Clarins Beauty Fair 2011 Haul

I went for a brief while to Clarins Beauty Fair which was held last Friday at their office in Amoda Building. I spent RM435 in total mainly on cosmetics. Below is my haul breakdown.

Clarins Beauty Fair 2011 Haul amounting RM435. Value is probably around RM900?? 

Instant Radiance Coffret Set – RM40 [Retail price unknown] (From cash counter)

Contains: Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch 15ml [my fav!!], Instant Light Perfecting Touch 1ml & Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector 5ml

Instant Light Booster Kit – RM35 [Retail price unknown] (2007 batch)

Contains: Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch 4ml, Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector 5ml, Instant Light Complexion Perfector 10ml, Instant Light Perfecting Touch 1ml & Wonder Volume Mascara 3ml

Powder Compact #30 Sandy Beige 10g – RM40 each [Retail price RM116 each] (From cash counter)

Eyebrow Kit “Pro” Palette – RM50 [Retail price RM135] (Refill pack is sold fo RM25)

Concealer Stick #01 Light Beige – RM30 each [Retail price RM92 each]

Instant Eye Make-Up Remover – RM50 [Retail price RM98] FOC 3X HydraQuench Cream 5ml

White Plus Renewing Gentle Exfoliator – RM40 each [Retail price unknown] FOC 3X HydraQuench sample each

Although many complained that they hope to see more skincare but I was more anticipated for cosmetic only. Reason is that I have way too much of skincare which is yet to be used to I wasn’t looking forward to buy any in the beauty fair. To me it doesn’t matter if Clarins is calling this beauty fair, clearance sales or warehouse sales. It is still a bargain sales event anyway. If anyone have problem with how to called the event or what are they selling or even the manufacture date. . . just don’t buy it! Simple.

I’m satisfied with this haul as my target is to get compact powder, any Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch sets, concealer and makeup remover 🙂

Baviphat Clarins Crabtree & Evelyn Lancôme

Newly Opened

Happy Saturday!

Just this week I managed to used up loads of products and opened another new load. Some are just new products that I’m trying. Others are stock replenishment. Below is what I took out from my stash to use.

Clarins Purifying Cleansing Gel With Hamamelis 75ml
Review: Read here
This is 2nd last tube from my stash. It’s part of Truly Matte Best Buy Set which was selling for RM68. Like this very much. I’m using this in the morning after I woke up. Very good cleansing gel to be used to eliminate oil on the face. Too bad the set is sold out.

Clarins HydraQuench Cream-Mask 15ml
Review: Read here
This is a part of GWP which I received from numerous purchases. This is also my 2nd last tube in my stash. I’m using this on alternate days apart from Pure and Radiant Mask for hydration purposes.

Clarins Pure and Radiant Mask With Pink Clay 15ml
Review: Read here
This masks is my very first purchase back in March 2011. After finishing the retail size tube I never bought any as there’s a 15ml tube included in Truly Matte Best Buy Set as well! I bought this deep cleansing mask to clear the dirts from inside out. I can’t live without this mask. I’m using it on every Mon, Wed and Fri.

Crabtree & Evelyn Citron Honey & Coriander Bath & Shower Gel 50ml
This is a part of a 2011 Christmas Set which I bought 2 weeks back. I like this more than Pomegranate one. However the container is as hard as a rock! There’s no way to dispense out the shower gel by squeezing the container. I need to remove the whole cap away. Troublesome. I finished it in just 3 days.

Clarins Eau Dynamisante Invigorating Fragrance 100ml
This fragrance is a part of Clarins 2011 Christmas Set; Wake Up Treat which was selling for RM173. I’m still trying to accept the scent though LOL. Smell so nice at counter or facial but at home it’s too strong. I’m still justifying the scent.

Crabtree & Evelyn Pomegranate Argan & Grapeseed Bath & Shower Gel 50ml
This is also a part of 2011 Christmas Set. Just finished it yesterday. I don’t like the smell very much. Again, the container is hard. Impossible to squeeze the shower gel out! Grrrrr!

Clarins UV Plus HP Day Screen High Protection (Tinted) 30ml
Review: Read here
I received this as a gift which was included in Shaping Facial Lift Double Lift Best Buy Set @ RM429. This is worth RM158 which is very very worthy. I finished my limited edition 50ml tube a few months ago and has been using GWP 10ml. Which explains why only now I’m using this. This act as a sunblock and foundation for me. I stopped using BB cream after I started using this. Only 20cent coin size is needed for the whole face. Yes, this is my HG.

Baviphat Sweet Honey Lip Scrub 10ml
Bought this from Watsons KLCC a few weeks ago and has been testing out before doing a review. What I can say is this is way much better than The Body Shop Lipscuff! Review will be up soon.

Clarins Pore Minimizing Serum 15ml
Review: Read here
This 15ml is actually half of retail’s full size. Also included in Truly Matte Best Buy Set and sadly to say this is my last tube in the stash =(. What I love about this serum is that you can see immediate result. So far I never found any pore minimizing serum which is this good.

Last but not least…
Lancôme Miracle Miniature 5ml
Got this just a few days ago. Accidentally bump into a seller online selling this for just RM12! Not needing another new perfume but the price is too hard to resist. Normally a miniature would cost about RM35-RM40 online. And yes it’s original from Sasa HK.

There’s also 2 more new product which I just started using this week which is Urban Decay De Slick Oil-Control Makeup Setting Spray and MAC Brush Cleanser. MAC review is up last Sunday and Urban Decay’s is coming soon which is why I didn’t put up in this post.

Have a great weekend ahead!

Clarins Freebies

Clarins Plant Gold Trial Pack

Just last month (Nov), Clarins Club Beauté members received a postcard introducing the new packaging treatment oils which is now known as The Plant Gold. In the postcard we were told to head down to our home counter to redeem our Plant Gold Trial Pack but unfortunately the stocks shipment to Malaysia is delayed. Last Friday Isetan KLCC counter called up to inform me that the trial pack has arrived. I collected mine last Sunday.

One of the first Clarins signature product was created in 1965 by Jacques Clarins Courtin, Clarins founder. These amazing oils with precious formulas of a subtle blend of essential oils and plant extracts, remain unchanged. Now, with a new bottle and dropper, it ensure your skin receives exactly what it needs, every day for a naturally beautiful skin.

Clarins Face Treatment Oil is
100% pure plant extracts,
100% well being,
0% preservatives.

There is a Clarins oil for every woman, specially designed to rebalance her particular skin type.

What makes Clarins Face Treatment Oils so extraordinary?
Clarins Face Treatment Oils are not just based on plants—they are the plants themselves. Each plant ingredient has its own action, benefit and nourishing vitamin that delivers a specific beauty result.

These mood-lifting oils are highly aromatic, without containing artificial fragrances or colorants. They are naturally anti-bacterial, without the addition of any chemical substances.

Why should every woman use a Clarins Face Treatment Oil?
Most women use synthetic products which means that day after day, their skin—which is a living organ—never comes into contact with anything natural. Clarins Face Treatment Oils are natural, light, pure plant and flower extracts—providing skin with the authentic and powerful beauty virtues inherent in nature.

What are the cosmetic properties of hazelnut plant oil?
Clarins oils are comprised of 2-4% essential oils (the optimal percentage to ensure a highly effective action and good tolerance) combined with hazelnut oil.

Hazelnut oil:
• Protects against dehydration
• Balances sebum production
• Purifies the epidermis
• Promotes softness and suppleness
• Leaves no oily residue
• Contains anti-oxidant vitamin E

What are the properties of essential oils?
Essential oils have a profound action on the whole body. Besides helping to boost your immunity and rebalance the functions of your organs, most essential oils destroy germs and viruses.

They contain a number of plant ingredients each with its own action, benefits and specific vitamins which are required to deliver the desired beauty result.

Plant Gold Trial Pack comes in a neat, hard packaging. Luxurious for a trial pack.

Clarins Plant Gold 3-Pc Trial Pack

There’s one type for every women. Comes in 3 different type namely Blue Orchid Face Treatment Oil for Dehydrated Skin,  Santal Face Treatment Oil for Dry Skin And/Or Redness and last but not least Lotus Face Treatment Oil for Combination/Oily Skin.

Types of face treatment oil description on the back of the box.

The pack I received is for Combination/Oily Skin which is the Lotus Face Treatment Oil pack.

Lotus Face Treatment Oil trial pack comes with 3 pieces of sample product; Toning Lotion With Iris 10ml, Lotus Face Treatment Oil 2ml and Pure and Radiant Mask With Pink Clay 5ml.

Methods of application inside the box.

How to use this 3-pc trial pack? Simple. There’s 2 ways.

Toning Lotion + Oil + Mask

Clarins Review: Skin Care Skin Care - Whitening

Review: Clarins White Plus HP All Spots Whitening Corrector

Update 17th Dec 2011 – Fennie suggested to roll the serum on the back of the hand and use a clean finger to apply and pat on the face for hygiene purposes. Why I never thought of that!

Back in September during my second birthday purchase, I picked up Clarins White Plus HP All Spots Whitening Corrector 7ml for RM195 for my acne scar. I’ve been using it day and night for 2 months now and it’s finishing soon so I think it’s time to do a review on it. It’s very pricey but if it works why not. Read on to find out if this is worth to purchase or it’s just another blah product.

Clarins White Plus HP All Spots Whitening Corrector is one of many products in their newly revamped line earlier this year. Why do I say revamped? That is because White Plus HP is now enriched with Sea Lily!

What is Sea Lily & where is it originated?

Sea Lily a clean extraction process
Sea Lily extract comes from flowers specially grown for Clarins in Brittany. It is obtained using a « clean » extraction method, without chemical solvents, by maceration of the aerial parts of the sea lily in water.

Besides Sea Lily, the other ingredients are:
Sea Lily: limits the extension of dendrites.
Alchemilla: limits the transfer of melanin towards the epidermis.
Raspberry, highly stable vitamin C, biotin: brighten, prevent dark spots.
Salicylic acid: fades dark spots.
Tannins from alchemilla: reduce sebum secretion, tighten pores.
Meadowsweet: purifies the skin.

Clarins White Plus HP All Spots Whitening Corrector 7ml – RM195

This item comes with a portable roll-on head. I was advised to roll-on to the acne scar after cleansing, toning and eye care. Gently pat till it’s fully absorbed.

One thing I need to say about this product is that you need to be very very patient and hardworking. Although this serum’s ingredient is more rich, that doesn’t mean your scar will go away in a few application or days. It really do take some time for it to work. New scar fade faster than old scar. So normally I start rolling this onto my fading pimple so that it will not give me a scar.

So does this work? YES!! I can see my new scar fading very quickly and old scar is slowly fading and I’m quite pleased with it the result.

Pros:
1) Fade new & old acne scar.
2) Comes with handbag-portable roll-on for easy application.
3) Although it’s just 7ml, it does last long.
4) Quickly absorbed.

Cons:
Pricey for a 7ml!

I’m gonna repurchase this in 2 weeks time as there’s a special Christmas promo at Jusco One Utama 😉
