Fishball Minced Meat Noodles

I'm craving for spicy noodles today.  So instead of having lunch at home, I passed by to our nearest hawker while kids at school.

my cravings:  Fishball Minced Meat Noodles

The first dish I tried in Singapore.  I prefer yellow flat noodles, dry and spicy with soup on the side. In hawker, usual toppings includes: fishballs, fishcake, minced pork, dried  garlic and spring onion.  I eat it fast like other locals :-p.  Eat while hot!

Maybelline Clear Smooth Minerals BB Cream with SPF26/PA+++

...contains 8 healthy minerals for 8 healthy skin results based on clinical tests:

more radiance
more hydration
improved clarity
smoother skin
more even skintone
less redness
fewer lines
better appearance

It's a tinted moisturizer, sunblock, and make-up base in one fabulous product...

I have a fair, normal/combi and freckled face.  Been using this product for a week.  The consistency of the cream is watery, so I am very careful when opening the cap and squeezing the tube.  It is advisable that the mouth tube is place upwards when opening and squeezing.  Tried first with sponge it didn't work - it absorbs quickly on sponge.  Best applied using fingertips and it blended pretty well.  While applying, it feels like I'm applying a moisturizer.  When cream settled on my skin, it was perfect.  I actually like the color on my skin compared to Hydro Splash BB Cream.  In Hydro... it was more darker than my skin tone.

When I'm out, as in outdoor errands,  my whole face was perspiring as if I put a huge amount of moisturizer on my skin.  As a result, the 8 promising effect wears off easily.  I even tried not to put moisturizer before the BB cream,  but still my face perspires.  Also, it feels oily after few hours outdoor.

I better not use this on my outdoor walk.  Well, I will not buy this product again,  at least I bought it cheaper lah!   I'm not happy at all :-(
