My very first skincare journey~

Let me tell you about my first beauty journey on skincare.

Since my "skincare obsession" started with enough "cash" to spend on anything I want to buy, I wanted to buy the best skincare product/line that I can find in the market. After literally reflecting myself (in the mirror) I see that I have extremely dull skin, and after some googling I found out I have combination skin, that is, dry on the cheeks but oilyyy on the T zone. I don't have any acne problems except during my time of the month, and no dark spots either. Just some small scars or dull spots left from my "acne squeezing period" :(

I know you're hurting yourself if you squeeze your pimple, but honestly, I cannot, 

and I mean CANNOT stand a huge pimple looking yellowish reddish popping out of my face and say 

"Hi, I'm a huge pimple :)" 

to everyone who looks at me. =.= I have a problem with my image, I know. 

But how many of us can resist the feeling of not popping out your pimples??! 

I can't, so don't nag me! 

In the end, I ended up with these little spots right now 

which makes me want to tell you, 

stop squeezing them! 

It will not only hurt your delicate skin but will wreck your beautiful face as well. Seriously.

Okay enough with useless blabbering, after extensive research on my skin and what products I should use, I decided that I will try out samples first, and during that time, Laneige and several other companies like Clarins, Biotherm, were having offers of sample giving and I was extremely delighted!

  Of course, who doesn't like free stuff? 

So immediately I applied for the samples online,

 filled out don't-know-how-many forms and went to Queensbay Mall to redeem them. 

Hehe. I'm THAT stingy.

The first sample I got was an Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair sample, 

I'm sorry that I did not take any photos of it :(

But here's what it actually looks like in full size :P

Then I got this - 2 Tone Up Duo Kit by Laneige

And also, White Plus Total Luminescent by Clarins

And also some samples from Biotherm - Biosource, Aquasource and Homme T-Pur Intense 

That's it! I got quite a lot of samples, didn't I? Haha. I'm greedy and stingy. 

Hey, that's how people get rich okay?? >:P shhhh

I'm so in love with samples right now! 

They are cute, light, and small. 

Good for traveling too.

(when you don't want to have a 1 tonne luggage and bf nagging you about how heavy your luggage is!)

But having sample sized means that you only can try out the texture,

and maybe whether if it's suitable for your skin or not.

I was glad that I got samples first instead of getting the full sized products,

thanks to these generous companies - Laneige, Clarins, Biotherm!

I was able to test them out on my skin before buying them! Thumbs up for them!!

Really appreciate their help in saving my $$$.. HOHOHO! :P (remember, I'm just a poor student..)
