SK-II Skin Signature Melting Rich Cream

SK-II has always been among one of the leading brands in the anti-ageing industry. How we can tell is that each time SK-II launches a product, women go wild. This time, it is the SK-II Skin Signature Melting Rich Cream.

This cream works to strengthen the skin's surface layer to main­tain its Skin Power. It also restores and boosts the skin's firmness, radiance and smoothness.

SK-II scientists have discov­ered that skin's protein matu­ration process is activated by an enzyme called Pep­tidylarginine Deiminases (PAD). As this one grows older, the production of said enzyme would de­cline, causing immature proteins which then cause the skin to lose its structure, therefore weakening the skin's barrier.

The new Melting Rich Cream contains Rice Sterol to simulate PAD activity thus strengthen­ing the skin's weakened barrier.

The innovation behind the cream is its Melt-penetrate-wrap technology. Designed in a special solid form, the cream has a Capturing Network Technology, encapsulating the ingredients in a special network structure.

Once applied, the network would soften and penetrate deep into the skin to deliver its goodness. Lastly, the Wrap means it creates a moisture lock-in veil for hydra­tion.

The product promises to significantly boost skin power, radiance, smoothness and texture over a short time of four weeks if used correctly. One thing we can be sure of, it would probably be snatched off the coun­ters once it reaches our shores this August.

Dr Sebagh Advanced Anti-Ageing Skincare Purifying Mask Anti-Pollution

With the exhaust from vehicles, smoke and just about all the dust par­ticles floating out in the air around us, it isn't really possible to go anywhere without being exposed to the perils of pollution.

The Dr Sebagh Advanced Anti-Age­ing Skincare Purifying Mask Anti-Pollu­tion is a deep-cleansing mask for lifeless skin.

Gently refining and refreshing while deeply cleansing out your pores, this masque targets free radical damage, impurities, oiliness and roughness.

It tightens the pores and absorbs excess oil and the Environmental Protec­tion Film protects the skin from not only pollution but UV damage as well.

With electromagnetically-charged Ka­olin and eucalyptus, skin will be left clear of dirt and refreshed as well.

Aesop Travel Cases

For the frequent-flyer, how wonderful it would be to just grab a bag of toiletries and fly off to your destination. Ae­sop makes things super easy with their travel cas­es which contain essentials for skin, hair and body.

Choose between a parsley seed skin care collection called Tokyo and a New Men's regime, - Taipei.

The travel cases are also designed to fit full-sized Aesop products once the trial-sized ones are finished. Packing for holiday has never been so easy.

Annick Goutal Gelee Splendide Demaquillante

When removing make-up ceases to be a chore for females out there, it must be due to the fact that your make-up remover is super cute and you just can't wait to try it out!

One such face and eyes cleaning gel would be the Annick Goutal Gelee Splendide Demaquillante.

A combination of Rose serum and Aloe Vera, the gel efficiently and effectively rids make-up on face and eyes.

It is unique as it also preserves the softness of the deli­cate area around the eyes and lips.

It stimulates your senses for an all-new beauty ritual. Skin is prom­ised to be cleaned and revitalised, allowing freshness after removing all impurities.

Clarks Spring Summer Collection

Clarks never failed to bring us comfortable, functional shoes.

This summer season, we are loving Clarks for their funky colours and edgier designs.

Their collection offers some­thing great for every woman. From metallic shades to earthy tones - from hot striking fuchsias and co­balt blues to tans and pastels.

The important thing before stepping into the store is deciding which woman are you.

Mattes are infused with glosses and natural wood and cork con­trasts are blended with rubberised finishes.

The Fusion range sees a mix of designer style and sports technol­ogy. Be it heels or flat pumps, the keyword is comfortably wearable.

On the other hand, Clarks' Wedg­es' can be considered a wardrobe must-have as it can be dressed both up and down. One to look out for would be the Scotch Mist which is available in lavender, tan combi or black leather.

Another favourite of ours is the Saturn Ring. Part of Clarks' contemporary collection of heels, the Saturn Ring is crafted with natural materials and colours while the heels are sculpted to flatter the ankles.

For those out there who love their flats, you could check out the Shima Mina, a pair of gladiator flats which is available in tan or black leather.

With Clarks, who says sensible shoes have to be boring?

Bioxil Advanced Clear White Trio

Promising perfectly, completely and utterly translucent complexion, Bioxil's new Advanced Clear White Trio contains daisy flower extract, Alpha-Arbutin and vitamin C Ester C to control excessive pigmentation.

Brighter and younger-looking skin comes from three products that work synergistically to fade existing spots and stop future discolouration from taking place.

Start with the Bioxil Daily Gentle Clear White Peel. This peel provides gentle exfoliation while spurring skin cell regeneration. Silk micro-particles and natural fruit enzymes helps to lighten and even skin tone.

The Bioxil Advanced Clear White Masque is Hydroquinone-free and is supposed to immediately lighten skin. Using a unique Liposomal Delivery system, this Masque gives instant results.

Last but not least is the Bioxil Ad­vanced Clear White Essence which bright­ens, hydrates and pro­tects. It is fragrance-free and lightweight. The essence locks in moisture while rejuve­nating skin cells for a luminous experience.

Silver Mountain Water

Silver Mountain Water is a scent by The House of Creed. For those who have not heard of it, The House of Creed was founded in 1760 and was even appointed by Queen Victoria as an official sup­plier to the Royal household.

The brand uses natural es­sences as much as possible, instead of synthetic ones. All its 48 fragrances are linked to at least one celebrity or famous historical figure.

The Silver Mountain Water is both tonic and refreshing. Imagine crisp mountain air with the purity of alpine streams.

The scent contains citrus, tea, blackcurrant, musk and ambergris. A fragrance not as mainstream as the rest, the EDP retails at RM599 for a 75ml bottle. As usual, uniqueness does not come cheap.

Laura Mercier

Laura Mercier has launched two beauty must-haves. It is not colours to brighten your face, but a support system so that everything else falls into place easier.

The first is the New Secret Finish - Mattifying, a fresh, shine-controlling liquid gel for oily skin. What it does is that it 'soaks' up facial oil and 'mattes' the skin. It is ideal for application over make-up. This innovative formula is one that can be used throughout the day for touch-ups.

It sets to a translu­cent, matte finish, is non-come­dogenic and fragrance-free.

The other star product is Laura Mercier's Under Eye Perfecter. A cream designed to conceal, awaken and provide coverage for dark under-eye circles.

It is done by mixing a touch of pigment into the concealer for problem areas. There are two shades that work with a whole variety of skin tones.

The lightweight texture of the product ensures that it would not settle and cake into fine lines.

Make-up and looking great is made slightly easier with Laura Mercier!
