EAU DE LACOSTE L.12.12 Blanc is a worldwide bestseller, inspired by the iconic white L.12.12 polo shirt that founder René Lacoste invented back in 1933. The Limited Edition fragrance builds on the impressive sporting legacy of LACOSTE’s innovative founder, René Lacoste, reinventing the brand heritage to create a truly modern collectible scent with a nod to past.

LACOSTE EAU DE LACOSTE L.12.12 Limited Edition
René Lacoste was a tenacious sportsman, winning numerous accolades and titles throughout his illustrious career, including an Olympic medal and seven Grand Slam championships. He is passionate about tennis and firmly believing that the best games are those that are played well, as he defined it ‘le beau jeu’ (the beautiful game). Also he is best known for his tenacity on the tennis court, René Lacoste then invented the polo shirt in 1933. He named L.12.12, L which stands for LACOSTE, 1 references the first choice of fabric, “petit pique”, 2 represents the short sleeves and 12 is the number of prototypes made before the final product. Thus EAU DE LACOSTE L.12.12 was born. It is a collection of fragrances for men that captures the timeless spirit and authenticity of the polo shirt in a fragrance.

The most anticipated French makeup brand, Bourjois has opened its first kiosk in Sunway Pyramid last weekend. This highly raved mastige makeup brand was brought in and distributed by none other than Luxasia, Asia’s leading distributor of world-renowned fragrance and beauty brands. Here’s a fun fact. Luxasia has always known to be distributing premium brands and Bourjois is their first mastige brand. What do you do with your first mastige baby? You make it big. Their first kiosk in Sunway Pyramid Level LG1 will be the proof of success. It is the first kiosk ever in the world for Bourjois. Luxasia have successfully put Malaysia into the benchmark map for the rest of the world to follow.

Bourjois Kiosk Sunway Pyramid 1
Last week I took some time off and drove all the way there to be a part of this new excitement. It was a weekday so the crowd was not excessively huge that I’m afraid I will interrupt the kiosk daily sales operation. I was able to roam around the kiosk, taking my sweet time with photos and swatching some of the products that I was intrigued with. This will be a picture heavy blogpost with lesser words from me 😀

Shiseido Suncare now with SuperVeil-UV 360™ for an all around 360° sun protection

As I was composing my thoughts and gathering all the infos needed for this post, I feel content, relax and not forgetting to mention lazy. I partly blame it on the cloudy weather. There’s a pros and cons of working from home. One of it is not being able to dress up nicely and put on makeup. This might come as a surprise to you because I do put on makeup and sunscreen while working from home. If I don’t, I will just slather on a thick layer of sunscreen. Why? Because I’m on my notebook and I work under two fluorescent light the whole day.

No matter how high an SPF you use, there are tiny creases and furrows in the skin’s surface that until now, sun protection hasn’t been able to reach evenly. Shiseido managed to identified these little gaps between the layer of sun protection and the skin. It turns out covering every bit of the skin’s surface with sunscreen is surprisingly difficult to achieve. The solution? Shiseido’s patented leading edge UV protection technologies – SuperVeil-UV 360™.

Shiseido Perfect UV Protector SPF50
Because the skin’s surface texture comes from its microscopic network of ridges and furrows, it can cause “gaps” in sunscreen application that will leave skin vulnerable and open to UV rays. What SuperVeil-UV 360™ technology do is to help to provide optimal sunscreen application over the skin’s intricate surface contours. Here’s a simple skin chart to help you understand better on how SuperVeil-UV 360™ can help to protect the skin surface from harmful UV rays.
