My L'oreal Haul + NOTD! ^^

If you noticed my tweets this week, you may have know this..
I've been strucked by bloggers block! >_<
And it's no fun at all..
I online every day, of course, but every time I want to make a new post, I simply don't know what to write.. Not cool..T_T

So, in effort to bring back my inspiration..
I did many stuff:
I listened songs from my iPod.. so many songs.. not working.. =(
I went outside, to the mall, restaurant, I even ate ice cream! Still.. nothing..
I watched movies.. Charlie & The Chocolate Factory.. It made me wanna buy chocolate, so I did buy some Ferrero Rocher, and Delfi chocolate bar with hazelnut.. My.. It's a guilty pleasure, hehe.. ^^ (yes, I'm a big fan of chocolate.. ^^ )

But, you know what made my inspiration back??
I think I read it somewhere, "if you don't know what to write, just keep on writing.."
It's a very good quote!^^
So, I did..
I keep on writing..
I searched online on how to write on web, and found a great site named My Writing Nook, which is a very good site for writing using web tool, so I joined it right away.. ^^
I think I wrote a full paragraph until I realized.. hey.. I still have my inspiration, right?? My fingers are dancing on the keyboard, no stress, no pressure..
I'm just enjoying my moment.. I'm still ME!!! ^^ (gosh, I'm so happy I can say that out loud..) So, here we are, in my current post, hehe.. ^^ OK then, enough introduction, unto the main course! ^^ It's my L'oreal haul! ^^

Wow, I have so many L'oreal products, I haven't noticed it before, hehe.. ^^ from left to right:

~L'oreal Gentle Makeup Remover Cleansing Milk L'oreal Gentle Makeup Remover Toner (I use it to remove my makeup, but it's almost empty, though..)

~L'oreal Gentle Eye & Lip Makeup Remover (I only use it if I wear mascara and eyeshadow..It doesn't hurt my eyes.. ^^)

~L'Oreal Elseve Re-Nutrition Night Serum (my fave at this moment!)

~L'Oreal Elseve Smoth Intense Anti-Frizz Serum Leave In I use it occasionally, if I'm having a bad hair day and frizzy.. but it works!

~L'oreal Elseve Damage Care Thermo Active Milk Reinforcer Leave In Use it (almost) everyday when my hair is half-dry, really good to soften your hair!

~L'oreal UV Perfect Fluid Protector Sunscreen SPF 50 -Anti Dullness-
I'm going on vacation soon, so this is a basic need! ^^

~L'oreal White Perfect Radiance Boosting Double Essence It's great to whiten your skin, it even make my acne scar lessen! I'm using it everyday.. ^^

~(the front) L'oreal Hydrafresh Moisturizer
I don't really use it anymore, but I still keep it in my room..It's like a water drop to my face! ^^

From all of those above, here are the 3 items that I purchased recently:
L'oreal UV Perfect Fluid Protector Sunscreen SPF 50 -Anti Dullness-
I've been searching for a great face sunscreen for my face, usually what we have here don't go over SPF 30, but this is SPF 50, so I think I've got to try this one out! ^^It has a purple tint in it, so it will make your face look brighter.. And it's a little oily at first, but it will blend in quickly, especially in a hot weather.. I'm not getting tanned or whatsoever, but I've only used it for once this week, yeah.. Maybe after the holiday is over.. Oh! Have I told you that I'm going on to vacation with my family?? ^^ Well, we're going on for a holiday to Palembang, South Sumatra, and if we're talking about holiday, usually it means a whole day exposed in the sun, right?? So, I need a sunscreen, simple as that.. More review of this after I get back!

L'Oreal Elseve Re-Nutrition Night Serum
I love this serum! I usually have no time to apply the leave in the morning, I'm all concentrating to my skincare and makeup, hehe.. But I still want my hair to look fab, so I use this when I get to sleep.. It make your hair really have volume! My hair is better after I use this serum regularly, less branching and drying.. ^^ Not to mention, it smells like honey and vanilla!

L'oreal White Perfect Radiance Boosting Double Essence
My face is whiter and brighter because of this! ^^ I'm thinking to buy the whole set, but I have to do some research first, hehe.. It even helps fading my blemishs..
I actually thinking about buying a scar serum for my face, something between Palmer's and Bioglo, but I think this one is doing a pretty good job,too.. It's not greasy, and so quick to absorb.. I apply this to my neck,too.. You girls better start to apply your moisturizer to your neck.. 20 years from now, and you're gonna thank me.. ^^ I think it has kinda "facelifting" effect to my neck, it's soft and soothing..
The most important fact, it doesn't make me have any breakout, thank God.. ^^

And now I'm gonna end this post with my NOTD! Been into soft colour lately, actually I wanted to do blue neon nail polish, but naaah.. It's fall season, and the weather's warmer.. hehe.. I think this kind of colour suits me best.. ^^
Maybe you see this colour a bit yellowish and beige.. But actually, in low light, it will turn to a light browny, cappuchino colour.. and if it's hit by light, it will get sparkling like really soft gold colour! ^^ My mom picked this colour.. I think mommy really know best, hehe..
The number is BR803, it's listed as one of the brown colour, eh?? But I think it's a great choise for a subtle yet still elegant nail polish..

For the next post I will show you the recent 2 beauty books I purchased. I'm still reading it, so I'll see you at the next post! ^^ Happy Weekend, everybody!

REVIEW: L'Oreal Roll-On True Match "Rose Vanilla"


I saw the advert in a magazine and I thought - "what the.." I was sceptical, but when Superdrug had a decent offer on, I decided I needed to try it! If you are apprehensive about the roll-on part - don't be! It is lovely and soft to use, and does literally glide over your face. I'm doing a lot of painting in the house just now with paint rollers, so maybe that's why I get on so well with this foundation! So lets break this thing down..


Application ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Once you start using it you will be able to apply it in less than a minute to your entire face. Just make sure you don't overload the roller, and roll over any tidelines to blend away. It also works for angles like around your nose and mouth, just tilt the roller to fit the angles!


Colours ♥ ♥

Even with a very "average" skin tone and colour, I found it hard to get the right shade. I chose "Rose Vanilla", a cool rosy ivory, I will not be able to use this if I get even slightly tanned.


Packaging ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Slimline case with the roller neatly inside. The back can double up as a mirror if you're short of mirrors!


Formula ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Smooth to apply, medium coverage. Looks satiny on and lasts all day, but can rub off on clothe/mobile phone so be careful!


Overall, I am very pleased! I will wear this for a couple of weeks and get back to you on how it works in the long term. So what do you think - Gimmick or glamour gadget?
