Dolce: the new fragrance that heralds an emotional and sensory journey through the heart of Dolce&Gabbana’s DNA: the noble land of Sicily.
The story of Dolce
Dolce blossoms in the memories of Domenico and Stefano. In the same antique mirror that was hanging in the tailor shop of Domenico’s father in Polizzi Generosa, near Palermo, and that today is in the Designers’ office, the reflections of emotions and traditional values come back to life.
Feminine and fresh, Dolce embodies the delicate balance between timeless craftsmanship and innovation in the art of perfumed composition.
During the 90s, there is this Herbal Essences shampoo phenomena where every girl in the block must at least have a bottle of Herbal Essences shampoo in their bathroom. I still remember I am also one of the girl who stock up on this shampoo because it smells oh-so-good. Last time Herbal Essences shampoo was packed in a clear bottle with flower print sticker on the other side. Let me tell you that bottle is also one of the reason why I like Herbal Essences.
Fast forward to 2014, just a few days ago Herbal Essences launched the new Japan series with it’s Touchable Smooth and Touchable Moisture series, inspired by the hypnotizing scents of nature.
Herbal Essences Japan Series is rich with refreshing blend of aromas and naturally-derived fragrance highlight notes of roses and sparkling citrus that comes in two variants. You might want to know that the series is formulated in Japan and especially imported into Malaysia. This series focuses on providing a touch of smoothness to moisturized hair.
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.
Research done by Clarins shows that it’s breakthrough technology reveals that the skin is made up of millions of “micro-mirrors” that have the ability to reflect light. With this research result on hand, Clarins New White Plus Total Luminescent range is infused with unique “Trans Luminescent Complex” to revive skin’s micro-mirrors, ability to achieve ultimate translucency, even, fair and healthy looking rosy luminescent complexion.
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 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.
Weekends are my absolute favourite days of the week because that is the day where I get to do my beauty rounding at KLCC. I know I’m suppose to move around malls for beauty rounding but I’m totally hooked to the newly renovated Isetan over at KLCC. I also find all the BA there are much more friendlier and polite. That is why I keep going back to Isetan KLCC. Oh and the ladies parking there is the best. Last time if I go KLCC around 2pm, all the parkings are full. Ever since the ladies parking section existed, I can go KLCC anytime as there will always be parking for me 🙂
Now, beauty counters horror story. We’ve all been there, done that. I started dipping my toes into beauty through sampling. Took the sample home, tried it on, wow-ed by the result and return for a purchase. But the reality is most BA at these beauty counter usually gives us a very hard time. Up until a few years back beauty counters at departmental store are deemed as “premium” or luxury or even expensive brands. Now everyone can afford it. Having to be one of the person who deal with beauty counters from time to time, let me share with you my Top 6 Beauty Counter Secrets that your friendly BA won’t tell you.
