Christmas Gift Guide & Best of 2009 : Smooth as fresh snow

December 3, 2009 Paris B 2 Comments

skincare_picks

What the… ??

Skin as smooth as fresh snow is what I’m going for 🙂

Skincare is always a tricky thing to get as gifts. Well, unless you already know what your friends are using and what their concerns are and what they are allergic to! Here are my picks for the best of skincare in 2009 – available in department stores and pharmacies.

For acne prone skin or oily skin:-

  • I like the Vichy Pore Refining Essence from Vichy Laboratoires – it works so well for me to reduce pores.
  • Cellnique Skin Action Serum gel is great for melting black and whiteheads and reducing spots.
  • Kiehl’s Rare Earth pore refining masque helps get rid of oil, and leaves skin feeling smooth.

For anti-aging or older skin:-

  • For a touch of luxury, I’d get Elemis – the Marine Recovery cream which is crazy awesome but it is only found at selected spas for now – notably at Mandara Spas in and around Kuala Lumpur (I know of Renaissance Hotel and Sheraton Imperial Hotel).
  • Not quite luxury but still in the expensive range of skincare is Lancome Primordiale Nuit which is an amazing night cream I like too and have for years.
  • Dior Capture XP Nuit overnight recovery serum seems to be working well for me now that I’m nearly done with the bottle!

Look Book: Classic Eyes and Sexy Lips

May 29, 2009 Paris B 14 Comments

definite cosmetics

What are classic eyes and sexy lips? A study in contrasts of course 😛

For me, a classic eye is one done with a neutral toned shadow colours tempered with black for definition whilst sexy lips call for a red toned creamy lipstick. I used a bunch of colours from Definite Makeup Cosmetics.

Classic Light Foundation

It  being a classic sort of look, I kept my foundation light. I did not want something too thick so as to look artificial. I used the Miracle Splash Liquid Foundation (RM125) which is sheer but I liked it because it was light in texture. However, if you prefer coverage, you won’t like this. I set it with some loose powder. I’d just as easily use I Nuovi Gelbase foundation for a light sheer look. I didn’t do a very good job of concealing but what the hey! 🙂

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
