Night regime

1. Fancl Mild Cleansing Oil
2. The Body Shop Seaweed deep cleansing facial wash
3. Kose Sekkisei Lotion
4. Phytomer oligopur balance emulsion

Remarks:
I went to the Estee Lauder counter at Isetan Scotts to ask for an exchange. However I wasn't very well served. I was waiting for some time and trying out their cosmetics. When I finally made the decision to exchange the Idealist for the lipstick, lip liner, lip gloss and eyebrow pencil, the SA took some time to find the products.

Luckily Joanne asked me to check, and found out that the SA took another lip pencil color "pink writer" to replace my "rose writer". I was quite upset and angry that it was done discreetly hoping that we didn't notice the switch. We then continued to look for a replacement color and spent another 5-10mins on that and chose "Spice writer" (I think that was the name).

AND AGAIN, no stock!? Gosh, they wasted our time to try so much and in the end has no stock for it. GREAT, so I was so angry that I kept on tearing papers while waiting for the SA to call and ask if it was possible to reserve the rest of the products and wait for replenish stock. Luckily it can be arranged and we were there for 45mins testing and waiting. What a waste of time...

Anyway we headed down to Body Shop to use up my Wisma coupons to buy blotting paper. Wanted to buy Aloe vera but the SA recommended me to resume my previous skin care and let my skin heal naturally. Ok, so I switch back to my regular Kose lotion and spraying Evian facial spray often to keep skin moisturized and less itchy.

2. The Body Shop Seaweed deep cleansing facial wash
3. Origins Plantidote™ Mega-Mushroom treatment lotion
4. Origins Plantidote™ Mega-Mushroom Face Serum
5. Phytomer oligopur balance emulsion

Remarks:
My colleague told me that my rough bumpy skin should be due to new skin product. If that's the case, no doubt that it would be Estee Lauder's Idealist which I bought during the Isetan private sale. The SA told me that it shouldn't cause break out but I could go back for an exchange if I have the receipt. I said I threw it away but I'd filled up their form. But strangely, my record is not in their database... Anyway, I haven't use the bottle yet (since I'm using the sample first) so she said that it is still possible to exchange (good news).

3. Origins Plantidote™ Mega-Mushroom Face Serum
   
4. Phytomer oligopur balance emulsion
5. Clarins UV Plus HP SPF40

Night regime

1. Fancl Mild Cleansing Oil
2. The Body Shop Seaweed deep cleansing facial wash
3. The Body Shop Tea Tree Mask
   
4. Origins Mega Mushroom lotion
5. Origins Plantidote™ Mega-Mushroom Face Serum
6. Phytomer oligopur balance emulsion

Remarks:
Found out that Joanne has 5 new pimples which appeared yesterday night. Considered MILD compared to my red-patchy-rough-tiny-pimples-skin. We wondered if it is because of the extremely heaty food we ate on Sunday + the monthly thing. I'm not sure if it is that or the pore refiner. Anyway I hope the Tea Tree mask, mushroom lotion and serum work and hopefully my skin will get better over the next few weeks. >_____________<

3. Origins Plantidote™ Mega-Mushroom Face Serum
   
4. Phytomer oligopur balance emulsion
5. Clarins UV Plus HP SPF40

Remarks:
I woke up this morning and found my Tzone area very rough. After washing, redness and tiny bumps appear on my cheeks and forehead. I didn't know what caused this. Was it due to my period or allergic reaction to Estee Lauder pore minimizer??? So I quickly grabbed my sister's Origins mega mushroom face serum to calm it down.

Night regime

1. Fancl Mild Cleansing Oil
2. The Body Shop Seaweed deep cleansing facial wash
3. Kose Sekkisei Lotion
4. Origins Plantidote™ Mega-Mushroom Face Serum

Remarks:
Redness, oiliness and small bumps continue to stay on my skin. I believe I have to go for a non-heaty diet now. Hopefully the mushroom serum will work wonders and make my skin better by tomorrow.

Remarks:
Just found my cellnique receipt in the drawer, too late for returns. Anyway, I'd been using a bit on the T-zone area and seems to be okay but doesn't control my oily condition.
NO MAJOR PIMPLES SO FAR! :P

Ettusais Zero Pore Mask has been left in the cabinet for some time, maybe I should give it a chance and try again.

Anyway I found lots of unused samples, so I decided to pick up Estee Lauder's pore minimizer to try out. I believe I'd put a bit too much on my skin because it is a bit oily now...

Night regime

1. Fancl Mild Cleansing Oil
2. The Body Shop Seaweed deep cleansing facial wash
3. Kose Sekkisei Lotion
4. Estee Lauder Idealist Pore Minimizing Skin Refinisher
5. The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil Blemish Night Lotion

Remarks:
It's weird that my skin seems to be sticky and oily with any moisturizer/night lotion now. It is either due to unhealthy oily diet or my skin needs something hydrating. Refinisher appears to be sticky as well after applying, will be monitoring the usage.
