Recently i review my steps and change a bit. Due to some readings, i stopped using SK-II unless i'm using it nia. I pat it by itself but i kinda dislike the smell. =( I doubt i will buy again after i finish this bottle. But maybe i will switch to SK-II after 30yo.

Have been thinking if i wanna use full Laneige Products. Thought it is not too expensive, it is also not as cheap as the drugstore products. I was wondering why not spent lesser if they are just as good?

I'm now busy with X'mas so i'm not reading any skincare stuff, so let me know if you have awesome recommendation.

I may.. ended up switching to Laneige for my 27yo - 29yo skincare, shall i?

Things that i should avoid buying

... for at least till end this year or even next year..

This morning while dressing for work, i was thinking "how many new/unopened eye-shadow palette do i have?"

I grasped. 2 Lavshua, 2 Integrate, 1 from sephora, 1 Urban Decay and 2 Anna Sui
It was in the 2nd drawer so i open the 1st drawer and see.. Clinque eye-shadow only used twice. Haiz...

There are alot more that i cannot buy...

I'm using SK-II eye-cream, finally it is finishing.. But i still have 2 more eye-cream in queue. Estee Lauder & Laneige. I bet they can last me till nx June coz i have been using the SK-II since before wedding and it last me abt 4-6mths. To think that it is a small bottle and laneige is big.. OK, i guess i have enough eye-cream till Dec2013.

Bags... I love bags... and i have quite some and i'm saving for the next Designer Bag (maybe Celine).. so maybe i should stop buying 1st.. (Urgh..i just saw the green one at new look that i really like)

Shoes... after coming back from honeymoon, i bought approximately 8 pairs of shoes. One down (meaning like in bad condition), and most not even wore once. Yes.. i better stop buy HEELS in specific.

Foundation/BB Cream.. I have SK-II, L'oreal x 2 type, Maybelline x 2.... Enough till Dec2013 too

Hair Treatment... 2 big tubs + 1 tube + 10 one time use tube + 10 hair end treatment.... Enough till end this year i believe

Cleanser... at least 3 new bottles =(

Body Bath. Yes, i have erm.. too many bottles to count

Body Butter/Body Lotion/Hand Cream... COUNTLESS TOO

Mascara.. 1 lavshua, 1 Maybelline, 1 L'oreal, 3-4 Majolica, 1 Estee Lauder unopened

Eyeliner.. more than 5 and less than 10 from Majolica

CRAZY.... stock i have..

How do u spent your bonus?

I reward myself when i get a bonus. After working hard for a year, it will be good say tell yourself thanks.

I started work in year 2008.

2008 bonus was pro-rated. I did not get anything for myself.
2009, Boss Fou was in france, I got him to buy me a LV card holder. I was really poor, but wanted something.
2010, I wanted a bag, but again was poor due to saving for house & wedding, i got myself a longchamp.
2011, I save up the bonus coz the following year i'm gg to europe. I bought myself a prada wallet & key-pouch
2012, I bought myself a miu miu bag with the bonus.

what's in for me in 2013? I'm looking at mont blanc now. =D

Genifique vs Youth Code.

I have this weird habit of looking at the Skin Care product by family. Example, Lancome & L'oreal Paris are all under L'oreal. So with the want to try out lancome Genifique, i went around searching for a replacement in the L'oreal family and yes, i found it under L'oreal Paris. =)

In case some of you dunno, Lancome Genifique which is suppose to re-activate the youth genes in your skin. I google online and found that the ingredients are generally similar.

The colors helps to match the similarities. =)

Genifique Ingredients:
Aqua/Water, Bifida Ferment Lysate, Glycerin, Alcohol Denat., Dimenthicone, Hydroxyethylpiperazine Ethane Sulfonic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate, Phenoxyethanol, Adenosine, PEG-20 Methyl  Glucose Sesquistearate, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Salicyloyl Phytosphingosine, Ammonium Polyacryldimethyltauramide/Ammonium Polyacryldimethyltaurate, Limonene, Xanthan Gum, Caprylylglycol, Disodium EDTA, Octyldodecanol, Citric Acid, Citronellol, Parfum, Sodium Benzoate.

Youth Code Ingredients:
Aqua/Water, Bifida Ferment Lysate, Glycerin, Alcohol Denat., Dimenthicone, Hydroxyethylpiperazine Ethane Sulfonic Acid, Peg-20 Methyl Glucose Sesquisterate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Salicyloyl Phytosphingosine, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Adenosine, Ammonium. Polyacryldimethyltauramide, Disodium EDTA, Caprylyl Glycol, Citric Acid, Xanthan Gum, N-Hydroxysuccinimide, Chrysin, Octyldodecanol, Sodium Benzoate, Phenoxyethanol, Limonene, and Parfum.

Considering Genifique cost 3 time of Youth Code, i choose to test out Youth Code instead. And it just prove to be so awesome! =)

Use Youth Code before your serum/essence and see the effect yourself =)

About Me

*Decided to write a post about me to post at my profile*

Yukifumi aka yukifumihime aka hime aka Datenshi aka lucifer aka 666. If you like, you can call me yukifumiluciferdatenshihime666, but i wun answer you. I still have other names but i dun think you are interested in those common plain names. If you do, follow my tweets. I thought i was born on 6 June AD6 but it seems like i have an identification card in the country that i'm at now and it says "Proud Leo born on 3rd". So well, i use that date to celebrate "birthday" with commoners and fellow hell-mates.

In my hidden life

I hide in one of the smaller country in earth with a found male-human and we recently conducted some humanly-ceremony to gave me human-right to build a clan to spread my thinking. In fact, the male-human's (i hid his identity with name of Cinderella). eating habits and living style, i secretly suspect that he comes from heaven. ENEMY!!!

More about my hidden life.

I started with my hidden life in August 1985, with Daddy & Mummy, Jie Jie & Kor Kor. Then more ppl join in and little babies join in too. The most recent addition is definitely Cinderella, which also makes me an addition to his family.

Studying vs Working.

I studied in CSPS which is totally closed down. Luckily ZHSS is still around, NYP & NUS will confirm stay for a longer period of time. My results in Primary & Secondary School is close to crap, but fortunately i kinda found my direction in Poly and i graduate with a Silver Medal. Surprisingly, when i graduate from University, they gave me a Gold Medal on the commencement day. Lucky or not?

Then i started work in a big but typical company. Overall is so-so, and i have been looking out for better prospects.

ゆきふみ姫の物語

Is a blog i started to spread my evil thoughts. I started trying to write one in LiveJournal but fail. After a few post i gave up and start searching for a new site and yes, i have been with Blogspot for over 7 years since 31 March 2005.

If you ask what i write, i have no particular direction.
My blog is not a food blog, but i write about awesome food that i eat.
My blog is not a beauty blog, but i write about some products that i like.
My blog is not a journal, but i pen down my thoughts and other random matter.

Over the years, the things i write may change from time-to-time but it tell you what is my main focus right now. I may be missing on & off but after some time i still come back to this miserable corner with small number of followers and people who read it regular(arigatou gozaimasu)

I do not post alot of photos here coz i'm a lazy fallen angel so i resort to facebook for photos uploading and then twitter for real-time updates. You can join me at either side and come back for a more wordy post here.

For Friends & Buddies & New friends

A day has 24 hours and it is never enough. My schedule is very packed and some days are reserved for Cinderella. I suppose it will be good if you wanna book my time earlier for any meetup especially when you are looking at Fridays. Saturday is kept for Cinderella & Family except for certain occassions, Sundays are good but after my lesson if any.
