New in August: Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Cream, Revlon Photo Ready Foundation, Clarins Shaping Facial Lift Serum, Crabtree & Evelyn Rose Essence skincare and Gerard Butler for L’Oreal Men

August 7, 2010 Paris B 33 Comments

Hello Ladies!

Here we are at the start of another brand new month and can anyone believe its August already? Its at this point we go “Where has the year gone?!” On a happy note, it takes me just that bit closer to my birthday hehe… So let’s check out what’s new in August 2010.

Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Cream

Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Cream reformulated
  • Save

Probably the only eye cream I ever liked enough to repurchase – twice! Now comes in a reformulated version. Still RM190 a bottle that will last you a long long time. I haven’t used ANR eye cream for a while. Might this be my return?

Go down to MidValley Megamall from August 8-16 2010 and get a free skin consultation and learn how to get beautiful eyes in 3 simple steps. Psst! See if they have samples of the Advanced Night Repair Serum too. I love that too!

Advanced Night Repair Eye Cream – RM190/15ml

Revlon PhotoReady liquid foundation

Revlon Photoready liquid foundation
  • Save

You might have seen this around the internet already, but its here! The new Revlon PhotoReady liquid foundation that promises poreless airbrushed skin in any lighting. Comes with photochromatic pigments that diffuse light to hide your flaws and is full coverage yet lightweight with SPF20 and an oil free formula.

Interesting wot? Comes in 5 Asian friendly shades. Check it out at the Revlon promo booth at KLCC Park Mall (outside Guardian at concourse level). Then come back and let me know what you think 🙂 Haven’t seen this yet myself.

Revlon PhotoReady liquid foundation – RM65

Clarins Shaping Facial Lift Lipo-Drain Serum

  • Save

A new formula of Clarins’ popular face shaping serum. Used with the special Clarins method of lymphatic drainage, it promises to “lift” your skin, reduce puffy skin and streamline your facial contours so you look good from any angle.

I had a facial at the Clarins salon once where the therapist told me about this (before it was reformulated) and I must say I did see almost instant results after the facial (she only did half my face) but then when you’re lying down, the effects are easier to see. I believe there’s an online contest ongoing (saw it from a mag) so go to www.clarins.com.my and see what its all about.

Clarins Shaping Facial Lift Lipo-Drain Serum – RM225/50ml

Crabtree & Evelyn Rose Essence Skincare Collection

  • Save

I got a mailer about the new Rose Essence Skincare Collection from Crabtree & Evelyn. Its out in stores now and I popped by to take a look and a sniff. It smells of fresh roses (not so much of the powdery rose scent thank goodness) but its a bit strong. Didn’t have time to check it out properly but if you have, do share!

Gerard Butler for L’Oreal Men Hydra Energetic

gerard butler loreal men hydra energetic
  • Save

Alright, not quite something new in the cosmetic line, but here’s something that might get women flocking to buy L’Oreal Hydra Energetic for the men in their lives. If Gerard Butler uses it (and endorses it) it should be good enough for the regular man right?! 😉 Move over Daniel Wu you have competition! Me, I dig neither so men in my lives will just have to use whatever I throw at them 😛

Enjoy the weekend ladies!

    I tested Photoready in Australia but thought it was so-so. Had some shimmer in it and it felt a little heavy too. The Clarins serum looks interesting. I’ve always had a fat face and was told that it could be caused by water retention… good grief, why on my face, I don’t know.

    I bought PhotoReady in Guardian for RM55, I think they still have the discount now. It’s a wee bit shimmery for my liking, I feel like I am Edward Cullen-under-the-sun when I wear it 😀 Tried to mix with ColorStay, but no luck either 🙁

        haha paris you are quick! and thank goodness its Nude or else i would have felt ripped off. =/ bought mine recently during a trip to Melbourne and it was so so overpriced there! i think i paid about 36AUD !! >.< and i use it in the the shade Shell. but once mine finishes i will cry because i think its such a fab drugstore foundation! and i doubt you will find a match because i think you are as fair as me if not fairer. i don't understand why Revlon doesn't bring in the lighter shades. the same thing for colorstay, the lightest color here is sand beige but i use it in buff! =(

          Oh dear I was hoping Nude would be a good match. I guess they had to cater to the majority of the population. Will take a look at it when I have the chance to – thanks for the update 🙂

            Hmm well, I wear 003 Shell and I am #117 in MUFE HD, #774 for Shu uemura nobara cream cover stick and Chanel Teint innocence #10 Albatre. Don’t know if that helps? =P But good luck in finding a match and i can’t wait to hear what you think of it!

              Hmm… it would appear I should be a #774 in the Nobara stick foundation too (or thereabouts) so I’m guessing you and I should take the same shade 🙂

    it’s my birthday today! hehe! and guess what, lancome actually sent me a birthday wishes message, and told me to go collect my present from metro mid valley. now THATS a customer loyalty programme man!

    i’ve been having really good skin days lately..the only thing i wish to get rid of is my pimple scars. sigh. they’ve turned into pigmentation. i dont have raised or pitted scars, just discoloured ones, and they really make my skin look bad since i have such pale skin it is darn obvious.

    so said, the revlon photo ready foundie looks good! i shall go to klcc to check it out! thanks for the tip Paris!

    Gerald Butler!!!! *swwwooooon*

    I’ve tried the Revlon’s Photo Ready foundie and it’s really not suitable for thosw with oily skin. It has this shimmery look to it, making anyone look like a flashing disco ball 🙁 Not the one for me.

      Ok there’s definitely love-hate going on with this foundation – makes me uber curious! Luckily (or not) I don’t have oily skin so perhaps it might work? lets find out soon 😀

    Ooo spotted the Revlon photoready in Tropicana City Mall’s Guardian a few weeks ago. The shimmer is hardly noticeable. I think perhaps if we set the foundation with loose powder, the oil and shimmer might not be a problem. But the price! I am so tempted to try it, but I have so many foundations, I dont know what to do with them!

      I’m now rather curious about PhotoReady after reading all the bits about how shimmery it is. Its quite fascinating considering how flat Clarins Everlasting is so maybe mixing the two will be a match made in heaven 😛

      Now that you mention it, I seem to recall them having skincare although as you said, I didn’t try it before it disappeared. Hope this time will be different 🙂

      Not sure if it’ll be suitable for hyperallergy skin – best to do a patch test first.

    Hi, Paris, can you do a review on Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Cream. Knowing that Lancom also release new eye cream: Genifique Yeux Youth Activating Eye concentrate. Thinking to buy a eye cream but not sure which brand to buy.

      Hi Tracy, if I do get the EL ANR eye cream, I will be sure to review it. As of now, I’m not quite sure yet. I haven’t tried Lancome’s Genifique eye cream although I did see it being sold. I can only tell you that I liked the EL ANR one many many years ago, so personally I might stick with it 🙂

    i tested the Photoready foundation in guardian, it’s too shimmery, even my camera phone could picked up the shimmery particles, O.O read a lot of review saying it’s not suitable for oily skin cause the shimmers makes you look like a grease ball…. oh well~ looks like i will have to pass… XD

      If its as shimmery as everyone says it is, I’m sure oily skin will not benefit from it. Which makes me glad that I don’t have very oily skin! 😀 Also, I’m wondering if people are applying it thicker than they should and therefore picking up more shimmer? Still, I’ll be sure to update if I do try it 😀

    I love the Revlon Photo Ready foundation! I have been using it every day for over a week now and I like the lighter feel compared to Color Stay. I didn’t notice any shimmer but reviews did mention that you might seem more ‘glowy’ which isn’t so great for pictures but great for real life. I don’t have oily skin, just normal skin so perhaps that is why. Am loving it so more for me! 😀

      More contradictory experiences! Definitely getting my interest 🙂 I’m not oily too so perhaps I may like it as you do 🙂
