Venture the exuberant and luxurious style of Baroque…巴洛克…低调的奢华…让你欲罢不能…Wwwooooooooo~~~~~~~~

Baroque aka 巴洛克is a style that I first knew of when I was watching 《摆家乐》。Originating from Italy, the baroque influenced all the areas of the arts with its dramatic, daring, sensual style…Nowadays, I do see the Baroque style seeping into the homes (especially wallpapers) of many…it looks so classy, isn’t it?? How I wish I have an element of Baroque in my room too~ be it wallpaper, or lamp or whatsoever… 😛

If you have been yearning for such elements of rich golds and emblematic scrolls in your life like me, now you can finally instill that onto your dressing table!!

Introducing CLARINS BAROCCO Festive Make-Up Collection!!

Taking inspiration from the flamboyance, this sumptuous and sensual collection is bound to let you fall prey to its unique style…

My favourite among the 4 limited editions! 🙂

Barocco Eye Colour Trio!

I’ve always loved neutral/brown shades of eyeshadows with a tinge of shimmer…But cos it’s gonna be X’mas, it’s an excellent opportunity to play up the shades of bronze and gold and go sophisticated and classy all the way! *tempted*

Feel free to be a lil bit more daring when you party…especially at night when you can opt for the “smoky” effect…still wondering how to do it?? Check out the tips for both day and night look!

Seriously, I think it’s perfect as a gift too cos it looks so nice! All the limited editions are presented in an exquisite black laquered case with light gold lid and black scroll decoration within a red velvet purse…nice nice!!

Including this!! Barocco Face Palette!!

In a pinky-peach tone, this blusher suits almost all types of skin tones! Very nice rosy natural look as well! The combination of the 2 shades is perfect for illuminating the face or adding matte touches to the complexion! 🙂

Next, play~ up~ your~ sensual~ SEXINESS~~~~!! (oops. i sounded too excited…sensual~ sensual~…)

Barocco Rouge Prodige!!

Remember the Rouge Prodige collection which was launched a few months ago?? Yes, it’s the same series with a rich formula to combine long-hold colour, extreme shine and total comfort…but THIS is a new shade invented especially for the Festive Collection! No. 130 Barocco shade…wwooooo…red lipstick…super sexy if you dare to carry it off… *winks winks*

Last but not least, Barocco Shimmering Gold Powder!!

Yippee!! Be ready to doll yourself up for X’mas!! 🙂

因为生活在都市中,工作劳累、休息不够、情绪不稳定,以及城市环境的污染,都会导致“假眼袋”的出现。那该如何解决呢?

妙招一:每晚睡前用维生素 E 胶囊中的粘液对眼下部皮肤进行为期4周的涂抹及按摩,能达到消除下眼袋、减轻衰老的良好效果。

妙招二:睡前在眼下部皮肤上贴无花果或黄瓜片,持之以恒可减轻下眼袋。

妙招三:眼部保养品。对于眼袋,最重要的是预防,如果在眼部肌肤还年轻,状态还好的时候,就利用眼霜进行保养,可以有效预防眼袋的出现。当你的眼部出现轻微的眼袋时,还可以利用一些高效的眼霜来进行抢救。

在擦眼霜时,你可用手指朝上重点轻敲眼周围的皮肤。在平日的保养,也应当避免随意牵拉下眼睑或将眼周肌肤向外过度伸展哦。

你是个爱敷面膜的人吗?市面上有很多不同功效的面膜,例如:深层洁净、保湿、美白、等等,而这些面膜也有很多不同的使用方法!但是,你晓得敷涂抹式面膜的最佳方法吗?

敷涂抹式面膜时,如果仔仔细细地涂抹的话,至少也要花上好几分钟的时间。要是你还磨磨蹭蹭的话,很可能会超过规定的涂抹时间。这样一来,最初涂抹的部位已经干透了,美容成分也完全渗透进去了,可是最后涂抹的部位却还没开始渗透哦。

为了消除这个时间上的差异,应该尽量从温度较低的部位开始涂抹。通常,额头和鼻梁处的温度比较高,而脸颊和嘴巴周围的温度相对要低一些。皮肤的温度越低,所需渗透的时间也就越多,因此需要最先涂抹的部位应该是脸颊。紧接着涂抹嘴巴周围,然后是鼻梁,最后是额头。

按照这个顺序来涂抹的话,在规定的停留时间内,美容成分在各个部位的渗透程度会大致相同,而且也可为你省下一些时间哦!

Longing for beautiful flawless skin?? 😉

Hehe…I’m an ardent believer of almost all types of masks! And I do make it a point to apply a good hydrating mask before any make-up (esp. for huge events)! And it does work very well! Foundation glides up smoothly…holds better…and most importantly, u’ll look radiant! 🙂 Trust me…i’ve gotten compliments every time i did that…muahahaha!!

Other than basic/advanced skincare which I’ve always believed in, it’s definitely a wise choice to invest in a good foundation that gives you flawless skin too!

Like plants and flowers, the skin needs two essential elements to stay beautiful – water and light! Needless to say, we can’t absorb water through “roots” and neither do we have chlorophyll… -_- (duh~) but this Clarins Hydra-Luminous Flawless Powder Foundation seems to do wonders!!

Hydra-capsules containing plant essences of rosemary, chamomile and gingko biloba, disperse upon contact with skin and provides continuous hydration! Skin becomes soft and comfortable~ looking “polished” and perfectly smooth… 🙂

And here comes the “light” part!!

Clarins Hydra-Luminous contains the “3D Luminance” pigment that diffuses light in such a way that sculpts the face…if you love photography or simply love being in the limelight, you’ll definitely understand the importance and how much it can enhance or “ruin” you in the pictures!! Yikes!!

The incredulous ingredients/pigments are coated in shea butter which gives the foundation an ultra-soft, fine, melting texture that glides smoothly over your skin…it also contains SPF2- – PA++ to protect your skin…and you won’t believe how wonderful Clarins is… It also contains an anti-pollution and anti-oxidant active ingredient, white tea, to neutralize free radicals which continue to attack the skin, even after exposure to UV! To put it simply, it provides triple anti-free radical, anti-pollution and anti-UV protection! The skin feels so “protected”!! Like there are tonnes of security guards to safeguard your most previous asset! Muahahaha.. 😉

Other than the Clarins Hydra-Luminous Flawless Powder Foundation, do check out the Instant Light Brush Perfector too! 🙂

What does this little tube do?? No more signs of tiredness,  dullness and imperfections! The Instant Light Brush On Perfector to the rescue! 

One click of the pen and it smoothes perfectly onto the skin to optically diminish shadowy areas, dark circles and fine lines! Special pigments reflect light in all directions and creates the illusion of a radiant complexion! Feel free to use it as a highlighter for the middle of the forehead, sides of the nose, top of the cheekbones, and tip of the chin!

Other than its illuminating properties, it is formulated with oat sugars (kinda sounds delicious, doesn’t it?? yum yum~) that gently firms the skin!

Available in four shades, it’s retailing at $45 each~ 🙂

No. 00 (light beige)

No. 01 (rosy beige)

No. 02 (medium beige)

No. 03 (golden beige)

GIVEAWAY TIME~!!!!!!!!

Tell me which shade of Instant Light Brush On Perfector you would like to have…I have No. 00 and No. 01 in my hands…and I’m gonna give away one of them! 🙂 First check out the different shades at any Clarins counter and tell me which suits you! Post a comment under this blog entry and tell me why this is a must-have for you! I’ll pick out one lucky winner soon!

Contest ends on 10 November, 11.59pm! 🙂 Have fun!

想拥有一头亮丽的秀发,除了注重饮食和生活作息,以及平日的头皮头发保养之外,梳子的选择也扮演着关键的角色哦!

市面上的梳子可分为好几种,包括了梳开纠结头发的扁梳、将刘海或发尾吹出自然弯度与蓬度的圆梳、专门用来洗发的洗发梳、和促进头皮循环的按摩梳等等。 不管是哪种梳子,在使用了一段时间之后,上面总会残留许多毛发和脏污,那应该怎么清理呢?

首先,你可用纤细的黑色发夹将发丝勾出来,或者使用市面上售卖的梳子清洁刷来清除残留在梳齿之间的毛发。之后,再用水稍微冲洗梳子,或利用棉花棒沾点酒精来擦拭梳齿间的缝隙就行了。

另外,记得一定要让洗好的梳子保持干燥,以避免细菌附着在梳子上。定期清洗梳子,保持干净,对你的头皮也比较健康哦!

如果你还没养成天天擦防晒霜的好习惯,那么相信你偶尔会碰到在肌肤毫无防备的情况下,迫不得已地曝晒在阳光下吧?找不到防晒霜,想要后悔也已经来不及了。。。那么,事后有什么补救方法吗?现在,就让我们了解一下吧!

皮肤受到紫外线照射后,过4-5小时就会开始变红,经过大约24小时后,这个变红的过程就到达顶峰。经过紫外线照射的3-4天后,制造出来的黑色素就会使皮肤变成褐色的了。

如果不想肤色变黑,就必须在皮肤变黑的72小时之内做个彻底的美白护理!美白产品大多含有抗氧化成分,所以在黑色素开始形成之时便是美白产品发挥功效的最佳时机。 如果皮肤没有变红,也没有火辣辣地疼,那么就在曝晒后的当天进行全面的美白护理吧。

日常使用的美白美容液当然是OK的,不过在这个关键时刻,千万别吝啬哦。。。最好使用美白面膜或短期集中护理用的等高浓度的美白产品。

想要把已经形成的色斑彻底去除是非常难的,可是如果在黑色素还没被释放出来之前就使用美白产品,就可以达到更棒的美白效果哦!
