Well, even though it was only one product, but it’s a great start. I’m really glad both buyer and seller hit it off well 🙂

As with all cash-on-deliveries, always practise caution when meeting up with your buyer/seller. I should think that all my readers are careful people, but one can never be too careful, right?

Here’s to more. Ladies, do you have any beauty products which you’d like to unload? Do drop me a note if you do, and I’ll set it up for you. One (wo)man’s junk is another (wo)man’s treasure!

Cheers!

The Olay Regenerist Eye Lifting Serum would be one of them.

I bought this on a whim when I was shopping at a Giant store a few months ago. It all started when I first noticed tiny crow’s feet (*gasp!!!*) at the corners of my eyes, and the ever-increasing fine lines on my lower lids. I saw this when I went grocery-shopping, and thought, what the heck, I’ll give it a go.

Description:

Notice a turnaround in 24 days: firmed eyelids, smoothed corners and even-toned under-eyes. Olay Regenerist Eye Lifting Serum visibly lifts the look and brightens the area around the eye without drastic measures. With an exclusive Amino Peptide Complex, it hydrates to firm skin and to allow the natural regeneration of skin. Olay Regenerist Eye Lifting Serum has a light, greaseless feel that leaves skin feeling velvety smooth. 

Okay, I’ve been using this for over a month now, and I did not notice any difference. My eyelids did not seem any firmer, nor were my eyebags improved. My eyelids did feel velvety smooth after application, that I would say. But other than that, I did not find anything else good about this.

The tired eyes could be due to the whole lot of stress I’ve been having for the past couple of weeks, so maybe that contributed a lot more lines and dehydration. It certainly contributed more dark circles under the eyes. Maybe the serum just wasn’t strong enough to combat that. But that again, I could just be trying to find an excuse to why this serum’s not working :p

I did find something which improved my fine lines around the eyes though, and that is concentrated Vitamin E. But I’ll leave a review on that for another day.

The Olay Regenerist Eye Lifting Serum retails at RM37.88 at Guardian, and around RM45 at Giant (tsk tsk at the price difference).

What I like about it: The eyelids felt smooth after application, but I reckon all skin would feel that way after applying lotion on it, don’t you think?

What I did not like about it: It just didn’t work for me.

There are so many types of foundation out there, aren’t they? Stick, powder, two-way cake and liquid. And each type branches out to many other types! For tips and tricks on choosing the right foundation for you, check out my blogger pal Paris’ blog (good one there, girl).

As for me, I’ve used the stick foundation, two-way cake and liquid foundation, and I have to say, my favourite is still the liquid foundation. Granted it’s not as hassle-free as using a two-way cake, what with me needing to use my fingers and sponge to blend it onto my skin and all, but it’s still my #1 choice. It gives my skin better coverage, and keep it tone-balanced. Dust it with a light layer of loose powder, and I’m ready to go.

For traveling purposes, I use the two-way cake. It’s less of a hassle, plus I don’t have to bring extra loose powder with me, y’see 😉

So ladies, what’s your choice?
