Recently (September 2012), Lancome launched a new addition to their Genifique collection - Genifique Yeux Light-Pearlᵀᴹ Eye-Illuminating Youth Activator.

Inspired by gene science, the power of Genifique Youth Activator now for eye brightness. Genifique Yeux Light-Pearlᵀᴹ, the first Lancome eye-illuminating serum booster engineered with a patented Light-Pearlᵀᴹ, a massaging applicator that amplifies the formula's efficacy.

For the first time, Lancome creates a serum combining the science of Genifique with a high performance pearl-shaped applicator to make eyes appear more open. As intuitive as it is seductuve, Genifique Yeux light-pearlᵀᴹ serum revolutionises eye contour care. Genifique Yeux Light-Pearlᵀᴹ transforms eyes in 7days.

.

A breakthrough eye serum booster, it represents the first step of the eye beauty ritual.

• illuminate eyes with 360° treatment

• Reinventing eye contour

• Dark circles
• Puffiness
• Winkles

Outstanding results proven on 10 signs of youth

Smoother

• Skin smoothed

• Reduced crow's feet

• Reduced Wrinkles

• Reduced Fine lines

De-puffed

• Lifted up eyelid

• Lifted arch of the eyebrow

• Deflated eye bags

Brighter

• Increased brightness

• Refined texture

• Faded dark circles

Lancome Laboratories' knowledge, expertise and know-how in the formulation has led to a genuine symbiosis between Genifique Yeux serum and the Light-Pearlᵀᴹ applicator. Light and refreshing, its delicate texture procures a remarkable soft sensation.

The formula is fragrance free, formulated for optimal tolerance. The moment it is applied, the serum is instantly absorbed.

Genifique Yeux Light Pearlᵀᴹ releases its powerful ingredients for instant benefits. Diffusion into the eye contour is optimised because of the mechanical efficacy of the pearl.

The serum feel really light and watery.. it spread really well and absorbed into the skin quite fast (base on testing it on the back of my hand).

The light-pearlᵀᴹ applicator feel pretty solid yet doesn't feel hard on the skin. On the skin, it feel nice and cooling.

A breakthrough combination of a pearl created with high-tech precision and cutting-edge materials, the Light-Pearlᵀᴹ represents the first of a new generation of applicators.

From the surface of immaculate silvery metal emerges a futuristic oblong form chiselled by ceramic and porcelain polishers, then smoothed with diamond powder, to become the perfectly designed applicator pearl.

The material is stainless steel, which is notable used for surgical instruments, due to its hygienic properties. Incredibly soft and smooth, on application the pearl procures a wave of freshness (coolness) to illuminate the eye with remarkable senoriality and highly relaxing, instantly energising effect. As continue application, it adapts to the skin's temperature for evluating with levity.

Lastly, the applicator boasts the unique feature of a 50° rotation angle, allowing for a high degree of suppleness on application, lightly gliding over skin, making it perfectly suited to the eye contour. Offering a unique new sensation, the application technique covers and allows you to massage the entire eye contour.

I have been holding myself back from opening this up and start using it. Being a die-hard fan for "eye" products... it's really hard to control the urge for trying new product.

I just start using a new eyecream (Origins eye treatment) not long ago when I received this product (around mid August), so to prevent me from "confusing" the results... I refrain myself from using this serum. Now, it about time for me to start using!! (Yeah~~~)

In August 2012, DKNY launched the Delicious Eau so Intense Collection in Singapore. An intensified vesion of two conveted fragrances to give devoted fans even more of what they love.

With over 4,000,000 bottles sold each year worldwide, it is no surprise that young women in the chicest cities point to the glass apple with the crisp, green floral fragrance inside and say, “I want it,” I want to Be Delicious.

As the passion for the brand grows ever more intense, the juice has followed that lead. Now eight years after debuting the first apple-inspired fragrance, Be Delicious, in 2004, DKNY introduces its most tempting iteration yet - the Delicious Eau So Intense Collection: Be Delicious Eau So Intense and Fresh Blossom Eau So Intense.

Perfumers amped up the concentration of each element in the original formula in equal parts. Each has maintained the original structure and balance, just with more potency and staying power.

“Each of the classic fragrances in the Delicious Collection were intensified using two different methods,” said Trudi Loren, VP of Fragrance Development at DKNY Fragrances, “I either amplify one aspect of the fragrance or raised the entire concentration so customers will enjoy a larger sensation of the original overall. It’s really determined by how the construction of the original fragrance lends itself to either increasing the concentration or strengthening one of the specific nodes. “

FAN FAVORITE:
The clever packaging interpretation of New York’s Big Apple, a palm-sized clear glass object is the embodiment of the city’s vibrant, optimistic energy. It has clearly resonated across the globe, building and sustaining a rabid fan base from Germany to Singapore, South Africa to the Netherlands. Today, DKNY Fragrances engages the largest fragrance Facebook community in the world with over 780,000 “likes.”

BEST-SELLER:
Enough of the eau de parfum has been sold to keep every New Yorker spritzed and smelling “delicious” day in and day out for two solid years. Globally, over 4 million DKNY Delicious apples are sold a year. That is over 10,000 bottles a day, 6-7 every minute. Every 10 seconds, someone, somewhere, picks a Be Delicious apple off of the shelves and takes a little slice of New York’s vibrant, sophisticated, optimistic spirit home.

AWARD-WINNING:
More than three dozen times, magazine readers have awarded Be Delicious the title of favorite fragrance, in almost as many languages.

Most of you "must" have know that I'm super bad at describing fragrance ... beside my nose tends to pick up the scents I like most and ignore the rest! lolx ..... Well, I'll try my best......

I have been trying this fragrance out for about amonth now (I do rotate it with other fragrances on different days)

.

.

when I first spray the fragrance into the air - the scent is quite refreshing - A citrusy scent ( grapefruit + apple scent). Feels like I just slip a huge mouthful of icing cold grapefruit soda  Ahhhhh~

And the apple scent..  on my skin, it smell more of a sour apply(nice type of sour scent) then the fresh sweet apply scent.  And it dries down to a earthy floral scent... a mixture of faint sweetness of magnolia and sandalwood.

It last about a good 6-8 hrs on me.

.

.

I know fragrance smell different on different skin and body temperature - so go and sniff sniff it out yourself ^_^

.

.

Be Delicious Eau So Intense
Be Delicious was the first to be derived from an apple extract, which was then layered with grapefruit, magnolia, sandalwood and white amber. A delectable new fragrance that is the pick of the crop, Be Delicious Eau So Intense is a higher concentration of our classic Be Delicious fragrance accentuating the key apple note—resulting in a more intoxicating scent that resembles the first bite of a fresh picked apple.

.

.

Fresh Blossom Eau So Intense
Rose and lily of the valley notes get more attention in the new Fresh Blossom Eau So Intense. The once-delicate floral, inspired by the fragile but potent blooms on an apple tree, made more nuanced by ramping up the concentration of two of the most celebrated notes in perfumery. The result is a more textural, intense floral bouquet that is long lasting and fresh.

Sometimes back Hada Labo released a newly reformula Super Hyaluronic Acid lotion with new ‘nano’ hyaluronic acid molecule. The New ‘Nano’ Super Hyaluronic Acid boosts its hydration power, and now enables full and thorough hydration from skin surface to deep within.

The new ‘nano’ hyaluronic acid molecule is 1/20 the size of the normal hyaluronic acid’s. This enables penetration to areas deep within the skin. The other two hyaluronic acid, ‘Normal’ and ‘Super’ hydrate skin closer to the surface.

With a superior combination of all three hyaluronic acid (Nano, Super, Normal), Hada Labo Hydrating range can give your skin a deeper and fuller hydration.

• Fragrances Free

• Mineral oil Free

• Alcohol Free

• Colorant Free

• Skin pH balanced

• Low Irritating

Ingredients list (click to enlarge)

The new reformula Hada Labo SHA Hydrating Lotion Nano consistency feel pretty much similar to the original version. Only can feel abit of the different when applied on the skin.

• The lotion does feel watery with alittle bit of slimy consistency.
  But it doesn't make skin feel "sticky" nor "stuffy" once the lotion absorbed into the skin.

• Not as sticky as the original version

• Fast absorption and the nano lotion sit very well on the skin
• The finishing of the lotion feel moist and "cooling"(on the skin surface)
• Skin does feel refreshing and soothing (I like~)
• Moisturizing
• Skin feel supple
  (It might be the cream that I'm using, but this lotion does "help" to boost up the hydrating level)
• Calm "warm/inflammation" skin

• Safe to apply around eye areas.
• lightweight
  The consistency of the "nano" lotion feel abit more lighter and watery as compare to the original lotion when I apply it on the skin.
• doesnt cause any break-out
• No irritation
• Doesn't crash with the skincare products that I'm using/rotating
  (brand:: For beloved One, Origins or Elizabeth Arden products)

I prefer to pour alot of the SHA lotion on cotton pad (just soak up the cotton square pad) and start patting all over my face.  The lotion feel lightweight and absorb fast and nicely onto the skin.

I do notice that (from my previous experiences) - the lotion start to lose abit of the efficacy after opening the products for more then 2 to 3 months. This huge bottle can last up to 3 to 5 mths depend on the usage (if use about 2 to 3 drops each time). So please use generously.. else it would be a waste if you keep the products for too long.

.

.

About my skin condition :
My skin start to feel abit dry again but NOT tight (thankfully)
T-zone still feel normal (abit oily - only on nose)
I guess I should resign to my fate that NOW my skin is dry combination.
I think age play a huge part in changing my skin condition.
I feel greateful as long as it doesn't feel tight and painful! ^_^

Finally!!! I got my hand on one of the 2 Ultra Mattes palettes (The other one was OOS at that time of ordering - ordered thru Joanna's spree)... the wait was worth it (I guess) cos all the colors are sooooooo pretty and they swatch very well ^_^

Ingredients list...
[Not sure which ingredients - But this palette cannot be shipped over to US and Canada (according to their website)]

Various lighting of the pretty colorful matte shadows
[Click to enlarge]

Swatches in various lighting....

Cricket, Boit and Strike are the most pigmented and creamy in the palette.... Sugarlite, floss, crete and Pow! were kinda weak.
All the shadows doesn't feel chalky.. they were pretty well pressed into the pan and they swatch well and smooth on the back of my dry hand.

They don't really feel like "matte" shadow... they have a nice sleek texture and finishing...

All swatches were done without any base.

Strike, Bammi, Dragon Fly, Cricket and Boit are my favourite!!!

MORILINS Softening and Smoothening Organic Facial Therapy mask 

Ingredients list...

Directions...

Here my initial thought of the MORILINS Softening and Smoothening Organic Facial Therapy Mask

When I first put on the mask.. OMY.... I forgot to stretch the mask first (OOps! lolx)
So with some pulling here and there while the mask still on my face, it fit and stick on my face nicely!

• The mask feel abit tight(comfortable type of tightness) - lifting effect!
• Mask feel very moist yet not too messy "masking" it
• Very refreshing and soothing
• Does have a bit of tingling feels.. (nice type of feel)
• Doesn't sting nor have burning sensation while masking
• The mask remain moist and refreshing after 15mins
• Skin feel so relaxing
• Doesn't cause any irritation nor breaking-out
• Skin feel moist, supple and smooth
• Very moisturing (repeat again... I like how moisturizing this mask feel)
• After applying my normal skin cares... skin still feel "refreshing"
• I like the cut of the mask... cos it does cover up the side of my nose to the inner cheek where most of the mask doesn't!

The effect is just temporary.. but it good enough to give skin a relaxing "spa" treatment at home.
