Payot's newest launch of Expert Purete

Payot (not pronounced as Pay-yot but Pah-yo, with a silent T) recently launched their newest skincare range called Expert Purete which is a new generation of expert care for clear, purified and radiant skin!

This range is a customised solution that fits combination to oily skin profile at any age (*bells ringing* this is sooo for me because I have combination/oily skin)

Expert Purete is a new approach to skin's health and beauty that aims to deliver not only absolute effectiveness but also pleasure. A line formulated and tested under dermatological control, non comedogenic, based on a careful cutting-edge selection of active ingredients deliberately chosen for their effectiveness and cutaneous tolerance.


The model is so gorgeous.
I really think she looks like Sophia Bush.


"My shiny skin is over, my dilated pores have gone"
After reading that tag line, I couldn't wait to try the products to see how effective it is on my oily skin!












Ms. Aurelia, International trainer of Payot flew all the way from Paris for the launch.


She introduced the range of products and we were welcomed to try out the products.


Each of us were given a set of skincare samples, mirror, headband, towel, tissue and cotton pads to prep ourselves for a hands-on experience.


The samples that we were about to try out.


Firstly, cleansing milk to cleanse our makeup.


Put on my headband and starting cleansing my face.


Next is tone to balance skin's ph.


The toner has a very lovely scent. In fact, all the products in this range smell very fruity =)


Masque Purifiant (RM150 for 50ml)
The exfoliating matifying mask.


Imagine all the girls looking like this hehe
This product can either be used as a mask or as an exfoliator and because it has 7% AHA esters, during sun exposure, we need to protect the skin with sunscreen.
I absolutely love the mask because it does not dry up the skin but eliminates impurities and smoothes skin surface.


Elixir Purete
Purifying Detoxifying Essence.
It is very lightweight and absorbed very quickly into skin.


Expert Points Noirs (RM150 for 30ml)
Unclogging pores care.
This is a very refreshing cream gel with 3 levels of action to fight blackheads. It deep cleanses the skin, unclogs and retightens the pores.


Creme Matifiante Velours (RM195 for 50ml)
Moisturising matifying care.
'Velour' means velvet and true to its name, after application, my skin felt velvety and matte and non-shiny.


Sun Sensi Cream Visage SPF50+ (RM169 for 50ml)
This sunscreen is light, invisible and non -greasy for long-lasting protection.


Results: Non-oily, non-shiny and non-greasy skin! YAY!
I promise you even after layering all the moisturisers and the sunscreen, my skin is still matte and not oily. It does not dry up the skin as well, which was purrrfeecctttt!!
And yes, the reason why my eye makeup was still on is because all products were not suitable to remove eye make-up and so I managed to get around my face without touching the eye area hahaha

With the evergreen Ms Aurelia.
She's so gorgeous with minimal make-up.


Group picture!


Payot's Expert Purete will be available from next month onwards!
If you have combination/oily skin, I totally recommend this range for you =)

Cellnique Ultimate Calming and Hydrating Airy Masque(plus a discount!)

Cellnique has recently introduced the new Age Defying Whitening Airy Masque and Ultimate Calming and Hydrating Airy Masque into their range of skincare.

I love masking, it's my favourite thing to do during the weekends! And thanks to Cellnique, I am thrilled to be able to get my hands on the Ultimate Calming and Hydrating Airy Masque.

Infused with Day Lily Flower Extract and redness-relieving botanicals, Ultimate Calming and Hydrating Airy Masque provides intensive moisturizing and soothing care to dehydrated, overstressed skin(yep, that's mine!)

It replenishes moisture to skin and helps restore skin’s balance. The effect is instant and you can immediately feel refreshed and skin becomes soft, luminous and supple.

Some of the benefits include:
• Calming and Soothing
• Anti-oxidant/Free radical scavenger, prevent signs of aging
• De-stress skin
• Brighten skin tone

A box of 5 pieces of masks






Each masque is composed of three layers of which the middle layer is the airy masque.
Remove the blue layer and place the essence layer on the face.


Remove the plastic layer and leave only the essence layer for 15 minutes.


One good thing is that the masque is transparent and you will not scare people =p
Of course, it's a perfect fit as well!


After 15 minutes, you will realise the masque is drying and the essence have been fully absorbed into your skin, which is great! After taking the masque off, gently pat dry the remaining essence into skin.


BEFORE


Right after taking the masque off.
Instant effect!
You will realise my skin is more hydrated and my skin tone is brighter.
Although it does produce a bit of shine due to the essence, which is not good for oily skin people, but it could be washed off after awhile since the essence have already been absorbed into skin.


Left- BEFORE                             Right- AFTER
My pores have become smaller and my skin brighter looking and more hydrated
My skin felt smoother too and it definitely has a soothing effect to my skin.


The effect even lasted until the very next day because before going to work the next day, it was so easy to put on my makeup as it just glided easily on my smoother skin.


The Ultimate Calming and Hydrating Airy Masque retails at RM129 per box of 5 pieces.
Purchase your very own  at http://www.cellnique.my/
If you purchase online, there's free shipping + sample + reward points.
Further, as my reader you will get an RM5 discount!!

Nivea In Shower Intensive Skin Conditioner

You know how companies are striving hard to come out with new innovations all the time? I was very intrigued with Nivea's newest innovation...and no, they did not sponsor me to write this. I just wanted to share how awesome is this In Shower Intensive Skin Conditioner!


It is the 1st rinse-off body lotion.
How cool is that?




I bought the whitening one for a radiant skin. Nowadays, I'm all about the glow and the radiance and the whitening haha

So let me tell you, I was just intrigued because I thought we already have shower gel and we have body lotion. What more could this 'skin conditoner' do?

But to my surprise, it was really moisturising!! I absolutely loved it just after one use. And it was so easy, just put on your normal shower gel, rinse off, apply this skin conditioner and rinse off and your skin would feel baby soft. I am not kidding. And I am not a fan of sticky body lotion so this was perfect. Because I could rinse the conditioner off, my body did not feel sticky yet it was so soft =)


And in Nivea's whitening range is the UV whitening body lotion, which I am also using ^^


Couple the skin conditioner with this body lotion and you might just get a super soft, radiant fair skin =) 
Of course, I have only been using them a couple of times, so I would need more times to see better results.

The Amazing Spider- Man 2

I was quite skeptical when the first 'The Amazing Spider-Man' came out because it was starring Andrew Garfield. I was so used to seeing Tobey Maguire as Spider-Man that I thought a new string of sequel with a new Spider-Man is not going to do it justice. And yes, the first 'The Amazing Spider-Man' didn't entertain me at all. In fact, here was my previous review!

Okay since Sandman didn't make an appearance and it was Electro starring Jamie Foxx, I thought maybe I should give it another try. Luckily, they did it right this time! I loved it! Totally a different storyline and though the main villain is Electro, there was so much other thing going on as well. So, it was not just static on Spider-Man saving the world.




Of course, no doubt the love story between Spider-Man and Gwen Stacy was quite the centre of attraction. I am a total sucker of great love stories and I thought it was portrayed very well in this movie. Not to mention Andrew Garfield is pretty good looking alongside flawless Emma Stone. They really do make a great couple on and off screen.




The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is a must watch all the more if you were the comic fan before. It was pretty worth it as well with the movie running for 2 hours plus.

My rating: 4 stars

Mummy's Day

Although I am definitely a daddy's girl, but I am super close and super manja towards my mummy also hehehe *clingyness alert*

I hope all of you are spending time with your mothers on this special occasion though I know every day should be mother's day.

Happy Mother's Day to all mothers out there...I hope you are spoilt by your children today. I doubt I have any mummy readers though hehe

But to my irreplaceable mummy, I love you to the moon and back xoxo

Decleor Life Radiance Energising Vitamin Cure

I have found a magic potion!
Like seriously, this is the fastest serum to ever produce results!

It is Decleor's Life Radiance Energising Vitamin Cure.
After three years' research combining the study of the cutaneous mechanisms and its expertise in natural active ingredients, Decleor has discovered two active ingredients capable of boosting the skin's natural defences: Saro Essential Oil and Plant Prebiotic. Decleor proudly introduces its Signature Cure to combat tired skin and renew dull complexion and to boost skin's vitality in, get this, only TEN DAYS!!


This effective booster provides an active micro-circulation and protection from free radicals which slows down the skins oxidation and ageing process, hence, evens out the complexion and oxygen to restore the skin’s natural radiance. This active treatment leaves skin visibly radiant and even, with a luminous, healthy-looking glow with immediate and lasting radiance in just 10 days.




10ml bottle that:
-re-energises the epidermis (Vitamin C)
-smoothes and instantly reduces signs of fatigue (AHA Fruit Complex)
-improves the skin texture (Micro-algae)
-promotes oxygenation and tightens the skin (Essential Oils of Lemon and Grapefruit, Lupin Lipopeptides)


To use: Press firmly on the white plunger to release the Vitamin C.
Then shake well.


Pull the white plunger and replace with the given cap for drops.


Use 7-8 drops per use and apply with light sweeping strokes all over the face.


Apply morning and night, before moisturiser for 10 days.
The storage life of the product is ONLY 10 days. This is also another thing I like about this product. Sometimes you use products which guarantee results after weeks and then you still don't get results after a month and you get duped into thinking maybe using a second bottle would produce visible results and then no, nothing really happened.

But this, after 10 days, if you don't get any results, then that's it. Throw the bottle and get on with life. Of course, IF you don't get results. But I'm here to say you're sure to get at least some kind of results after 10 days of use. Money won't be wasted and you'll benefit from it and if you're that lazy for a day and night regime, c'mon you will only have to do it for 10 days and you can be lazy again hehe Of course, never neglect the basic cleanse, tone and moisturise regime.


BEFORE


AFTER 5 days, Decleor wanted some kind of feedback and here is mine published on their FB page



And AFTER 10 days..




A comparison before and after picture.


My skin is combination/oily skin but surprisingly after application, my skin became less oily throughout the day. It only had a radiant shine but not the oily shiny skin type.
I was a bit skeptical that the oil might make my face more oily but it did not at all!
Instead, it gave me instant radiant and luminous skin.
Best thing is that, it is made from all natural extracts so it is suitable for all skin types.
Further, I realised that my blackheads are slowly disappearing and there are less breakouts which is why I give this product two thumbs up ^^
