FOTD, long days at the office, which led to retail therapy

howdy ladies, today i bring you, my office look aka my 5 minute face.

i used the SUQQU holiday collection e/s quad, which has a grey/charcoal/brown tone. face done by LM silk creme foundation, bought it for $17 at blissworld.com, free shipping and free gift. original price is $42. you know how i love me some discounts!


my face crack

15 hours at the office make me look TOWED UP. dang man, if i could ever imagine, this is my amy winehouse dupe, looking mad high n ish.

long hours at the office almost always leads to retail therapy, either that or alcoholism. my recreation drug of choice is retail therapy. so i dropped by bergdorf to pay a visit to my long missed P&J counter. to my surprise, MERRADY doesn't work there any more!!~!!! my SA girl quit. =( it ain't the same w/o her.



Light Cleansing Milk - $28
Whitening Serum - $45
Eye cream - $36
got a free P&J reuseable bag. gotta show you guys next time



miu miu asked for the ingreidents. THIS IS FOR YOU GIRL! click to enlarge

light cleansing milk is used to remove makeup. but i don't think it removes everything, so i'm gonna use it as a face cleansing when i run out of my cetaphil. it's a light gel texture, gotta squeeze the bottle to get product out. leaves skin refreshed and matte looking. love the orange oil scent.. yumm. oh, this is a HUGE bottle for $28!! it's like a regular size bottled water size! good bang for your buck. i wish they had a pump though.

whitening emulsion. i needed something to get rid of the pimple scars, plus i think this absorbs better than the "regular" serum. it's a very light texture, feel hydrating, but with a little bit of massage, it will all sink in. i use it day and night, so far no problems at all. the only thing is that the bottle is very nice, good heavy glass feel. but the pump is plastic and kind of cheapo feeling. though it does pump out exact amount i need.

the eye treatment has a pretty thick texture. i had ahard time getting it out of the tube at first. the texture feels like it has a lot of silicone in it. it makes the under eye area very smooth, doesn't have the usual sticky eye cream feeling, which i hate. feels hydrating without overly oily. i'm afraid of using heavy eye creams, b/c i get those little white "fat pockets" on my under eye area if i use eye cream too rich for me. this won't make your concealor slip n slide either. overall, i think the eye treatment is a promising buy. squeeze tube so i dno't need to dig my finger in, good size for the price you pay.

i've just started using these this week, so i'm gonna hve to report back with results. but so far so good. no breakouts. products all sink in. the price i feel is pretty reasonable for skin care. i'm used to paying $70 on face serums and $30 above for eye creams. so this is a good price range i feel.

you can call bergdorf to get the items shipped for free. but if anyone of you guys really want to try the P&J stuff, i'll see if i can help you do CP. bergdorf definitely have a better price point than ichibankao (fuz said she paid more than 5000 yen for the whitening serum, isn't that $50?). also, bergdorf usually have restock of popular items, like they still have allthe disney items, all of the spring items, only 1 lipstick is out,but it's going to be restocked in 2 weeks. i just feel like a lot of girls are missing out on this great line b/c it's limited availability. which reminds me, how lucky i am to work 5 blocks away from bergdorf, saks, henri bendel and sephora... hahaha

anyways, hope your week's going better than mine. i'll tell ya guys next time what i had to go through this week..
