viciouskitty74 SG The thais love their baby powder. It comes in 50g bottles and has spf15 too. I've got a few bottles because they work as loose powder w/o the colours and it felt light on the face, especially when I am on those "I dont want to wear make up days'. Shall I bring a few bottles for you ladies to try?
the Bear SG can't believe the level of sycophancy the boss stoops to... bloody take pictures of the senior management, she go and scrutinise those she angkat the most... each one, already touched up, make ME go tell the photographer to "touch up" even more.. things like lines and whatsoever which actually add to the character are to be taken out.. photoshopped away and whatnot... those whom are immune to her angkat, she doesn't bother.. so far, she's made me go tell the photographer to go photoshop our Dy Director's pic some more... remove line in eye.. remove this.. clean up stray hair... whatever it is.. the photographer has already done the job and the Dy Dir looks natural.. any more and people will know it's a photoshop.. and it'll be a BAD photoshop.. blood pressure increasing
viciouskitty74 SG Tell you what, pm me a addy. I will post over some of those johnson's Pure Essentials powder in 50g bottles for you to try. The pink powder works well on my shallow skin as opposed to their higher spf white powder. And they also comes in glitter version, for that extra sparker on your face, neck and exposed skin.
Rhonda SG I've been slapping on the sunblock for face and body and I avoid going out under the sun as much as I can. When I do, I even try to cover my arms and wear a hat and sunglasses but despite all that, I STILL get tanned!! So yeah... looking very Aussie now with all the freckles! On bad days, I look in the mirror, and rattle off a string of expletives! On a good day, I think, quite kawaii!
Rhonda SG Waaah!! You're so sweet! I think I'll go see if they have those in the supermart here first. Afterall, this is really SunCity!
viciouskitty74 SG I still kinda missed that johnson lotion with baby powder, they no longer produce it I guess. Its lotion and dries nicely into powder. Felt less icky when you are rushing off to work and the weathers crazy. I have the pink powder on my face now, after my shower and after applying L'oreal lotion. The lotion always felt sticky and greasy in asias warm weather and the powder on it help to cut the shine and the icky feel. And thais carries these in their bags and reapply as often as they can. Its about a good a practise like using sunblock. And sunblock always felt too icky on the skin when you are outdoors.
Rhonda SG Soooo happy!!! Yesterday, the Team Leader handed me an envelope with a $25 book voucher inside - a gift from a patient who wanted to say "Thank you!" Sooooo happy happy happy!!!
Rhonda SG That was in the newspapers and current affairs tv programs here a while back. I'm not at high risk because I have lazy days like the day before and possibly today, when I step out of the house and rush to work... without applying sunscreen first!!
viciouskitty74 SG Well, cosmetics powders usually cost much more. But over here, baby powders is the norm, so they have those small bottles for cheaper and its everywhere, like what shishedo does for Japan. The johnson pure essential pink powder 50g is 28 baht. About S$1/- plus. Buying them for you, is cheap. Posting over might be more expensive.
fudgester SG *me mysteriously appears in a puff of smoke* Just now I tried to take bus no. 30 instead of the MRT to school. I did that in the past to save money.... but eventually I switched to MRT. Two buses came in the next 20 minutes....both were so jam-packed that no one could board them. In the end, I gave up and took another bus to the nearest MRT. Wasted at least 30 minutes.
viciouskitty74 SG So how elindra? Shall I buy some more for you girls to try? They have a couple of brands, 'Babi Mild' being much cheaper and common. Maybe S$1/- for a 50g bottle. 'Johnsons' is more expensive.
viciouskitty74 SG The bus journey and the time spent is not worth it lah. Bus 30 is only packed till it reached Shenton Way & Hourbourfront. After that, its a painfully slow ride to Jurong?
fudgester SG No. 30 is only packed until Shenton Way.... after that, it's smooth sailing. However, both buses were so packed that no one could board. The thing is, No.30 is almost as fast as the MRT, considering that I need connecting buses on both ends. I have to take a bus from home to Paya Lebar MRT, and another bus from Clementi MRT to NUS. If I can board the bus, that is.
elindra SG The MRT is jammed packed everyday Even if I make myself late for work it's still jammed packed And I don't understand why those idiots like to crowd at the door I always squeeze myself to the middle where the ride is more comfortable coz everyone is packed at the door
viciouskitty74 SG different experiences I guess. I kinda gave up on buses except for short trips, like Shenton & Orchard on off peak hours.
