• Some people might like eye gel, but my eyes are so dry that eye gels never work me. I’ve tried many eye gels to reduce puffiness, but my eyes were still always dry. However Lancome Génifique Eye concentrate did a good job and saved me money! I don’t need to apply eye serum before eye cream. This cream is very concentrated – serum and cream at the same time. I’m so glad that my friend introduced this eye cream to me. The price is $59,  which is about the price of comparable brands’ products.

Step 1. Hand cubbing. Take off your glasses or contact lenses. Rub your plams together to generate warmth and continue rubbing until they feel fairly warm. Then place your palms of your hands over your closed eyes for a minute. While absobing the heat, breath deeply and feel your stomach fill with air deeply.
Step 2. Side to Side. Next put both hands by your sides, open your eyes and move your eye balls to the extreme left. Then move to the right as far as you can. Repeat 4 times. Then, repeat step 1 with a deep breath and take your hands off. Rub hands together until you feel warm and put hands on eye lids again. Relax and deep breath.
Step 3. Diagonal. Move eyeballs from top right to bottom left like you’re crossing your eyes. Repeat 4 times. Then rest by closing your eyes.
Step 4. Clockwise. Move your eyes in a full circle clockwise, then repeat the same action counterclockwise. Repeat 4 times.
Step 5. Up and Down. Move your eyes upward as far as you can. Then move them downwards as far as you can. Repeat this four more times. Close your eyes and rest.
Step 6. Contraction. Close your eyes as tightly as you possibly can, then squeeze the eyes until your eye muscles are fully contracted. Hold this contraction tight for few seconds, then let it go quickly.

This is the perfect way to exercise your eyes and keep them healthy and strain reduction.

I have been using it this summer everyday. I have combination/oily skin. My cheek area is dry and my forehead is normal, not oily at all during spring and winter. Just during summer, my forehead and nose get extra oily and shiny during the day. Maybe because I apply plenty of sunscreen during this time of the year because I’m so afraid of the strong sun here.

These blotting papers became my essential beauty kit. I like this matchbook type design because it’s light, thin and practical for my small purse. After using I just tuck the the top of pink cover into the bottom black flap to close.

After researching and reading reviews , I decided to try 100% Pure Coffee Bean Eye Cream. First of all, it really has good reviews and the price is right. $19 for eye treatment is really hard to find. Plus I love organic products and like all the ingredients used in this natural eye cream such as green tea, rosehip oil, coffee, vitamin E, vitamin C, pure vanilla and rosemary.

I believe that caffeine-rich green tea and coffee will depuff  and reduce swelling under my eyes. Hope it will help reduce my serious dark circles and brighten them up. I’ll be sure to post a review after using it for few weeks.

She went to spa treatment in Thailand and she loved these herbal massage balls. Of course she  thought these massage balls might relieve my pain, although I never used Eastern Herbal treatment before. I just thought what the heck.

I learned that inside this massage ball is natural herbs and ingredients from Thailand: plai, lemongrass, galangal,  kaffir lime, tamarind leaves, som poi leaves, plub plung leaves, naad pao lung leaves, pao noi, ya kam hoi, and camphor. It helps to relieve pain muscle aches.

I sprinkled water on the massage ball and warmed in microwave for 1-2 minutes. Then I pressed it on my sore muscles. It felt good and I slept very well. I just found out that heating the ball in the steamer is THE BEST way. It seems to stay hot much longer than when I microwave it so I don’t need to keep reheat it as often. After finishing using it, I keep it in a dry place. Do not keep in the humid place like refridge like my first one – it did not last long.

It’s hard to find these thai herbal massage balls in the U.S. ,but I found the place to buy online. You can check it out at http://cosmetics.pro

I have been trying many brands of eye drops but my eyes always dry out, maybe because of my allergies. It’s hard to find the right eye drop to relieve dry eye problems.And then my eye doctor gave me a sample of Systane Lubricant eye drop, and I’ve been hooked on it ever since. I don’t need to use much of this because once a day seems to be plenty. It keeps my eyes moist all day long. And when I put on eyeshadow, mascara and it won’t irritate my eyes.

To be honest, the price is still expensive even though I bought a big 2-pack from Costco. Recently my husband got another brand “Refresh Plus Eye Drop” from Costco because of the price hoping it would be the same as Systane, but it’s not. I have to keep applying it throughout the day. I’m using a computer all day, so my eyes dry out and I need to keep putting in my eye drops.

Now I realize that Systane is the only eye drop that can keep my eyes moist. I’m going to go back to using Systane when this bottle runs out.

These are gentle enough to remove make up and eyeshadow and mascara from my sensitive eyes. They’re soothing and refreshing. I love all the ingredients : Chamomile, Triple Tea Complex and Vitamin E – all good stuff for your facial skin. What I like the most about them is that I don’t need to reapply moisturizer anymore – so I save on skincare products. I also love that they come in small packs – so convenient when travelling.

I got Mistine Duo eyeshadow and eye liner pen during the trip. It’s really affordable, practical and perfect for my small purse. I can touch up eyeshadow any time I want. I even use it to highlight eyebrow color.  It comesin many colors and I got them all ; gold brown, greenish blue, purple, grey silver.  You can choose to use any color you want for daytime and night time. It’s so convenient – I always keep in my purse. In the morning rush,  I sometimes put my makeup on when in the car or when I stop at the red stop right. I can’t go out without it.
