ღ老妈子六十年代的梳妆枱ღ

前天晚上，在一群死党家留宿一夜，看到我旧时的室友坐在一张椅子上，手靠在枱桌上，对着一面化妆镜，涂涂抹抹，那面镜子，算起来，不大不小，刚刚好。她十分专注的，拿了一瓶，一罐，一盒，就这样，安静的对着那一面镜子。耳畔传来的，是那呼呼声的电风扇，一呼一呼的。

我拿了张椅子， 坐在她身边，安静的看着她涂涂抹抹。保养品，是女人的象征。我不说女孩，因为凡是过了青春期的女孩都爱涂涂抹抹， 它，是女孩转型的象征。她安静的搽着，而我，安静的坐着，室内留下一地的静谧，和祥的静谧。

寂静的夜，我听到萨士克风的和弦，清脆的风铃声，青蛙的几声缠叫声，铺成一首不知名却动人的乐章。或许是心有感触吧，这一首和弦触动了我心里的那么一条弦。我侧首，她手上握着一瓶，不再是旧时的那一瓶。纤长的手指握着瓶瓶罐罐，是白里透红的。

曾几何时，老妈子的手掌佈满了细小的皱纹，粗糙的手指，条条的茧子，每一条都是那么的深刻，那么的强烈。妈，我知道，我都知道，这烙印是你辛苦持家的成果，我引以为傲呐。 

六十年代时，老妈子婷婷玉立，荷包待放，也爱涂涂抹抹。六十年代的人，用的保养品，化妆品，算是独一无二的，在现代早已没有制作了吧。老妈子嫁给老头子时，带着一个嵌着化妆镜的梳妆枱嫁过来。红彤彤的囍字，梳妆枱发出一阵阵的檀木香，淡淡的，十分淡淡的，却扣人心弦。

我喜欢老妈子在梳化镜前涂涂抹抹，因为涂涂抹抹后的老妈子总是香香的。空气里是那淡淡的香味，有橘子香，玫瑰香，茉莉香，百荷花香。老妈子，你是花园精灵还是花朵仙子啊？

老妈子，青春不要留白，您那妩媚的笑容永不消逝，开心也好，不开心也罢，嘴角一定要挂上笑容。我会买齐瓶瓶罐罐摆在属于您的梳妆枱上，若您哪天不开心的时候，我来帮您化个妆；心情靓时，也要帮您化个妆。

永远不要忘记您的女儿，就算将来我有了属于自己的梳妆枱，女儿还是不会忘记属于老妈子那六十年代的梳妆枱。

ღArtistry + Swarosvkiღ

After the last post, it's has been a long time i didn't update 

hanada, 

feel a little bit guilty. Lazy girl huh?

:P 

Holiday is a trap, a lot a lot of assignments bla bla bla is just shits.

I desperate to find something to talk about. Ghee, why not i share my skincare products -

ARTISTRY?  I have a crush on anything about skin cares start from 1st semester in

Monash

, haven't discover the reason yet.

So, here we go. You know about Loreal, Clinelle, Shiseido, the body shop etc.
Plus top 5 brands all over the world: 

Clinique, Lancome, Estee Lauder, Chanel. 

And the last one with the same quality as Clinique is???

ARTISTRY

                                               


                                               


                                                               


Artistry is among the world's top five, largest-selling (as it is the most cheapest yet have the same quality as Clinique). economic for teens, prestige brand of facial skincare and colour cosmetics baseon a Euromonitor study of global 2005 retail sales (from Internet resources).


Artistry history:
The Artistry brand was created in 1968, at the time, it was only in the United States and Canada. By 1987, ARTISTRY products were sold in 15 countries and produced at a multi-million dollar cosmetic production plant at Alticor Inc. headquaters in Ada, Mich. 


what make Artistry differece?
The ARTISTRY research and product development team uses state-of-theart equipment-including instruments to analyze the skin's surface and beneath, similar to the technology used by NASA to map the surface of the moon.  Most of the ARTISTRY scientists work in the development and technology labs located in Ada, Mich, with additional technical staffs in China, Japan, Korea and Europe. ARTISTRY is a leader in developing products that meet the unique characteristics and skin care needs of different ethinicities. Many customers reside in Asian countries. Consequently, recent research efforts have focused on Asian skin and, typically, the variation in skin characteristics between Caucasian and Asian skin types. ARTISTRY has over 150 base products that are divided into two main categories: Skin Care and Cosmetics. And i own both, XD. 


Skin Care :
Essentials 
ARTISTRY Essentials is for the practical side of  a woman whose beauty routine is quick and efficient. Essentials is a comprehensive product line for all skin types providing optimal skin health with maximum ease of use. Currently, i'm using Essentials Combination / Oily Skin for around 2 weeks. It comes with Balancing Clenser, Balancing Toner, and Balancing Lotion SPF 15.

Pure White 
whiteningPure white is for the woman who seeks for whitening skin. This products work to prevent, treat, and protect against discolouration. I'm not using Pure White system as i'm facing pimples problem since tis few months.
T______T  Pimples, go away!

                                        

                                             
Time Defiance
This is for the woman determined to seize control of every aspect of her being. TIME DEFIANCE products preserve and restore the appearance of youthful skin and prevent the visible sign of aging. For girls out there, once we reach 25 or above, i personally recommend u this products as you won't be burdened with wrinkles. apots (normally on old lady's face) and so on IF you are expert on skin care.

                                                                                       




Cosmetics :
ARTISTRY offers a complete line of background / colour cosmetic products in 500 shades to meet the diverse needs of women around the world. The line includes a comprehensive collection of trendy and classic colour lines of wearable shaded products for face, brows, eyes, cheeks, lips and nails, all of them featuring the latest in colour, finish and texture. For instance, i want to buy eyeshadow with 'sunburst' colour, i personally think that this is a bold colour, sadly, it is sold out on that day. Oh yeah, ARTISTRY only sold in Amway warehouse, Petaling Jaya. No wonder i didn't get in touch with ARTISTRY before. ><

                                        


Well, now i'm going to talk about Amway now. Haha, why i turn topic so fast one?
>< It's all because ARTISTRY is one of Amway products, discovered it recently. Well, ARTISTRY's founder is wife of the founder of Nutrilite in Amway. What a cute combination?

                                                                                            
At first, i never heard of ARTISTRY, i admit that i'm not kind of very expert in skincare and cosmetics. Not until i been invited by a friend to a talk about ARTISTRY skin care products last last week. Thanks to Yvonne Lim and her friends for giving me so many tips on how to handle pimples. ^Q^


And the most important part in this post is all about Swarosvki bracelet. After i surf internet about swarosvki, only i know that Swarosvki crystal, it is in top 5 crystal brands in the world as well. Top 5! Others in this distinguished category include Lalique, Orrefors, Kosta Boda, Baccarat.

Amway is doing a great promotion last month which is in August. You buy Rm 380 (distributor price) or Rm 470 (customer price) of ARTISTRY Skincare products, you will be free a Swarosvki bracelet.
Good job to Amway. 


                            


Eventually, 388 bucks is exchanged hand for ARTISTRY stuffs and Swarosvki bracelet. The Swarosvki is just so nice, it makes my day. The most unique is this bracelet is only made for Amway ARTISTRY. wow~ *thumbs up.

I personally feel that it is worth 388 for a top 5 prestige brands of skincare products and a world''s top 5 crystal. Think of it, the most cheapest Swarosvki crystal bracelet cost around Rm 450 in Malaysia shop. You may check it out if you think i'm fooling you. There are only 2 branches in Malaysia, Mid Valley and Pavillon. After all, it is WORTH, isn't it? And i have to thanks my mum here for her support.

Finally, come to the last, i would like to talk more details about ARTISTRY in another post. But, i can make some introduction here, ARTISTRY was a sponsor for MISS AMERICA 2010. Proud!!!
