Creme de La Mer

Hi People,

For those of us,

who would like to indulge in a little luxe

applied on our faces every now and then,

Cream de La Mer is the answer!

This cream comes in beautiful green box packaging,

has a little spatula for you to use prior to application,

works only when you take a little

and place it in the palms of your hands and warm it

then pat it lightly on your face... for the

magical ingredients to work!

that is when the magic begins,

the mixture smells great and soothing,

takes your daily stress almost immediately away,

the texture gets absorbed almost instantly

and then, you will understand,

why the creme is a luxury to have

as your skin will start to behave,

you will own baby smooth skin

and healing plus recovery will start

La Mer has a cult following unlike any others in the market,

its properties extend beyond the boundaries

of repairing skin,

offering you baby smooth quality,

ironing out your lines,

acts as a fantastic primer prior to makeup

or as your best defence in dry climates.

History:

Crème de la Mer was invented by Dr. Max Huber,

an aerospace physicist who suffered severe chemical burns

when a routine experiment exploded in his face. 

Dr Huber could find no formulations on the market

to alleviate his condition,

so he focused his intellectual pursuits on developing a solution.

Twelve years and 6,000 experiments later,

Dr. Huber successfully concocted a Miracle Broth

 that is central to all La Mer products. 

The La Mer Miracle Broth consists of sea kelp,

which possesses anti-microbial properties;

the nutrients calcium, magnesium, potassium,

 iron and lecithin (helps one lose weight);

vitamins C, E and B-12;

and oils of eucalyptus, sunflower,

wheat germ, alfalfa and citrus. 

This concoction is painstakingly fermented

for three to four months to release

the vital energies of each ingredient, then distilled.

This Miracle Broth is the key component

of La Mer’s signature product, Crème de la Mer. 

Crème de la Mer produces softer, firmer, virtually creaseless skin.

  Wrinkles and pores become noticeably less visible.

 La Mer proudly touts this keystone product

as truly miraculous, and notes that this skincare miracle

and ultimate luxury has developed a devoted following.

If you prefer something lighter,

to suit our tropics and weather,

try the gel version.

Same miracle

just lighter in texture.

Tons of Celebrities & Royalty around the world

are Nuts over this Miracle Broth:

Rating: 6/5

Will I Get this again: I will buy this once in a while,

its pricey @ $300++ for 30ml

Ease of Use: Luxurious yet easy.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Hello Hons...

In light of the Christmas spirit,

pardon me for

leaving you hanging with teasers.

The product I wanted to review

is Creme de La Mer.

However, due to the festivities

and how many parties

and gatherings I got to be at

and love to be at...

This review will be in

next week,

before I travel again

for the NY Eve Party

Overseas.

In the meantime,

"Have yourself, a merry little / cosy / huge

CHRISTmas!!"

Hello

Hi Beautiful Peeps!!

I am back.

Back from my trip

and I got a red eye to deal with.

So, gimme till tomorrow

(fingers crossed I will recover)

to share with you a post

that is worth its weight

and wait!!

It is a heavenly cream

in every sense of the word.



Useful Tips for Good Skin Foundation

Hello Peeps!

I would be going away on a trip for a week.

So... there would not be any posts this period.

I will be back with them come next week Wednesday!

So look out for it!!!

In the meantime. . .

here are some of my own useful tips

to ensure your skin,

which is the foundation to YOUR ENTIRE FACE

Stays as healthy, supple and porcelain smooth as you can!

1) Always hydrate - drink lots of water a.k.a h2O as 80% of your body contains it, if you are trying to lose weight, drink a glass before meal time so that you actually intake lesser carbs BUT take only 3 to 5 sips of water around 2 hours prior to your bedtime as too much water during this period will cause the dreaded EYE BAGS!!!

2) Massages - if you can afford the time to, try to find someone (like your siblings / parents / spouse) or pay a professional to give you a good rubdown once a month, it not only relaxes and unknots the knits in your body especially around the shoulders, it allows you to firm up and tighten your body skin, giving you toned, radiant and healthy skin especially after a good scrub followed by steam / jacuzzi and then lastly, the massage! These days, a new breed of clientele has found their way to the massage palour too! SEE...

3) Detox Once In a While - Clear out your system every once in a while, I know some who do so on a weekly basis (which I personally think it is TOO OFTEN) or you may do so every month or every quarter, to detox means you take in a lot of veggies and fruits, i.e. 1 Kiwi + 1 Apple + 1 Pear / Mango (durians DO NOT COUNT) and a handful of your favourite veggies for both lunch and dinner, have them as a meal, no fried snacks, no chips, no meats, no carbs... just pure fruits and veggies. This helps to remove waste from your body, build your immune system and flush out toxins, giving you better skin!! Detox is good for your heart and makes one feel lighter!

4) Sleep & then Sleep Earlier - I am guilty of being an owl / a panda... choose whichever, due to the occassional occupation hazards of work and of late, the distractions of TV and the lure of surfing the Net and online shopping. \ >.<"/ leading to bad habits of snoozing pass midnight, I know I may thread on "sounding like your mum" but really, sleeping in before 11pm or better yet, 10pm, has a lot of benefits. Like waking up to almost ZERO dark eye rings!!! Or feeling more refreshed and alert the next morning and while sleeping, when you reach the realm of deep sleep, YOU ARE ACTUALLY BURNING AWAY FATS!!!!!! Now, how cool is that?
Kids know the power of enough rest and a good sleep, have you ever met a kid
(below 7years) with dark eye rings?
They must be doing something right.

5) Forgive & then really forget - To forgive is divine, take the opportunity of this holiday season to 'grow a bigger heart' and release whatever offences you may have with a certain someone and forgive and move on! This sets YOU free, free from past hurts (you need not re-live them) and free from the pain and anger the offence has brought you. Release and let go. It is the hardest beauty secret to achieve, yet, this IS THE BIGGEST SECRET around, a person who has forgiven, lives freely, can dance and sing and just find it that much easier to smile! And his or her world, would be that much easier. Go on. . . TRY IT!

Let 2012 be a NEW Year for you, in more ways than one!!!!!

Sephora's House Blend for Flirty Stronger Lashes!!

Hey yo hey Yo!!!

I just started using this new eye makeup remover

that is a REAL hardworker..

it has stuff added to strengthen those fragile flirty lashes

and it does a wonderous job of removing haughty waterproof mascara

in 2 swipes.

It has all the good stuff for you!!

What it is formulated WITHOUT:

- Parabens

- Sulfates

- Synthetic Fragrances

- Phthalates

- GMOs

- Triclosan

If you are like me,

who enjoys experimenting & turning all edgy

for the festive season, applying falsies & glitter

and highlighter and what not...

Ooohhh... you get the drift,

then this does a good job,

at 125ml and with a shelf life of 6 months,

this will last you approx 1.5months if you use it

everyday, using just 3 cottonpads for

removal of light / med eye makeup

and 5 cottonpads for removal of heavy eye makeup

Super safe for contact lens wearer,

promises to not cause any blurry visions

due to overdose of oil within the bottle,

so it would be suited for sensitive eyes too.

AND ALL THESE for a mere $15

and if you are travelling this Christmas,

get their 50ml travel size bottle for $10

(this is made in USA)

This do-it-all formula removes waterproof makeup and

  contains a lash-strengthening complex that's rich in flavonoids

and olive wood extracts.

Prior to using it,

shake it up and down for 5 times,

allow the mixture to blend.

This is Sephora's House Blend

and it has great properties for the functionality it provides!

I get stronger and healthier eyelashes..

all that better to make eyes at the man I love!!!

GIVE IT A TRY babes!!

You will love it. Instantly.

Rating: 5/5

Ease of Use: So Easy even a child can use.

Will I Buy it Again: Just did so, even got the travel size one.

MAC Retractable Eyeliner

HELLO Darlings... Its the most wonderful time of the year!

And it is also the time where ladies head out to shop in full force...

Simply because the Sales are all raring to go!

I headed to Sephora today to stock up on goodies

(will write on those soon!!)

And the Sephora Holiday Blockbuster is OUT OF STOCK...

the 160 colour block for only $79.00 is sold out baby!

Anyways, back to MAC...

I have not bought to try this,

this review came from a reader who is kind enough to share

and I tested this on the back of my hand only.

Graphite Black MAC retractable Eyeliner (read:no need to sharpen)

costs $29.00 and is smudge & waterproof.

Lasts like the entire day.

I saw it on this reader for an entire day

I do spend time with her and notice her sparkling eyes.

However, the downside is, it lasts 1.5months if used daily.
But it works like a charm....
I am gonna get one to try after I am done with my Relvon babies.

RATING (From Reader - Glamazon NL): 4/5

Ease of Use: As easy as colouring

Would I Buy It: Yes.

How about Luxe Soft Tresses All Year Round?

DO YOU FRET ABOUT YOUR HAIR ON MOST DAYS?

I know I do... because, our hair, serves to frame our face,

gives us that additional Oomph! Factor

and makes us look all that more alluring.

NOW before you go snipping off your locks

because you are fed up with what else you can do to it,

leave it long, esp if you have long flowing tresses,

because, with a bit of length here and there,

you have options of more styles.

Of course, those with shorter crops need not fret,

if you are up for it, there are aplenty of styling lotions / gels etc

that can assist in giving you the extra "X-factor"

for the coming holiday season

glitter is also best used this time of the year,

just for that extra glamour.

Now back to what I cannot wait to RAVE about.

I seldom go nuts and rave about a certain product

but this is so darn good!!!!!

SERIOUSLY.

For those of us that suffer from dry ends, or hair

that is quite stiff, like grass / hay

esp after heavy chemical treatments aka

perms / highlighting / colouring / rebonding

then.... this bottle of marvel magic hairspa mask

that has salon quality

will leave your hair cashmere soft

LIKE SILK..... or even better!!

Yes, I am referring to Sunsilk's NEW RANGE

found only in leading supermarts like Jason's

and bigger Watson outlets...

Costs less than $15 per bottle

smells like candy,

goes on like a dream

and leaves you with the most marvellous results

of impeccably soft and SHINY hair.

Unbelieveable!!!

So that we can all start looking like wannabe celebrities

that always seem to have perfect hair.

Like them...

Almost perfect hair...

shiny, sashaying and full of bounce!

All it takes is 5mins after applying the hairspa mask

(btw, they have it for damage hair, curls,

those who want shine and straight hair)

without applying to your roots and scalp

and VIOLA! Puurrrrfect!

Would I Buy this Again: YES!!!! Already did... WoooT!!

Rating: 5/5

Ease of Use: Recommended once a week but I am using it thrice, effect better.

Plus I cannot resist the smell.

The Apple Mask!!

Remember a couple of posts ago I told you all I just went to Seoul

and I hauled back like a TRUCKLOAD of facial masks and cleansers,

well, some of the cleansers have already been given out.

The rest of the masks, I will do a posting on each... slowly.

(mental note to self: cut down on spending!!)

I went on to buy this Apple Flesh Mask (it also acts as a soft scrub)

to try, it smells good, they have strawberry and kiwi flavours too!

Upon application, the mask went on cold and moist,

as I kept it in the fridge, you need not use a lot of it,

just a dollop comprising of a 50cent coin will suffice.

This is available at THE FACE SHOP.

Spread it evenly across your entire face, leaving out the eyezone

and mouth and then leave it for a mere 3 mins

then wash off with water.

If you like to double it up as a scrub then before splashing off,

gently rub in circular motion, over your cheeks,

forehead,nose and chin zones and then

splash off the mask.

Make sure you get everything off,

and that you tissue off your face before applying your usual

morning / evening routine prior to applying makeup / bedtime.

Would I buy this again: Maybe not. This mask does not do much for me. Even though it is suppose to have mild AHA due to fruit extracts and all but I don't see results over a period of one month. However,it is said to be filled with antioxidents and all.

Rating: 3/5 (I like the smell & how simple it is to use) costing $17.90

Ease of Use: Easy,just follow my instructions above.

LOCCITANE..All I Want is... Supple & Firm Body Skin This Christmas!!!

Hello Peeps!

I have been using this supple skin oil

for over a week. I was skeptical when I first got it.

I was like.... "eeeeeEEEE, will it make my clothes oily?"

and then I slater it on and VIOLA!! Instant love for it.

<3<3<3

The oil not only has a subtle scent of pleasant almond

but it absorbs super fast. Almost immediate.

This honey firms, tones my skin,

making it seem taut, after a week of use,

my orange peel (whatever) is almost gone!

Vanished! Hahhaha.... so happy

So give it a try. Got it at $80+

Rating: 4.5/5 Stars

Ease of Use: Easy Peasy

Would I Buy It Again: Will but not often as price is a deterrent.
