I always have a soft spot for jackets and blazers, in particular printed blazers. Naturally, I couldn’t resist this pastel H&M crop blazer which was on serious markdown.
What wardrobe rationalisation? I will think about it next week.

If you are currently shopping for a moisturizer, do you have an imaginary criteria where you could check off every item in the list before you narrow down your options?
Some prefers their moisturizers to have SPF, others prefer oil-free version. Some consumers look for other catch phrases such as “anti-aging”, “non-comedogenic”, “hydrating” etc.
Today, I would like to introduce two Whitening Moisturizers and coincidentally, both contain plant extracts.

In dealing with brightly-coloured lips, one consideration is often “Glossy or Matte”? There is no hard and fast rule, as it all boils down to personal preference.
If you are in the search for some bright and wearable lip gloss, Clarins will be launching the Gloss Prodige in 8 delicious shades come February. I had a chance to play with 3 colours prior to the launch!

I was hardly a user of liquid foundation because while such foundation provides very smooth finish, I wasn’t comfortable with the thick consistency of the product that I was using many years ago.
But well, technology advances over the years, so do cosmetics. Today, I would like to introduce two brands of liquid foundations that are rather light in texture but provide silky smooth finish. In fact, I think I am rather convinced that mousse or liquid foundation is the way to go.

Because I have two smoky eye palettes in blue shades from the Fall/Winter makeup collections, I decided to do a comparison between Clarins and Dior palettes.
Starting off with a quote from Christian Dior, “Midnight Blue is the only colour which can ever compete with black.” Blue is a pretty basic eye shadow colour but the popular look next season would be a blend of silver, grey and deep blue to create the smoky eyes.

I was invited to experience facial at Clarins Skin Spa recently. I gotta admit, I was excited and worried at the same time. As you probably know, my skin hasn’t been at its greatest recently and a facial is probably much needed. On the other hand, I was worried that the facial could cause my skin to be even more sensitive or even purge majorly.
Based on my understanding towards Clarins’ products, I figured that it is unlikely that I would develop major sensitive reaction from the facial although I did reminded my beauty therapist to go easy on my skin.
