Innisfree is a brand that is conscious about our Mother Earth and they do go all out on living an environmental-friendly lifestyle. Every year, Innisfree’s Eco-Handkerchief Campaign is launched in the month of June in conjunction with World Environment Day. This campaign actually started back in 2010 as an initiative to inspire its global customers to reduce their waste of paper napkins and facial tissues as well as to encourage customers to bring their own bag for shopping at Innisfree by rewarding them with a hankie with a low minimum purchase amount. Last year the design for the hankies evolves around seasonal plant motifs. This year, the designs revolve around the haenyeo, or “sea women,” of Jeju Island as well as the marine life of its waters.
Clarins, together with top 40 “Green Angels”customers ventured out to Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM) on Earth Day to plant 40 fruit trees in an effort to raise awareness and appreciation of our Mother Earth.
The first “Green Angel” campaign for the brand are held at all Clarins Skin Spas from 1st March to 30th April 2016 armed with an aim to encourage their consumers to start recycling. Clarins customers are encouraged to bring back all empty jars, bottles as well as cartons for recycling at the Skin Spas. The top 40 recyclers of “Green Angel” were rewarded and a tree was planted for each of the winner.
On Earth Day, Clarins team together with a few customers had an enjoyable time in FRIM. The day started with a short welcome address by Gillian Tyo, General Manager of Clarins Malaysia & Singapore followed by FRIM and then a 40-minute walk to Taman Bidara trail where the tree planting took place. Right after the tree planting, each winner was presented a tree certificate, as a symbolic gesture to reward their commitment to protect nature; and helping Clarins run a greener operation in Malaysia. The partnership with FRIM was to highlight the importance of nature and helping to enrich additional fruit trees in the tropical forest to maintain the ecosystem of local fauna and at the same time to reduce carbon footprint by planting more trees
Clarins worldwide have always been practising the 3Rs principle – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and now, Replant. From the very beginning, Clarins has based its development on respect for nature as an honour to the principle of extracting the benefits of each plant without harming ecosystems, as well as making a commitment to preserving and reintroducing biodiversity where deforestation, urban construction and extensive farming have destroyed local flora and fauna.
Sulwhasoo as everyone know is a well-known Korean skincare brand. Now the brand takes K-Beauty up a notch with the launch of its K-Beauty Makeup Collection. Korean beauty trend has always been adopting that dewy glow and natural radiance from within. The same concept are instilled in its makeup collection for a no makeup makeup look. However Korean version of no makeup makeup look is different from the US. Sulwhasoo are gravitating more to natural dewy flawless skin with a tinge of radiant colour.
Mamonde, a leading global premium cosmetic brand fully imported from South Korea is scheduled to be launched in Malaysia this coming August 2016 with its first beauty counter in Aeon Bandar Utama. Mamonde will be the latest skincare brand under leading cosmetic company, AmorePacific Malaysia’s umbrella.
The word Mamonde is the french word for My World. It is a beauty brand that offers quite a wide selection of skincare and makeup products. Price are pretty affordable. Let me just warn you. It is priced at the lower price than Laneige. Say between RM6 to RM169?
Mamonde’s skincare uses flowers as its key ingredients formulation. It is the first of its kind in the market for this formulation. Why flowers? It is said that blossoming flower together with its scent and colours naturally emits a inherent vitality and surging energy that is able to change one mood and calms the heart. Therefore an intensive research and development was done at AmorePacific Research Institute, uncovering the link between flowers and woman’s beauty. These research was done on various types of flowers, from the root to the stem up to the flower petals. Flowers contain moisturizing properties and skin nourishing ingredients that not only provide moisturization to the skin but also to balance oil production.
Each Mamonde skincare range uses different flower as its key ingredient. They are five main range with five different key flower ingredient and functions.
Honeysuckle
Honeysuckle, an enduring winter flower is widely grown on the mountains and in the forests. The blossoms are white but gradually turn yellow with age.
Hibiscus
Hibiscus blooms beautifully under sunshine on summer days. Each hibiscus shrub is capable of growing up to 5,000 trumpet-shaped flowers over a long season.
Narcissus
Narcissus grows and blooms in bunches by the sea, revealing its pure and elegant beauty especially when clustered.
Lotus Flower
Lotus breathes as the sun rises and anchors itself firmly on a puddle of mud. The deep, noble scent that travels in wind is sure to attract you.
Camellia
Camellia is a flower capable of enduring long winter is adaptable even in the ocean. The flower is also capable of preserving its intoxicating scent regardless of its surrounding.
Mamonde aims to bring women’s beauty into a bloom through the eyes of nature and wisdom found in the flowers’ vitality, which is now available in their products. Lookout for Mamonde first ever beauty counter this August 2016 in Aeon Bandar Utama 😀
One of my very first Innisfree product is not The Green Tea Seed Serum but this No-Sebum Mineral Powder. Back then I have really oily skin and anything that said ‘matte’ or ‘no-sebum’ suck me into purchasing them automatically. The best part? This Innisfree No-Sebum Mineral Powder is VERY affordable. Like student-budget type of affordable 😀
With its sister brand adopting a new tagline, it is just the matter of time before L’Oréal Paris does the same. I was right. L’Oréal Paris revealed a brand new identity last week for its makeup products. They are now known as L’Oréal Paris Makeup Designer. L’Oréal want you to not just apply makeup but design your own makeup look.
