Ever since I parted with the Laneige strawberry peeling gel I've been using my Beauty Credit Amethyst Peeling Serum...
I mentioned this briefly in my previous skin regiment post. This was $11 for 100ml at the Beauty Credit store
The packaging is nice! comes in a pretty purple container with a push pump
Its very similar to the laneige peel, sandy in texture
Rub it against your skin and the gel drys and peels/exfoliates
Its fairly gentle and leaves my skin feeling smooth.
Overall I like this product. It works well for the price, packaging is great and has a nice lavender scent. I find it exfoliates better than the laneige strawberry peel. If you can find a beauty credit by you, give it a shot
I used up my LUSH tea tree toner and started using the Boscia balancing facial toner. Its $18 for 120ml at Sephora.
This toner is free of parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrances, synthetic dyes, petro-chemicals, and Phthalates. Nice and light lavender scent and feels very refreshing. I'm liking it so far, definitely better than the LUSH tea tree toner that I was using.
Lately I've been using the Laneige Water Sleeping Pack Plus & Laneige Star White Treatment Mask...
I had a few samples of the sleeping pack and thought it was pretty nice so went back and picked up the full size version. Its $23 for 80ml at the Laneige store. You use it after your regular skin routine then put this on right before going to bed, it stays on overnight to moisturize and hydrate your face. Wash it off in the morning and your skin is happy. Use about 2-3x a week
I'm still in the process of trying out the laneige sheet masks so the review will come later.
Guess what came in the mail?
My P&J membership card! it came with a cute P&J makeup bag and samples! woohoo. I'm not 100% certain on how the membership card works. You get stamps for P&J purchases at the counter in Bergdorf's and when you collect a certain amount you get a gift I think.
I'm so tempted to call in sick tomorrow lol :P
I'm so jealous of the stores you have in NYC!! Your P&J membership package is SO CUTE.
ReplyDeletei live for the weekends too!!!
ReplyDeletea paul and joe membership card?!? man, i wish i lived in new york! haahaha.
i think you should call in sick heheh.. i wish i did! it's such a gorgeous day and i'm trapped inside.
ReplyDeletei have a P&J membership card from hong kong as well...but i really have to spend a lot before i can get much..and even the freebies are samples. it'd be nice if yours gave you discounts.
do you find that spraying the toner on gets everywhere? i use the shu mist, and i can't seem to aim it properly!!! there must be a special technique haha
i wish the laneige sleeping pack worked better..it stings on my skin =/
you're so lucky to be in NY!!!! Hrmm that peel is interesting! And a lot cheaper than the other ones I've seen hrmm o_O But I don't think there is any Beauty credit stores around my area >_<
ReplyDeleteawww P&J looks soo nice! sigh I want!
I definitely live for the weekend too! That P&J membership card sounds like a cool deal! I have yet to try P&J.
ReplyDeleteI've always wondered about how to use the sleeping pack, like whether if you need to put your regular skin care on before you put on that. So thanks for solving my dilimma. I'm going to give it a try next time I go to Amore.
The P&J set looks really attractive. ^__^
ReplyDeleteSo great face products!

ReplyDeleteI like the P&J makeup bag....
ReplyDeleteLOL did you call in sick!?
ReplyDeleteI need to take better care of my skin. I'm so glad all of you ladies on blog are a good influence on me :D
i'll definately drop by the beauty credit storeto get that purple bottle. i need a exfoliant that does more than just the physical grains on it. i need some chemicals! *gasp* water sleeping pack sounds interesting. i'm gonna go see what that's about too. i've been having some dry skin lately.
ReplyDeleteCrap, I live in NYC and I don't see any of this! You probably stay around Queens right? Anyways, I am so tempted to try the laneige!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in NY I went to Bergdorf's for the P&J. I so love it there. The MA was so nice, & helpful. I just kept going around the counter & trying everything. I can't wait for the NY shopping guide, for my next trip.
ReplyDeleteBoscia eh? I've been curious to try that out because the sales clerk recommended it but I'm not sure if she was just trying to sell me something. But if you say it's good I'll give it a shot next time I drop by Sephora :)
ReplyDeleteThey said they were gonna get back to me on the membership card... hmph. Hahahaha. Nice goodies!
ReplyDeleteYay for the P&J membership card. Do you get discounts with it?
ReplyDeleteWow all these products sound great! I really wanna try that boscia toner. I always wanna try everything you use on your skin since it always looks flawless!
ReplyDeletei am still on the fence about the Laneige Water Sleeping Pack =/
ReplyDeleteis it good and do its job?, clog pores?
thanks love
CALL IN SICK!!!! hahahahahaa :)
ReplyDeleteoooh I totally want to try that Beauty Credit gel thing, it looks so cool! And lucky that you got a P&J card, haha even more reasons to go hauling there now...
ReplyDeleteHi there...I've been a silent reader for a few months so far and I just wanted to say THANKS for your post on Sakura Nails! I went there this weekend after seeing your gorgeous nails and I loved it! I can't wait to go back! I am a Calgel convert!
ReplyDeleteooo that toner looks nice!
ReplyDeletelol, lil Mona, I will do so if I'm too tired or stressed with everything,i used to do so when I was in my secondary school, my mama only asked me why i do so, but she allow me to stay at home rather than go to school =P
ReplyDeletecool, P&J is so cute <3 hmm, i think the beauty credit item works nice, but I haven't have chances to try it yet. I think similar products from Korea with such results are: etude house yogurt peeling, the skinfood chlorella. but the Amethyst word is attracting me! Have a nice day <3
hehe thanks Mona! My nail color was kinda inspired by your Calgel from a couple weeks ago, I loved those when you got it done! sooo pretty :) and I can never grow long finger nails, I think I need to get myself some calgel done to help my nails to grow haha.
ReplyDeletecute membership package!!
ReplyDeleteyay! PJ membership card :)
ReplyDeleteooo the Amethyst peeling serum is such a good pricee!
I love the sleeping picture of you... hehe~ It's so cute! :) Thanks for the review! I still need to try out Laneigh Strawberry Peel though... hehe~
