Monday's Beauty Bits + Lancome Sample Voucher

Carrefour is currently selling Revlon's Colorstay foundation at only RM44! That's cheaper by RM11 from the normal retail price. I've finished my first bottle (4 months of daily use) and took this chance to stock up. It's still a staple for me.

Ooh how I LOVE MUFE Super Mat Loose Powder. I've had a problem with my ZA 2-Way foundation sinking into my pores within 4 hours. However, MUFE's powder appears to be the perfect primer. The foundation lasts, wears evenly and doesn't sink into pores. Touching up on the go is also not a problem. Whereas in the past it would sink in. So great to have my 2-Way back for good-skin days. =D

If you've been eyeing our ravings over ~H2O+ Face Oasis longingly, but can't stomach the hefty price tag, check out ParisB's review of the new Garnier Aqua Defense Essence. As soon as my Clinique DDMG runs out, I'm getting this. At RM19.90 it's a steal and would be a wonderful daily gel moisturiser. It even smells of fresh green apples! Oohh.... =D

I've sadly concluded that nothing in the Biotherm skincare line will ever suit me. They were sweet enough to send me a jar of their classic Aquasource hydrating gel-creme moisturiser for oily skin to try and a bottle of their latest Aquasource oil free clarifying hydrating gel. While both were lovely moisturisers, continuous use left small rash-like red pimples all over my face. More around open pores. I strongly suspect the strong "Biotherm" fragrance permeating the products. It's so strong you can smell it even when the jar is sealed and in its box!

And here's the Lancome sample voucher! I'm so sorry I didn't load this up before July 7 so you could participate in the competition. To be honest I forgot. But print it out, and take to the counters for a sample of their new UV-expert Neuroshield sunscreen.

Anon: I have no idea, there is no expiry date on the voucher. I think it's whil stocks last so just give it a go and don't be too disappointed if they're out. Just ask if they have any other samples they can give instead!
