Completing the Olay Regenerist Miracle Duo is the latest Olay Regenerist Miracle Boost Youth Pre-Essence. It is meant to complement the Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream. The Miracle Duo is targeted at boosting cell renewal for youthful skin. I attended the launch of the Olay Regenerist Miracle Boost Youth Pre-Essence in Singapore some time late September and got to learn first hand the science behind the essence. Thanks loads Olay Malaysia for taking me along and Olay Singapore for having me!

Leave on masks are really doing wonders for my skin right now! Despite the fact that I really haven't been getting enough sleep, my skin is looking good. Obviously not a substitute for sufficient sleep, but it's really helping at the moment. Bobbi Brown recently introduced their first ever, good-for-you masks - Radiance Boost, Skin Nourish and Instant Detox. I was kindly sent Skin Nourish first, which I have been using regularly  and am definitely loving it. Bobbi Brown Skin Nourish is enriched with powerful moisture magnets which instantly quenches dry skin with sustained moisturisation for a smoother, plumper look.

I'm not going to lie, I was a tad apprehensive about the whole oil based products on my face. I have had unpleasant experiences in the past but I decided to give this a go mainly because it is not mineral oils. The Body Shop Oils of Life range was introduced a few months back and it's a range that draws you to it when you are browsing in store just by looking all kinds of fancy. I mean, just look at the Intensely Revitalising Facial Oil bottle. Feel like touching it don't you? Ok, before this sounds more weird than it already does, here's a bit of background.

If the title hasn't already given it away, yes I'm talking about the up coming festive season, Christmas! It's never too early to plan for Christmas, be it parties, getaways and most important of all that meaningful something to give to those you hold most dear.

Probably the coolest description of a skincare product ever. For dull, tired and grumpy skin. With a description like that, it's hard not to be curious. The Body Shop Vitamin C Glow Boosting Moisturiser is the latest edition to the Vitamin C range and is meant to reveal natural, healthy-looking glow. It is infused with Amazonian camu camu berries, which contain up to 60 times the vitamin C concentration of an orange. It also contains organic aloe vera to hydrate the skin.

Despite having a really good skin month with minimal breakout in May, June hasn't been very forgiving. Early June was ridden with breakouts, hence the lack of makeup/skincare reviews because my bare face was just annoying to take before-after photos of. My usual spot treatment wasn't being effective enough. When the lovely people over at Estee Lauder found out, they kindly sent me the Estee Lauder Clear Difference Targeted Blemish Treatment to see if it will help.

Over the weekend Clinique introduced the New Turnaround Revitalizing specialists which is formulated to awaken radiance from deep within by boosting skin's natural cell renewal, which has slowed down due to stress, fatigue and environmental aggressors. These day and night products work with skin's own cycle renewal creating skin that looks healthy, glowing and luminous.

Melvita Bio-Excellence Naturalift Youthful Skin Extraordinary Water and Melvita Bio-Excellence Naturalift Youthful Serum are two new additions to Melvita's organic anti-ageing skin care range Bio-Excellence Naturalift. The range is targeted at cellular ageing and works to smooth wrinkles, fine lines and redefine facial contours with ingredients derived from the precious organic four plant buds. Beech, pine, blackcurrant and raspberry plant extracts work together to strengthen the skin's natural defences and help it to resist oxidation.

Picking up from where I left off with The Body Shop Moisture White™ Shiso Eye Serum, I have been trying out the recently introduced The Body Shop Moisture White Shiso Overnight Triple Booster Serum and I'm going to start it off with this - 'Results So Fast It's Scary'. Don't worry, nothing went wrong during the test period, so keep your pants on and read on.

Feels like I haven't been in front of my laptop in ages. To you guys celebrating the Lunar New Year, hope the year of the goat brings good health, good fortune and loads of happiness. The plan was to wish you guys sooner but unfortunately I wasn't feeling well. I have a lot to catch up on and I am going to start with this new release from Origins that has helped keep my skin in check through out my recovery period. I actually packed it in my hospital bag as part of my basic three step routine. Wasn't going to let the skin suffer just because I was ill. I started using this overnight cream right after I finished experimenting with the La Mer moisturiser.

I was using the La Mer Moisturizing Soft Cream on and off last year, not giving it time to properly work on my skin. I kept saying I'll get back to it and only started to use it continuously through out December last year and half of January. I could smack myself hard for not getting back to it sooner because it has been nothing short of amazing.

Eye gels or creams are something I always look forward to trying because all this lack of sleep is not helping my eyes at all. I'm never expecting wonders but a product that will make my eyes looks less tired. This time I've taken the latest release from La Mer for a month long trial.

Some time mid last year Origins and Dr. Andrew Weil developed a new formula for the Mega Mushroom Skin Relief Collection. The range is targeted at sensitive skin due to emotional stress and environmental aggressors that will eventually lead to chronic inflammation, redness, dryness and breakouts. Mega Mushroom Skin Relief Collection helps to promote skin resilience, evenness and a healthier appearance with a new cocktail of "miracle worker" ingredients Sea Buckthorn berry, mushrooms long used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and other powerful ingredients.

Inspired by Kiehl's Super Muti-Corrective Cream, the new Super Multi-Corrective Eye-Opening Serum is a 5-in-1 solution to lift, firm, hydrate and restore a youthful shape to eyes, providing it with a 360° correction.

Award winning local designer Hatta Dolmat unveiled a stunning haute couture Festive Collection at the launch of SK-II's Limited Edition Festive Facial Treatment Essence Collection at the prestigious event at SK-II #Change Destiny Garden in Suria KLCC last week. Not only are the gowns amazing, the flower design on the Facial Treatment Essence bottle is just as pretty.

"Visible results in just 7 days", yes that's what the latest super serum from Lancome promises. Lancôme Advanced Génifique Youth Activating Concentrate was launched some time mid last year, is a reformulation of is predecessor the Lancôme Génifique which was introduced a few years earlier (read review here and Lancôme Super Serums review here).

Well it has been quite a break.. Hope you guys are still enjoying your time off and Raya visiting. Easing myself back into my usual routine and I thought I'd share with guys my current favourite masks I have been using for the past two weeks. I wasn't really looking for anything specific when I bought these two I just wanted to get some new masks.

Indeed Laboratories Hydraluron Moisture Booster has been raved about so much that I was really looking forward to trying it out. We have all heard what Hyaluronic Acid can do for our skin which happens to be the main ingredient of Hydraluron.

You know how serums usually target a particular concern or a combination of a few related ones? Well I was very curious when I heard about the New Clinique Smart Custom-Repair Serum. It's like an all-in-one serum that is able to provide a solution for a list skin concerns. Is it possible? Well after trying out the Clinique Smart Custom-Repair Serum for 4 weeks, I can honestly answer yes.

Here's a new cleanser from Kiehl's to complement its much loved Calendula Herbal Extract Alcohol Free Toner. Unfortunately the Calendula Deep Cleansing Foaming Face Wash doesn't have the hand-picked Marigold flower petals floating in it. I rather fancy having it floating about, it adds to the effect. However, it still comes in the amber coloured bottle that's synonymous with the toner.
