Estee Lauder Summer 2009 – Vivid Garden & Bronze Goddess

Paris B 16 Comments

Living in a tropical country, its always summer all year round and that might explain why I am always that little bit more interested in Summer and Fall collections than Spring. When the Estee Lauder Fuschia Now collection for Spring turned my head, I had to check out what they had in store for Summer 2009. I’m glad to note that Estee Lauder has impressed me once again.

This is the upcoming Vivid Garden Collection from Estee Lauder for Summer 2009. I read reports that said that it was exclusive to the Far East (that means us! Yay!) but I cannot confirm it. It will also be available at Harvey Nichols in the UK. I don’t suppose some one from Estee Lauder is reading this and can confirm the availability of this collection?

Review: Skincare: H20+ Face Oasis Hydrating Treatment

Paris B 36 Comments

H20+ (H2O plus) swam into my radar about 3 years ago when I browsed online a lot. I also tested out some products from their store in Hong Kong as I was not aware if there was a store in Malaysia. It turns out they do but its been pretty low key.

H20plus Face Oasis Hydrating Treatment gel

A star product of H20+ has been their Face Oasis Hydrating Treatment gel (link). I had the opportunity to try this one out recently after reading so much about it, and I must say it lives right up to the hype!

The H2O+ Face Oasis Hydrating Treatment Gel comes in a tub. Here’s where I come in with my hygiene concerns because you have to dip your fingers into the tub to get at the gel. You could transfer out the gel into smaller tubs though – that does cut down contamination somewhat.

The gel is a striking turquoise blue – I love the color – it reminds me of the sea and since it contains a patented Sea Mineral Complex, it is most fitting too! The gel is very very light but spreads very well.

According to H2O+ the sea mineral complex helps attract, transport and distribute moisture equivalent to eight glasses of water. All thats well and good but how did my skin like it?

Paris B 17 Comments

This will be one for perfume collectors and afficionados. Dior has come up with 2 limited edition Dior Addict 2 and Dior Addict Shine perfume bottles as part of the couture collection.

Dior Addict Couture Collection

The Couture Collection for the Dior Addict perfumes reflect the paisley design of the Dior Cruise collection 2008. Delicate paisley motifs cover the pink bottle of Dior Addict 2 and the beige bottle of Dior Addict Shine – its really pretty – something you have to see for yourself. I have and I think its gorgeous.

I’m not much good with perfumes but I’ll try to describe the 2 that I have smelt.
