Skincare 1: Toner

I was introduced to this toner by a friend of my sister.  She is working in this MLM company and I decided to try out the skincare since it is a) affordable and b) I have never tried this brand before.

I actually bought almost the full set of skincare but have been slowly incorporating them one at a time into my regime (since I still have lotsa skincare left from all my shopping addiction).

A short mention of the company:  The company is the biggest grower of aloe vera in the world and all their skincare all contains a minimum of 30% stabilized aloe vera in them

I am not endorsing the company that is selling this brand (even though I had joined as a member to get the skincare at distributor price) so I will not be posting their price and where to get them from, in public.

So the first to be used is the toner since I ran out of my old one.

My first impression of the toner is that well, it is pretty liquid, not like those viscious ones that feels sticky on the face.  Nothing much to ra ra about since the packaging is not that spectacular looking.  But I do like the light natural fragrance of the aloe vera coupled with a wee bit of floral notes incorporated in the formula.

I noticed that after the first bottle, my skin looks more calm (I am prone to having redness on my skin since I use AHA and Vit A on my skin) and my face color is more even.

I am onto my second bottle of this toner.  Now I am a brand whore and I am into new and upcoming stuff all the time.  To say that I am using a repeat of something goes to show that besides doing its job it is also very affordable! – something very important in this economy.

So will I repurchase a 3rd bottle?  Like what Mr Big says:  Abso-fucking-lutely!

What I am using now

OK I need an assignment to fill up my time since I am on a shopping ban till end of Dec 2009.

So I decided to write some reviews and afterthoughts of using my current stash of skincare and (crosses my fingers) some makeup that I am using.

I will be doing this intermittently since I am not the regular blogger.  So pls have some patience with me, if you are reading this:)

So, cheeries o.

Hmmm, shall I try and ask my manicurist for a Red Bull Racing Logo next time round??;P

Afterfeel of watching the musical “CATS”

Went with a couple of friends to the musical today.  We got the tickets a while ago via piority booking.

Lazy me didn’t bother to do my homework before going into the show.  So for the 1st half of the musical, I totally didn’t know what was going on.

Why the cats are gathered together, who is who, why are all of them singing an individual song per cat.

It is only during intermission when I read my friend’s programme that I managed to snatch a bit of the plot.

Well, all I can say is if you are going to watch something, you had better be diligent and read up on your show.  Cos even after reading the plot, I still can’t hear/understand what they actors/actresses were singing. 

My friend says that is to be expected cos they are only singing out the vowels and not enunciating the words. 

I much prefer the old Kallang Theatre where they have a electronic billboard on top of the stage whereby you can see subtitles (both English and Chinese being flashed throughout the show)  I wonder why the state-of-the-art Esplanade doesn’t have this facility.

The show does try to invoke alot of audience participation, the Cats will come down the stage and make/poke fun at the audiences, steal a bag or two away etc. 

Up close, you can see how skin tight their leotards really are (heehee)

Since I am not a connoisseur, for this musical, I can only appreciate the choreography of the dances, the pirouettes done, the acrobatics of the dances;)  Not even the song “Memory” can make me change my mind.

I would watch Miss Saigon, Le Miserables and Phantom again but prolly not Cats.  Sorry.

P.Ss My friend mentioned that alot of the audiences came out of the hall commenting that they’d much preferred Phantom of the Opera over Cats.
