Review: L'Occitane - Almond Milk Concentrate

Just a quick review on this body cream :)
I got this body cream from the BF's sis ms.S quite some time ago..
She raves about this cream and have to give me one to try it out! so sweet of her! :p
and I really LOVE this!! if not for the price tag! It would be on my HG list for sure!! :/





Description from L'Occitane website:
Almond Milk Concentrate
L'Occitane blends both tradition (the use of almond proteins to firm the epidermis) and science (soft silicium to help support collagen synthesis) into a silky, concentrated milk that nourishes and smoothes the skin. Helps to firm and tone. Suitable for the whole body. Made with almond ingredients of Haute Provence origin, helping to revive the cultivation of the almond tree in the landscape of Provence.

Tips from the website:
Gently massage morning and/or night over the body, insisting on the zones affected by the relaxation (thighs, belly, bust…) by means of circular movements, always from above to down. Use Almond Shower Oil to cleanse, Moisturize with Almond Milk Concentrate and then treat immediately with Almond Delightful Shape to tone and redefine.



Just my 2 cents:
PROS:
-VERY moisturizing!!
-Lovely smell (well.. some people can't stand the smell thou!:p)
-Absorbs quickly leaving your skin smooth and soft! (loving the feel of my skin upon application!!)
-The texture isn't too heavy. (I don't feel oily after application)


CONS:
-Pricey!! (in Singapore!) selling at about SGD88 for 200ml!! (that's about USD65!!)
*it is selling at USD39 in the US*

Yup! the only CONS that stop me from pampering my skin with this awesome cream!

TGIF! have a nice weekend!!

Nails

As much as I love painting nails..
I couldn't find some appropriate time to play around with nail arts ever since last year August (I got enrolled into university! and lead a pretty busy first year there!)
Ok. maybe I did like less than 5 times! :(( *sigh*

So as I'm finally able to enjoy the long school vacation (for almost 4 mths!! ok! i'm left with 1 more month now.. T_T) I bought some new colors to play with! haha :D
so just to share a few photos I found in the BF's PC! :p

My skill got rusty during this break from painting nails! :( hence, this not-so-pretty work!! :(( anyway this is without flash! i love glittery nails but it's such a pain to remove and my nails got so brittle afterwards!! -_- *ignore my super dry cuticles!*

With flash and the nail polishes used for this nail! :) I got the jill stuart polish from Hongkong (in Dec 2009) LOVE the packaging!!! but it's too sheer!! :(( but it smells better than canmake or O.P.I polish! :p

Nothing to do with Beauty world.

Exam is coming REAL soon!! and being the usual me!
yes.. i'm rushing like mad trying to digest all the knowledge being taught for this whole semester into my teeny weeny brain within 2 weeks!!
I know this SUCKS! :((
no idea when i'll learn to be consistent and learn my lesson!! it has been repeating for the whole of my study life! BLEH!
sick of this last minute routine before exams.

And to make things worse!
i think depression just came to me again!! i knew it! it's so dejavu! :(
hate that feeling!
all the negative thinking!! and all the skin problems really making me feel so LOW.
and
friendship too.
I think i really share too much!
I should learn who to share and who I shouldn't.
GAH! maybe i'm just TOO talkative! just wish that i can be a dumb and can stop talking! People only regard me as casual friend *DUH* and I told *** literally every bit of my life. :(
STOP TALKING YOU DUMB!!! :((

FML!!
