Review: Kiehl’s Ultimate White Cleansing Cream and Intensive Whitening Essence & New Store Opening

May 28, 2009 Paris B 22 Comments

The opening of Kiehl’s 3rd store in Malaysia reminds me of another 2 products I’ve tried from the Kiehl’s Ultimate White line – the Cleansing Cream and the Intensive Whitening Essence.

Kiehl’s Ultimate White line smells yummy!

Before I get into the products, let me just say that the Kiehl’s Ultimate While line smells absolutely delicious. The products have a subtle scent of plums and citrus that is refreshing and soothing. Nice when you apply it and lie in bed with that fruity smell wafting around. I like it!

Kiehl’s Ultimate White Cleansing Cream (RM95)

Kiehl's Ultimate White Cleansing Cream

The Cleansing Cream is to me a decent cleanser. Again, I don’t believe anything can whiten lighten or brighten if you’re going to wash it all off almost immediately so I won’t put much score by the whitening or brightening properties. Perhaps if used together with other brightening products it might make some difference.

I always use a makeup remover first or cleansing oils so this is the 2nd part of my cleansing routine. On other days when I don’t use makeup, the cleansing cream removes dirt and leaves my face feeling clean.

I only use very little as it lathers up very well. It can feel a little drying after cleansing though so its always essential for me to tone and moisturise after that. At RM95 for a 150ml tube that can last me … well pretty much forever… I think its a pretty decent item. Its not a “must have” if you ask me though. I reserve that title for the Ultimate White Exfoliator! LOL…

Kiehl’s Ultimate White Intensive Whitening Essence (RM190)

Kiehl's Ultimate white intensive whitening essence

The Intensive Whitening Essence promises to brighten the skin and lighten existing dark spots. I can testify to some brightening. The essence pumps out a pearlescent white that also smells quite delicious. Perhaps its the pearlescent qualities of the essence, but my skin does look slightly brighter and more even almost immediately. I did not notice visible lightening of dark pigmentation over a month’s regular use, but neither did I sprout any new ones and the lighter freckles seem to be under control.

Review: Dove Ultimate Visibly Smooth Anti-Perspirant Deodorant

May 27, 2009 Paris B 28 Comments

I don’t regularly use deodorant or anti-perspirant. Sorry… Is that TMI (Too Much Info)? LOL… Reason is mainly because I don’t feel the need to as I don’t have over active sweat glands nor BO <- at least I hope not 😛 and I grew up with the scare of breast cancer linked to deos etc.

However, recently I was offered to try the new Dove Ultimate Visibly Smooth deodorant which is launching in the USA in May 2009.

Dove Visibly Smooth Deodorant

Unlike other deodorants I’m used to seeing, the Dove Ultimate Visibly Smooth tube is large. At 74g, much larger than normal. Definitely not something you can tote around in your purse. I wonder why they made it so large.

Its a deodorant stick that goes on with a dry feel. I like that. I don’t want to walk around with my arms stuck out at right angles to my body waiting for my deodorant to dry before I can put on my clothes 😛

The “Visibly Smooth” in the name refers to the pro-epil complex to help you feel stubble free for longer. Really? The sceptic in me raised an eyebrow.

Bloop de Paris bath bombs bombed!

May 27, 2009 Paris B 17 Comments

I don’t normally come down hard on products because I know they are a matter of personal preference but Bloop de Paris bath bombs seriously bombed big time for me!

Bloop de Paris Bath Bombs

The bath bombs are large globes that come in different flavours and colors. I picked up Lavender (blue) and Rose (pink) for RM14.90 each. I’ve never felt anything more undeserving of my money 🙁

Firstly the scent is strong. I’m fine with strong scents but it smelt fine at the store and later took on a very chemical smell when I took it home – like chemicals in a lab. It was cloying and I had to hide the bag or gag everytime I passed by where I stored it.

An overview of Definite Cosmetics – Definitely worth checking out

May 26, 2009 Paris B 35 Comments

I enjoy discovering new brands in particular if they are homegrown – either fully or in part. There is something very satisfying knowing that a brand is conceptualized in Malaysia. It is even more satisfying when you get to meet the people behind the brand and feel their enthusiasm and passion for their brand and product. This was how I felt when I met Stanley Wong and Josephine Mook, the husband-wife team behind Definite Cosmetics. They are lovely friendly people who have great faith in their products as owners should be!

Definite Cosmetics

Definite Cosmetics is a Malaysian-Italian brand – products are made in Italy and packaging and marketing is done here in Malaysia. I’m assured its all from Italy and that the products are of high quality and kept to high standards to ensure they deliver the results promised.

I poked around their store in Sunway Pyramid recently and found some things that are definitely worth checking out and a couple more things that they could improve upon so read on!

Definite Party Eyeshadows rock me boat!

My eye swept the eyeshadow counter and immediately lighted on Twist n Shout (RM56) a gorgeous gorgeous deep dark khaki eye color with fine gold shimmer. The texture feels amazingly smooth and it is very pigmented. You might remember that I’m using Twist n Shout in my 1 month challenge and I’m loving every moment of it. Its so versatile and goes with almost every colour and works for a mean smokey eye. Must have in my book!
