It’s already the month of December
and i’m still not over how the year kinda flew by…
It felt long (prollie cos i was so busy) and eventful (cos i think i did lots!)
but i also can’t wait to see what 2010 brings!

Before i jump the gun and go into New Year’s,

CHRISTMAS IS COMING

When it comes to Christmas presents (or any present for that matter),
i always say it should be something useful,
or something you know will benefit the person but it won’t be something they’d buy for themselves.

Here’s *my* not-so-secret wishlist 

Sony Rolly

It’s an MP3-playing robot that lights up and moves according to the different beats of any song you play!
You can even edit its dance moves 
Try YouTubing some of the vids for it to watch.
I already have portable speakers, but having this would be BEYOND AWESOME.

Last i saw, it was SGD599

Laser Stars Projector

When i first saw this at DeliciousBenny’s apartment,
i was plotting how i could steal it without him knowing.
It’s SO trippy and gorgeous, it’s true what the YouTube vid description says about it – you have to see it for yourself!
It’s basically a machine that projects the universe unto your ceiling.

Rm1,112 at My Aurora

Christian Louboutin

Rolando pumps.
Black patent leather.
5 inches.
Classic classic classic.
I’ll never need another pair of black pumps ever again!

Need i say more?

Oh wait, yes i do – Size 37 pls kthxbai

Shopbop Gift Certificate

I love surfing Shopbop and a gift cert amounting to something like USD1k would be nice 
Below are some items i would pick.
And i say ‘some’, because there are MANY!

Young Fabulous & Broke dress; LaROK studded skirt;
CC Skye fringe bag; Alex Wang leather bag.

SK-II Christmas Coffret Set

I’ve heard time and again how SK-II is a product of necessity.
And i’ve not had a chance to try it save for some samples.
QueenKanch uses it, and so does Elaine Daly, and countless other female friends of mine.
Prollie men too, though none have publicly admitted vanity to that extent yet.

Pitera, the substance found in SK-II products, are the stuff of LEGEND.

Did you know:
Pitera was first discovered when they noticed how the hands of sake brewery workers were extraordinarily soft and youthful, despite their faces (due to being elderly) had pronounced wrinkles.
After a series of experiments, skincare scientists discovered the secret – Pitera – a clear, nutrient-rich liquid.

Pitera is known to
help adjust the skin’s rhythm,
replenish and retain moisture,
tone skin texture,
adjust pH levels,
control the generation of dark spots,
soothe sunburned skin
and helps control the secretion of sebum.

Interesting note: “In Japan, the masks are known as “a bride’s best friend”, because women apply them daily for three months prior to their wedding day to ensure dewy and translucent skin!” [Source: The Star]

There are 7 unique Christmas sets available, with each set including SK-II’s star product – the acclaimed Facial Treatment Essence that contains more than 90% Pitera. But i’m just gonna show you 3 that i like  

Set 1: SK-II Pitera® Miracle Gift Set

“Experience SK-II’s latest innovation – SK-II Skin Signature that restores your skin’s firmness, smoothness and radiance from within – in this essential skincare set. Also includes the product at the heart of SK-II, Facial Treatment Essence.”

Set 4: SK-II Pitera® Radiance Set

“A whitening set that helps promote more even skin tone and reduces the appearance of existing dark spots, thus helping to bring out the radiance of your skin. Includes the award-winning whitening essence, Whitening Source Derm Definition;  Whitening Source Derm-Revival Program that takes the innovative form of “smart chips” used with a stretchable mask; and Facial Treatment Essence.”

I used to stay away from ‘whitening’ products cos i don’t see anything wrong with being tan, and abhore the message some give out that to be beautiful, you have to be fair.
What rubbish is that.
Then some time back, someone explained to me that ‘whitening’ products don’t all mean to make one fairer, but some are to smoothen out sun spots. And this is something i need cos i’m always out in the sun, and (sigh) have noticed that with age and fun in the sun, comes little sun spots that are gradually going to get bigger 0_0.

The SK-II Christmas coffrets are more affordable than my earlier wish items,
so even if you don’t get this as a pressie from a loved one (show them this post to HINT HINT HINT haha),
You can get it for yourself 
Think of it as a pampering reward for a year of hard work!
