Crabtree & Evelyn Floral Miniatures Collection

Crabtree & Evelyn Malaysia has just launched a new Travel Collection, the Floral Mini Collection with very exclusive price from today onwards till the 15th April 2012.

The GWP is very attractive! I like the Lily Scented Printed Fabric Bunny!

I didn’t purchase anything from this new collection as I wasn’t into their fragrance 🙂

Clarins Crabtree & Evelyn RMK Shiseido

Newly Opened – 4th Week of Feb to 1st Week of Mar 2012

For the last 1 week to the current week, I’m happy that I managed to finished a batch of products. Nothing makes me happy than digging into my lil store and open up new product to use. This new batch of newly opened products consists of makeups, skin cares and body care.

Crabtree & Evelyn Avocado,Olive & Basil Revitalising Bath & Shower Gel 250ml
If you like the smell of their hand therapy and body lotion from the same range, you’d definitely like the shower gel as well. I tried so hard not to be bias towards this shower gel and try alternating with other shower gel as well but failed. I can’t help it. It’s refreshing after using this shower gel!

Crabtree & Evelyn La Source Relaxing Body Lotion 250ml
I don’t know why this smell so nice in the shop but doesn’t smell that nice after using it at home. Hmmm??

Shiseido Accentuating Powder Blush #B2 Rosy Beige
I bought this from last year Isetan anniversary sales for RM40. As I’m kinda tanned recently due to sun burn, the color appears orangey on me. The color doesn’t stand out at all on my tan skin. Nevertheless, I like the blush.

Clarins Powder Compact #30 Sandy Beige
This is suppose to be “natural” on all skin tone but as mentioned before that I’m currently quite tan, this lovely powder makes me even darker. Why did I said lovely? This compact powder is superb!! I like the fact that this gives me matte finish which so far I have seen none that can provide matte finish, the oil control is so good that my face is oil free whole day. Only some oil secretion on my nose which I just use a tissue to gently pat away. That was it. I would definitely buy Clarins’ compact powder next time!

Crabtree & Evelyn Avocado, Olive & Basil Skin Revitalising Both Lotion 30ml
This is from Avocado, Olive & Basil mini gift set worth RM90 which I got as GWP from my recent haul of C&E. It’s so moisturizing yet non-oily and not forgetting the wonderful scent.

Clarins *New Improvised* Clarins HydraQuench Intensive Serum Bi-Phase 15ml
Review: Read here
This is one of the many bottles which I’ve gotten as GWP. The full size is 30ml so I’m always happy whenever the BA gave me this. I only use this at night time as this serum is bi-phase. I wouldn’t wanna have an oily face on the day :). One of the best hydrating serum I ever used.

Clarins Energizing Emulsion 30ml
Another GWP which I’ve gotten in Feb 2012. I bring this small lil bottle in my handbag to work everyday and I’d apply this whenever my legs are tired from all the standing and walking. Don’t really like the smell though.

Clarins Pore Minimizing Serum 15ml
Review: Read here
Last bottle to go! After this I’d stop purchasing for a while as I wanted to try other serum. Can’t apply too many serum in a go lol. I’d be back on this serum in no time 😉

Clarins UV Plus HP Day Screen High Protection Tinted Version 30ml
Review: Read here
My all time fav sunscreen which I have no intention to change nor try other brand. I have two 30ml of this in my stash. Clarins is about to launch another version which is the Beige. Although there’s a best buy set currently with a bottle of Tinted version, I’d like to try the Beige too so I’ll wait for the new arrival 🙂

Clarins Shaping Facial Lift 50ml
Review: Read here
A serum which doesn’t need any introduction :). This is the bottle that changed my beauty routine. After that it’s all history.

Clarins Instant Eye Make-Up Remover 125ml
Review: Read here
My current eye makeup remover. This bottle is actually bought from Clarins warehouse sales last year for RM50. This reminds me of Lancome Bi-Facil which I like too. This is the best eye makeup remover that I discovered. Although it’s kinda pricey, one bottle really last long so no worries.

Crabtree & Evelyn Avocado, Olive & Basil Ultra-Moisturising Hand Therapy 25ml
You can see that more than half of the tube is already gone! That is how much I love it. This particular tube is in my handbag at work. Luckily I have another 7 tube in stock 🙂

Clarins Cleansing Milk With Alpine Herbs 50ml
This is meant for Normal or Dry Skin. Too bad. Cause the smell is divine. Anyhow the efficiency is the same with Cleansing Milk With Gentian; removing makeup.

RMK Lip Gloss H-03 Holographic Strawberry Pink
Now I know why RMK lip gloss is so famous among reviewers! This is indeed a good lip gloss. If you’re like me who doesn’t like lip gloss at all and hated the stickiness of it, fret not. This is not sticky at all and because of that it doesn’t give you a white line on the inside of the lips.

Clarins Instant Smooth Line Correcting Concentrate 3ml
Another full size item redeemed from last year Oct 2011 Clarins Club Beauté Beauty Rewards Redemption. This is very similar to Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch. The only different is I felt that this is much more watery, smoother and melts immediately upon spreading.

Last but not least, 2 more body care from Clarins.

Clarins Body Treatment Tonic Oil 100ml
I purposely bought a 2011 Christmas set which have this in it. I have the Body Shaping Cream for the longest time but feel that it’s better to use with this body treatment oil. Will do a review on this soon.

Clarins Body Shaping Cream 200ml
Another full size item redeemed last year from Clarins. I’ve used this alone and felt the efficiency but feel that it’s better if I use this with Body Treatment Tonic Oil for better, faster result. Will do a combine review soon.

Phew. That was a lot :). Have a good weekend.

Another Episode of Crabtree & Evelyn La Source X Hello Kitty Essentials + Avocado, Olive & Basil

A few days ago my lady boss and I went to KLCC during working hours. I wanted to go Kinokuniya to get some creative buy ideas and she wanted to buy some gift for a friend who’s getting married.

At first we went to L’Occitane. There aren’t any promo or gift set so I dragged her out and went to Crabtree & Evelyn as I knew there’s lots of gift set available.

This is what I came home with…yet again. I got the last set of La Source X Hello Kitty Essentials set for RM98 and 2 sets of “A Love So Beautiful” exclusive set for RM38 each set (worth RM78).

What do both of us bought in total?
* La Source X Hello Kitty Essentials – 2 sets. One set is for me and another set is for my lady boss’s friend.
* Avocado, Olive & Basil Revitalising Bath & Shower Gel – 1 bottle. This is my lady boss’s.
* Avocado, Olive & Basil Revitalising Bath & Shower Gel – 1 bottle. This is also my lady boss’s.
* “A Love So Beautiful” exclusive set – 4 sets. Two set is for me, 1 set is for my lady boss and another set is for her friend.

The question is, how do we ended up with 4 sets of “A Love So Beautiful” exclusive set but we only got 2 Avocado, Olive & Basil product? Well, the SA said there’s no limitation in how many set we can purchase although I checked with Mid Valley SA last week and also their Facebook page that we can only purchase 1 set only for 1 Avocado, Olive & Basil product purchase.

Our total damage is RM458. As we didn’t want the huge tote bag, we are given 2 sets of Avocado, Olive & Basil mini gift set worth RM90 LOL. I’m loving this KLCC SA very much now hehehe.

Crabtree & Evelyn Avocado, Olive & Basil + La Source X Hello Kitty Essentials Haul

As mentioned in my previous post, Crabtree & Evelyn Malaysia had just launched a new range; Avocado, Olive & Basil a few days ago and they are having a special trial price for the whole range from 15th Feb to 18th March 2012.

I drove to Mid Valley after work on Thursday and I came home with more than I wanted initially.

I grabbed 2 Revitalising Bath & Shower Gel 250ml for RM45 each. Original price is RM65 each which makes it RM20 off.

With every purchase of Avocado, Olive & Basil product, I could purchase a “A Love So Beautiful” exclusive set for RM38 each set (worth RM78). And of course I grabbed 2 sets. This exclusive set consists of 2 Ultra-Moisturising Hand Therapy 25ml and an exclusive pouch which are sewn by groups of rural women in India that are in extreme challenging physical and financial circumstances.

I was also told that Hello Kitty Essentials Set is on discount as well to clear off the remaining stocks as this is 2011 Christmas Set. There are 3 range to choose from; La Source, Nantucket Briar and Summer Hill. I’m ok with the scent of all 3 as I’ve use them before but finally settle with La Source X Hello Kitty Essentials for RM98. Original price is RM138. Thank goodness I didn’t buy any during Christmas last year LOL!! The set includes a full size La Source Relaxing Body Wash 250ml, Relaxing Body Lotion 250ml and a Hello Kitty travel toiletry bag.

The middle section of the Hello Kitty travel toiletry bag is detachable!

And finally my GWP. I received a Avocado, Olive & Basil mini gift set worth RM90 with purchase of RM220 and above. I spent RM264 in total. Another RM56 I got get a tote bag worth RM198 though but because I don’t really like the tote bag and it’s super huge too huge, I make a pass. Oh ya, the GWP mini gift set consists of a Revitalising Bath & Shower Gel 50ml, Skin Revitalising Both Lotion 30ml and a sponge! Better than the tote bag IMHO *cough*

Have you tried the new range at their store? If not do pop in and take a sniff. You’d love the scent of the Avocado, Olive & Basil range! Remember to grab a set of “A Love So Beautiful” as the rural women in India who sewn the exclusive pouch included will benefit from this program. I myself will drop by Crabtree & Evelyn tomorrow to grab more!

Newly Opened

Happy Saturday!

Just this week I managed to used up loads of products and opened another new load. Some are just new products that I’m trying. Others are stock replenishment. Below is what I took out from my stash to use.

Clarins Purifying Cleansing Gel With Hamamelis 75ml
Review: Read here
This is 2nd last tube from my stash. It’s part of Truly Matte Best Buy Set which was selling for RM68. Like this very much. I’m using this in the morning after I woke up. Very good cleansing gel to be used to eliminate oil on the face. Too bad the set is sold out.

Clarins HydraQuench Cream-Mask 15ml
Review: Read here
This is a part of GWP which I received from numerous purchases. This is also my 2nd last tube in my stash. I’m using this on alternate days apart from Pure and Radiant Mask for hydration purposes.

Clarins Pure and Radiant Mask With Pink Clay 15ml
Review: Read here
This masks is my very first purchase back in March 2011. After finishing the retail size tube I never bought any as there’s a 15ml tube included in Truly Matte Best Buy Set as well! I bought this deep cleansing mask to clear the dirts from inside out. I can’t live without this mask. I’m using it on every Mon, Wed and Fri.

Crabtree & Evelyn Citron Honey & Coriander Bath & Shower Gel 50ml
This is a part of a 2011 Christmas Set which I bought 2 weeks back. I like this more than Pomegranate one. However the container is as hard as a rock! There’s no way to dispense out the shower gel by squeezing the container. I need to remove the whole cap away. Troublesome. I finished it in just 3 days.

Clarins Eau Dynamisante Invigorating Fragrance 100ml
This fragrance is a part of Clarins 2011 Christmas Set; Wake Up Treat which was selling for RM173. I’m still trying to accept the scent though LOL. Smell so nice at counter or facial but at home it’s too strong. I’m still justifying the scent.

Crabtree & Evelyn Pomegranate Argan & Grapeseed Bath & Shower Gel 50ml
This is also a part of 2011 Christmas Set. Just finished it yesterday. I don’t like the smell very much. Again, the container is hard. Impossible to squeeze the shower gel out! Grrrrr!

Clarins UV Plus HP Day Screen High Protection (Tinted) 30ml
Review: Read here
I received this as a gift which was included in Shaping Facial Lift Double Lift Best Buy Set @ RM429. This is worth RM158 which is very very worthy. I finished my limited edition 50ml tube a few months ago and has been using GWP 10ml. Which explains why only now I’m using this. This act as a sunblock and foundation for me. I stopped using BB cream after I started using this. Only 20cent coin size is needed for the whole face. Yes, this is my HG.

Baviphat Sweet Honey Lip Scrub 10ml
Bought this from Watsons KLCC a few weeks ago and has been testing out before doing a review. What I can say is this is way much better than The Body Shop Lipscuff! Review will be up soon.

Clarins Pore Minimizing Serum 15ml
Review: Read here
This 15ml is actually half of retail’s full size. Also included in Truly Matte Best Buy Set and sadly to say this is my last tube in the stash =(. What I love about this serum is that you can see immediate result. So far I never found any pore minimizing serum which is this good.

Last but not least…
Lancôme Miracle Miniature 5ml
Got this just a few days ago. Accidentally bump into a seller online selling this for just RM12! Not needing another new perfume but the price is too hard to resist. Normally a miniature would cost about RM35-RM40 online. And yes it’s original from Sasa HK.

There’s also 2 more new product which I just started using this week which is Urban Decay De Slick Oil-Control Makeup Setting Spray and MAC Brush Cleanser. MAC review is up last Sunday and Urban Decay’s is coming soon which is why I didn’t put up in this post.

Have a great weekend ahead!
