You can’t drink this: Definite Cosmetics Hydra Swiss Spa Cosmetic Water

November 25, 2009 Paris B 5 Comments

If you are following my Twitter statuses, I overheard something this morning while I was kicking my heels waiting around, that amused me so much I had to Tweet it:-

Overheard: women are like ginger – older they get the spicier lol! Thots? about 6 hours ago

Teehee… not only content with pondering about this, I pondered too on the words “Cosmetic Water” in the Definite Cosmetics Hydra Swiss Spa Cosmetic Water. I was a little puzzled when I first tried it. It did not feel like water. The lotion is light and milky looking and viscous when poured out. It wasn’t quite cosmetics too. But what it is is a moisturizing lotion that soothes the skin and helps control inflammation and sebum.

The new Hydra Swiss Spa Cosmetic Water from Definite Cosmetics is this lotion that I’m referring to. I used this for about a month previously as a toner or after toner and I did like the effect it had on my skin. It was light, absorbed quickly without feeling sticky and helped keep my skin moist.

Definite Cosmetics says that this water helps diminish pore size and control sebum and oiliness too. I can’t quite attest to the pore size reduction because I’m already using a whole host of other products targeted at that. I do know that my foundation slides on more easily and smoother, and I found my T-zone less oily during the day. I did not shine like a beacon in the light so that is a good thing 😛

The reason I stopped using this is because I took it with me on a work trip to Penang and left in the hotel! Ah clever me – some random housekeeper in the hotel is now walking around with nice smooth skin thanks to my carelessness 😛

You don’t use much – its very viscous and spreads easily. I used it instead of or after toner in the morning and evening. Used in the morning, I found that it helped act as a nice base too so my makeup goes on looking just a little better even without using makeup base 😀

Recommended for all skin types a 100ml bottle of Definite Cosmetics Hydra Swiss Spa Cosmetic Water retails for RM158 for 100ml and is available at all Definite Cosmetics counters at Parkson, Aeon Tebrau JB and Asian Avenue Sunway Pyramid.

Pros: Light texture absorbs quickly, Skin feels smooth and moisturized, Skin felt less oily, Makes a nice base for makeup

Cons: Fragrance is a little strong (flowery) and might bug some

Aside: It might interest you to know that by the time you read my skincare reviews, its already 4-6 weeks down the road and I’m already moving on to something else (unless I’m seriously loving it) or its been handed over to my lucky sister or mum who finish things up faster than I ever can! 🙂

So! Any thoughts on my Tweet above? Or do you have a quotation of your own to share? 😀

Stay beautiful,

Paris B

    ooo… read abt this product in the papers… I hate leaving things in the hotel… sighs… my cousin once left her teddy bear in the hotel and had to get them to post it back… lucky it was only in Thailand….

    For oiliness? My skin has been getting super oily lately because I used Erythroderm (erythromycin) to get rid of pimples… the side effect- oiliness… sighs…

Apparently elephants would eat the fruit of the ma Apparently elephants would eat the fruit of the marula tree and they’d get drunk 🤣 Trying out this #drunkelephant Marula oil. Very popular but worth the hype? On the blog!

I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskinca I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskincare Aura Manuka Honey Mask. It blew my mind away! Soothes skin. Boosts hydration and just makes you feel like you have the best skin ever! Not kidding. If you have a spot or irritated skin, it calms it down and helps get rid of your spots too. Honey is anti bacterial after all, so it’s a great multitasker. 
I also love the Manuka Honey Skin brightening Day Cream. It’s light but creamy and sinks into the skin. I’ve reviewed them both on the blog in the past. If you run a search for Antipodes, you’d also notice how much I love the brand! 😁
I’m super late with this but if you’re planning to purchase any of these 3 Manuka honey items from TNS Skinlab, the code MYWSTUFF10 will give you an extra 10% off (until tomorrow 31 Dec) I highly recommend grabbing the Aura mask. You’ll never want to be without (I always have a backup!) 
Thanks for the gift @tnsskinlab and I must apologise for my tardiness 😩 I’ll learn to cope better from next week! 
Now I have to scuttle and write my year end musings. Some traditions must be kept! 😜
Tell me your fave Antipdoes skincare product!

It’s my first year doing retail and honestly, I’d never been so busy! The year-end rush is unreal! But busy is good, right? At least that’s what I tell myself 😂
While I pack up gift boxes of treats for doggies 🐶 (I’ve tied so many ribbons I’ve finally started to get it right!) #loccitanemalaysia makes it easy to shop for humans 😅 at experienceloccitane.com with their L’Occitane en Demande service. Place your order, and pick up in store or have it delivered. 
Had a bit of breather today and put together a little video. Blink and miss my little monster 🐶 helping me shop! Not sponsored but I did receive a gift from L’Occitane, for which my sun-exposed, dry dog-walking skin thanks you! 
Haven’t done any Christmas shopping this year. It has only just struck me that it’s but mere days away! 😨 Have you done yours?
