What kind of impression does this word ‘Anoretix’ give you? To me, it sounds like some anorexic-related disorder.

Of course it’s not! I’m just kidding.

Anoretix is not some eating disorder. In fact, it is one of the hottest new weight loss supplements at the moment. So far, this product has received positive reviews from almost all its users. It is claimed to contain nine very special patented and clinically tested weight loss ingredients.

If you want to know more about Anoretix and what those who tried this product have to say, you may read the review and testimonials by clicking on the link given above.

Whether to believe or not what were given in the testimonials, it’s solely at your own discretion.

…A man who needs to clean up the dishes after dinner, clear the garbage, and hear his wife rants about her day – after he comes home from work exhausted?

…Or a woman who has to cope with her freelance writing assignment, blogging, cooking chores, laundry and internet marketing activity while trying her best to look good – all in one day?

Hahaha! Yeah, that’s my husband – the man, and me – the woman.

We are indeed a very busy couple. I think soon we will have to start taking energy pills! It is very likely that we are moving back to our hometown in two months’ time. Imaging all the energy we need in order to juggle between packing our stuffs and carrying our daily chores at the same time…

Speaking of moving house, I’d better finish up some of my beauty products as soon as I can. Don’t want to bring back too many bottles because we are not even sure if our new house will be ready for us to move in!

Anti-aging products are on the top of my must-have list nowadays. As my current financial status refrains me from buying goods from cosmetic brands, I diverted my radar to bottles and jars on the open shelves in pharmacies, hehe. And as mentioned in my previous post, I have started using products of L’Oreal and Bio-essence.

They are:
L’Oreal’s Revitalift Anti-Wrinkle + Firming Day Cream SPF18

1. Anti-wrinkle and firming action with:

• Pro-Retinol A Forte - stimulate the regeneration of skin’s cells and to strengthen the epidermis.
• Fibre-Elastyl - a L’Oreal patented firming active ingredient, protects the elastic fibers from degeneration.

2. Optimal protection against skin aging with:

• Enriched, powerful UVA and UVB filters, preventing photo-aging and the appearance of new wrinkles, and for a complete and daily shield against time effects.

I’m glad that I picked up Revitalift. I have used it for more than a week, and found it quite friendly to my skin. It’s not oily even though its texture is rather thick. Just make sure that you gently massage the cream on your face until it’s well absorbed into the skin. On the packaging it says that “Within 3 weeks, wrinkles are reduced, skin is firmer”. Well, let me use it for another week or two then we’ll know if it really works.

(Somehow I believe that, coupled with my facial sessions with NYSS, this cream will work fine for me. )

Bio-essence’s Cell Renew Essence

• Enriched with Bio-mineral essence, herbal ingredients and moisturizing agents that penetrate into the skin to deeply nourish ultra dry areas.
• Revitalizes the skin structure and promotes cell renewal.
• Fine lines and wrinkles diminish progressively and skin becomes finer and smoother.

Errr, I think I’m a person that changes my mind rather quickly and spontaneously. Initially I planned to buy Radiant Youth Essence, but instead I ended up paying for Cell Renew Essence. I didn’t change my mind for no reasons. Firstly, Cell Renew Essence is almost half the price of Radiant Youth Essence (RM80 plus vs RM40 plus for the same volume). Secondly, I think the the former offers benefits more relevant to my skin needs.

Unlike Radiant Youth Essence, Cell Renew Essence is not oily in nature and has more of a water-based texture. It absorbs well into the skin, and I feel that it is providing adequate hydration to my skin. I’m using it day and night before the moisturizer. Again, I think this product is able to do some good for my skin. We’ll see.
