Eyeing them~~

My current eBay watch list

I'm watching:

  1. A lovely tartan skirt
  2. A DSLR (although it's an old style but I don't mind)
  3. Ankle boots
  4. Anti-cellulite oil (LOL!)
  5. A long white skirt
  6. A huge Pashmina shawl
But I'm telling myself to hands-off eBay this month, urgh.

Looking at those lowly-priced items is killing me!

SHISEIDO Mud Mask: Real and fake

Thank you dear for posting this up because I never thought such simple thing could have been faked.


The back


The pack that I bought from Aussie eBayer. It's for auction and I cant remember exactly how much I paid for 2 packs of it, may be $2?


Everything looks fine EXCEPT the direction of the open mouth. Er... don't know if it's fake T_T

If according to the description, I think the "mud" of the mask is very dark in colour, as the blogger said that for counterfeit item,"The cream is 50% more transparent black than real stock. It is very sticky and smell like gum." Well the smell is not horrible to me though, so can I safely say mine is the authentic one? LOL.

Natural toner and cream

I was inspired by Bubzbeauty to make my own toner with natural ingredients, and also because my toner was running dry at the time >_<

This video from Bubz shows how to make mask and toner by ourselves. I have all the ingredients for masks as well but I will save them for later as I still have lots of face-masks.




Tune to 4:25 for how to make the toner.



I bought the Apple Cider Vinegar (750ml) for $2.60.


A box of green tea with 20 teabags for $1.20.


From the land where my Great-greatgrandpa and grandfather from :)


First, make a mug of green tea with boiled water and set it aside to be cooled down.


Pour into a clean empty bottle, as instructed by Bubz, 2/3 of the bottle to be filled with green tea.


And then 1/3 of it with apple cider vinegar.


Here's my toner! Big bottle at that (500ml) and only costs me a fraction of $3.80! Damn cheap! I've tried it and my face feels cold and smooth, love it! Hopefully it can reduce my acne and acne scars after a month or so :)


As you can see in Bubz's video, she uses Egyptian magic cream after using the toner... I actually found out about this cream through a Melbourne blogger and am surprised to know Bubz is also using it! And apparently, it caused a rave in Hollywood and the world (as claimed) and every celebrities and non-celebrities are using it. I surveyed various comments and feedback before I decide to buy it on eBay because it costs $35 + $7.65 shipping fee! There are mixed responses, some (or I can say many) claim it works magic and wonders, and some don't find it "magic" (because they already have good skin, DUH), and some abandon using it because it is too oily or does not work.


This is how the cream looks like, with a free sample in tube.

It is made of 100% natural ingredients (as claimed by Mr. LordPharaoh ImHotepAmonRa. Geez, I doubted for a moment when I read this name on the label. This Mr. Howard put the powerful Egyptian Gods' names together to become his Egyptian name!) such as Olive oil, Beeswax, Honey, Pollen, Royal Jelly, and Propolis Extract.

But it smells like wax to me though.

I finally decided to buy it because I noticed over 2 days only, its listings on eBay are selling out fast and also The New York's Times had interviewed the founder, so I made the biggest decision to buy the most expensive product ever from eBay.

And because of that I am officially broke. Haha!


Am surprised again because just found out Bubz actually did a video on the cream!




And oh yeah, check out the list below from a Singapore eBay listing, I chuckled when I read some of them, LOL^^
