

Thank you for reading again.

Have a wonderful day!

The Landmark Mandarin Oriental Hotel

The LMO hotel is the most luxury hotel I have stayed at so far......

It is located at the hub of Central's business district, adjacent to MTR and HK Airport Express stations.

It is the hotel we usually spend a few nights at every time we visit Hong Kong.

I like almost everything about this hotel. From the contemporary design to its legendary service.

The hotel staff were very accommodating, friendly and thoughtful. It just made us felt like VIP celebrity guests throughout our stay at this hotel. The refreshing aroma that came from within welcomed us as we walked in and the oriental music (at the background) was very tranquillising.

If you are keen to have a harbour view from your room though, LMO hotel may have the view limitation but honestly this hotel has a lot more to offer than just the view. We don't mind it at all.

We stayed at L600 Premier and L900 Suite on two separate occasions, and Alex and I agreed that both rooms offered very distinctive experiences. Overall the room was considerably spacious.

What impressed us the most was its unique spa experience available in your private room.

You will soon see why.

#1 Classy hotel lobby with aromatic scent lingering within.

There were plenty of books and encyclopaedias to keep you occupied while waiting for your coach to arrive.

#2 Lift waiting area with marble flooring.

We were humbly greeted by the Japanese duty manager, Miwako upon our arrival.

She was very attentive when she showed us to our room and took a few pictures for us too!

Not long after checking in, we were served with a pot of aromatic rose tea and some tasty macaroons.

On the second occasion, we earned a promotion to L900 Suite. As we walked into the suite, the first thing we noticed was the massive bath/spa tub in front of us! It was terrific!

Yeah... as you can see, the bathroom was completely surrounded by glass doors and windows.

But don't worry, we did not go naked in front of the windows. The blinds can be automatically turned down for privacy reason.

And by the way, I like the double sinks and TV to watch while bathing!
