Unfortunately, I have been busy for the past couple of weeks that I forgot to take pictures. As seen from my week 3 picture, the monthly cycle has been wrecking havoc on my skin again (always have been).

There have been a couple of days where I was too tired/busy to do the treatment, and my skin gets a couple more sore spots the next day. But when I go back on the treatment that very night, the sore spots subside.

I’m still undecided on whether it helps my hormonal acne or not since the light treatment doesn’t seem to have much effect on helping me control the spots. It does help when the spots emerge though.

I’ve also been to a chinese physician lately for my gastritis problem and she says that the digestive system does have an effect on skin. So I’m currently taking some medicine for my gastric and hopefully it does have a positive side effect on my skin as well.

What are your beauty weaknesses? For me, I can’t stop looking at pimple gels and moisturizers (because my skin gets so flaky due to the prescribed gels for my acne). I also like to switch brands whenever I have a product that’s finishing soon… not so good for my sensitive skin!

What are your thoughts on companies that put up “free samples” on their site, but when details are submitted, samples are never sent to you? How long will you wait before saying that they’re duds?

Personally, I really dislike such act. I think, at the very least, the company should email or contact those who have submitted their details in hope for samples to inform them if the samples have run out and unfortunately, those consumers will not be receiving samples. It is worse if you did not receive the said samples, but yet keep receiving their email blasts instead. Woah… real low way of collecting consumer data there!

I’m sure many of us are huge on buying magazines, be it gossip, fashion or beauty. But what do you do when the new issue comes out? Do you discard the old issue or keep them?

I bought tons of magazines in my younger days, especially those pop music magazines (I was crazy over those boybands and aimed to collect all their posters! LOL) and it got to a point whereby I simply had no more space for the magazines. I ended up tearing out just the posters and threw away the remaining parts of the magazine. But in the end, those posters were just kept in my cupboard, only to be thrown away a few years later.

I’m now pretty much into just one magazine – Women’s Weekly, because of its affordability! But even then, I’m still looking for ways to recycle them. I think throwing them away is quite a waste especially if they are still in good condition. How about a magazine exchange? Anyone thinks that will work out?

Review: Whatever it is, even if you’re desperate to exfoliate your skin, DO NOT GET THIS PRODUCT!

Follow Me O2 Renewal Gel has got to be the worst skincare product I’ve ever purchased in 2009. It is supposed to be a gentle chemical exfoliant, something like Cure Miracle Gel and Ginvera Marvel Gel. However, it oddly felt like glue on my face and even SMELT like it.

Your face and hands must be completely dry, otherwise it is very hard to get the chemicals working to rub the dead skin cells off your skin. As my skin is pretty sensitive, I felt an immediate stinging sensation 10 seconds after I applied the gel to my face. My skin was slowly turning red and my nose hurt from the pungent alcohol/glue smell. I used it for 3 times before I gave up and used something else.

Finally, I found the best way to use up this useless product as it was taking up space on my vanity counter – to give my legs a good ’scrub down’. On my legs where skin is not sensitive, the product worked and made my legs super shiny and smooth. However, I wouldn’t buy it again. It certainly isn’t cheap enough for me to use it on my legs!

Rating: 1/5

Would I buy again: Definitely NO
