Well, ok, this is not new...but realized that I haven't mentioned it at all! This is L'Occitane #1 sku - hand cream for dry hands! It comes in so handy this time of the year, especially in the winter. It's not greasy at all and makes your hands soft. Plus, it smells great. Don't leave home without it!
All my colleagues in the Beauty world rave about the Giorgio Armani foundation. I finally bought myself one (yes, you read correctly, BOUGHT one) when I was in Hong Kong. After using it, I must say I am a huge fan now too!! First of all, there are a couple of lines (I bought the Designer Lift) and there are over10 shades to choose from, which means you are bound to find one that matches your skin. Btw, I learned that you don't find the color that matches your "hands" because people tend to put the sample on the back of your hands to try out the color. You need to find the color that best matches your neck!! That way, you don't have a face with one color and a neck with another! Anyways, why do I love this foundation? Because it provides excellent coverage but yet it is light as a feather! Your face does not feel heavy or oily at all ~ plus, it's very natural-looking.
I am an advocate of using eye products because I am always in a hunt to find a product that can get rid of my dark circles and eye bags. OK, OK, I'll admit it - don't ever let anyone convince you that you can get rid of dark circles or eye bags with a skincare product. They are lying. The only way is probably to go through plastic surgery. BUT there are products out there that can "hide" or "reduce the appearance" of dark circles. This Estee Lauder Idealist Eye Illuminator does that job. The cream dispenses through the ceramic applicator, which is cool and refreshing around the eyes. The cream is also slightly tinted so it can double up as a concealer.
This product is a 4-week program from La Prairie called the Cellular Power Infusion. It is a double-pump that starts off "clear" like the first vial. With a twist of the cap on the bottom, a spurt of serum comes out and combines with the other ingredients (pic 2 thru 4). Then you shake it up and use the vial for a week. There are 4 vials, so it lasts you basically for a month. You do this program once or twice a year. La Prairie is a very high end brand, but this product only sells for $450, which in their line of products, is considered a bargain. I only used 1 vial so far. Maybe it's my skin, but I haven't seen the results of elasticity and illumination as the product claims. Perhaps I need to use all 4 vials??
I saved this one for last, because it is my favorite among all the products I wrote about here. I am IN LOVE with the new Lancome Blanc Expert Nuit (Whitening night cream). I apply it at night and in the morning, my skin feels super soft like baby skin, and I feel like it's bouncy and full of energy. That feeling lasts throughout the entire day! The smell is not horrible, but it is more fragrant than most of the products I use. But I am able to overlook this, because the cream gives me visibly softer and smoother skin! The version I'm using now is the 2012 version with an updated formula, which looks a little bit different than the picture I've shown her. This product is only available in Asia and will start hitting the counters in February 2012.
