In love with the Melvita Apiscoma UHT Soothing Cream for helping my sensitized irritated skin get back on track

May 22, 2017 Paris B 10 Comments

I don’t generally have sensitive or easily irritated skin, but sometimes, I do silly things to my skin that results in my skin throwing a fit. This usually results in bumpy, dry and flaky skin for me. What I’ve learned to do then, is to take it easy.

I went through one such episode recently, and unearthed from my stash the Melvita Apiscoma UHT Soothing Cream, a product I fell in love with and knew I just had to tell you about it!

Melvita is a brand you may be familiar with. It’s a French brand of certified organic skincare, with its roots in honey and the bee. My favourite product from them has been the Floral Water Mist, which is lovely, soothing and hydrating, and I also liked their Nectar Supreme La Creme moisturiser.

While the Nectar Supreme La Creme is a good cream, I do think it serve a better purpose for those with more matured skin (and slightly deeper pockets). This Apiscoma UHT Soothing Cream however, is suitable for most, and especially, those with sensitive skin or those undergoing a bout of sensitivity – it happens! 🙂

Sharing grape beauty tips and secrets from founder of Caudalie – Mathilde Thomas

“Good skincare is better than hiding behind a mask of makeup.”

Wise words, from Mathilde Thomas, founder of French skincare brand, Caudalie, when asked for her approach to beauty. I had the privilege of meeting this tall, elegant lady in the beautiful setting of Flutes, at the National Museum of Singapore, during her visit to the region, and it was insightful and inspiring.

I was there, with another 2 members of Malaysian media, to speak to her and to gain a little insight into some new and upcoming products from Caudalie, and to learn a little more about the brand, and the person behind the brand, and her approach to beauty and skincare. So join me as I speak to Mathilde Thomas 🙂

If you have a specific skin issue that needs targeting then Bobbi Brown has the Remedies

May 17, 2017 Paris B 6 Comments

Now that we all have our skincare in place, brands are coming up with boosters. These are usually products, like serums, that perform a specific function – to give your skin that boost it needs, based on what you need.

Bobbi Brown launched 6 of these targeted solutions, depending on what your skin needs. I know it feels like we were just talking about Bobbi Brown yesterday, but that was a bit of an impromptu post haha!

The Bobbi Brown Remedies come in 6 versions, to target 6 different skin problems you may face. They are:-

Skin Clarifier No. 75 – to target pores and blemishes, to balance oil and to unclog and clarify pores
Skin Reviver No. 91 – for dull, tired skin, to energize skin and protect from environmental aggressors
Skin Moisture Solution No. 86 – for dry, parched skin to help increase skin moisture factor
Skin Fortifier No. 93 – for loss of elasticity, to help repair skin barrier
Skin Relief No. 80 – for redness and irritated skin, to calm and quiet your irritated skin
Skin Salve No. 57 – for chapped and cracked skin, to protect and provide a barrier to help skin heal

A few months ago, I was sent a limited edition Bobbi Brown Remedies Recovery Rescue Kit mini set with 3 little samples, so I could have a go at them, to see what I thought. These mini sets are available for sale for a limited time in stores, so ask if they still have them, if you’re interested. As for me, here’s what I thought, after I’m almost finished with these – figured I better get going, before I had nothing left to photograph! LOL! 😀

Stumbled on the new Bobbi Brown Beauty From The Inside Out book – her new venture!

May 16, 2017 Paris B 4 Comments

I’d been curious about what Bobbi Brown has been up to since she left her eponymous brand last year. The news was that she was taking a break and working on something new.

Well, I’ve just come across news of what her new project is – a new book and approach to beauty in Beauty From the Inside Out.

I believe it’s just launched last month, and no, I don’t have it but unlike most beauty books, this is something I think I might want to buy and have a read, because she speaks about beauty coming from the inside – what you eat, your lifestyle choices, health etc and that’s something I can get behind 🙂

I’ve inserted below a couple of videos I came across about this book, that I found interesting, that you might too 🙂
