Face Cream Review from Creamery

Sorry for the delay! I had a breakout during the time I was using this product so I had to make sure what was causing it! I switch to a new cleanser during this time too. So it was the cleanser that was causing the break out. Had to throw it out. :(

So here is the review:
Number of time used: 3 weeks twice a day (Morning and Night)
Pro:
- Less oil on t-zone
- Skin looks brighter and smoother
- Cream feels light and have enough time to massage on to skin
- Skin is more hydrated 

Con:
- Jar is not twist off so it was hard to open at 1st
- Season is charging I feel i need to use more than before
- When I don't use enough cream it really hard to massage on to skin
- Since I have to use more than I need to at times in 3 weeks I only have 60% left in the jar

Overall:
- I will buy again
- Since this the super light cream great for summer and more humid area
- I think I'm ready for the next one up (They have 4 level of moisture) for winter in Calgary! *SUPER DRY*

Food of the Skin: Creamery

Do you have trouble skin?
Nothing you use seem to improve your skin conditions?
Do you always buy expensive skin care product hoping it would work?
Do you want a skin care product just made for your skin with a smell that you like? 
Do you want a product that have no chemical in it, made with all natural ingredient?

I might have a place for you to check out!
Location: Creamery (Inside Eau Claire next to the wine store)
A guy friend told me about this so I went to check it out! And yes I did buy something!
This is not a cafe or a kitchen to a restaurant. This is the store front of Creamery! A place that make your skin care from scratch and custom to you needs and smell! 
These are massage oil.
Scent Bar but in the process of re-work.
Chef V at work! Making my body scrub!
Like I said they make their product from scratch! That is my body scrub in a bowl! 
The finish product! I got a body scrub (21oz $39.00CAD) and a face moisturizer with blueberry sangria booster help making skin smooth; this have SPF in it too(2oz $52.00CAD)!


This is my new hang out place! The whole shopping experience and hanging out with Chef V was great! She share her knowledge with me about skin care! There is no "secret" here because she makes everything in front of you and explain what is in the product! She will get to know your skin and let you test out her cream before she get to work! The item I brought have an 1 year shelve life. I will do a product review a week later!

Crazy Deal @ Shopper Drug Mart ...if you like Smashbox!

Every now and then i have the point craze! Shoppers optimum, airmiles, areoplan, visa travel! Right now I'am on the shoppers optimum craze! This is good for a makeup artist who use smashbox in their kit or any one that use Smashbox! Shopper is have 20x the event if you spend over $75 in there beauty department (Good until tomorrow) and Smashbox is giving extra 20 000 points (i think this is good until end of month) if you spend $150 with them.

So here is the math part: 
If i spend $150 buying on Smashbox items i get 1500x20= 30 000 + 20 000= 50 000 (this means you get $85 to spend on you next buy! If you spend that free $85 back on smashbox that is like having a .... $150+$85= $235. $85/$235= 0.3617 x 100= 36.17% off you Smashbox products!

And you are as crazy as me and an accountant (always trying to max out the deal) this is what i would do: 
2 $150 bills in smashbox so that mean 100 000 points already, wait until they have the SUPER claim you points event where 95 000points would get tou $200 instead of the $170 buy more smashbox with it! 
So buy spending $300 i get $200 back ...... 40% off all my smashbox products!! Which is better then my pro discount with them!

Another crazy thought if they still have the $150 get 20 000 extra points when i claim my 95 000 points........ i think.....100 000-95000 =5000+20 000= 25 000 points which means.... another $30 from shopper durg mart with out spending any more money! 

Sorry for all the math! If you get it great! If not .... bottom line is if you use Smashbox you have until tomorrow to spend $150 to get 50 000points! Have fun!

Sister bonding time @ AJISAI

Sunday night dinner with my little sister!!! Parents ditch us so it was up to us to find food! We're lazy so we just went to Ajisai in Panorama Hills and I was craving seafood tempura! Between the 2 of us we finish everything.... yes we do eat alot! As you can see in the pictures there was ALOT of scallop! I love scallop! We do believe that we order too much food for the 2 of us....our tummy grew outward.....
Food Rating: 8.5 (Rice could be a little bit better and miso soup have no tofu....)

My 21 hours Saturday~

So trying a new thing! Going to blog about my make up jobs!
It was a very early day for me! Got up 4:30AM so I can get to Cranston by 5:45AM! I was finish around 10am~ Below is my finish work! Very one look great and was happy!! Once again congrats to Annie!!
After that I rush home so I can get ready for my noon client at my house. As I was doing Helen's makeup I notice there is something about her facial structure that keeps reminding me of Fala Chan! Then Jason took me to his cousin's 18th b-day! But we're too early so no one was there yet!

For dinner we attend Erica's b-day party! I really think Fondue is just a western style hot pot! I enjoy chinese hot pot much more but the fondue sauce taste better! Then my last stop of the night....my high school friend's house...didn't leave until 12....something and I had to drive Jason home cuz he drank and won't drive!! So didn't get in to bed after 1AM................That is the end of my lovely Saturday!

Vogue Caught Me

Yes is Vogue but not the high fashion Vogue you're thinking of *I wish*! I was on my way home after work when i got shot! At 1st I thought it was a homeless person trying to stop me for change becasue most of the time after work I zone out and don't really notice things around me much. So I try to walk faster...... then someone said "excuse me ms" .... then i look up and I saw my prince charming on a white horse...... no.........it was a nice looking genltman with his camera equipement! Then his told me that he is taking pictures of well dress people around town for a real estate company to be post on line call liveinvogue.com *If you like check them out*
So this is what I looked after work yesterday.....I like a MESS! lol He might think I'am stylish compare to people around me during that time of day *Thank you to the nice looking gentleman for boosting my self loving ego somemore* but ....... really i have better days with my style! Lesson learned: I should dress good everyday (don't be lazy and only dress up to go to fashion events) becasue you'll never know when you get your picture taken!! Starting Sunday night I will pick out my Monday to Friday outfits so I can't say things like "oh I was in rush so i just wore whatever was on the floor that wasn't fold up!" ..... We'll review this again next week and see how it went.......
