2007 : A Very Kikay Recap

// December 31st, 2007 // No Comments » // Update

A year has just passed us by ( or will, I’m just excited, it’s a few hours away ). So excited for 2008. I’m not only kikay, but also horribly superstitious, and I just love the number 8!

Here’s to more kikay adventures, with me at Kikay Kits!

But let’s have a recap first of this year’s most kikay posts :

A Kikay’s Holiday Stress Part Two

// December 30th, 2007 // No Comments » // Body Love

Here’s a continuation of A Kikay’s Holiday Stress Part 1. All I can say is that, it’s freezing cold lately!

4. Flaking skin
With the course of Beauty & Minerals joining various bazaars, I’ve noticed that alot of my clients have complained about flaking skin. Yes, the abrupt drop in temperature further confuses the skin more, and makes it dry, flaky, even if it is oily. Confusion, confusion!

Solution : The fast way to get rid of the flakies superficially is after applying foundation, spritz it with Evian moisture mist. It makes the skin dewier, and hides the flakes. With the cold weather, be vigilant about applying moisturizer, even SPF, to keep the skin in balance.

Yes, supplements for Stress help!

I might be the biggest whiner during the Holidays , but hey, I still love it anyway. The weather’s so chilly, it feels great, I’ve been longing to cuddle with a book and watch DVDs as soon as I get my much needed time off from work. But you know, during the Holidays , there are so much stress vibes that are just everywhere! Stress from work – total burnout, I swear, stress from preparing and organizing parties, and stress from shopping.

A kikay girl like me has observed some stress in the name of beauty, too. Here are some of my observations :

1. Skin breaking out lately.
More than two girl friends of mine have had really bad breakouts lately. Call it Holiday stress. Blame the Holidays! Rar! ( No, just kidding ). No sleep, restless from coming up with a shopping list, beating the holiday traffic, and nonstop partying. With me, working 7 days a week paved way for this catastrophic event.

First of all, apologies to my readers of Kikay Kits for my absence. Been burned out lately, and well, been out most of the time because of preparations for Mineral Makeup Weekend and other office stuff.

This Holiday rush, I just want to share that alot of people ( my friends, for that matter ) have complained about Holiday-related stress, that caused their skin to breakout. That includes me. For a gal that has microcomedones instead of mad, angry zits, my first few zits surfaced last week that made me really really freak out. I hate pimples. I hate them, I hate them, I hate them!

In My Kikay Kit : Bare Escentuals Flawless Face Case

// December 11th, 2007 // No Comments » // Kikay Kits Collection

I’m a self confessed mineral makeup addict with oil glands out of control. It’s a sad fact of life that I have to bring oil blotting papers with me in my purse, as well as finishing powder to retouch. But then, sometimes, the bag screams as if it wants justice ( “heyy!! I’ve been making you look good all evening and all you do is spill powder on me! Grr ! ” – okay, that was weird ).

Then comes my beautiful compact that is inside my kikay kit : The Bare Escentuals Flawless Face Case. (more…)
