This Lancome Genifique Eye is the most amazing eye cream ever! This is a very rich and lightweight cream that keeps the skin around eyes moisturized all day. I love how it spreads lightly around the eyes not leaving any stickiness behind. I had a really bad dark circles and a few fine lines under the eyes, but after 3-4weeks of using this, they were are all gone! Lancome says you can see the result after 7 days, but it took me longer than that. Well, the good thing is that it WORKS, beautifully! -

I have Born Free glass bottles in 9oz and 5oz and I love it! Even though plastic bottles say they are BPA free, I just wanted to be completely free from them. That's why I decided to buy glass bottles instead of plastic ones.I love their venting system too, it bothers baby less as it reduces vacuum building up in the bottle.
The price of the glass bottles are same as plastic bottles, and I could buy these much cheaper when Toys-R-Us were having sales. They sometimes have really good sale price on feeding bottles.
There is a little bit of weight on this, but it's worth it, as it's more durable, easier to wash, keeps milk warm longer than plastic ones.

Lansinoh 20265 Disposable Nursing Pads, 60-pack

I have tried numerous nursing pads in the market ever since I had a baby, from reusables to disposables, and from Johnsons, Avent, and others to Lansinoh! Here are my quick pros and cons:
Pros - This nursing pads are one of the widest and thinest, which means it covers a wide area around your nipple and doesn't bother the shape of your breast! I found some small and thick pads would move around in the bra and make the milk to leak. This Lansinoh pads are thiner but are very absorbent too. The material inside doesn't produce any lints like some other fabric pads and it's very neat and clean.
Cons - The individual packages are sometimes hard to rip apart, and it damages the pad inside. I noticed this is different from box to box (usually one in three boxes had packages hard to open). Some would have packages that would open easily, but some would give me hard time opening them up and make me to rip apart the edge of the pad inside.

Acuve Oasys is one of the latest contact lenses came out from Acuve. They keep the moist inside so the eyes get less dried up. I found it easy to wear all day without getting bothered. Comparing to their one-day products, it surely lasts longer in the eye staying moist. I fell asleep a few time wearing this and surprisingly, it was still moist when I woke up, and I didn't even realize I was wearing contacts! There are so many friends and others using this product around me. After trying number of different contacts people seem to always settle down with Acuve Oasys, because they are very comfortable to wear throughout the day.
There are a few downsides though, I'll list them below:
1. The price is a little too high, 35-40 dollars per box, and it lasts about a month if you wear contacts almost everyday. This means you can spend more than $400 a year on contacts.
2. Others can tell if you're wearing contacts. This Acuve Oasys is lightly blue tinted and it becomes visible around the iris. Sometimes it's not too pretty to have this light blue circle in your eyes.
3. You need to have contact lens case and contact lens solutions. This is not a one-day use and through away type, so need cleaning at the end of the day.
Overall, the Acuve Oasys contact lenses are very comfortable to wear and keeps my eyes moist all day (even when I fall asleep!), and they are the BEST contacts I've ever tried. They are quite expensive though, and needs wash and care everyday, which could mean extra money you have to spend on contact lens cases and solutions. But I'll keep buying this product as I did for the last few years. This is the only one that works for my eyes and I never had any irritation or dryness since I switched to Acuve Oasys.

L'Oreal Go 360 Clean Deep Cream Cleanser

I must've been the first one who bought this when it first came out on the shelf, because I'm the one who always want to try new things! Anyway, I have tried numerous facial wash products before, and this Loreal go 360 clean ranks in top 5 on my list.
Pros - Definitely the silicon facial brush attached. You don't find this anywhere else! The brush is smooth on face and helps to produce rich foam, easy to hold between fingers, and pops right into the bottle so you don't have to worry about losing it. Using the silicon pad helps to remove the makeup more effectively than using fingers. The cleanser itself is very smooth and rich too, and leaves nice scent on the face after cleansing. I love their scent! It's very refreshing.
Cons - It says the silicon brush will reach into your pores and clean them, but it's definitely exaggerated. It only helps to brush away dirt on the outer surface. I also found the cleanser is little too mild for face with makeup. (Could be a little stronger? Just a little!) The trickiest part of using this product is the container. It becomes hard to use when I have less than a half left in the bottle. This bottle can't stand upside down so you have to wait for the cleanser to run down everytime you use it. It could've been better if they used a pump or a tube.
Overall, I like this facial cleanser and love the brush, but I think they could do some more improvement on their container. I will keep buying this product, it works for me and I love the scent.

This is the best baby snack ever! Probably many moms with their babies would be well aware of the 'Baby Mum Mum' products. These PC organics rice rusks are the exactly the SAME product as 'Baby Mum Mum', imported from the same manufacturer, same packaging with different logo and picture, same quantity in a box, and exactly the same ingredients and nutritient, but with much cheaper price!!! Isn't this wonderful?
I just started seeing this product on the shelf a few months ago in Superstore, where I usually shop, and I thought I'd give it a try with the Baby Mum Mums which were the only snack my baby liked ever since he started solid. And I was surprised when I unpackaged the two products - they were exactly the same! Then I did a bit of research on those two, and found out they are exactly the same thing. So, why pay more for Baby Mum Mums?
This rice rusk is for babies 6months and plus for those who started solid food, and they melt easily in mouth. My baby never had any problems eating this since 6 months of age. Most of the baby snack on the market are targeted for babies over 12months and it's so hard to find what to give for babies who just started learning to eat solid. For those who have hard time finding which snack to give their 6-12 months babies, I'd like to recommend this.
The only difference to Baby Mum Mum is that this PC Organics Rice Rusks don't come in different flavours, such as banana or veggie flavours. But nothing could be better than the original, and it's cheaper, so why buy more expensive baby snacks when you can buy this?
