Day 19 on REVALÉSKIN:

Oh dear. Am taking a break from this fab skin care line because am on this “monthly breakout spree” (you know the drill, right?). Am going back to my usual skin care designed to deal with “really bad skin days” (watch out for this skin care regimen’s breakdown soon). *le sigh*

—–

I asked Mother Goose to go type in her review on this skin care line but she said she’s too busy (right, busy watching TV and going to the mall) and she doesn’t have time. *le sigh* But anyhoo, here are her inputs:

Cleanser = She loves this one. While I gave it a C, she said this is “the best cleanser in the world” (so I assume it’s an A for her). She told me to mention that her skin feels really supple and there’s no shine nor filmy moisture after. It’s as if the moisture’s sunk into her skin before rinsing.

Day Cream = “It’s a great make-up base!” *insert wide eyes and hand gesture here, similar to what I tend to do when I exaggerate things * Her (Monave) MMU stays the whole day (note that I got my oily T-zone from her) with no retouching even when she goes in and out of the mall (she’s always in TriNoma even if we’re from the south because she finds the said mall to be very “shopaholic friendly”).

To get even, here’s her (beautif’l) photo just so you know who’s reviewing with me

Fathers Day 2007. Our goal’s to make her look like this the rest of her life.
