Clarins Review: Skin Care Skin Care - Cleanser

Review: Clarins Purifying Cleansing Gel With Hamamelis is the One Cleanser I Hope Clarins Bring Back

This is the last tube in my stash that I’ve been saving as it has been discontinued. I’ve taken a few picture of this last month so I thought I should revive the review.

One of my favourite cleansing gel is definitely the Clarins Purifying Cleansing Gel With Hamamelis from Truly Matte Set which I hauled in June 2011. This is not a full size product but it sure do look like a full size to me. A full size tube is 125ml retailing at RM92. This on the other hand is 75ml which makes it valued at RM55.20. Worthy!

Here is some info from Clarins Malaysia website.

Beauty Benefits
Your skin care essential for refined skin. Gently and effectively removes make-up & impurities, while tightening pores & balancing oil production.

Your first skincare step in your quest for refined skin- our foaming cleanser for oily & combination skin. Tighten pores & immediately improve your skin’s appearance. Plus, the exclusive Sebopur complex balances oil production & skin pH. Skin stays moisturized while make-up & impurities are removed gently & effectively. For clean & comfortable skin, without that “tight-skin” feeling!

Application:-
Work up a lather & smooth over face & neck. – Massage using light circular motions (avoiding eye area) or the Clarins Cleansing Method- by gently placing hands flat over the face. Briskly lift hands off the face, as if the skin was burning hot. Repeat this movement 5 to 6 times. – Rinse well with cool water in the morning & warm water at night, then apply Toning Lotion with Iris.

Active Ingredients:
Sebopur®: An exclusive combination of Hamamelis, Gaultheira, Vitamin B6 and Zinc, which purifies & balances sebum production. Codiavelane: Moisturizes the skin.


Simple, short and sweet instruction on the back of the tube. The tube is just like any ordinary cleanser or facial foam. Although the one I have is from a best buy set, however the cap is very very strong and sturdy which I appreciate it very much. The cap is secured with a shrink wrap which means it’s new, fresh and unopen. Another thing which I like from Clarins.

My Skin Care & Body Care Stash

3 months back I showed you my brand new unopened makeup stash at this post https://street-love.net/2012/06/another-ikea-addition-lennart-drawer.html. I’ve lots of brand new skin care here and there and I’ve gotten tired searching and thinking what I have on hand. So yesterday I took out all my Clarins gift box which is taking lots of space from my huge drawer and decided to place each products in the drawer instead. I’m almost done arranging yesterday night and finished off the balance this morning.

Here is it! All in this drawer is my stock. Brand new, unopened. From right to left is Sephora gift box, Michael Kors Estee Lauder pouches, Victoria Secret Delicate Petals Body Mist (discontinued, last 2 bottles), one row of body care, one row of serum/moisturizer, one row of cleanser, one row of cleansing milk, one row of toner, one row of mix eye serum with sunblock and the last two row is gifts to future recepient lol! There’s a few more hidden in front of the drawer which I didn’t managed to capture.

Easy access and better view for me. I’m gonna put all sachets and trial size in the gift boxes that I have.

Blog sale coming soon!

Clarins Birthday Gift for 2012

While I was at Isetan KLCC yesterday morning I collected my birthday gift from Clarins. This year I was given the same passport holder as last year (read here) but with a coin pouch from the same design! Love it to max.


It’s a pleasure being a Clarins member 🙂

Review: Clarins Lotus Face Treatment Oil Saved My Face From Breakout!

I don’t know why I took such a long time discovering Clarins Lotus Face Treatment Oil. But I’m glad I have a bottle at home. Girl let me tell you…everyone gotta have this at home. It’s a heaven-sent product!


You’ve probably read that Estee Lauder Idealist Even Skintone Illuminator gave me serious break out on the whole of my right face. After a week the break out didn’t subside even a bit and I got panic. I don’t know if I’m lucky or what but I happen to bought a bottle and it’s still unopened at that time.

Clarins Lotus Face Treatment Oil had gone through a revamped and I can bet every Clarins user is happy to know that the new packaging comes with a glass dropper! Instead of pouring out from a glass bottle and risk having oil everywhere on the bottle, I can now easily control the amount I need. With no mess too :). The only downside is Clarins shrunk the previous 40ml content to 30ml. I guess we’re sacrificing 10ml for a dropper?

Beautiful Body with the New Clarins Tri-Active Body Treatment

Rediscover the happiness that comes from taking care of your body. It is a treat to have an absolute well-being. Escape to a place where you can relax and recharge your body and mind. Wake up your five senses and feel good. A treatment at Clarins Skin Spa not only offers you the chance to lie back and enjoy a completely luxurious experience, it also delivers exactly what it promises and much more.


Looked familiar? I’m back to Clarins Skin Spa Pavilion for another experience and this time I’m invited to try Clarins’ New Tri-Active Body Treatment.

The treatment was suppose to take place last month but my menstrual went haywire and let’s just say I wasn’t in the right condition to proceed on my appointment day. Add in the busy schedule lately thus the delay for the treatment. Sok Hung who’s my Beautician previously (read here for facial review) has been following up closely with me to make sure I had the booking according to my preferred day and time. She also happened to be my Beautician this time round and I was happy with the arrangement. Let me just tell you Sok Hung is very friendly, funny and her skills is marvelous.

Are You A Hand Cream Lover?

 

This is something random.

Yesterday I was scratching my head trying to recall if I have any hand cream at home as I wanted to bring one to my new office. I knew I have one from Fabulous Find July box but since I haven’t take picture of it, I can’t use it yet (typical beauty blogger lol!). As my memory start to refresh a lil bit, I realized I have 5 brand new unopened tubes of hand cream! And all is unopened as I haven’t take picture! So I ended up bringing the one which I had next to my bed instead lol. Crazy I know.

I think girls can’t run away from buying hand cream. I personally like using them. I can go crazy buying them and nowadays I tried not to buy any or open a new tube unless I finished up one. It’s hard. But if I want to stock up I need to use them diligently. I’m not an avid user as I can get lazy and forgetful most of the time. Am I a hand cream hoarder? Err well not completely :). Maximum I had stock up before is 8 tubes. Now I have 5 tubes in my stash. I only took picture of 4 because the 5th is a repeat of Crabtree & Evelyn Avocado, Olive & Basil.

My next hand cream purchase is something which I wanted to try for quite some time now. It’s L’Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream and Almond Smooth Hands. I think I might get Almond Smooth Hands this weekend.

What say you? Do you fancy using hand cream? Which is your favorite and what would you suggest that I try?
