Marie Louise Reviews continued...

Greetings dearest folk!

I just wanted to share how much I love Maire Louise's Cleansing Clear Gel!! Not only is it extremely gentle to the skin, but it also preserves my skin's moisture while removing most traces of dirt. Yes I used it several times around my eyes and amazingly, my eyes didn't sting or hurt as with other cleansers. I also love how the cleanser is this beautiful clear sea-green gel that looks like liquid glass! Lovely!

Study hard for finals!! Good luck!
wheeee the summer is coming up so soon!

"Secret Scholar" in Real SAT Korea

Hello, everyone!

I brought a good news for Secret Scholars. =]

I've been writing for a Korean online magazine 'Real SAT Korea'
as a columnist from 2006. It is a magazine for people in Korea
who wants to study in the U.S.

For this month's column, I wrote a page about Secret Scholar!
I attached an original page of the magazine, but I have no clue
why the picture does not appear in its original size.

Basically, I wrote how Secret Scholar started, SS has staff
recruitment every Fall, SS just launched Spring 2009 issue,
and SS's website address. Enjoy.

Marie Louise Reviews

Hello hello!

How was your day? Mine was excellent but tiring haha...

These past days, I got to try a few of the Marie Louise cosmetic product samples. Overall, I was quite impressed.

Moistraiser α-VC (Moisturizing Toner): leaves my dry skin feeling fully hydrated. It does have a slightly sticky finish, but the stickiness isn't uncomfortable in the least. Rather, the toner felt nourishing and gave my skin a dewy look.



Crème α-VC (Facial Moisturizer): thick and creamy yet slightly translucent. I loved using this product because I have dry skin. The texture is wonderfully silky and cool... rather pleasing and gentle to the skin. I actually preferred using the cream at night rather than in the day because it was a bit on the heavy side.

I have yet to try the Restoration Clear Gel, Cleansing Clear Gel, and Vital Nanoemulsion. Stay tuned for further reviews!!

TRASHION COVERAGE

Hello Secret Scholars,

First things first, OUR BLOG IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION! One of our staff writers, Christina Pham, is currently designing a Secret Scholar Blog Banner to spice things up! We plan on putting that up sometime this weekend.

As you all should know, Project Trashion, hosted by UCSD's VEG and Ashley Ferrer, was this past Friday at The Loft.

A couple of S.S. staff members and I got to attend, and cover this fabulous event!

I was extremely excited because I've been looking forward to this event ever since the fliers were first distributed around campus.

Project Trashion ended up being nothing short of marvelous.

Marvelous, as in- a FULL house, good food, tasteful music, and cutting-edge designers/eco-friendly designs! I was even able to sneak backstage and play paparazzi with the designers and models. Yay! =)

& A huge congratulations to Kevin Nguyen from Sixth College on placing first!

We might be featuring him in our Spring Quarter Issue. Fingers crossed!

You can steal our Project Trashion pictures @ S.S. Trashion Coverage. Brought to you by yours truly!

Other than that, it's crunch time for the S.S. Staff!

We're all currently trying to juggle midterms while working on our Spring Quarter Issue and planning our Spring Quarter Launch Party! Not to mention, we're taking our staff photo tonight... phew! We're also picking our staff favorites which will be featured in our Spring Quarter Issue. ;)

Also, please NOMINATE UCSD for the VS Pink Collegiate Collection @ vspink!

We were ranked #84 a week ago, but I checked today & we're currently #64! Lets keep it up SD! :)

I also have a little surprise/spoiler regarding our Spring Quarter Issue... which I will reveal some time next week! So make sure you stay tuned- I promise, it's a real treat!
