Mon Chéri, a French-inspired skincare company has already built a name for themselves when it comes to skincare offerings. Now, Mon Chéri has launched a complete cosmetic line named Collection De Bouquet and this completes its existing Petal CC Cover and Lumiere Complexion & Pore Refiner, which was launched in February 2017 as a whole complete cosmetic range.

The entire cosmetic line has 13 products in total, 11 which was newly added into the Collection De Bouquet line. Packaging wise in my personal preference is absolutely beautiful and aptly done according to the brand’s identity and theme. It features white and champagne gold packaging with Mon Chéri signature flower decorated all over to complete the look of elegance and luxury.

Glowing and Matte Lipstick (RM75)

The show-stopper is the lipstick range – Glowing Lipstick and Matte Lipstick. A total of 17 colors were launched all together, with 5 color selections (rose pink, coral, peach orange, rose red) to choose from. There are two texture and formulation as well – G, which I asssumed stands for Glowing aka cream lipstick and M, which stands for matte lipstick. It has all the usual goodness ingredients such as Vitamin E, Shea Butter, Plum Seed Oil and 3 antioxidiant ingredients. The matte lipstick are not a full on matte but a velvet-like rich matte with satin effect. The shades offering are not that huge with just 5 shades available. All 17 Glowing and 5 Matte lipstick are absolutely beautiful!

Chameleon Lipbalm (RM75)

Now, this one I like! The tinted, color-changing lipbalm. This lipbalm doesn’t need much introduction. It changes color according to body temperature and lip color. Ingredients in the lipbalm are equally good too – Vitamin E, Shea Butter and Olive Oil. Similar to their lipstick except for the change in Olive Oil.

Foundation (RM149)

Featuring Shine Fit Technology to enables the foundation to add a layer of luster to the skin to soften the look, Mon Chéri Foundation is a thin and lightweight foundation that claims to leave zero-burden and non-sticky texture on the skin. However, darker skin girls would need to bear with the limitation shades at the moment as there are just 3 shades available at the moment.

Compact Powder (RM125)

I love compact powder to set my foundation, but it has to be a thin coverage type so that I don’t add extra product onto the foundation. This Compact Powder from Mon Chéri is just that. This powder helps to rectify uneven skin tone and brighten dull complexion. With that, this does has a little bit of coverage. The finishing is matte, just as any other compact powder. It also comes with a puff too.

Loose Powder (RM96)

This Loose Powder gives me flashback to those days where sponge-top packaging are in trend. If you are a loose powder fan but dislike the dusty mess it gives like I do, this is your answer to that problem. The loose powder gives a soft and comfortable finishing, hence protecting the skin against dehydration. Perfect for those who dislike matte powder. The powder also absorb any excess oil, leaving you with a fresh look throughout the day. It has a somewhat soft touch effect therefore minimizes the appearance of large pores and fine lines.

Concealer (RM96)

You can now go for one concealer for the under eyes and spot concealing with this Concealer. Featuring a unique Perfecting Fitting Layer System, the concealer allows pigmentation particles in the cream to cover dark circles and even dark spots.

Blusher (RM80)

I think most people at the launch are attracted to these beautiful marble Blusher. The baked-texture enables a three-dimensional look for the cheeks. It is lightweight as a feather but because it is a baked blusher, the longevity tend to last longer up till the entire day. At the moment only two shades available – Pink Marble and Orange Peach.

Eye Shadow Palette (RM130)

Another item caught my eyes is none other than the Eye Shadow Palette. This quad has different shade depth from highlight to deep outline the eyes. I think you all are already the expert to know what to do with this quad without me even telling you which shade to use on which part of the eyes . It has 3 matte shades and one satin. Quite a versatile palette that suits most people’s preference these days.

Mascara (RM115)

Another item to take note is the Mascara, which has smaller spiral brush. The kind of brush that I like. This brush enables you to achieve that curl and fuller volume effect. It claims not to give any clumps with repeated application.

Water Proof Eyeliner (RM78)

We all need a waterproof eyeliner. All the rain and crying doesn’t help . Comes in two everyday shades – Black and Brown.

There you have it! A full glance into the most exciting launch of the year for Mon Chéri – the Collection De Bouquet cosmetic line. And I’m also happy to announce that Mon Chéri is on board to be our #IWillBeOkay Beauty Bay 2017 Edition sponsor!

Do you remember the time where we get the Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Capsules all the time in our beauty box many years ago? To be honest with you I have no idea what they was and how great they are. I kept them for a bit, they got expired and I threw everything away. Just two days ago, I attended the launch of Elizabeth Arden Advanced Ceramide Capsules Daily Youth Restoring Eye Serum, which I will refer to as Ceramide Eye Capsules in short from now onwards . The actual name is a mouthful LOL.

I am all-in when it comes to eye care. I don’t skip my eye cream because I have really dry under eyes with deep wrinkles . So compared to other people, I go all out on eye care. Having said that, sometimes I do went overboard and stop everything for a while I notice oil seeds forming. Yes, that do happens especially if the eye cream is too rich.

At the event, I learnt what is Ceramide and why the Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Capsules for the face is such a hit product. Our skin has somewhat like brick walls and what is holding these bricks together is something called “ceramide”. And Elizabeth Arden’s Ceramide serum is said to mimic our skin’s ceramide. Now that the Ceramide Eye Capsules are launched, I personally feel that the range is more complete.

Just for the eye serum, Elizabeth Arden used a brand new and improved Ceramide technology has been reimagined for the eyes, which is understandably the most delicate part of the face. Based on the previous 25 years of research, the formula was updated by adding extra 9 new ingredients to replenish essential naturally-occurring lipids and also to assist in supporting the skin’s natural renewal process. As this is an anti-aging product, Ceramide Eye Capsules also target all the key signs of aging. What the serum does is to immediately enhance the skin’s natural barrier by increasing the moisturization on the skin surface and hence reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

One thing good about these rubbery capsules is that they are absolutely biodegradable. These serums are in individual capsules and are meant for one usage only so that every time you use the product, you can be sure of the freshness and concentrated dose of moisture-boosting serum. The new formulation contain Ceramide 1,3, and 6. Ceramide 6 has AHA-like structure and it acts as a barrier renewal for a smoother, softer complexion. Other ingredients are as follow:

Skin Barrier Protection
– Ceramide 1, Ceramide 3, Ceramide 6, Cholesterol, Fatty Acids, Phytosphingosine, and Sea Fennel Extract.

Moisturization
– Botanical Complex Technology and Vitamin E.

Anti-Aging
– Tsubaki Oil, Hops Extract, Butcher’s Broom Extract, Vitamin A Palmitate, and Palmitoyl + Hexapeptide – 14.

I’m extremely intrigued with the new Elizabeth Arden Advanced Ceramide Capsules Daily Youth Restoring Eye Serum. Can’t wait to try

Swiss Line best seller Cell Shock White collection since 7 years ago with the debut of “no whiter white than Cell Shock White”, now has advanced whitening to brightening and clarify. The new concept is to redefine beautiful skin as precious as diamond, as radiating an impeccable healthy glow.

Cell Shock White now has the support of Cellactel 2 White Complex, a component existed in the original Cell Shock White Collection. It is also enhanced with state-of-the-art Diamond Clusters, Syn®-ake Peptide, Spot-Off Complex and HD-White Complex. Why diamond? Besides a girl’s best friend (that’s what I always like to tell the guys LOL), it has extraordinary optical properties. On the skin, diamonds has a ability to alter the quality of light reflection from the skin to achieve an immaculate finish. Swiss Line then disperse micronized real diamonds onto the skin through suspending and trapped diamonds into micro-capsules using interaction of two marine polymers. So when Diamond Clusters are in contact with the skin, it is evenly dispersed. Another ingredient called the Syn®-ake Peptide delivers a non-invasive plumping effect. The muscle-relaxant action of the peptide works by smoothing the expression lines. Smoothen skin surface also support the diamond dispersion found in Cell Shock White.

Those are what triggers pigmentation disorders.

The Star of Cell Shock White – Brightening Diamond Serum (RM888 / 20ml + 20ml)

Now THIS is epic. Love at first try. What Swiss Line did was to DOUBLED THE ACTION of Brightening Diamond Serum with two chambers of different and complementary serums in a bottle. When the two serum are fused, it deliver active formula that targets uneven complexion, dark spots, blemishes and wrinkles. Not only the serum offers the novelty of applying real diamond clusters to the skin, its brightening power can also be boosted when used in unison with other products from the same Cell Shock White range.
