Well, Clarins is cheap after 20% Isetan private sale discount. So it is a good buy. I really like the sunscreen and eye lift. The rest were bought because they were okay and affordable. I use up a bottle of sun screen every 3 months and compact powder every 6 months. Eye lift usually lasts me 6 months if I only apply in the morning. Corrector is also 3 months.

Pimples gone down

Reduced the amount of Diorsnow gel and used Miracle water on cotton pad to tap on the pimples. Seem to get better. And oh, bought the SK2 Radiance set today during Takashimaya 10% off sale :)

Pimples breakout!!!

They appeared during middle of the week at the T-zone area where I applied my Diorsnow pore refining gel. Not sure if it means incompatibility with this product? Applied some Tea Tree Oil and hope it is not because of the gel but my diet, insufficient sleep and ...

1. The Body Shop Seaweed deep cleansing facial wash $18.90
   
2. Kose Sekkisei Supreme Refining Lotion, 230ml $95
3. SK2 Facial Treatment Essence
4. Clarins HP Total Whitening Essence, 30ml $125

Remarks:
Diorsnow gel doesn't seem to be so moisturizing after application. Gotta use 2 pumps which is a lot of $. Considered to use it as serum instead.

Night regime

1. The Body Shop Seaweed deep cleansing facial wash
2. Kose Sekkisei Clear Lotion
   
3. Kose Sekkisei Supreme Refining Lotion, 230ml $95
4. SK2 Facial Treatment Essence
5. Clarins HP Total Whitening Essence, 30ml $125
6. Diorsnow Whitening Pore-Refining Gel 50ml $94
7. The Body Shop Seaweed clarifying night treatment, 30ml $32.9

Remarks:
Applied half-pump of Diorsnow gel onto the nose and cheek area with large pores. Initially didn't reduce, but after some time, it seems to be effective. Since the gel is not moisturizing enough, I layered with Body Shop Seaweed night treatment. This method seems more effective than thinning the gel over the entire face. Looks like my expensive 50ml can be used for a long time :)
