I had so much fun doing empties posts but realised I mostly only managed to finish anything after about 2 months. However, July was an exception!
I’m on a roll! 😀 Here’s what they are, with quick recaps of what I thought of them.

If you have been eagle-eyed you might have noticed a new iteration of the L’Oreal White Perfect range at the local pharmacies – L’Oreal White Perfect Laser. The products, currently just the Essence and Day Cream, are housed in metallic deep blue packaging and the formula has been improved so the effects are now reportedly equivalent to that of getting laser treatment.
One word: Wow!
Ok 2 words: Wow, really?!
“Some cosmetic ingredients can be as efficient as IPL” said Ms. Elisabeth Bouhadana, Scientific Communications Director of L’Oreal Paris International who is based at the L’Oreal offices in Paris. Ms. Bouhadana spoke to some of the local media via video conference a little while ago about this new range, and answered some questions like “Can using skincare compare to laser treatments?” and “Why does the day cream only have SPF19?” I’ll share some of her insights here 🙂

I was clearing out my skincare products over last weekend, tossing out expired products and rearranging the ones I am using most regularly. Have you done so? If you haven’t, it’s a good idea to take stock once in a while, especially if you have a few opened products. Sometimes, products may expire before you realize it as I learnt to my detriment. A nice cream looked like curdled milk so even though it smelt ok, I wasn’t putting it anywhere near my face 😛
It was then that I realized that I’m about halfway through bottle #2 of my Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate! The dark bottle makes it hard to notice the dropping levels. It’s been about 2 years now since its been out ans as you can tell, it lasts and lasts… Have you used it? Here’s a few ways I like to use the MRC – one of the very few staples in my skincare routine 🙂

Many years ago, when Kanebo Impress was first launched, I tried some products from the range. I declared myself Impressed! Well I was, truly. But I also realised later that some of the products were breaking me out a little, particularly the Impress Emulsion. I picked it up in II which was too rich and I had a full sized bottle that I eventually gave to a friend who naturally loves me for life haha… 😛
The Kanebo Impress Brightener is one of the later introductions into the Impress skincare range, launched a couple of years down the road. I was using the Kanebo Sensai Quick Radiance before, but when I used up the last drop (yes I actually do finish skincare 😛 ) I was told it was discontinued and replaced with this one – Kanebo Impress Brightener.
When I did my review on the Diorsnow Wipe Off Gel Exfoliator, I mentioned that I was using a Japanese product that performed a similar exfoliating function. Well, this is it 🙂
