Neutrogena Celebrates 60th Anniversary with Neuwomen

Posted on July 10, 2014 by CelesteDeJesus

How often can you hang out with a beauty brand’s team to share your personal thoughts and experience? Neutrogena recently celebrated its 60th anniversary with a fun session of sharing and pampering among “Neuwomen”

neutrogena_60th_anniversary_neuwomen_pampering_event

I’ve been converted back into being a Neutrogena fan a few months ago when I tried its Deep Clean Cleansing Lotion, Deep Clean BlackHead Eliminating Daily Scrub, Deep Hydrating Mask and Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock. I’ve known Neutrogena since I was in my teens, used their acne product and found it to be very effective. I guess with the tons of beauty brands in the market, I just lost touch with Neutrogena while going through my journey of testing different brands to suit my ‘aging’ concerns.

It was happy news to be invited to Neutrogena’s 60th anniversary celebration. This private event was an opportunity for all “Neuwomen” (a term coined by the brand for Neutrogena users and fans like me) to share their experience with any of the products.

Host Joanne Kwan

The event started with lively greetings from lovely host, Joanne Kwan, who herself also shared personal skincare and beauty habits with the rest of us. It’s amazing how we, Neuwomen, found common ground with similar habits that we have, both right and wrong, when it comes to taking care of our skin, or at least trying to, haha!

Neutrogena brand manager, Grace Teoh

Neutrogena brand manager, Grace Teoh, talked more about each Neutrogena skincare range and what concern each one addresses. Grace encouraged us to share our experiences and feedback about the products that we have tried while she listened intently to what we had to say.

Cindy Teh conducting skincare pampering demo

Neutrogena had a guest speaker, Cindy Teh, a beauty specialist and makeup artist, who gave more advices and tips on how to properly use skincare products. Cindy also conducted a pampering demo where she showed best techniques step-by-step on taking care of the skin. To ensure the efficiency of the products we use, it is very important to apply each one in the right order and in the right way.

A lot of women nowadays want everything to be fast or 3-in-1 or even 7-in-1. But as Cindy reiterates, skincare is just like cooking a dish. You cannot dump all ingredients in the pot and expect it to the taste the way it should. It has to be done step by step and in the right order; otherwise, your dish wouldn’t taste right. With this, I totally agree. In the morning, I do skip some products because I’m in a hurry but I still use them step-by-step. At night, I apply my full range of 7 different items, which I religiously do as a routine. To be honest, I’m surprised when some people say that it takes too long to apply beauty products when in my 21 years of doing this (I started skincare at 13), it will only take between 10-15 minutes each time. Like Cindy, I also apply my products while watching TV at night; whatever show my son is watching. I’m a working mother so I have to manage my time in taking care of my almost-5-year-old son after work, study with him, do some house stuff, do my blog which involves taking photos — editing photos — writing an article, then spend time again with my son, get him to bed, wake up early to get him ready for school while I myself also get ready for work. But I still allot 5 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes at night for my skincare routine. I think that at this age and technology, it’s a matter of time management, or rather task management, that we all should learn. If we want to keep our skin healthy and youthful, we need to work on it, don’t we, ladies?

Neutrogena showcased their range of products during the event, including the range that I’m most intrigued about at the moment—AGELESS, Neutrogena’s Age-Fighting Solution.

Neutrogena Ageless Anti-Aging Skincare Range

I haven’t tried the Fine Fairness range yet but I’m excited to test the Brightening Serum and Brightening Cream once I finish my current whitening products. Hope these solve my dark spots (oh, sun, sun, why do you torment me so…)

neutrogena_60th_anniversary_fine_fairness_brightening_skincare

Neutrogena Fine Fairness for Brightening

All blue and looking cool, the Hydro Boost range provides optimum hydration to the skin. I’ve tried a sample of the Hydro Boost SPF30 and I loved it. It smells great and fresh, and it’s a non-sticky SPF.

neutrogena_60th_anniversary_hydro_boost_skincare

Neutrogena Hydro Boost for Skin Hydration

The Deep Clean range is best known for its cleansing efficacy, with different items that provide solution to every cleansing requirement, from makeup removal to blackhead elimination. I’ve tried several items from this range and each one is a great product that never fails to fulfill its promise of effective cleansing. I’ve tested the Deep Clean Cleansing Lotionbefore and it works great!

Neutrogena Deep Clean Skincare Range

Another product that I raved about was the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock. This is seriously a MUST-HAVE for ladies. It works great on the face and body, works great with makeup, doesn’t leave a white film, is not sticky and contains SPF50. What else can I ask for? Oh, I have 1 wish for this product: that it eventually comes in a flip top cap to save me time in the morning to unscrew and screw back.

neutrogena_60th_anniversary_ultra_sheer_non_sticky_sunblock

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Sunblock

Neutrogena came up with a variant for those with sensitive skin called Ultra Sheer Pure-Mild. Love the all-white with silver accent packaging (yeah, yeah, I’m a sucker for good presentation huh).

Cindy also conducted a makeup demo session (yep, the ladies were all eyes and ears on this one) where she revealed artist tips and tricks. Did you know that you can make your lip color stay longer with tissue + foundation + re-application of lip color? After applying your first layer of lipstick, dab it with a tissue then apply powder foundation then reapply the lip color, and voila! It will stay longer.

There were other activities like nail pampering session, video testimonial taking, which allowed the ladies to enjoy that Saturday afternoon even more.

Held at CANVAS photography studio, Neutrogena’s 60^th Anniversary was a fun-filled session with fellow women who share similar skin and beauty concerns. I think that it’s really amazing of Neutrogena to ask for and listen to what consumers have to say about their products, whether good or not very good. I had a great time discovering skincare and makeup tips from experts, and I did enjoy sharing my thoughts with other women, too.

neutrogena_60th_anniversary_ageless_eye_cream

Excited to try more Neutrogena products, especially AGELESS Eye Cream!

Although technology has come a long way and now has solutions that may provide immediate results, it still pays to take care of our skin on a daily routine basis. Like what Neutrogena says, Beauty Begins with Healthy Skin. So ladies, let’s all start on our journey to healthy skin. No shortcuts ya.

Thanks again to Neutrogena and to the gorgeous Neuwomen of our time.

Sephora Pearl Mask for Whitening and Brightening

Posted on July 6, 2014 by CelesteDeJesus

If you’re looking for a weekly treatment to complement your whitening regimen, this mask is a good item to try

sephora_pearl_mask_brightening_whitening_skincare_beauty

Brightening my skin has now become one of my aging concerns. My continuous exposure to tropical weather and driving without full black tint have done their fair share of giving my face dull areas and dark spots.

I wasn’t really into masks until I’ve tested out a few good ones recently. On my birthday last month, I received more beauty items from good friends. One of the gifts was this pack of Sephora Pearl Mask for Whitening and Brightening. Oh, excitement! Thanks, Jen!

Sephora Pearl Mask

Around RM49 per 5 pc set

(5 sheets x 25g)

Natural Origin White Pearl

The mask sheets are neatly packed in a hard plastic case. The individual sheets and the case itself are in soft pink color. The words “Pearl mask” are in metallic silver print, giving it a touch of elegance and the feeling of “brightening”.

The back of each pack contains clear instructions on how to use it. I know that most of us are already aware of how to apply the mask but I appreciate it when brands make a conscious effort to ensure that a customer or user will apply a product properly.

Each pack is also stamped with EXPIRY DATE, which is a plus for me. As an end user, I want all my beauty products to clearly indicate expiry dates and life after opening.

So how do you use the Sephora Pearl Mask:

1) Remove the mask from its sachet. The sachet comes with an easy tear cut so you just rip it open from there.

2) Apply the mask on your cleansed face.

3) Take off the mask after 20 minutes. No need to rinse.

* Apply 3 or more times a week for ideal results.

How do I look?

sephora_pearl_mask_brightening_whitening_skincare_beauty_product_review

Compared to other masks that I’ve used before, this one is a bit thicker but not uncomfortable on the face. It’s just a bit harder to adjust the holes and opening to fit properly but it’s manageable. I normally lie down while waiting for 20 minutes to finish. I’d probably watch with my son or read a magazine while waiting.

The skin feels soft and smooth after use of the mask but I don’t expect it to immediately show results of whitening and brightening with just a few applications. To me, this is just meant to complement my whitening skincare regimen but not expected to make significant improvement. Overall, it is a good mask to use 3-4 times a week while I’m using skincare products to address dull and uneven skin tone.

Sephora Pearl Mask is:

A natural fiber mask with white pearl that reduces blemishes while evening out and brightening the complexion.

What it promises to do:

This mask is enriched with natural-origin white pearl to even out skin tone and help minimize irregularities for high luminosity, creating a fresher, brighter appearance. The fiber mask perfectly hugs facial contours for better interaction between the active ingredients and the skin.

Does NOT contain:

– Parabens

What else you need to know:

This mask is quick and easy to use.

It contains Natural White Pearl that evens out skin tone.

It contains Broccoli Extract that provides clarifying properties for brighter skin.

Shizens Awards Prizes for Stand Firm Stay Firm Photography Contest

Posted on July 4, 2014 by CelesteDeJesus

It was out of passion for photography and interest in the subject that I participated in this contest. And guess what? I was one of the lucky winners.

shizens_time_resistance_eseence_beauty_anti_aging_serum

Shizens Time Resistance Essence STAND FIRM STAY FIRM

In April, so that was around 3 months ago, Shizens proudly launched their Stand Firm Stay Firm photography campaign. The “Stand Firm Stay Firm” campaign aims to display the outer beauty of women while also revealing their inner strength, which serves as an encouragement for them to stand firm within our society. It was an online contest where customers and fans stood a chance to win prizes by expressing their creativity through photos that display inner strength and outer beauty.

Hundreds of people submitted entries for the campaign, both for mobile photography and photography enthusiasts. And in the end, 10 finalists were selected/voted from each category that vied for grand and consolation prizes. I was so happy when I learned that I was one of the 10 finalists under photography enthusiasts.

My entry for Shizens Stand Firm Stay Firm Contest

My entry was this photo of myself with my precious son. I had a great time taking this photo with him, as he was very participative and supportive of what I was asking him to do.

Shizens announced the final results early in June and I was one of them! My photo landed as First Runner Up. Wee!

shizens_standfirm_stay_firm_contest_first_runner_up_photography

Winners were invited for a prize-awarding session last weekend. Held at Shizens flagship store in Level 6 of Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, the awarding of prizes included photo ops with Shizens brand manager and time for us to explore skincare and cosmetics at the store.

So what did I get as the First Runner Up?

RM1,000 cash prize as shown on the mock certificate above
RM800 cash voucher from Shizens
RM500 cash voucher from Flissco photo studio

The first thing I did was splurge on Shizens products, of course! I had RM800 to spend and I was more than happy to pick my choices. Well, I’m already in love with some of their products so I knew what to pick. And here’s my Shizens haul:

Natural Pore Nutrient Pore Foundation 12g RM228

Hydro lotion 100ml RM188

Silky Renewal Gel 50ml RM138

Replenish Nutrient Expert 30g RM380

I was very much intrigued by the foundation and I was more than happy to finally get a chance to test it. The name is very interesting and that white swirl of moisturizing nutrient visible on the foundation really makes it eye catchy. Must try!

Thanks once again to Shizens and to my friends and families who supported my son and me.

Shizens Photography Contest – GRAND PRIZE Winner

Congratulations to all the winners, especially to the grand prizewinner, Abam Mizie, who captured an amazing expression that truly represents the aim of this campaign. Great job!

The Body Shop Honey and Beeswax Hand and Foot Butter

Posted on June 29, 2014 by CelesteDeJesus

Lovin’ this butter on my skin; it’s a great body moisturizer especially at night

the_body_shop_honey_beeswax_hand_foot_butter

Here are 2 of my The Body Shop favorites at the moment: Spa Wisdom Hand & Foot butter and my Chocomania Lip Butter. But today I’m just talking about the hand and foot butter.

Nowadays, I really pay attention to moisturizing not just my face and neck but also my body. Aging takes its toll on other parts of the body, too, so I must make sure that I try to get most of it taken care of well.

I do suffer from flaky arms and legs once in a while, mostly because I’m lazy or rushing during the day to apply lotion after bathing. I only have enough time to do this at night, before going to sleep. I’ve been using body butters before going to sleep because it works well in moisturizing the skin overnight, especially since we sleep in an air-conditioned room.

Thanks to The Butterfly Project, Tammy, Illy and the rest of the sisters, I received this Honey and Beeswax Hand & Foot Butter during one of our activities as an Instagram contest prize, together with other stuff. Yay!

The Body Shop

SPA Wisdom Africa

Honey and Beeswax Hand & Foot Butter

Price: RM75 for 125ml

Made in Thailand

Life after opening: 12 months

This butter comes in a transparent jar with airtight cover, making sure it is protected and will last longer. The jar reminds me of food container and I know that I can recycle the jar after I finish the product. Nice reusable packaging.

I love the butter texture that spreads easily on the skin. Since it is a body ‘butter’, it definitely leaves a film of butter moisture so I won’t recommend this if you’re going out on a sunny day, unless you have ultra dry skin. But this is perfect for night use and you’ll wake up to smoother, softer skin all over your body.

Feels and smells great on the skin!

Give it one sniff and you’ll fall in love with the serene, sweet scent. It’s actually delicious, like something I can eat (well, I restrained myself from attempting to). I apply it at night on my arms, elbows, legs, knees, feet and on my son’s feet. It’s so easy to fall in love with this butter!

What The Body Shop says:

Pamper your hard-working hands and feet with rich hydration from an intensive moisturizing treatment with skin softening ximenia oil from Africa that will leave skin feeling soft, supple and subtly scented with our traditional Spa Wisdom™ Africa fragrance. Particularly effective on hardworking hands and feet or any very dry areas such as elbows and knees. Best for all skin types, particularly those with very dry skin.

This rich, buttery cream is inspired by African tribal spa rituals. It cares for hardworking hands and feet, and dry elbows and knees.

Moisturises
Leaves skin feeling soft and smooth
Ideal for hands, feet, elbows and knees

The HEART Inside

We work with Guide D’Espoir (meaning “Guiding Hope) because they produce some of the highest quality beeswax in Cameroon, have a strong commitment to ethical and fair trade principles and are also investing in the development of the beekeepers and their associated communities. Our trade helps provide regular employment and fair wages to approximately 1,000 beekeepers, and so benefits their household members and dependents too: about 10,000 people in total!

Eskayvie Launches Supplements for Beauty, Health & Mind

Posted on June 7, 2014 by CelesteDeJesus

Taking care of our health and mind is just as important as maintaining our skin. What steps are we doing in our daily lives to maintain youthful beauty, good health and sharp mind?

eskayvie_health_beauty_supplements_antiaging

I’m a fan of supplements and health drinks. I believe that maintaining our health is not as simple as eating good food. I’m surprised when I meet or encounter people who completely dismiss or disagree with the need of our body for additional nutrients from supplements, like my stubborn husband, haha!

With our lifestyle nowadays as compared to how people live, eat and sleep decades back, it’s not a surprise to me when doctors, dermatologists, nutritionists and other health experts reiterate the importance of taking supplements. Long time ago, people need to travel or walk the distance to find something or meet someone, as opposed to simply typing a message via WhatsApp or conducting a video meeting online for important discussions. When doing research, I remember that I spent hours, days and weeks to read, write and analyze data and reports, as opposed to typing the words in Google or buying ready reports online. When I was younger, smoking was probably limited to fathers or those of legal age. But now, smokers are everywhere and non-smokers might as well smoke too because of the exposure. In short, the way we live decades back is so different from today. We do a lot of physical and mental activities that aid in making us fit and sharp. We have cleaner air and less damaging UV rays. I honestly believe that we need to exert extra efforts to take care of our physical and psychological well-being now.

eskayvie_health_beauty_supplements_antiaging_blogger_event

Together with fellow beauty bloggers of The Butterfly Project Malaysia and Tammy Lim, I excitedly attended the introduction of supplements that will aid and enrich our health, mind and beauty. CEO Dr Syid Ayob Syid Mustafa Al-Qudri who has over 15 years of experience in alternative medicine research formulates the effective products of Eskayvie.

eskayvie_health_beauty_supplements_CEO_dr_syid

Eskayvie CEO Dr Syid Ayob Syid

Dr Syid gave the most wonderful and “easy-to-digest” scientific presentation of how their 2 amazing products, Eskayvie Redianze and Eskayvie i-Qids, enrich our health, our brain and our skin. Redianze is a convenient, powder beauty drink mix in fruit flavor that comes in sachets. It contains powerful antioxidants that fight free radicals in the body while also providing collagen that we need. I-Qids functions as a brain booster supplement that can be taken both by kids and adults. Like Redianze, i-Qids is a powder drink mix but comes in a delicious chocolate flavor.

(I’ll be sharing more about these 2 products after I’ve completed my review period.)

Eskayvie General Manager SK Wong introduced the company and shared about their mission and commitment in changing the lives of men and women not just in Malaysia but in other countries as well.

The event was hosted by gorgeous and cheerful model, Tamina, who also conducted a short quiz where lucky beauty bloggers bagged additional goodies from Eskayvie.

It was a fun and meaningful event for fellow butterflies and me. We learned a lot of scientific information about health and beauty in general from Dr Syid. I was really impressed at how the doctor was able to explain and share his knowledge in a very engaging manner where all of us were ‘all ears’. There wasn’t a dull moment while listening to the doctor. Most important was that we had a good understanding of why he formulated these products and what makes these beneficial to us and our loved ones.

I am now powering up my beauty regimen with Eskayvie Redianze while I am giving my 4-year-old naughty son the benefits of i-Qids. I am looking forward to more radiant skin and better health. As for my son, I hope he’ll get even more eager to learn his maths and languages.

Egyptian Magic Cream – Why do celebrities and models love this?

Posted on June 6, 2014 by CelesteDeJesus

There must be a good reason why this cream seems to be the rave of a lot of Hollywood celebrities and models…but I have to try it for myself

egyptian_magic_cream_for_beauty_skincare

Is it really possible for 1 cream to solve concerns on the body, face, lips, eyes and hair? I’ve heard of all-purpose cream for making salads and desert, or all-purpose flour for pancakes but an all-purpose skin cream? Hmmm, this is new to me.

My first question was, why “Egyptian”? I checked the jar, it is not made in Egypt; it’s actually made in the USA. The answer lies in the rich, influential history of the Egyptians when it comes to body care and skin care. The Egyptians are probably the most abundant in ancient practices for beauty and cosmetics. As early as the time of the pyramids or even before that, the ancient Egyptians used soaps that contain olive oil for their cleansing rituals. They also used honey to moisturize their skin and protect it from the arid climate. The scorching heat of the sun and windswept sands caused a lot of skin problems and infections for them so the Egyptians put very high importance to skincare regimen. And men even rubbed oils on their hair to fight baldness and promote hair growth!

natta_cosme_egyptian_magic_cream_for_beauty_skincare

There is no doubt that the rituals of ancient Egyptians still apply as reliable science for skincare today. The use of certain oils and honey are very beneficial to the skin and even hair. Isn’t it amazing how the ancient tradition still is a relevant practice at this age and time?

6 Natural yet Powerful Ingredients inside Egyptian Magic Cream

And so I opened my Natta Cosme box containing a carefully-bubble-wrapped Egyptian Magic Cream. The box itself is filled with paper shredding to absorb impact and protect the product from shock. It also contained tip cards indicating how to use the cream and more information.

I excitedly unwrapped and unsealed my new Egyptian Magic Cream, looking forward to know what the celebrities are raving about. The cream itself reminds me of petroleum jelly, but the Magic Cream is more solid and not very sticky like the former. The color is of light yellow wax, without fragrance or scent. It just smells of clean, fresh oil.

How do you use it?

Step 1 – Scoop out the balm

Step 2 – Gently rub the balm on your palm

Step 3 – Apply on desired area

Just to show you how the product looks like (I didn’t rub on my palm), I scooped a small amount onto the back of my hand here. At first, the product itself seems very solid but once it gets in contact with the heat of your fingers, it will melt naturally.

natta_cosme_egyptian_magic_cream_on_hand

Upon rubbing it onto the skin, here you can see that my hand has a film of moisture. The Egyptian Magic Cream is a great solution to those with dry, chapped hands. I’m the type of person who constantly needs hand cream, especially after washing my hands or the dishes or any activity that involves getting my hands wet. My hands easily get dry but applying this magic cream on my hands at night before going to sleep does magic!

Of course I gotta try it on my legs, too! Since it claims that it can be used on the body, I have to test it. I also tend to have dry skin on my legs and it can get very itchy and uncomfortable. But applying EMC on my legs calms down the discomfort and moisturizes my skin well. If you apply it during the day in this tropical weather, it might feel a bit oily so I use it at night before I sleep. We use air conditioner in our room so I really need to apply body lotion to bed. And the Egyptian Magic Cream does a great job in keeping my legs (and arms) hydrated through the night.

natta_cosme_egyptian_magic_cream_for_dry_legs_body

I also apply it on my son’s feet before he sleeps and it makes his feet even more kissable!

You can try applying it on your face, too. The Egyptian Magic Cream provides an instant hydration and gives the skin a healthy glow. Here I applied it on my face right after washing. No toner, no serums, no moisturizer. Just the magic cream. Make sure you just apply a thin film.

I didn’t need much convincing to understand why celebrities and models love this product. It’s really amazing, I discovered 8 great benefits from the Egyptian Magic Cream:

It’s multi-purpose! You can apply it on

a. Eye area

b. Lips

c. Neck

d. Arms

e. Legs

f. Hands

g. Feet

h. Hair

i. Face

It contains all-natural healing ingredients. Olive oil + honey + royal jelly + beeswax + bee pollen + propolis in 1 balm.
It’s a great moisturizer, making it a powerful anti-aging balm that works on several areas of the body and face.
It can be used on children, too!
It’s a travel companion. Since you can use it on almost everywhere on the body and you can use it on your kids, it’s simply convenient to bring the Egyptian Magic Cream with you.
If you love to go swimming, it’s a great after-sun lotion to soothe the skin and sunburns.
It simply works it magic. You’ll wake up to hydrated skin in the morning.
It gives dry hair an instant shine.

Some tips:

If you plan to use on different parts of the body, you might want to separate the balm into few containers, probably a small jar for eye area, a mini jar for the lips, a jar for face, a jar for hair use, and a jar for body.
For optimized results, dab appropriate amount on the area and follow with gentle massage to allow the balm to be absorbed faster into your skin.

So who are some of the celebrities who swear by the benefits of the Egyptian Magic Cream?

Kiehl’s Fun in the Sun with The Butterfly Project

Posted on June 2, 2014 by CelesteDeJesus

I’m terrified of the sun, kinda like in a vampire way, but to celebrate a fun day with fellow beauty bloggers with this brand, I think I will conquer my fear…

I just celebrated my XXth birthday today! I can’t believe I’m a year older. Although I’m happy and thankful with all the blessings I have in my life, I can’t deny that my skin now needs even more extra care as I age. Do you know that your skin tends to hold or retain less moisture as you get older? Do you know that environmental factors like the sun and the air can contribute to skin moisture loss? And the less moisture your skin has, there’s higher risk of premature aging? (agh, panic!)

Why do I need 24-hour no-shine fresh hydration?

Every woman needs continuous hydration throughout the day and everyday. I work in an air-conditioned office, that’s five days x 8 hours where my skin’s moisture can decline continuously. I tend to have oily combination skin so I don’t really like thick, oily moisturizers. I need a moisturizer that ensures hydration WITHOUT giving me shiny areas on the face as the day wears on.

What do I love about Kiehl’s?

I first fell in love with Kiehl’s when I tried the Blue Herbal skincare range several years back. It worked really good in addressing my pimples and acne blemishes. Kiehl’s has been around for more than a hundred years and continues to make revolutionary and scientific cosmetics. Kiehl’s is also very committed in creating better lives for the society. I have respect for this brand because of their clinical approach, and their passion and commitment to what they do.

I’m excited to learn that The Butterfly Project has a campaign this month in association with Kiehl’s! Wouldn’t it be nice to have a fun morning with fellow beauty bloggers who love Kiehl’s while sipping ice cool drinks and trying out the new Ultra Facial Oil-Free Gel Cream?

I want to join The Butterfly Project team this weekend to celebrate Fun in the Sun with Kiehl’s! I hope I’m not too old for it…and I’m sure we don’t need to wear 2-piece beach outfits to feel the fun of summer!

Dior and Women’s Weekly present Makeup Masterclass Workshop

Posted on May 31, 2014 by CelesteDeJesus

What do I expect from a makeup workshop? Let’s see if this one passed my expectations…

dior_beauty_makeup_workshop_lipstick_eye_primer_mascara

I’ve always been interested to attend makeup workshops. Although I’ve been wearing makeup since I was 16, starting with simple eyeliner at first, I know that there are new techniques, tips or tricks based on latest makeup trends and technology to learn. So when I discovered that the Malaysian Women’s Weekly and iconic DIOR are hosting a makeup master class, I got excited and I quickly signed up! How often would I get a chance to have this Dior experience?

dior_beauty_makeup_workshop_womens_weekly_malaysia

Like a lot of ladies who fall in love with French designer brands or all designer brands, I am also mesmerized by Dior products. I don’t have a lot of it, though. My only Dior product at the moment is a Dior Addict lipstick. There’s just something about the luxury of owning a designer item that appeals to us. And I do have respect and desire for Dior skincare products as well…one day, I will have more of those…one day.

Guests were welcomed by an array of delicious, healthy breakfast (you can see what we ate on the latter part of this article). Dior Chief Makeup Artist, Matt Ng, conducted the makeup master class together with his team of makeup artists, in Hilton Kuala Lumpur. It was a beautiful Saturday morning and all of us ladies were excited to hear what Matt had to share.

dior_beauty_makeup_workshop_artist_skincare_class

Matt began with a step-by-step guide in preparing the skin for makeup. What some people forget is that the condition of our skin affects how makeup achieves its best. On this portion, we had the chance to try and apply Dior’s luxury skincare products on ourselves, a choice between Capture Totale and Hydra Life. Since I go for anti-aging, I chose Capture Totale while those who preferred hydration used Hydra Life, meant for moisturizing the skin.

dior_beauty_makeup_workshop_mirror_booklet

I loved that we were all provided with a Dior mirror each while we conduct our own ‘pampering’ or skincare application. And we also have a handout or booklet to follow Matt’s tips and to write some notes.

Here are some of the products I used…

dior_beauty_makeup_workshop_anti_aging_skincare

I really loved the Dream Skin, which is an anti-aging treatment that also works as a skin perfector. It works instantly and over time to make the skin more youthful, to reduce spots and redness, and to minimize pores!

dior_beauty_makeup_workshop_dream_skin_anti_aging

Dior Capture Totale Dream Skin

One of the disappointments I get with some workshops is the condition of the products to be used directly on the face. I don’t like testing products in a workshop that are obviously ‘old’ or have been used as a tester for a long time. I believe that if a brand really wants consumers to have a good experience with their products, it is a MUST to showcase products in good, fresh condition. But guess what, during this workshop with Dior, the products were mostly NEW, unopened ones, especially for skincare. I’m impressed.

dior_beauty_makeup_workshop_capture_totale

Dior used new products at the workshop

When it comes to applying makeup at a workshop, I’m not really comfortable with sharing makeup tools. Say that I’m fussy or whatever, but I’d rather be safe and hygienic than sorry and infected. A lot of skin diseases can be transferred physically and I also wouldn’t want other people to get anything from me, if I do have something. This is why a daily brush cleanser is important for makeup brushes. But contrary to my bad experience, Dior executed this workshop flawlessly. They provided makeup brushes or disposable tools like cotton buds and spatula for everyone. This is how a workshop should be.

dior_beauty_makeup_workshop_loose_powder_and_brush

So we continued with the workshop, going through application techniques for primer, concealer, foundation, skinflash, eye primer, eye shadow, eye liner and mascara. I probably missed something, we had so many exciting products to test. I fell in love with Diorshow Maximizer, the lash-plumping serum.

Matt also revealed their new IT collection with limited edition colors and, of course, the new Dior Addict Fluid Stick. This new lip item is a hybrid of the best-selling qualities of Dior lip products: lipstick, lip gloss, lip stain and lip balm. You get that pop of color, a touch of gloss, the comfort of lip balm and the long-wear of stain. I’m not a fan of lip gloss because of the sticky feeling but this fluid stick feels great on my lips.

dior_beauty_makeup_workshop_lipstick_fluid_stick

To complete the look and overall appeal, we also sprayed Dior perfumes, a choice between Dior J’Adore and the new Dior Addict EDP. I chose the latter.

So here’s my look before and after application of Dior skincare and makeup, all by self-application…

dior_beauty_makeup_workshop_before_and_after

It was truly a beautiful Saturday morning! And I got to bring home a goodie bag with these goodies! That includes a full-size, not deluxe sample or tester, of Dior’s new Fluid Stick.

dior_beauty_makeup_workshop_goodie_bag_with_lipstick

Did this workshop pass expectations then? YES, it did, beyond. I congratulate Dior and Malaysian Women’s Weekly for planning and conducting this workshop successfully. To me, this is workshop done right. The brand and products were presented very well and aligned to what an iconic designer label should be. Guests were treated as premium customers with good food and good environment. Products, testers and tools were all in good or new condition. No hard selling, just focused brand presentation and experience. Even the parking fee at Hilton KL was settled by the team for us. And to top it all, for a small workshop fee of RM60 per guest, we received all that plus a goodie bag worth over RM100.

Here are some of the yummy food we enjoyed at Hilton Kuala Lumpur:

Thanks and congratulations to Dior and Women’s Weekly. Hope we’ll have more of this kind of workshops with you.

Dior Addict Fluid Stick enables a flawless application in a single sweep: the high-impact colour and long wear of a classic lipstick, combined with the shine of a gloss, all in a thin film that delivers sensational comfort. Colour and shine come together as one for maximum impact with intense, long-wearing lip stain pigments directly encapsulated in spheres of gloss. Dior Addict Fluid Stick does not contain wax, but water for maximum lightness, an immediate fresh effect and addictive comfort…

A pure object of desire: the illusion is maintained until the case is opened and an applicator emerges that is steeped in colour and as precise and easy to use as a lipstick.

16 explosive shades like so many flashes of brilliance. Resolutely Dior, Terribly couture…

Price:

Dior Fluid Stick – RM102

Departmental stores, selected cosmetic boutiques and Sephora

Fight pigmentation with Clinique Dark Spot Corrector & Brightening Cream

Posted on May 18, 2014 by CelesteDeJesus

My concern for my dark spots and uneven skin tone has brought me to test Clinique products for the first time

clinique_even_better_dark_spot_corrector_brightening_cream

With the kind of weather that we have in Malaysia, it’s quite inevitable to face the dark truth about having bright, sunny days — skin darkening and pigmentation. Don’t get me wrong; it’s not ‘dark skin’ per se that I’m worried about. I believe that every woman is beautiful in her own skin, no matter what color. It’s those dark spots and discolourations that I’m concerned with. Sun exposure and aging can cause uneven pigmentation and unsightly spots on our body and, worse, on our face.

I recently hunted for a product with dark spot correcting properties as I’ve developed some spots on my cheeks. It might have been there for some time now but it has become noticeable and I’m on ‘panic’ mode. And I think it’s about time I try a brand or product that has some strong clinical background. After all, it takes good science to combat and repair pigmentation. So I decided to try Clinique for the first time.

clinique_even_better_dark_spot_corrector_box

The Clinique Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Corrector (RM245 for 30mL) is packed in a light green box with the logo in silver stamp. The cap has a silver seal to ensure that you purchased a new, unopened product.

clinique_even_better_dark_spot_corrector_foil_seal

The dark spot corrector is dispensed from the bottle with a fine pump. It works well to dispense just the right amount to apply on the face.

clinique_even_better_dark_spot_corrector_skincare_beauty

clinique_even_better_dark_spot_corrector_beauty_skincare

The dark spot corrector is a light, white translucent gel that is easily absorbed by the skin. Because it is 100% fragrance free, don’t expect any scent, just clean and simple on your face. Although I enjoy skincare products that have mild, pleasant scent, I don’t mind it being fragrance-free. It is meant to be suitable for those with sensitivity to whitening or evening products.

I’m someone who enjoys reading product inserts, like this one that comes with Clinique Dark Spot Corrector. Let me share some important notes…

Clinique Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Corrector

Meet the damage eraser. Clinical studies confirm that its patented formula with CL-302 Complex dramatically helps reverse the appearance of dark spots, age spots, skin stresses and darkening from blemish marks, starting in 4 weeks.

What improvement can you expect and when will you see it?

Lots of variables affect how quickly you’ll start to see results — degree of pigmentation, medications, stress and UV exposure all play a part. Generally, it takes 4 weeks of twice daily use to see measurable results. Be patient.

In 1-2 weeks – skin seems brighter, feels smoother
In 4 weeks – dark spots are visibly diminished
In 12 weeks – you’ll see dark spots dramatically reduced

I love this honest statement written on the insert/ leaflet: “Sorry, but freckles you were born with are forever. Does not correct melasma (mask of pregnancy).”

How to use the Dark Spot Corrector:

Twice daily, cleanse, gently exfoliate, then apply the dose from 2 pumps all over the face. Apply a moisturizer. Daily sunscreen of SPF15/ PA++ or higher is imperative.

Life after opening is 24 months.

As I mentioned before, no single product can work alone. Skincare products work with other products in our entire skincare regimen. To maximize the result for brightening my dark spots, I also got the Clinique Even Better Brightening Moisture Gel Cream.

clinique_even_better_brightening_cream_skincare_beauty

Like the dark spot corrector, Clinique Even Better Brightening Moisture Gel Cream (RM175 for 50mL) is packed in a light green box with the logo in silver stamp. The cap also has a silver seal to ensure that you purchased a new, unopened product.

The moisture gel cream jar has a secondary cover to preserve the cream from dust and other elements when you open it. The white plastic cover is embossed with Clinique logo and has a small finger handle for easy opening.

The gel cream is a white, light texture that easily blends on the skin and does not leave a sticky feeling. It is also 100% fragrance free, allergy tested and formulated for Asian skins. This gel cream feels great on the face and blends well with my daily sunblock. Some whitening products can be too harsh, specially when applied on the neck, but this Clinique Brightening Gel is also suitable on my neck.

Clinique Even Better Brightening Moisture Gel Cream

Oil-free brightening gel cream supplies refreshing, all-day hydration for oilier skins. It is formulated to be a year-round source of refreshing all-day hydration. It helps visibly reduce dark spots and discolourations, bringing new clarity to the skin. Skin-fortifying ingredients help strengthen skin’s resistance to future darkening.

How to use the Brightening Moisture Gel Cream:

Twice daily, cleanse, gently exfoliate, apply toner then serum/ spot corrector. Apply the brightening moisturizer all over the face. Daily sunscreen of SPF15/ PA++ or higher is imperative.

The ultimate question…DOES CLINIQUE WORK FOR ME?

I know that the Clinique Dark Spot Corrector needs at least 4 weeks to see results on dark spots but I wanted to check my spot improvement in as early as 2 weeks. I am patient but I am also excited.

Compare my cheeks before (left) and after (right) 2 weeks:

clinique_even_better_dark_spot_corrector_brightening_cream_skincare_beauty

LEFT: Before using Clinique Dark Spot Corrector and Brightening Cream

RIGHT: After 2 weeks of using Clinique

It is a small improvement but there was improvement in 14 days! So, YES, Clinique products are working on my skin. Take note that I am using the dark spot corrector and brightening cream together with a sunblock product.

Here’s how my skin looks with makeup over Clinique:

Let’s start fighting those dark spots!
