Eyes on a Doctor


MY search for the ‘best’ eye-cream has temporarily ended last week with the purchase of Kiehl’s Line Reducing Eye Brightening Concentrate (right). For all the researching I did, this product was a random pick. I bought it after a couple of glasses of wine with Jasmine, who is a huge fan of Dr Sebagh  - she has almost everything that’s on the very expensive beauty counter and she also uses all of it in a nightly ritual after a warm shower. She says she loves what the Doctor does for her and I suppose that’s all that matters.


Before settling on Kiehl’s, I had my eyes on a Doctor too. dr.brandt that is. Very tempting reviews from the lady at the counter (naturally), and more convincing testimonies from personal friends who have sworn by the Doctor. The counter lady said that she has stopped using concealers after turning to one of the eye creams and even her under-eye oil sacs have vanished. How interesting. As for my friends, I think it’s just psychological for them - a mere feel-good factor to be going to bed and waking up with the Doctor each day. They still look the same to me - ever beautiful.

Anyways. The brand interests me so much I’d like to take the Doctor home with me some day if Kiehl’s is not working for me. The counter lady told me that Dr Fredric Brandt (left) was 75 but in the mug shot I saw on the pamphlet, he looked 25 and very ‘constructed’ if you know what I mean. Freaky yet preserved. It’s like he had tried and tested all prototypes on his face before they went to the mass market. I don’t intend to look like that at 75 but he’s interesting :

"Dr Brandt was the first to introduce green tea into skincare and the first to launch at-home treatments that mimic in-office procedures such as dr. brandt microdermabrasion, laser tight and laser a-peel. The internationally known lecturer, innovative researcher and sought-after physician began his impressive medical career as a cancer researcher at Sloan-Kettering where he specialized in the research and treatment of leukemia.
 
There, he became a pioneer in the discovery of natural anti-oxidants to fight free radical damage, which he would later base his eponymous skincare line. While studying how anti-oxidants affect the aging process in skin he learned that green tea fights free radicals that cause premature aging. This anti-oxidant, combined with white tea and grapeseed extract, has become the signature and award winner of dr. brandt skincare."
 
So yes. I’d give dr.brandt’s Time Arrest Eye Serum a go in a few months. It’s double the price of my Kiehl’s, but I suppose if it works, it’s worth the price. Well, that is if my Kiehl’s don’t live up to its expections. The counter lady said it’d take a month for visible results!

  1. Does Dr Brandt claim to have achieved his appearance without surgery? I wouldn't buy eye cream from someone who was an obvious bullshitter.

  3. Good luck with these eye drops. Waiting for results on these things is a real pain but it's worth it in the long run believe me.

An Award on Oscar Day

THANKS for the Kreativ Blogger award on Oscar Day,  Queen Bee . It is sweet to pin a badge like this here and since this is my first award, it's all the more sweet.  With this, I'm required to list out ten random things about myself and later tag six other favourite bloggers.  Let's start with the 10 Random Things :)  1) Diamonds are not for me.  I admire jewelry (fine or otherwise) but I'm not in love with them enough to want to own them. My favourite jewelry is a pair of white pearl stud earrings.  2) I drink water for breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner. It's just a good habit I can't break. I usually write with a bottle of water next to me instead of a mug of coffee.  3) I love balms . Nothing calms me better than a nice balm. It reminds me of my grandma, clears my mind, and puts me to sleep.  4) I keep a hammer in my bedroom.  It came in handy TWICE when the lock jammed. I broke it and set me free. My mother was petrified with the knowledge that m

From Doha, With Love : Minimal Changes

SO I've been to Doha a few times already by now. Minimal or no changes at all on this flat land of sand and sandstorms, except that the population seemed to have increased by god-knows-how-many-folds judging from the volume of people seen at the popular Souk Waqif in the city centre two days ago. It's like people have multiplied like the sea sands. The last few times I was there, I remember liking the place for what it was - a perfect venue to people-watch, smoke Shisha and be a tourist. Now I don't know if that's a good thing... ...if there aren't enough social venues for this astounding volume! Perhaps, I'm a little spoiled coming from a city where food is available 24 hours a day, with freedom of alcohol consumption at random bistros and cafes and to do just about everything I wished for in a cultural setting that doesn't stare at me like I'm some kind of a three-eyed monster. I suppose people here are just a curious bunch given the potpourri of

The Mean One

WHAT do I do without prompts during sluggish times like this. Thanks to Mama Kat's. I'd share something mean someone had said to me once, and why it has stuck with me after all these years.  You know how some people are plain weird ? The type that others would avoid simply because it's the easy way out around them? I've always thought that some of these individuals are just lonely and they could do with company once in a while. That's how I ended up spending some tea breaks with Madam X because most people just avoided her. So yeah. I took pity. Madam X was a smart lady with just too many personal issues that sometimes screwed up her talents. Often in a dreamy state, she loved talking about the drama that went on in her life and I'd always just listened. She also frequently went off topic and lectured about randoms things like what's inside a computer or the circuit of an electrical device. Now that's clearly not my cup of tea but I'd alway
