Antipodes Event

NEW! Antipodes Scientific Natural Makeup™ Collection That Uses Ecocert Certified Natural Bismuth Oxychloride To Ensure Smoother Application

Antipodes® has always known to be a scientific organic skin care brand and that is also how I remember Antipodes to be. That was all changed two weeks ago when TNS Skin Lab, a leading specialist retailer of premium natural and organic beauty & personal care products who is also the exclusive retailer for Antipodes here in Malaysia launched the all-natural mineral makeup collection.

Since I’m new to Antipodes, allow me to do a short brand introduction on the brand 🙂

Do you know that Antipodes is a global scientific organic beauty brand that aspires to Estee Lauder’s family business values and it is owned by Wellingtonian, Elizabeth Barbalich? Now you know :D. I was always curious on the word “scientific” that is attached to the brand name. I found out that each formula is scientifically validated which explains the scientific part. All of the premium ingredients are sourced from none other than New Zealand’s nature. Each and every product has it’s own exotic scent. It’s quite interesting I would say as the brand invest in expertise of “The French Nose” on earlier days to determine the fragrance across each range.

Antipodes has been around since 2006. That was 7 years ago and now the brand has developed a total of 26 skin care products, five natural mineral foundations and six lipsticks. Besides it’s native New Zealand, Antipodes has also bloomed and expanded to countries like Malaysia, Australia, France, Slovenia, Canada, Italy, UK, Taiwan and South Korea. It’s range of product is also available at international independent retailers such as Whole Foods Market, Selfridges Department Store UK, Sephora, Planet Organic, David Jones, MYER, Fenwick and ASOS (Saviour Skin Balm only).

Charity Clarins Event Sulwhasoo

Beauty For A Good Cause: Sulwhasoo “Hundred Charity Quilt Kit” and Clarins FEED 10 Purse

Yesterday morning I took the day off from the laptop and drove to Pavilion to meet up with Kamsiah for some beauty shopping trip. The main agenda is of course the Clarins Facebook Gathering. I’ve been to the very first Clarins gathering 2 years ago at The Gardens Mall and it was loads of fun as it’s my first and Clarins’ first time having such gathering too :D. Subsequently Clarins did held a few Facebook Fans Gathering but I didn’t go. I wasn’t even aware there’s a gathering this time round so I got to thank Kamsiah for letting me know :D. I missed quite a lot of things in Facebook lately as I was too busy to stalk beauty brands 🙁

So. I had the itch to shop but wouldn’t want to add stress to my already large beauty stash so I only have a mission – to only buy charity kits. Here’s what I came home with.

Event Revlon

Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Range: Classic Lip Color With A Modern Twist, Now Comes In 8 New Shades

Recently I have been busy with work, the stress, deadlines, selling my old car and buying a new car so I have been rejecting events and product reviews continuously. When MIVVA invited me for an exclusive Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick launch, I RSVP-ed myself. It was about time I come out of hiding and mingle with my fellow blogger friends.

One of the event highlight that I was hyped up on is lipstick making. It’s like cooking but instead of food we are to be “cooking” our own lipstick! Unfortunately due to the space constrain, the plan was aborted :(. Let’s hope Revlon will look into another session of lipstick making 😉

I’m always happy whenever there’s tons of makeup products in front of me. Not only we are curious with the products in front of us, we also check out what others have.

Corine de Farme Event

NEW! Corine de Farme, French Skin Care Brand That Respect Your Skin Naturally

There is something about a French brand that intrigues beautyholics very much. Maybe because the French are well-known to produce high quality and effective beauty products? I believe they are as French beauty products are usually on the high price side.

Well all that perception is about to be changed as a new French brand had just entered Malaysia recently. That brand is Corine de Farme.

Corine De Farme1
Corine de Farme is a brand owned by an independent French Group, Sarbec Cosmetics. The history of the brand started since more than 40 years ago. The company was operated as an eco-conscious company and pretty much committed to R&D with internalized R&D laboratory headed by Dr Aude Barre, formulated under the Pharmaceutical Control and tested under dermatological and ophtalmologic control condition. The company and brand is constantly vigilance on reducing their carbon footprint to reduce industry pollution to the eco-system.

Event Kiehl's

NEW! Kiehl’s Super Multi-Corrective Cream Correct Multiple Key Signs of Aging In Just 2 Weeks & 4 Weeks For Double The Effect!

Kiehl’s is a brand that I have not put a foot in before. I did however went for 2012’s Save Our Rare Earth (SORE) event which was a big deal for me as (1) it was my first Kiehl’s event and (2) I support charity whenever I can. I bet you can already imagine the excitement in me when I was contacted once again by Kiehl’s Malaysia for an introduction session of their new anti-aging cream follow by a hi-tea session. What’s coincident is that I was beginning to wonder what’s the SORE activity this year as I remember they will have it on November every year. Are they going for tree planting again? Are they going to roam the muddy village while it rains? I’m excited already! :D. If it is, please please pleasseeee remind me not to bring un-supportive friend along lol!

So back to the magic cream – Kiehl’s Super Multi-Corrective Cream.

Kiehl's Super Multi-Corrective Cream1
I have stepped into Kiehl’s store numerous times before but this time I managed to take my sweet time with browsing and understanding the huge array of products. Actually the product range and type is still acceptable for me. Maybe because the product display is compact and neat so it gave me a perception of a huge array. Don’t worry, it’s not :D. It’s pretty easy and simple when it comes to Kiehl’s.

Event Shiseido

Shiseido 2013 Autumn/Winter New Makeup: Sheer and Perfect Foundation Cancel Color Noise for a Smoother, Even Skin

Shiseido Malaysia had just released a series of new makeup item as well as additional shades to the current collection for its 2013 Autumn/Winter look and collection just less than 2 weeks ago. For 2013 Autumn/Winter, we have a new base makeup added into the array of existing base makeup collection which is the NEW Sheer and Perfect Foundation SPF 15.

 

Sheer and Perfect Foundation SPF 15 ( RM135/30ml)

I never knew this before but according to Shiseido, our skin’s smoothness and evenness can be interrupted by color noise. Just like a camera, you can cancel these so-called color noise with the new Sheer and Perfect Foundation. This is because of Shiseido’s advanced light technology in it that selectively cancels the interference without concealing skin’s beauty. As a result skin is more even with all the red acne scars, brown undereye circles and black pore shadows neutralized and also skin is more smooth, fresh and glow.
