Youth Preservation project

Hitting number 3 next year got me panicking now.

My skin has always been dry and dull-looking.

No matter how much sleep I get, I will still look as if I am very tired and have not slept for months.. the dark circles and eye bags don't help either.

I really look like a panda bear but then again, panda bears are cuter anytime .. I am just plain scary without the makeup on.

Its amazing how my husband and son don't get nightmares just by looking at my naked face.

This year, however, I started to notice that fine lines are starting to develop around my eye area, and the crow's feet, uurrgghh... I feel so old looking at me looking back at myself in the mirror. 

Even if I try covering up with make-up, and my make-up skills are like only 3/100, the most basic ever ... with no knowledge at all on how to apply concealer properly, eyeliner, eyebrow drawing, blusher... failing very badly using eyeshadows and blusher.. *sigh* and then suddenly the caking under the eyes showing everybody the lines which looks like the dry cracked desert ground ..

So, one day, I told Hubby that I need some shopping money to get me some preservation help to my skin.

Luckily Hubby had RM400 shopping voucher with him, and I took it away from him without hesitation and called up Z to go shopping with me.

Previously I had spent about RM300+ just on Biotherm range but they made my skin breakout like mad.. so I guess Biotherm is not on my list of preference now. :p

Originally I wanted to try out Dior Hydra Life skincare range but damn, they are really way too expensive and that day, the sales assistants were rather picky with their customers so too bad .. then I thought I wanted to give Clinique Repairware Laser Focus but it seems its still not sold yet.. and I heard many good things about Advanced Night Repair serum by Estee Lauder so ...

I ended up at Estee Lauder and got these.. 

Damage? 

Hmm ... RM490 which means I had to fork out another RM90 :(

RM200 for the eye cream and RM290 for the night mosturizer.

The rest -toner, serum and day mosturizer are free samples given by the sales assistant so that I can tryout the range and see if it works for me.. because if it works, you know its a definite return to Estee Lauder counter for me.

Today is my first day applying the range ... 

I am giving myself 3 months at least to see if I can see any positive difference in me, which I am going to start sharing with Jaden his supplements. One cannot just rely on skincare range alone.. I need vit-Cs and lots of antioxidants too.. :)

This also means, I have to apply the skincare diligently and not once every two three days, which I do have the tendency to slack off ...

So.. wish me luck in my very own 'youth preservation' project and lets see if it can perform miracles on me.
