Rifling through the Bobbi Brown Mask Wardrobe for an Instant Detox, Skin Nourish and Radiance Boost

10 Comments

A little earlier this year, Bobbi Brown rolled out a trio of face masks in their skincare range, that had everyone in a tizz. Masks are enjoying a bit of a renaissance these days, I’ve noticed, and brands that are quick to roll with the times usually are quick to garner results.

Naturally, since I move at the speed of a glacier, it’s only taken me till now to work out what I think about them. On the minus side, the brand’s shaking their head at my tardiness. On the plus side, they’re permanent, and I’ve used these for months so I now am quite sure how I feel about them.

There are 3 different masks in the Bobbi Brown mask wardrobe, targeted at different uses and purposes. When they were first launched, I was told that the Instant Detox mask wasn’t going to be sold in Malaysia, so I “imported” one in from Singapore. The minute I got it, I was told it’d passed regulations and was available in our market. Tsk! 😛 But that meant I had a full selection and could therefore have a good go at them! 😀 Let me tell you about each of them, and which I like… and importantly, which I don’t! 😀

What if I told you that you can use the Skin Creamery Everyday Cream all over your Face and Body?

24 Comments

What if I told you that there was a product that you could slather all over you, from head to toe. Literally. A product that softens and smoothens your hands, and at the same time, light enough to use on your face. Wouldn’t that be the perfect moisturiser for someone with time they couldn’t afford to waste or spend? Wouldn’t that be value for money?!

Incidentally, this product exists! Yes, it surprises me as much as it does you. I know what you’re thinking “How on earth can a moisturiser for the hands and body be suitable for the face?! You must be joking!”

Well, Skin Creamery isn’t. The Skin Creamery Everyday Cream promises to do just that – be the all-in-one moisturiser for face and body. I was as sceptical as they come, as you well know, so when I was presented with this by Skin Creamery’s local distributor Savanna Goodness, I confess, I couldn’t help a snicker of derision. Yet, I was curious enough to try it, and I’m glad I did! (You’ll be glad I did too coz now there’s a discount code for you 😛 )

Soaking in the essence of Paris and discovering the new Clarins Treatment Essence in PB’s Parisian Adventure

22 Comments

Treatment essences aren’t something new to us, skincare fans, are they? But what if there was a treatment essence that helps your skin, based on age and skin concerns? Now, that might be something worth investigating. And that was what I headed to discover in Paris with skincare brand Clarins, as part of the Malaysia digital influencer team! W00t!

Clarins’ office headquarters in Paris!

Paris is a beautiful city, filled with eye-popping monuments, historical artifacts, and stunning architecture that makes you want to look upwards all the time, so you don’t miss anything of the beautiful wrought iron balconies and rooftops. Paris is also home to world famous luxury fashion designer brands and international beauty brands, of which Clarins is one. I’ll take you through some highlights of my PB’s Parisian Adventure with Clarins, tell you a LOT more about these Clarins Anti-Ageing Treatment Essences (and how to score some samples) and how I was taught to use them for best effect. Settle in, it’ll be quite a ride 🙂

Let May Lindstrom Blue Cocoon envelop your skin in its intoxicating iconic balm

43 Comments

These days I’m a little obsessed about skincare, and that’s rather dangerous because a lot of what I’m obsessed with isn’t available locally. That’s fine, with the invention of the internet, except that a lot of what I’m obsessed with tends to cost a pretty penny as well. Now, that’s the true nub of the problem.

I’d been eyeing the May Lindstrom brand up and down for quite a while, but was too afraid to take the plunge for a very long time due to the high pricetag. However, some time last year, I saw that one of the iconic products – May Lindstrom Blue Cocoon – was included in one of the Cult Beauty boxes, and that’s when I decided to take a chance on it. If it didn’t work for me, at least I didn’t pay full price for it, since there were other items in the box I could enjoy.

Well, it’s only taken me till NOW to give it a go and to tell you about it! To be honest, I only remembered I had it, when my skin was going a little nuts not long ago, and thought a simple skincare routine with just this would help. At the time, because I hadn’t identified the problem, it wasn’t a lot of help, and I mentioned on Instagram that I was disappointed. When I solved the issue with my skin, Blue Cocoon helped my skin recover and I was SOLD! I lapped it up, all £126/US$160 (RM680 approx) of it. OUCH!
