I was really sick when we went which would explain the lack of photos but it was good fun nevertheless. Not much compared to Disney California (the only other Disneyland I've been to) but for little kids and those like Mr Ng who've never been to any other of the Disneyland theme parks it really is quite enjoyable.
And of course no visit to an Asian country is complete without stocking up on some beauty product goodies. I've completely changed the products in my morning and night routines and am finally giving SKII a go.
Day products (top left) from L-R:
- Boots Vitamin E Gentle Eye Cream SPF15 - Boots is finally being stocked at select Mannings stores in HK yay! This is actually the first Boots product I've tried but I'm really loving the fact that it absorbs easily, has a really slight tint to help with dark circles and has SPF15. The HK prices are slightly more expensive than the UK ones but still really affordable
- La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo - I discovered this over at A Model Recommends and have been using it both day and night to keep my spots at bay. I actually use this as a targeted treatment rather than an all over one and have really noticed a decrease in the number (and size) of my blemishes
- SKII Cellumination Essence - as recommended on Beauty Snob. I'm not sure if I look more 'illuminated' (perhaps I need to use it in conjunction with the Cellumination Deep Surge to notice a major difference?) but I'm really liking how quickly this absorbs and how nicely it sits under my other products
- Le Metier De Beaute Peau Vierge - also discovered thanks to Beauty Snob. The priciest tinted moisturiser I've ever bought but also probably the best. This really evens out my skin tone
- La Roche Posay Uvidea XL BB Cream in Shade 02 Natural - I love all things La Roche Posay and with SPF50 this covers my sunscreen needs
Night products (bottom left) from L-R:
- SKII Signs Eye Cream - Purchased upon my sister's recommendation. She actually switched to a cheaper eye cream when she ran out of this and discovered she was starting to get crows feet so vowed never to stop using this ever again. This stuff is really rich which is great for my dry skin
- Effaclar Duo once again
- SKII Whitening Spots Specialist - my sun spots are really starting to bug me so the sales assistant suggested I give this a go. Not sure how much lighter my spots are but like the Cellumination Essence, this also sinks in to my skin really nicely
and finally,
- SKII Skin Signature Melting Rich Cream - a super rich cream which is pretty much solid in the jar and has to be warmed up between the fingertips. Upon application though it really does melt straight in to the skin
And not to my latest discovery and favourite beauty buy of the trip - My Beauty Diary's 2-Step America Soothing Pack of five facial masks. These were 50% off at Mannings when I was there and I actually prefer these over the SKII Facial Treatment Masks not only because they are much much cheaper (even at full price), but the actual mask is a lot thinner than the SKII ones and so don't slip and slide all over your face if you happen to be standing up/eating/watching TV (which I usually do while masking it up lol). Each mask in this particular 2-step pack also comes with a little sachet of soothing serum to smear on as you please afterwards.
In other news, I saw Mr Ng off at the airport last weekend and it was so much harder than I imagined it would be. I'm now trying to fill up my days with things to do but the nights sure are quiet..
Can't wait to see you in 3 weeks babe!
