Blanchir has worked so well on my facial skin without much problems. I wasn't very dark to begin with but now my face is noticably brighter and fairer, the dark undertone in my skin is disappearing. I've been using Biotherm's white detox lotion and creams on my neck (cause they make my face to go haywire), and a whitening lotion on my body. So hopefully in time, my entire body will even out and my neck and arms won't be a shade lighter than my face!
Unfortunately, it means that all my Legere BB cream (I have been using it exclusively as a base) and Mac NC25 powder are a shade too dark for me now. Last month at a sale, I just bought a new Mac NC25 powder foundation to replace the current one that's almost gone. Called the Mac counter. I haven't used it, so thankfully, they said just bring it down and they'll replace it with a lighter one.
Anyway, someone also just got the Lunasol Anniversary base set for me as a present, it is just so worth it. It's in the right colours, I made sure, lol. I can put my Legere aside for now, though I am sad, as it has served me well. I'll talk about it abit more about Lunasol bases after several days of use.
I stopped by Paul & Joe counter to take a look at their primers, and I like the original formula with less SPF. It costs $60SG plus, need to check if it's cheaper in Japan. Lunasol's primer seems much more glowy so I'm happy I got it, but I wouldn't mind getting the P&J stuff if it's cheaper in Japan. P&J's new summer Protective Foundation Primer UV doesn't have much colour so seems more like a sunscreen to me.

Gradation Nails & New Foundation/Primer/Powder Shades
I'm sorry if I'm slow in replying to questions/emails. I'm not able to get online so often as I'm less deskbound these few days and I have tonne of work all piled up. I have to get them cleared so that I can get some much needed rest in the next few weeks. Busy busy busy, but hopefully all will be well soon.
So over the weekend, I made this attempt at gradation nails, haha! Please do not laugh, it doesn't look obvious that it's 4 colours, but I'm so pleased with myself. LOL. It includes the glitter polish from Lunasol's 2008 Christmas Coffret. I need something for my dry cuticles. I moisturise my hands often but the cuticles aren't doing well at all despite that.

Nail Polish Talk and Mini Purchase
This was what I bought yesterday ... the Lunasol Anniversary set and a Lunasol Spring 09 Lip Gloss. Very very nice gloss ... I had to get it! Also felt it was worth getting the Anniversary set, not just based on price alone but also on the colours and items.
Oh, by the way, someone said she is glad to now know what I look like since I look like Narumi Yasuda, but I do not look like Narumi Yasuda. Only the MA thought I did. Honestly, when you see me, you'll know the MA was lying ... :p I did a face-to-face comparison with my pictures and hers, I think only the eyes shape is similar ... Haha.
Repainted my nails today, in the other Eternal colour I bought (G-ENS-1101). More purplish but still qiute nude. Nice and understated. I spoil the nail polish so fast, as though I do manual labour everyday! And my cuticles etc are so rough. Right after I painted the nails, I was using the scizzors for something and it dented the surface of one of my fingernails . Grr.
I don't paint my nails often. I used to paint my toe nails when I liked to wear open toe sandals. Thought I'd show you the nail polish I have, from The Face Shop, Beauty Credit, P&J and Eternal.
And the nail polish from Lunasol Christmas Coffret 08, which hasn't been used at all.
The only nice-smelling nail polish remover I use - from Beauty Credit. It is gentle, cheap and nice-smelling. The Face Shop Cuticle and Nail Balm isn't that great but it helps the dryness, if I remember to use it.
