Clarins Review: Skin Care Skin Care - Toner

Review: Clarins Toning Lotion With Iris

Happy Saturday everyone!

This week’s Clarins product review would be a basic product that all of us everytime after we washed our face. The product I’m gonna talk about today is none other than Clarins Toning Lotion With Iris.

There is 3 types of Toning Lotion namely Toning Lotion With Iris for combination or oily skin type, Toning Lotion With Camomile for normal or dry skin type and Extra Comfort Toning Lotion for dry and sensitized skin. I’m combination skin type so I’m using Toning Lotion With Iris which is the green toner!

Just like Clarins Cleansing Milk With Gentian, I own a few sizes of these babies. There’s 50ml, 100ml (no longer available) and 200ml which is the retail size.

Clarins Toning Lotion With Iris 200ml – RM90

This is certainly not a love at first sight toner for my case. The first time I sniff it I hated it. Poor Fennie had to changed the toner to White Plus HP toner which is more gentle on my nose. I can’t remember when is it that I took another sniff and it smelled so nice! It must be that during the first sniff I was having my monthly period that everything smells yucky to me LOL!!

The cap is screw-on type with a quite large opening for the toner to be dispensed onto cotton pad. The bottle is not slipper and stay firmly on my palm whenever I’m using it.

Normally I’d just tilt the bottle 2 times and it’s ready to be sweep onto my face.

Here’s some info from Clarins Malaysia website.

Beauty Benefits
Witch hazel, Sage and Aloe Vera in a refreshing toner that promotes well-being for the skin.

This alcohol-free lotion gently removes all traces of Cleansing Milk and stimulates and refreshes the skin while respecting its natural pH and moisture level. The skin is perfectly clean and ready for skin care products to be applied.

Application
Apply after Cleansing Milk. Dampen two small cotton pads with Toning Lotion and lightly sweep over the face, around the eyes and over the neck. Blot dry with a tissue.

Ingredients
-Bioecolia: preserves the skin’s natural balance.
-Witch Hazel: astringent, purifies, refreshes.
-Aloe: softens, moisturizes.

Here’s what I think of the toner.

Pros:
1) Huge bottle. Can really last for months with 2 application per day.
2) Smells good. In fact all Clarins product smells good!
3) Remove traces of makeup (if any).
4) Face feel very clean and fresh after application.

Cons:
I can’t find any!

Clarins We Care 2011 Friends of the Earth Pencil Case

Selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha to all Muslim readers! Happy holiday!

Yes. It’s a long weekend for all of us in Malaysia. I was on leave since Friday thus I’m having 4 days off. Was planning to go KLCC in the morning to check out some magazines but diverted my plan to One Utama as I needed to register for U Mobile broadband to replace the stupidslowuselessexpensivelagging DiGi broadband. I thought I could chat with Fennie abit, do some eyeshadow swatches, check out the Christmas sets and buy some We Care 2011 pencil case but she’s on leave.

Anyway I make a purchase of half dozen of Clarins We Care 2011 Friends of the Earth Pencil Case as some friends wanted it as well. You might or might not aware that I’m also helping Clarins to sell the pencil case too (read here) so the bulk purchase will be in stages.

You’d rarely see my photo here so here’s one LOL!!! Just for the good cause :). My friend in FB just commented that I looked miserable hahaha. I tried not to smile too widely cause there’s a photo where I was happily smiling and someone said I looked different and ask me WHAT’S WRONG. Sigh. . . not smiling also cannot, smile also cannot.

Here’s me posing with the super cute Friends of the Earth pencil case.

Friends of the Earth pencil case measures at 17.5cm width across with 8.5cm height. The zipper pull comes with a cute red heart with “Clarins We Care” stamped on it. There’s a green cloth lining inside and piping is done as well. No worries on sloppy case as this is not. The case is made from recycling materials and imprinted with adorable animals motifs, aims to encourage children on importance of recycling and saving the environment which includes saving electricity and water, reducing the usage of consumable materials.

The eco message reflecting the 3 pillars imprinted on the pencil case set as a reminder for them on practicing the 3Rs lifestyle on a daily basis. Each animal representing one of the topical pillars; Tiger: Electricity, Orang utan: Consumable materials, Elephant: Water.

Make a change. Make a better world.

Let us come together and make a difference in the lives of these underprivileged children by supporting this charitable campaign.

Clarins Make Up - Remover

Review: Clarins Cleansing Milk With Gentian

I have been using Clarins Cleansing Milk With Gentian since May 2011 as daily makeup remover and I’ve been liking it since then. I finished a 400ml jumbo bottle last month and I’m now using the 200ml bottle which I think is going to finish soon :). Time for a review!

I own Clarins Cleansing Milk With Gentian in 3 different sizes; 50ml, 200ml and 400ml. Still searching for the 100ml to complete my collection LOL!!!

Deluxe sample size 50ml | Retail size 200ml RM95 | Limited Edition Jumbo size 400ml

Beauty Benefits
A velvety light textured emulsion in cool white, with a fresh natural fragrance and a similar pH to the skin. It leaves skin thoroughly cleansed and calmed.

Gently cleanses and removes all makeup and impurities, to leave skin looking clear, pure and luminous while preserving the skin’s hydrolipidic film.

Active Ingredients
-Bioecolia: preserves the skin’s balance.
-Hydrophilic oils: cleanse.
-Vitamins A and E: improve skin quality.
-Gentian: tone, healing properties.
-Iris, Hawthorn: decongest, astringent, normalize, bacteriostatic.

The question is how to use this cleansing milk? As you might aware from most of my Clarins review, Clarins do not recommend swiping method which could pull you skin elasticity away! The correct way to use this is as simple as ABC. It is called Clarins gentle cleansing method. To increase effectiveness and prevent over-stimulation, Clarins recommends the following technique: Place hands flat, without pressing, over the entire face and then lift briskly away to create a suction effect. This literally draws out and lifts make-up and grime as gently as possible. Repeat this movement five or six times, then rinse skin thoroughly with tepid water.

Still a bit blurry? Here’s a simple pictorial.

I smudge some BB cream on the back of my hand. I applied more so that you can see clearly when the cleansing milk breaks down the BB cream.
As it’s just a small portion on the back of my hand, I use reasonable amount of cleansing milk. For the whole face, you need at least a 1cm height of a 50cent amount.
  First, place hands flat, without pressing, over the entire face. This is when all the cleansing milk is on your face.
  Then lift briskly away to create a suction effect starting from the middle of your face to the outer corner of your face. Don’t forget your forehead and chin. For the whole face do at least 5 to 6 times until the cleansing milk emulsify the makeup! When the cleansing milk disappear a bit and the color changes, that means you’ve cleaned your makeup off. Rinse with water. For me I’d wash my face again with a cleansing foam and scrub once every 2 days.

The result? Soft, bright and clean face from makeup! I find this cleansing milk very effective in removing all my makeup as I don’t see any traces on the cotton pad when I tone my face with toner.

All clean!

Pros:
1) Clean all makeup and leave no traces.
2) Face is more soft and bright after using.
3) Doesn’t leave the skin tight after using.
4) Love the scent.
5) One bottle last quite long too.

Cons:
1) Need to wash face with cleansing foam after using as this could be a bit oily even after removing. Perhaps this is cream-based. I have no problem with washing face after that as that is the correct way to go.
