Clarins September 2013 Haul – Birthday Haul & The Last Haul For 2013

This haul post is for you that has been wondering why is there no more Clarins haul from me. Not that I don’t use or buy anymore. I do. I’m just saving it for September month because I can buy lesser since I am getting double points for the whole of my birthday month. Basically I just choose what product I want to redeem from October redemption catalogue, calculate the points and top up the balance with purchase.

This is what I came home with – my Clarins September 2013 haul which is also my pre-birthday haul and the last haul for 2013. I nearly didn’t make it to the mall as I was so busy lately. I met up with fellow blogger friend Jerine for a breakfast at Dome, rushed to Metrojaya Mid Valley and rushed back home to see my naughty boy.

All The Stress Calls For A Sunday Retail Therapy

Sorry for the lack of update in the blog and Facebook recently. I am in the midst of buying a new car and selling off my current car all by myself which explains the mood swing, headache and chaos. It doesn’t help when JPJ changed all the buying and selling law again and again. All this is taking lots of my time. I hardly have time to sit down, what more photograph products and blog. Work on the other hand is not running as smoothly as I expected it to be. I have launched a new interactive automotive magazine app a few months ago and getting all the conventional car manufacturer to buy the totally new idea is really really tough. My bosses need to see profit right away and the reality is it won’t be that soon. I’m giving myself another two more months time and if all fails I will give in my resignation. Oh well. Life sucks at times. All this is so stressful and tough that I wanted to cry most of the time. I didn’t realized it’s that stress until I pull out one strand of white baby hair each day for the past few days. I don’t have any mood to even shop but this weekend I took time off from everything and drove out for a short shopping trip. Retail therapy is the best therapy of all time 🙂

Here’s what I came home with. I drove to two malls yesterday. Pavilion and KLCC.

Budget - Skin Care Budget Buy Clarins Review: Skin Care Skin Care - Cleanser Uriage

Review: Uriage Hyséac Gentle Cleansing Gel, The Closest Dupe To My Favorite Cleansing Gel

Rather than my usual 1,000 to 2,000 words review, I’m going to keep this post short. I have people telling me that my product reviews are too detail which I can’t help but to raise an eyebrow. Aren’t review suppose to be in detail? Would you prefer to read half way cause I hate reading a review that are incomplete with just a few pictures that I need to google for another review. Well anyway everyone review differently. Like it or not I like mine to be IN DETAIL lol 😀

Anyway back to the cleansing gel. How I discover this Uriage Hyséac Gentle Cleansing Gel was quite funny. I had this from MIVVA March 2013 edition which means I’ve been keeping it for a few months. I keep a few cleanser near the sink and a few more in the bathroom. One of the cleanser near the sink ran out so I took Uriage Hyséac Gentle Cleansing Gel out from the storage to use. After that I took a short nap. I woke up a few hours later with my eye still closed, walked to the sink to wash my face with Uriage Hyséac Gentle Cleansing Gel. At that time I have a tube of Clarins Purifying Cleansing Gel near the sink as my morning cleanser. Half way through the cleansing I stopped, open one eye to check if I got the right cleansing gel. It was Uriage one alright but how come it smells like Clarins? I stoned in front of the sink, with cleanser and hands on my face for a few minutes before I took another sniff of the cleanser. That is when I realized I found the exact dupe version of the now extinct Clarins Purifying Cleansing Gel. Well maybe not 100% but 98% 😀

Clarins Review: Skin Care Skin Care - Scrubs

Review: Clarins Gentle Refiner Exfoliating Cream With Microbeads is One Harsh Scrub But Gentle On The Skin And I Like The Way It Is

If you are facing congested pores, excess oil secretion and large pores issue like what I had you might want to start implementing facial scrub into your cleansing regime. Facial scrub is one of a must-have product that I don’t mind stocking up. Currently I’m rotating between 4 different type of scrub and I’m not shy to admit that I scrub my face on every alternate days. Some of you might think I’m over-scrubbing my face. For normal skin type yes, as for me it’s not too much at all because of my congested skin condition.

It is not a surprise that Clarins is still one of the skin care that I am still using till to date although I haven’t been reviewing their product much nowadays. That’s because I’ve reviewed most of the Clarins that I have on hand. As I’ve gone through 2 tubes of Gentle Refiner Exfoliating Cream With Microbeads it struck me one day that I had totally forgotten to review this. I guess it’s never too late since this is not seasonal or limited edition item within the brand. It’s permanent don’t worry 🙂

Clarins went through a packaging revamp phase back in 2011. This last tube that I had in my stash is the new packaging. Absolutely love the new look and packaging. The signature white interface with red wording is still maintained as it has been Clarins signature for so many years.

Review: Clarins UV Plus HP Perfecting Cream High Protection BB Cream SPF40; 100% Mineral with Anti-UVA, Anti-UVB, Anti-Oxidant and Anti-Pollution

“Clarins coming out with BB Cream? Serious?” That was my impression when I first got to know that Clarins now join in the BB Cream fun. Why now? Why not CC Cream? This were the questions I asked Erinn Tan; Clarins Beauty Trainer a few weeks ago during the preview session of White Plus Total Luminescent and UV Plus HP BB Cream. According to Erinn, only now Clarins came out with BB Cream because of the market demand from consumers. Erinn added that Clarins is not a trend follower brand. Although the market now tilted towards the CC Cream revolution, Clarins refuse to follow that trend to come out with a CC Cream. But rest assured that Clarins UV Plus HP BB Cream utilizes CC Cream technology. Good to know that.

Let me give you a crash course on Clarins’ UV Plus HP Day Screen High Protection range. The new revamped version of UV Plus HP Day Screen High Protection is formulated with a unique antioxidant action thanks to an exceptional Cantaloupe Melon extract. Cantaloupe Melon is a natural fruit with valuable high-performance antioxidant benefits, from the region of Provence in France. It has the natural wealth of antioxidants which delivers great anti-aging benefits. It’s so great that Clarins use cantaloupe melon extract as the key ingredient for the new UV Plus Day Screen High Protection SPF40. As a result? Skin remains fair, clear and youthful. GMO-free and non-hybrid, this variety is organically-framed and when compared with other types of melon, presents remarkable anti-ageing benefits.

In 2011 Clarins revamped their sunscreen and came out with 2 version – Neutral and Tinted. Then in 2012 Clarins released another version to the family – Beige. And in 2013…Perfecting Cream High Protection BB Cream was born.

Clarins Reformulated Their Whitening Range to White Plus Total Luminescent and Released UV Plus HP Perfecting Cream High Protection BB Cream too!

Those of you that follow the trend of skin care would already know that February to March is what I called the “whitening olympic” month whereas various brand are releasing a brand new whitening range or revamping the current range. No matter it’s a new release, revamp or focus range…Clarins is never left alone. Last year Clarins released one new whitening product that comes in 2 variant namely White Plus HP Whitening Velvet Emulsion SPF20 and Whitening Velvet Emulsion.

This year is the year that Clarins refers as A New Era In Whitening whereas they revamped the whole White Plus HP range to White Plus Total Luminescent except for Whitening Repairing Night Cream.

CLARINS WHITE PLUS TOTAL LUMINESCENT 

What makes this new White Plus Total Luminescent different from the previous White Plus HP range is that Clarins has for the first time identified millions of natural, reflecting properties known as “micro-mirrors” within every layer of the skin which pretty much concluded that the skin is very much similar to a mirror. Total luminescence of Asian skin can be enhanced with the usage of White Plus Total Luminescent range. It works by reviving all the skin’s micro-mirrors for a fair, translucent, more even and luminescent skin.
