This year Lancôme has reformulated their Cushion Compact and has come up with a Cushion Blush to compliment it. It is enriched with a cocktail of ultra-targeted skin care ingredients to reach the ideal Lively Rosy Bright skin : a corn extract known for its anti-pollution properties, extracts of rose, mint and gentian for their anti-inflammatory properties, a combination of vitamin CG and a derivative of resorcinol to combat excessive production of melanin, a moisturising agent. It's also equipped with SPF 50 + / PA +++ protection.

You can help to make a CHANGE. If you're a regular at The Body Shop stores, you might already have seen this. The iconic Almond Hand & Nail Cream and Hemp Hand Protector is now in a bold new limited edition packaging re-designed by one of the world's most renowned street artist - EINE. Using EINE famous typography the Almond Hand & Nail Cream and Hemp Hand Protector communicates the positive and powerful message, CHANGE. Reminiscent with The Body Shop mission to make a difference in peoples lives on a worldwide scale it truly puts the power to change in the palm of your hands.

A bit late to the game but the latest Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation Compact has been well received in Korea as mentioned by Felix Nguyen, Bobbi Brown Asia Pacific Artistry Manager. I have never really been into the whole cushion compact thing as I find that the whole Korean style "moist" finish, light coverage thing don't seem to work all too well with me. But if it's a new Bobbi Brown foundation, you know I have to try it.

Pure skin. That's what NARS is going for this Spring/Summer with the latest introduction of the NARS Velvet Matte Skin Tint SPF 30. It meant to makes skin look like skin and not masked with loads of product. The NARS Velvet Matter Skin Tint is designed using the velvet illusion complex that protects and perfects the skin with a soft-matte finish. Rose Fruit Extract visibly minimises the appearance of pores, while controlling shine. Vitamin C,E and broad spectrum SPF 30 protect against free-radical damage caused by environmental stress.

And here's the clay mask that I heard would never get here but got here eventually. Bobbi Brown Instant Detox Mask is a purifying mask targeted at deep cleansing the skin making it look healthier and clearer. I don't know about you but I always get excited about black/grey masks. It's just fun to have on.

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 just can't help but look forward to Zoolander No. 2 after Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson walked the runway at the Valentino show at Paris Fashion Week last year as their supermodel alter egos which served as the official announcement of Zoolander No. 2. It was cool!

If glow is what you are looking for then, this latest Asia exclusive Bobbi Brown Nourishing Glow Foundation might just be the one. It is formulated to give you that nourishing moisture and luminous coverage for an ultra-polished, lit-from-within look.

The Estee Lauder Revitalising Supreme Eye Balm and Mask are part of the Global Anti-Ageing range. The Eye Balm is meant to reduce the signs of ageing around the eyes, including lines, wrinkles and crepiness. It is formulated with IntuiGen Technology which helps reactivate skin's innate ability to look younger. The Mask is also infused with IntuiGen Technology as well as an Anti-Fatigue Complex which intensely nourishes and moisturises. Your skin will then look rested, healthy and luminous.

Okay so I'm an oil convert, and I was all for trying out the latest Shu Uemura Skin Perfector. It is an oil elixir that awakens the senses through an addictive skincare experience. Made from 8 essential oils and 2 botanical oils the Skin Perfector is a multi-purpose skincare treatment that can be used as part of your skincare routine as well as a makeup base to get that radiant, glowing complexion.

It's called Nouvelle Vogue and it's what Spring colours are made off. The NARS Spring 2016 Collection is mostly neutral with hints of colours. NARS describes it - Orchid blush radiates from a natural, matte complexion and lips captivate in shimmering apricot, rose and mulled wine. Eyes mesmerize in icy mint, matte beige and bronzed rose tones paired with a bold, winged liner. The must-have of the season: Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow in a sumptuous, versatile spectrum that can be applied dry for a sophisticated sheer effect, or wet for a dramatic, high-shine finish.

I have not seen so much pink roses and everything pink at a product launch in a while. The setup for the launch of The Body Shop new British Rose range was exactly that. If you guys haven't heard or seen the latest range from The Body Shop yet, I suggest you get yourselves to the nearest store as soon as possible because their new British Rose is bloomin' fabulous! It's meant to give you petal-soft skin with an instant glow. There may not be an obvious dazzle but it does make the skin look all healthy.

I have been meaning to post this up for ages but never got around to it. I bought the Nars Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow in Subra over two months ago, yes it has been that long, and I have been using it quite a bit.

 

To celebrate the upcoming Lunar New Year, SK-II has released its first ever commemorative Chinese New Year Facial Treatment Essence New Phoenix Limited Edition at the SK-II Chinese New Countdown Party recently at the #changedestiny World atrium in Mid Valley Megamall.

 

'From Lancôme With Love, A Parisian Spring 2016 Collection', is an irresistible collection for obvious reasons, the colours, illustrations as well as the exciting new products. It is inspired by an imaginary journey infused with grace and lightness. The heroine of this Parisian tale re-connects with her childlike side to imagine looks with new-found sensuality, both elegant and delicate, playing with innovative textures and zesty colours. In one word, playful.

Right before the New Year, SK-II collaborated with EH! magazine for a Gifting Party with Yuna. It was the first time she was making an appearance  since her appointment as SK-II Malaysia's brand ambassador.

This has got to be the sexiest scent this year! Theo James fronting the campaign has nothing to do with it. Okay I lie, it has everything to do with it. This on Theo James would be the perfect Christmas gift. But seriously though the scent is so seductive! If you are looking for a new fragrance for your man this Christmas, this is the one.

Okay so I have been absent for a while, work has just been manic and I also just realised that my blog alignment has gone a tad wonky. I'm hoping to do some catching up and fix the blog soonest. Bare with me guys.

 

It's five sleeps til Christmas and if you are still looking for a gift idea, the SK-II Facial Treatment Essence Festive Edition might just be the one, especially for those SK-II fans. Unveiled at the SK-II #changedestiny World Festive Edition, the bottles and sets are created to embody qualities that reflect SK-II's #changedestiny ideals - boldness, perseverance and encouragement. The iconic bottles are adorned with butterflies and hummingbirds to symbolise the beauty in transformation and the possibilities of soaring beyond your potential.

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.

It has been ages since I tried a new drugstore hair care product, only because I already have my drugstore go tos. So receiving this latest one from Pantene is a welcome change. The Pantene Pro-V 3 Minute Miracle Conditioner is part of the Total Damage Care range. The new formula is targeted to smoothen 3 months of damage in 3 minutes, repairs hair damage deep within the core and reduces protein loss to prevent further damage.
