Clarins White Plus HP

Clarins White Plus HP
Sea Lily Enriched
"From deep within, luminosity is restored"


Salam and Hai everyone...
Now.. This is my latest on to the date right now skin care product. I have to say that i think I've found my ultimate one skin care regime that i have been searching for ages... It gives me what i want, it has what i want...
Introducing CLARINS white plus HP range...

Well actually i have been wanting to try clarins for a while already. I always gave a glance on their counter each time i pass through them. But i don't know why i didn't stop and explore... may be i'm saving it for the last or pretending that there will be a perfect right time for CLARINS gliding on my face.... So this time its ur time CLARINS.. welcome to my world!

Last Thursday, me and miss NH stopped by to CLARINS promotion counter in Pavilion KL. We met a nice BA Yvase... She showed and helped me to try out all the Clarins white plus HP products... I was so temted and bought myself a set of Clarins white plus HP best buy product:


 This is among the products available in the best buy set together a sample of face lifting and milk toner (the small small cute bottle/golden tube)

Will update u guys later with reviews... but till now i am so in live with this line from CLARINS...

Burt's Bee Radiance starter Kit & Radiance Serum

After a while now, my skin soothe a bit from redness.. now i'm back for looking skincare that can give radiance for my skin. Burt's bee radiance... wow from its name already i got the urge to check it out!

The Burt's Bee Radiance Starter Kit
I got this starter kit from burt's bee outlet in Sunway Pyramid for RM90. This kit include a facial wash, spf20 day moisturizer lotion, eye cream, night cream, and a lip shimmer.
As an overall, this range was quite heavy to me. It gave me oily face after application especially with the day and night cream. The cleanser is very creamy and thick, it left ur skin very moisturize. I think this range would be very good for people with dry skin. As the products of burt's bee are from royal jelly and honey, they do provide u a tons of vitamins and moisturize u well. But i guess not for me.. i would prefer a mate finish not oily face.

The Burt's Bee Radiance Serum
Ok this serum is quite good. It does give u a radiance complexion. But not that fairer looking face. I'm used this almost half of the bottle. This serum does not give u oily face like other oil base serum. It absorb really fast into my skin. Would stay using this until i finish up.

The Body Shop Aloe Vera Set


After the bodyshop Natrulift line... i was recommended with this aloe vera soothing line. Me and miss NH went to body shop in KLCC and met a nice beauty advisor (BA) named Azza who suggested me to use this line as my skin was very sensitive at had redness on cheeks and nose. I was to use this aloe vera skincare to give my skin a treatment moment and to relax from harmful skin care ingredients. According to Azza i could go back to any targeted skin care products after i use this aloe vera range. I was so influenced by her and bought myself 3 products from aloe vera that were able to combat my sensitiveness. The price was very affordable plus the GP sale was on during that time, i got a price of RM110+ for 3 products and sample for night cream from body shop aloe vera.. worth it!

Aloe Gentle Facial Wash
This cleanser is very very gentle. It really soothe down my redness and in the same time cleanse my face well. I love love this. I would really recommend this for those who want they skin to give it a rest...

Aloe Calming Toner
This toner is very light and watery. As its said to calm ur sensitiveness, it does what it say.However i don't feel the 'puas' feeling after application. I always think that watery toner do not do well, but hey this for your relax time treatment so just calm down and enjoy it while it repair ur skin..

Aloe Soothing Day Cream
This cream is very light, has no smell and very good for moisturizing even though ur facing redness or any other skin problem.

Overall:
This range is so good.. I would come back to use this each time when i'm suffer from break out using other products. It will give you like a medical treatment u needed to get ur skin back healthy again! highly recommended for sensitive skin and those who need DR skin..

The Body Shop Natrulift Starter Kit


Last month my skincare journey continue with this nice maroon red skincare set from the body shop.
This their new range for anti aging skincare line called NATRULIFT made from pomegranate. I do want o love this line from body shop but it was too heavy for me. The SA girl from midvalley body sho told me that i could already use this as i'm coming towards 30's already... but i guess my skin is still on the early 20's as i can't tolerate this (hihihihi...). The cream cleanser is ok, but a bit oily. I was really impressed with the toner at first when i applied it on the back of my hand as it remove dirt so well and clarifies well... BUT>> when applied to my face i feel this burning sensation that was too awful on my face. My face was getting redness out of using this. The day and night moisturizer was really moisturizing but a bit heavy for me, and i sweat a lot when using them. I wanted to love them but i guess i just have too let it go....

SAFI RANIA GOLD

My ambition to save more from skin care products seems to go deeper. Early this year i put my self a challenge to try Safi Rania Gold.. This skincare is very affordable and can easily get almost anywhere from mini market to hypermarket. I bought myself the "set siang" which only cost me RM39.90 (if not mistaken), a day and night cream which each cost RM20++ from Mydin Hypermarket... this so wow and wow cheap!
Safi rania gold has a very good reviews on keeping skin look younger and radiant... i hope to achieve this also! Not to say that my skin look old or mature but i do lack of some radiance.. and hey... prevention is better than cure right? why not start now to prevent aging..

The "set siang" consist of a cleanser, toner, serum. The cleanser has a very creamy texture and gold colour. It does give a nice clean face after washing ur face with it. Toner has rose smell and give u a sense of relex upon application. For me, i do not like the toner as it is so watery and i felt like it does nit do its job as a toner. Serum was the star product of this line. It has a light ans smooth texture. i noticed my pores were getting smaller when using this for a while.
The day and night moisturizer were ok ok to use for the purpose of moisturizing ur skin. I do not have negative or positive view on this, but its an ok products..

AVENE for Sensitive and Dry Skin

After using Clinique for awhile, and started to finish up its toner, cleanser and etr... I have money issue... aaaah not best la this time.. So, i have to cut down my budget on skin care... I started to look for skin care from drug stores such as Watsons and Guardian..
As my skin at that time was very dry, and sensitive.. I was so urged to try AVENE..
AVENE is a skin care from France that is formulated for people with sensitive skin. I give this a try but the price was not so cheap like RM50 below but affordable price at RM100 below..

These are the products i used from AVENE:

AVENE Gentle Toner
This toner is very very gentle. Its like baby powder put in water. You have to shake first before use it. You will very soothe after application. Good for redness. I love this but after a while i felt like this do nothing to my skin.














AVENE Hydrance Optimale Rich Hydrating Cream
This moisturizer is very hydrating but has light texture. It is not a heavy cream but is just suitable for dry skin. Very good for sensitive and dehydrated skin.








AVENE Sensitive White
After a while using the basic dry skin range from AVENE, i started to want more from this products..
I then tried AVENE SENSITIVE WHITE. I bought a trial pack for this range for RM 30+ during Christmas promotion last year. It has sensitive white whitening lotion, sensitve white whitenng essence (serum), sensitive white whitening fluid (moisturizer) and thermal spring water. All came in small pumps. HOW to say this... my skin totally do not like this. I get brake out from even the first time of application. The serum, moisturizer gave me itchy skin, redness and tiny2 bumps appeared. My saver was the thermal spring water...
i wonder why this doesn;t work for me.. i guess it was the whitening agent that hates my skin so much!














AVENE Thermal Water Spring
This is my hero from AVENE. Each time i get sudden brake out from any skin care products, this will be like fireman. Its water really soothe soreness on your skin. Just spray to ur whole face and relax to let ot get rid away all the unwanted stuff that ur skin hate so much. Really recommend this, beat face mist ever!

Kiehl's Ultra Light Daily UV Defense

This sunblock comes with SPF 50 PA+++. It is one of the Kiehl's customer favorite product as highlighted in their website and promoted by their beauty advisor.  I purchased it because sunblock is crucial item in my daily skincare regime. I would never leave home without applying the sunblock. My previous drugstore sunblock such as Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock SPF45 is ok with me for the sun protection only, but after more than half I used it, I could feel my skin was drier than before I used it. I'm looking for the sunblock which is oil-free but at the same time doesn't dehydrate my skin. So, I bought the Kiehl's sunblock since it has all the things that I wish for sunblock especially it is labeled as oil-free and ultra light. Unfortunately, after several times of usage I could feel my skin is oily especially at the T-zone and it is noticeable by my friends. More oil seeds were developed when I used this sunblock. I hate this greasy feeling on my face even though  I have put face powder on it. Really uncomfortable. But I still continue using this when I'm at home or during cloudy days because for the price I paid; RM140 for 30ml sunblock, I better not toss it away. After 8 months on-off using it, it finished already. Totally will not repurchase it.

Miss WF also bought this sunblock. Similarly, she also found that this sunblock makes her face oily especially at the T-zone. Both of us agree that this product is not suitable for us who have combination skin.



Love, Miss NH
