Clarins Event Review: Skin Care Skin Care - Hydrating Skin Care - Whitening

Clarins New White Plus Total Luminescent Day and Night Duo, a complete hydrating brightening action that optimize millions of “micro-mirrors” in every layer of the skin to reflect light

The beginning of 2014 is also a brand new beginning for Clarins whitening range whereas the brand recently has completed it’s reformulation of White Plus HP to White Plus Total Luminescent. Not sure if you are aware but last year Clarins starting to embark onto this new breakthrough technology by reformulating all of their whitening products except for Whitening Repairing Night Cream. Now the new range is complete.

Contrary to Caucasian living in a much more colder climate than Asian where we are constantly exposed to sunny and hot weather all year round. It only make sense that Asian women often long for a translucent and fairer complexion that is also smooth and even skin tone at the same time. Clarins understand that need and is now emphasising more on achieving a brighter and luminescent skin.

Review: Will Mentholatum Limited Edition Water Lip Tinted Lipbalm be a good alternative as a 2-in-1 lipbalm and lipstick?

Generally a lipstick that comes with a core of lip balm in the middle are more sheerer. It provides a decent moisture and color for the lips. That’s what I was hoping for from the latest Mentholatum Limited Edition Water Lip Tinted Lipbalm.

I think throughout my whole life I have only bought and used one tinted lip balm before. It was during high school time. It is no doubt tinted lip balm has quickly become popular as not many people are into lipstick or lip gloss. Lip balm as we all know is colorless. It can be used under lipstick/lip gloss or over it. Tinted lip balm however is the most convenient product to use of all time. Not only it keeps your lips moisturise but it also ccontains subtle pigments that enhances the lips’ natural color. You ended up looking more livelier, even without makeup on 😀

Mentholatum Limited Edition Water Lip Tinted Lipbalm 1
Mentholatum Limited Edition Water Lip Tinted Lipbalm is imported directly from Japan. This new product comes with SPF20 PA+++ and formulated with super hydrating ingredients such as 3 types of Hyaluronic Acid namely Hyaluronic Acid, Nano Hyaluronic Acid & Super Hyaluronic Acid, Aloe Vera extracts, Collagen and Honey. These ingredients work hand in hand to replenish and retain moisture as well as to increase the elasticity of your lips.

Beauty Products That Didn't Work Clarins Hiruscar Review: Make Up Review: Skin Care Urban Decay

“Sorry” Products aka Beauty Products That Didn’t Work – Part 1

I have always been lucky with most skin care and makeup products. I’m born with a skin that suits every skin care range from hydrating to whitening to brightening as well as anti-aging, which I felt blessed with despite having a not so perfect complexion. While I have been introducing you to beauty products that are good and works on me, I however do stumble upon highly raved products that does not do a bit good on my skin as claimed.

I had a beauty stash spring cleaning early January so I have thrown away most of the not-so-good products but I kept these three products.

Review: Turning to Himalaya Under Eye Cream – a Natural, Effective and Safe Product as My First Attempt in Combating Dark Eye Circle

Growing up, I have a sleeping schedule. I will go to bed on specific time and I must have a minimum of 8-hours beauty sleep. I also have a habit of switching my phone off by 9.30am and the phone was also set to restart itself by 7.30am. I need to rest and so does my phone 😀 . Maybe due to my sleeping behaviour, I don’t have dark eye circle and I never understand how does it feel like to have dark eye circle concern nor do I understand why most girls freak out and make screeching complain on their panda eyes.

Ever since I started blogging, that’s when I started to stay up late. I will only sleep at 1.30am and wake up by 5am every day. Oh and my phone? Let’s just say I jump onto my bed by 12.30am and started to fiddling my phone for at least an hour. No explanation needed on what happen next. I’m constantly on the look out for a concealer and that alone said something about my dark eye circle!

Himalaya Under Eye Cream 1
Yes. I have dark eye circle now. I refuse to accept the fact that I HAVE DARK EYE CIRCLE now and it shows under my makeup. At first I started to cover up with concealer but that was just a temporary solution. I needed something to combat it so I started to change my eye cream.

Review: Skin Care Skin Care - Masks Timeless Truth

Review: Checkered is not only for fashion but for the face too. Timeless Truth Functionality Mask knows how

Have you notice that I don’t review sheet mask? For various reasons, sheet mask is one beauty product that I don’t review. Main reason being the fact that I’m not fond of sheet mask as I find it not convenient for me when I blog on the couch at night. The second reason is that I don’t feel comfortable having a sheet mask slap onto my face for the whole wide world to see 😛

I have to bring you back to last year, just before Chinese New Year where I was approached by a reader to review a mask called TT Mask. I turned her down and she get the distributer company to approach me again. At that point of time I thought I can do it but from a different angle. Who am I kidding? How many angle can I think of when it comes to reviewing sheet mask eh? Silly me 😀 . Fast forward a little and I bought some mask to use and for just-in-case-I-decided-to-review-it.

Timeless Truth Mask, which is also known as TT Mask was brought into Malaysia by TT Mask Trading back in August 2012. Timeless Truth Malaysia is the brand representative in Malaysia to support Timeless Truth’s expansion in Malaysia.

Review: Hada Labo Mild Peeling Lotion, One Double Agent Product with Two Benefits

Hada Labo is known to me as a brand that utilise hyaluronic acid to achieve a bouncy, healthy and hydrated skin. I think they are the first brand who make applying lotion aka toner using palm application famous with their star product, Super Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Lotion. Ever since then Hada Labo came out with various skin care that cater to different skin type.

Just recently Hada Labo released a brand new product that are targeted for combination and oily skin type. Right down my alley 🙂 . The Hada Labo Mild Peeling Lotion that is. I’m guessing this year it’s all about the lotion craze eh?

Hada Labo Mild Peeling Lotion 1
The bottle is simple yet clean looking and yet sturdy packaging although it’s made from plastic. Mind you it doesn’t feel plasticky at all. It is the same bottle design with Super Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Lotion, which I like a lot. It comes in a flip-cap instead of a screw-cap. The convenient of it gives me a slight push to be more diligent in using it. Afterall, it’s hassle-free. No reason to be lazy 😛
