I have been enjoying my Laura Mercier Joie de Vivre products so much so that I have totally forgotten to tell you about it . I was thinking to review the lipstick first but suddenly yesterday I wanted to talk about the Colour Powder For Cheeks & Eyes. Then, as I was typing my review away, I decided to lump both products into one lol. Like a friend said – redirect the heart. And I redirected twice!

This beautiful Laura Mercier parcel arrived unexpectedly from KENS Apothecary. I’m always grateful to them for letting me try their products without any commitment. Joie de Vivre is Laura Mercier’s Spring 2017 color collection. The entire collection consists of one Colour Powder For Cheeks & Eyes, three Velour Lovers Lip Colour, three Lip Pencil, one Tightlight Cake Eyeliner, and one Extra Lash Sculpting Mascara. Joie de Vivre makeup collection evolves around the idea of bringing the natural color in your skin for a healthy and youthful glow.

Joie de Vivre Colour Powder For Cheeks & Eyes in Windflush

Joie de Vivre Colour Powder For Cheeks & Eyes is a multi-purpose baked powder that is said to be universally flattering. This, I find it to be true. Well, that was not what I think at first try but after using it for several times, I finally get it to work with my typical makeup do. At first glance, it looked like a baked bronzer. I would be jumping up and down if it was. However I am not disappointed at all. The warmth of Windflush, the shade for the Joie de Vivre collection is absolutely beautiful. I have to be careful with the contouring I do if I want to use this blush for the day. That is because the shade on my skin is close to bronzer. So if I am heavy handed with my bronzer as contour and then apply this as a blush, I may look like I have a big blob across my cheek. I like that I can use the warmth of Windflush to top up on my contour. It goes on the skin looking a little peachy but warm. I love this kind of shade especially as crease shade. Yes, I do use it as eyeshadow too. The powder is very light-weight so a heavy swirl of the brush is needed. I don’t see a lot of fallout, which is good as the powder is really baked.

The packaging of Joie de Vivre are kept simple and it has cute writing on it. The shiny surface do leave fingerprints all over it. You know how crazy I go when I see fingerprints but I always clean up all my makeup after each use so in the end it doesn’t bother me

This is how Joie de Vivre Colour Powder For Cheeks & Eyes in Windflush shade looks like on me. I didn’t do a hand swatch because it doesn’t show up on the back of my hand. As I said, the powder is very light-weight. You have to really get your brush on the pan to pick up more products. I like how the payoff looks natural as a blush. Almost blended in by itself with my contour shade.

I didn’t see this on KENS Apothecary website now. It may be sold out but if you are interested, do check it out at their stores to see if they still have it.

Joie de Vivre Velour Lovers Lip Colour (RM129 / 3.6g)

I kept both of the Joie de Vivre Velour Lovers Lip Colour for the longest time ever because I thought they are some creamy or glossy lipstick and if you know me well enough, you will know that I like matte lipstick. Until one day I had an itch to open a new lipstick to use and I had been thinking about these lipstick so I took the shade Joy to use. OH MY GOD. I literally had a shock of my life as these goes on matte! It’s kinda hard to get the color on my lips so I took the box to read. Duh Fiona!

It turns out these Velour Lovers Lip Colour are matte metallic lipstick! I had a lot of matte lipstick but not metallic. So I was kinda excited. As you know, metallic lip product is kinda in the trend now. It turns out Laura Mercier is up to the trend too.

These lipsticks are like a peekaboo. It looked dry from the bullet itself, it goes on the lip hard and dry thanks to the metallic in it but it is not drying at all. Like seriously not even a bit drying. I like that I don’t feel any lip product on my lips. It lasts on me the entire day, all through food and drinks. No touch up needed at all as the lipstick doesn’t wears off from the lips entirely. Whenever I had the shade Joy on me, everyone will ask me what lipstick I’m using. It’s really flattering.

It has a buildable pigmentation. When you apply a few times, it become a full on full coverage lipstick. I read from Laura Mercier website that this lipstick has mattifying powders with moisturizing mango butter combination that enables a matte finish that doesn’t dry the lips. My favourite colour? Joy of course! It has a purplish shade to it and you know I like purple

I find that both shade Joy and Happy are almost similar. I hardly could tell them apart on the lips! But the swatches are clear. Joy has pink tone, while Happy is a straight on red.

Excuse me while I continue my “joy of living” using the Laura Mercier Joie de Vivre Spring 2017 colour collection

Every year, Caudalie Grape Water released a limited edition packaging and the time has come for this year’s new limited edition packaging of the brand’s cult product and worldwide bestseller. The price of RM35 for a cool 75ml bottle is not that expensive really. For a cult brand that only uses grape water that is hard to source for and could be limited availability in the market from various reasons such as weather, I say buy them whenever you see it. I grabbed a bottle everytime the limited edition bottle launched and when Sephora is having 20% sale . That’s when I stock up Caudalie Grape Water! The limited edition packaging this year is similar to last year, only cuter. It has pink grapes painted in watercolour design to align with the line’s freshness and moisturising power.

Grape Water is made from 100% organic Grape water, absolutely preservative-free and fragrance-free. It is a ultra-fine face mist that soothes, refreshes and moisturises any skin type at all, yes even the most sensitive skin. It is a product that is suitable to be used any time, any day, at occassion, anywhere at all and most importantly, instantly absorbed into the skin within seconds.

Along with the new limited edition packaging release, Caudalie also came out with three worthy skincare set.

Vinosource Pont des Arts Mattifying Fluid Limited Edition Set (RM159)

Vinosource Eiffel Tower Moisturizing Sorbet Limited Edition Set (RM159)

Vinosource Bordeaux S.O.S Thirst Quenching Serum Limited Edition Set (RM189)

The Caudalie Grape Water complete your skincare routine

The Founder of Caudalie, Mathilde Thomas is also an author and her book The French Beauty Solution, which I was also kindly gifted by KENS Apothecary from the event.

We were also given a box of grapes to try Mathilde’s famous 3-Day Grape Cleanse, as featured on her book. Would you want me to share a few French beauty tip from the book in the coming post? I can pick a few if you are interested

I love quirky beauty products. I bet all girls do. That’s what makes them buy it! Sometimes you thought you’ve seen it all, used it all, then something quirkier came out and it blew your mind. This was what makes my eye balls popped out of the socket several months ago. I first saw this new Dr. Brand Magnetight Skin Recharging Magnet Mask from Tati of Glam Life Guru channel. I quickly went on Kensapothecary website to see if we have it here in Malaysia and most importantly the price but to only find out that we do not have it. Yet. Fast forward to a month or two ago, we can finally buy Magnetight mask.

I have the mask for quite some time now. I did a quick Insta Stories first impression, literally bringing you along as I unbox and apply the mask for the first time, and many of you DM-ed me saying you saw a significant smoother and brighter skin as soon as I removed the mask. I promised an Insta Video and that took me a while to post up because my eczema on the forehead is having too much fun. It would be so weird to see a red patch on the forehead hehe. If you missed the video, you can check it out here.

Dr. Brand Magnetight Skin Recharging Magnet Mask comes in a hefty square tub. I for one is not someone who read instruction before using any skincare so I really do appreciate the box that has a 3-piece top, which I need to flip open one by one in order to get the tub out. Each piece are printed with a step by step how-to-use instruction. It was pretty handy for me. I already know this is a magnet mask that comes with a piece of magnet for removal so I was searching high and low for that piece of magnet only to find it sticking tightly on the bottom of the tub. How genius!

I received quite a lot of enquiry on what does the mask do. Basically everyone is curious as to its function so to speak. It is defined as age-defying mask therefore I am just going to classified this as an anti-aging mask. It claimed to dramatically transforming the skin appearance by harnessing the power of attraction. Hence the magnetic mask gimmick. It is also said that the magnetic properties in the mask has iron based formula that is able to help in reducing signs of aging and to destress the skin, transforming the skin into a more energized looking skin. Now, that’s not too much to digest isn’t it

It is a magnetic mask afterall so the product comes in a dark grey shade. It has a smell to it. Scent is kinda personal so I apologize if you’re smelling something different than what my nose picked up. I do smell that metal-y scent, only more pleasant. However it is quite strong. You will smell this on your face for the next 10-minutes you have the mask on and after that as well.

The whole package also include a plastic spatula. It does a fine job in scooping the product out of the tub. I was supposed to be applying the mask on my face using the same spatula but I find that it doesn’t give me a smooth application as how I like it to be. Sometimes, well most of the time a thick application *giggles*.

Magnetight Skin Recharging Magnet Mask is thick and creamy. What I like about the mask is that it doesn’t dries down to a harden mask. So I can take my sweet time applying and smoothing out the mask. Application is a breeze now that I have a proper face mask brush application haha! I usually have the mask on and start working on my laptop. By the time I know it, it’s time to remove the mask. That my friend, is the most exciting part about the mask!

Remember that triangle piece of magnet included, wrap that magnet with a piece of tissue paper and start “gliding” it all over the surface of the skin. No pressure needed AT ALL. The magnet will work it’s magic. What I like to do is to watch the mask lifted from the skin to the tissue paper effortlessly. However, this process is also the messiest task despite being the most fun and interesting one. You will need to replace the tissue every now and then as the magnet will not be as powerful as the beginning when the mask are all piled up on the magnet. All I do is to flip the tissue around. Sounds easy right? Not! Even removing the tissue from the magnet is a challenging job. The mask residue are stuck tightly on the tissue. You will need a little bit of force to rip it off from the magnet. Most of the time the mask residue will get onto the magnet. Needless to say removing that residue from the piece of magnet is even more challenging lol!! But fret not. Once you get the hang of it, it will be an easy job. I have been using this mask for several times now and it’s been good so far.

Once you’ve done the fun part of removing the mask from your face, just massage in the remaining product into the skin. This is why I mentioned that you will smell the metal-y mask scent even after removal. I have to tell you that there will be a layer of oil on the skin, which is what you don’t rinse off but massage in. Yes it is a little bit oily so what I like to do is to use a clean piece of tissue paper, wrap around the magnet and run all over my face to remove most of the residue. Even though so there will still be a little bit of oil left on the skin, which I did not mind at all as my face are significantly smoother and brighter. Does the effect last? Yes for me. The entire day in fact
