Today (we meant Thursday) was quite a strange day, it drizzled in the morning, providing us the perfect time for daydreaming and the feeling of nostalgia quickly set in. We always love a little rainy day like this, excellent way to stay indoor and get some work done, and feel that tinkling cool sensation, a welcoming break from the hot and humid weather of late.
An old friend called on the phone and we spoke for close to an hour, which is quite a rare occasion these days (you know, we are so plugged into the social media way of corresponding with friends). It was quite a different experience.
Towards the end of the day, as we were preparing dinner, hubby announced that something has just arrived for us in the mail. To our pleasant surprise, it was a little white paper bag package with that iconic little rose logo. Instantaneously, we knew that it was something from the lovely French beauty brand, Lancôme!
Now we have tried this Lancôme Advanced Génifique concentrate before, and when approached by friends at Lancôme Malaysia if we would love to give it a try again, this time around, share our experience of how it fares after 7 days, we happily took up the challenge. So, check back here in a weeks time and we shall see how it goes *_^
Looking forward to next week then. Hope you are gearing towards an interesting weekend, we know we are, most definitely, lovelies *_^ By the way, thanks for the lovely bouquet of white roses, super gorgeous!
With love,
Jeann
The hour-long phone call with an old friend sounds lovely, things like that rarely happen these days where messaging is so instant, like you said. I look forward to reading your review on this product - Lancome is usually always a good idea! :)

Yes, we should perhaps meet up with friends face to face and talk more rather than using our phone *_^ Lancome is a great brand, have always been an admirer *_^
DeleteI love Lancome, such a classy french brand. Excited about your review too, Jeann! Everybody should use their phone more often for phone calls instead of messaging, agree!! Happy Friday, lovely Jeann! <3

absolutely agree with you, Ira *_^
DeleteThere's nothing I love more than a cosy day in, and beauty products make them so much better. :) Great post, I like the photos very much.

thanks thanks Patricia. It sounds like very dreamy too to me!
DeleteI totally agree on spending time on talking with our friends on the phone. These days it's about social media and instant messaging. I can't recall having a conversation on the phone with a friend for more than 10 minutes. I tried making appointments and meeting up with them more often these days. You're one of them too =)
ReplyDeleteIn fact, I've never tried Genefique! hahaha! I've always wondered if they're good but I read and it's really similar to Estee Lauder's Advanced Night Repair and I totally swear on that one. Will definitely check your site again after a week =)
Yes, Yen. I did check out Estee Lauder's Advanced Night Repair, the consistency is very similar, only difference is the colour *_^
DeleteGood to stick to the one if it works well! Everyone's skin is different but I definitely love Genifique for its lightweight texture and feeling it leaves on my skin!
