Elemis – Collagen Marine Anti-Aging Luxury Skincare

March 12, 2009 Paris B 20 Comments

When you hit the big 3-0 suddenly you start wearing your skin looser. Suddenly, late nights start to take their toll and your skin starts looking dull and tired and ohmygoodness! Is that a fine line I see on my forehead/ around my eyes / around my mouth?

Not that I’m not enjoying being in my 30s. I’m having more fun in my 30s than I ever did in my 20’s so yay to all 30-somethings! 😀

When I was introduced to the Elemis luxury brand of anti-aging skincare which originates from the UK, I was more than a little intrigued and not a little sceptical. Was this going to be another La Mer fiasco for me? I have used La Mer Creme before – it did zilch for my skin and instead turned me into a zit battleground from which I’m still bearing the scars of war.

elemis skincare

Elemis is a brand from the UK that started out by being sold in spas. I call them a luxury skincare brand because their prices are steep and out of reach of the masses but I might find myself saving up for one or two products that have done wonders for me. If you are in your 20s or early 30s then it is too early to use anything anti-aging and Elemis will not be for you – its not bad for you but its just wasted on your young skin. But if you are mid-30s and up, then Elemis might be something you could be wanting to save up for.

The star product for me and it would appear, for many people is the Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream.  Continue Reading

Review: Skincare: Garnier Skin Naturals Light Whitening Infusion Tissue Mask

May 24, 2008 Paris B 17 Comments

I was traveling all day yesterday the length and breadth of the country… ok its a slight exaggeration but I was on the road for most of the day under the hot sun (thank goodness I had my sunscreen applied liberally!). When I got home in the evening, I was dog tired. After my shower, my eyes fell on this Garnier Skin Naturals Light Whitening Infusion Tissue Mask I’d had on my dresser for a while.

I decided on a whim to try it to see what it was like. So, after cleansing my face, I opened up the foil pack and spread the mask on my face. Unfortunately, I cannot find any information about the Garnier Skin Naturals Light range online except for this old article. From what I can tell by an online search, the Garnier Light range is targeted at the Asian market where all whitening ranges are targeted. Continue Reading

Tip: Home Remedy: Make an Aspirin mask

February 22, 2008 Paris B 10 Comments

I don’t take aspirin for headaches or pains – it isn’t common here in Malaysia where paracetamol is usually more popular. That said, I learnt of a useful tip of using aspirin as a facial mask and here is my recipe for the aspirin mask.Continue Reading

Review: Skincare: Kanebo Impress Concentrate Mask N

November 16, 2007 Paris B Leave a Comment

I have been wanting to try something from the new Kanebo Impress line. I got my opportunity when I went for my regular facial and purchased the Kanebo Impress Concentrate Mask N.

The mask comes in a sealed foil pack with one Impress essence soaked paper mask inside it. When you open the foil packet, be careful because there is quite a lot of excess liquid.

The mask is a regular paper mask that you unfold and then apply onto your face. I find that chilling it in the fridge for a couple of minutes makes it feel more relaxing as its then very cool.

The essence has a slight scent that isn’t unpleasant. The texture has a slightly slimy feel to it, but in a good way. It feels nice and cool on the skin and you can leave it on for up to 20 minutes. After that, any excess liquid/essence can be used on your neck or arms so as not to waste it.

I found that my face felt awesomely soft after using this. It did feel rather sticky though and I found that rather off-putting. In an air-conditioned room however, it was nice because then your skin doesn’t feel dried out. I follow up with the usual toner and night moisturiser. The skin feels and looks glowy the next morning, which was great. I don’t know if the effects get better with more regular use though I would expect so.

One piece of mask retails at RM55 and a whole box of 6 is RM330. Pricey but I’d say it’s quite regularly priced for a product of this nature from a department store brand. Available at all Kanebo counters that carry the Impress line and all Kanebo beauty salons.

Pros: Feels nice, skin looks glowy

Cons: Scent, stickiness, expensive

[rating:4/5]
