While I'm still very mad for not getting the Bare Essentials Foiled Eye kit from Sephora's V.I.B Bonus event, there's another promotion came in last week. It's the free Tokidoki necklace with $75 purchase. Of course it's not as sweet as the BE one but my husband still rushed over. By the time he got there, there were only 2 left knowing how crazy Californians are.

Color of the Week - Chanel Runway Inspired
It's another gloomy day today, it even rained again during noon time. How come every Monday is like this? Don't get me wrong though. I love rain just not heavy rain, a little bit. Don't you think it's romantic when it rains?
Anyway, today it's all about gold and black.
The 3 shades are Black Velvet, Gold Lame and Illusion D'or. I haven't got them yet and I'm not even sure if I will be getting them. But I'm definitely intrigued by the runway nail look. And I'm doing it in my version.
For the tip, I use Black Satin. It's not completely matte like the Black Velvet. As name suggested, it's got the glossy satin finish.

Day Time Skincare Routine
After reading Lulu's Skincare Routine, I decide to share mine. First of all I want to talk about my day time routine.
Before I start, I will list some of my skin stats - Combination to oily skin with dry surface; large pores on cheeks and nose area; sun spots and uneven skin tone; dark circle under eyes; occasional breakouts; no visible lines and wrinkles just yet.
Now moving on to the day time routine. I keep it simple so no deep cleansing, exfoliating, masking and all those crazy stuff. But that doesn't mean cutting corners either.
1. Cleanse:
Most of the time I use Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser if my face doesn't feel over greasy in the morning. I learned in a beauty book to only use mild cleanser in the morning because over cleansing could strip away surface moisture thus causing complexion dull and flaky. So using mild cleanser can minimize the damage to our skin. When I do want to have fun with my foams, I go for Jill Stuart cream wash or White Lucent Brightening Cleansing Foam w. And I always use a foaming net. It only takes a minute or two, but the result is smoother and richer foam. It rinses off easier too.

MAQUillAGE Shiny Jelly Rouge
MAQUillAGE Shiny Jelly Rouge was first released during last year's Christmas time. It took Shiseido 10 years of research to make this jelly like lip gloss. There're 6 shades in total and they're all regular items.

Color of the Week - Givenchy Vernis Please! Purple by Night
It's been windy for the past weekend and it even rained a bit at noon time today. This is not my type of weather. To cheer myself up, I want something rich and intense. So I pick Givenchy Purple by Night.

Opal Sonic Infusion System
We saw the Opal Sonic Infusion System at Sephora the other day. Knowing it's the same company that makes our Clarisonic face brush, even though it's very expensive ($245), we still decided to bring it home and give it a try.
