Clarins Review: Skin Care Skin Care - Anti-Ageing Skin Care - Firming Skin Care - Wrinkle / Fine Lines

Clarins Extra-Firming Neck Anti-Wrinkle Rejuvenating Cream: Tone and smoothes the neck area, but does not remove existing nasty deep lines

Just when I scrapped out the last bit of my old Clarins Advanced Extra-Firming Neck Cream, tossed the empty tub to the dustbin, the NEW Clarins Extra-Firming Neck Anti-Wrinkle Rejuvenating Cream arrived my doorstep two months ago.

I wished I was told about the importance of taking care of the neck, just as the face. I came from a family where no one uses any skincare. I learnt about taking care of my face only after I started working. However at that time neck care is basically non-existance. Just like face care, I learnt it the hard way. It was a 9-5 desk job with monitor placement underneath the table (you know, the kind of table that the banks are into a few years ago?) that gave me two harsh lines on the neck that got me thinking about neck care.

Clarins Extra-Firming Neck Cream
If you search hard enough, you will know that there aren’t many neck cream available. There are a few from higher end brand and they are usually on the higher price side. Yes you can drag your usual skincare down to the neck, but for someone who has two distinctive deep lines, it is not enough nor does it do anything.

Budget - Skin Care Budget Buy Hada Labo Review: Skin Care Skin Care - Sunblock/Sunscreen

Hada Labo 5-In-1 UV Gel Sunscreen: Great as sunscreen, not so much as makeup base and face primer

Hada Labo is a brand that are constantly coming out with new products using the latest innovation and technology. It’s pretty interesting if you’re a fan of the brand and that you are following closely with their latest news. The last new product release from Hada Labo was 2 months ago and it’s the 5-in-1 UV Perfect Gel. Still at the “gel” phase, Hada Labo unveiled their latest sunscreen innovation last month and it’s the 5-In-1 UV Gel SPF50+ PA++++ Sunscreen.

Hada Labo 5-In-1 UV Gel Sunscreen
The Hada Labo 5-In-1 UV Gel Sunscreen was developed to not only protect the skin from UV rays, but also infused with nature’s goodness to make sure the skin feels comfortable underneath the product, smooth and soft. It is an all-in-one sunscreen product. What this means is, this product also contain skin care properties. Don’t be surprised if I tell you that this baby blue tube right here is also an Essence, Emulsion, Makeup Base and Face Primer. That was what I meant by all-in-one 😀 . I bet most of you would shout hallelujah at the top of your lungs as it saves so much time getting ready in the morning. As a sunscreen, this product are packed with SPF50+ PA++++. With all the “pluses” protection, rest assured that your skin will be properly protected from broad spectrum of UVA and UVB.

L'Occitane Make Up - Face Review: Make Up Review: Skin Care Skin Care - Face Mist

L’Occitane Pivoine Sublime Perfecting Mist: Feeding the face mist craving with a touch of peony flower for the mid-day fix on the go

In my mind I already had a plan to review the NEW L’Occitane Pivoine Sublime Perfecting Mist together with Pivoine Sublime Skin Tone Perfecting Cream SPF 20 (CC Cream) and photos were already taken a month ago but when I look back at my photos, I had to kick myself for forgetting to take a photo of both products together. So that explains why I will only talk about Pivoine Sublime Perfecting Mist alone today without the CC Cream. But fret not, the review for CC Cream will follow next 😉

Now let’s turn our attention back to one of my current craze at the moment – face mist. I am so into face mist now. The L’Occitane Pivoine Sublime Perfecting Mist landed on my desk at the right time.

L'Occitane Pivoine Sublime Perfecting Mist
You might think all face mist are more or less the same. Well, true to an extend but I always believe each face mist are different or unique in their own way. Pivoine Sublime is one of the many range under L’Occitane. Not all of the range under the brand has a face mist. The Pivoine Sublime Perfecting Mist happened to be a new extension under the range. This face mist is a multi-purpose beauty mist that refreshes, beautify, tone, hydrates, helps to refine skin texture and fixes make-up at any time of the day. Sounds like a all-in-one wonder face mist, eh?

Aesthetic Clinic Beauty Salon Premier Clinic Review: Skin Care

Facial Sculpting and Contouring at Premier Clinic

A friend of mine always said that the most important thing about aging is to let ourself age gracefully and I aged pretty good according to him. It is not the aging that I’m afraid of. I am still bothered about the side effect from taking Hyperthyroidism medication despite being off the meds for a good two years now. Among the side effects from Hyperthyroidism medication on me are weight gain, eczema, and the change of face shape. When Premier Clinic approached me for a treatment review, immediately I knew what I want to fix. I never said this to anyone before but I have been struggling with my face shape. I am not born with a square face. I used to have a sharp feature until years of medication changed everything. Being a beauty blogger means I cannot run away from posting up photos of my face and I hate my square face.

Premier Clinic Botox Facial Sculpting
Premier Clinic has two branches, one located at TTDI (same row as Pizza Hut) and the other branch is at Bangsar Jalan Telawi. Two weeks ago, I dropped by Premier Clinic TTDI for my first consultation. The clinic is very easy to find as it is located along the road, just a few shops away from Pizza Hut. Finding a parking is not an issue as there is a reserved parking spot right in front of Premier Clinic but it is of course first come first serve only. Initially I decided to find my own parking as I want to let other clients of the clinic to be able to use the parking spot but I didn’t manage to find a parking after a few rounds of scouting so I have no choice but to utilize the parking spot 🙂 . This clumsy girl left the clinic happily that she had forgotten to take photo of the clinic for reference but I have a photo of me with my doctor, Dr. Elaine Chong 😀 . This is the last photo of me with a square face.

Dr. Jart+ Review: Skin Care Skin Care - Whitening

Dr. Jart+ V7 Toning Light: Instantly brighten complexion and lighten acne marks faster than other cream

Rumour has it that everyone in Korea is getting a hand on this amazing instant whitening Dr-Jart+ V7 Toning Light cream. It’s not a surprise to me as Asians are very much into the whitening or brightening and so am I 🙂 . As much as I like to bronze my face when I do my makeup, however I’m not willing to let go of having a fairer skin.

Dr-Jart+ V7 Toning Light
As I shared in my recent Beauty Tips: How To Lighten Acne Marks, you would have guessed that I absolutely like love this Dr-Jart+ V7 Toning Light. Everything about this product is sturdy. The jar is made from heavy duty glass and the cap is made from heavy duty plastic with brand name and product description embossed all over the top. The fact that everything is in a simple packaging and white makes my world better.
