Hm, it's actually my birthday month, and Watsons has this 5 times bonus points for the first purchase of the month. I prepared my super long shopping list in my head. But darn it, when i got there, my mind was in a complete blank -_-

All i knew was that I was low on moisturizer (currently i'm using The Body Shop's Vitamin E Intense Moisturizer) and i wanted something with whitening/brightening.

Heard that ZA has a new and improved range of skincare and i grabbed the True White Cream (S$23.50) to try... Bought Veet Strawberry and Butter Wax and Cleansing Express Makeup Remover (My Holy Grail!) too. Just 3 items! I could have gotten more points seriously... I forgot to grab Loreal's White Perfect Body Lotion & Scrub (i would talk about it next time, it's FAB!)


Yups, i want to compare these 2 items: Etude House's O2 White Lotion (which i've gotten in sample form) and ZA's True White Cream (For normal/dry skin). Of course it's too soon to see the whitening results (if any).

But texture wise, i really prefer Etude House's! It's extremely light, and easily absorbed!
While Za's was a little thick and sticky. I think i would just apply a really thin layer during day time. Probably more suitable as a night cream?

I had True White on just now with light makeup, and headed out for 2 hours. When i got back. It felt so oily and uncomfortable, i just wanted to go and remove my makeup instantly! Gee... :s

As for the moisturizing factor, maybe O2 White has a higher alcohol content compared to True White that's why it's easily absorbed. It doesn't feel drying though, feels just nice. But of course, i guess True White feels more moisturizing. We'll see after a week or so :)



Other loots: A bunch of Etude House products! Everyone notices how dark my eye circles are... and so, i decided to purchase a few of EH's Collagen Eye Patch to try out... i seriously doubt it will work... but i got to try! Who knows :( Maybe i should have it on everyday?

The Green Tea Nose Patch from EH is also highly raved in Cozy Cot forums! It effectively removes those nasty white heads and it has a... funky strong green tea smell haha. Sold for $0.90 in retails, but it's cheaper online :p

If you scroll down, you'll see my review on EH's Ginkgo Lip Patch... I bought a few pieces just to give it another chance LOL.


HABA's staff are really friendly to offer me some samples even when i didn't purchase anything nor showed any interest in their products haha... it was actually my friend getting a few items from them. Shall try it out... soonest!

Funny how after i've got home. I remember my shopping list. GEE.
