Avon’s Mega Effects Mascara is the 1st WONDERBRUSH that changes mascara history!

For women, mascara is a vital step in their beauty routine. Whether you prefer your lashes natural and fluttery or bold and voluminous, a look would feel somewhat ‘incomplete’ without a lick of mascara. A good mascara should add both length and volume, so say goodbye to itty-bitty-barely-there lashes with Avon’s Mega Effects Mascara.

The WonderBrush: Mega Effects Mascara replaces the standard wand with an innovative new multi-dimensional brush that lifts top and bottom lashes from root to tip in a whole new way. The first-ever brush of its kind, the WonderBrush fits the curve of your eyes and can be used at 12 different angles for a corner-to-corner lash transformation. The bigger bristle area combs through lashes easily for phenomenal clump-free volume, putting 40 percent more mascara to lash*.

Get The Look: To use, grip at the sides and remove the mascara cap. Rock the brush from side to side to pull out. Bend the brush to your desired angle and apply from root to tip. To close, insert the applicator until it locks in place.

The Results: Bold lashes with panoramic volume. Eyes look bigger and lashes look darker, denser and more dramatic. Clump-proof, sweat-proof, non-flaking and non-smudging. Ophthalmologist tested.

The Experts: “I love Mega Effects Mascara; the bendable wand allows you to get in close from many different angles, making it super easy to use. I always keep at least one in my makeup kit!” -Lauren Anderson, Avon Global Celebrity Makeup Artist

“There hasn’t been true innovation in mascara since the 1950s. We realized there was a need for an improved application process and Avon is changing history by introducing a breakthrough with ergonomics in mind that will change the mascara application experience.” -Lisa Lamberty, Avon Executive Director of Color Research & Development

This is really an interesting design for a mascara, haven't seen anything like this before! Ah I want to get my hand on this to try and see how it works!

Avon Mega Effects Mascara goes on sale this 1 September 2013 at RM38.00(S&S RM43.70). Contact your Avon Dealer or visit the nearest Avon Beauty Boutique.

Beware: Kanebo Cosmetics Japan recalls 54 skincare products (17 products affected in Malaysia) after customers complained white patches on their skin after using the products!

One of the biggest news in the last few days is that Kanebo Cosmetics Japan recalls 54 skin whitening products from all over Asia after complaints they caused discolouring that does not clear up even after use was discontinued.

I read that those Kanebo products that being recalled contain e quasi-drug ingredient rhododenol 4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-butanol (in short it's called 4HPB), which is contained in products manufactured by Kanebo and its affiliates Lissage and E’quipe, reported the appearance of white blotches on their skin. All of the brightening products in question contained rhododenol. Kanebo said they have received 39 complaints from customers in Japan. Of those, 15 had shown no improvement in their conditions even after they stopped using the products. 

Despite the recent finding, the ingredient has been approved by Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare in accordance with the Pharmaceutical Affairs Act. It had also passed “extensive safety tests”, according to Kanebo, although the company decided to voluntarily recall all of its products containing the ingredient due to the possibility of other customers experiencing the same side effects. 

 Masum Natsusaka, the President of Japan's cosmetics maker Kanebo, and other executives bow to apologise in Tokyo to the public. 

Kanebo should be given credit for openly apologizing and voluntarily recalling all the products that has the said 4HPB ingredient because this move would definitely affected their image and business in the future. It is not an easy step for a cosmetic company like Kanebo to recall products when they have actually shipped a total of 4.36 million products in Japan and 370,000 items out to overseas. Besides Japan, there are 10 Asian countries which are affected which includes Malaysia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, South Korea, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, Myanmar, the Philippines and Vietnam. And Taiwan is the largest overseas market for the Kanebo products.

Out of the 54 products recalled in Japan, only 17 products are that are sold in Malaysia and being recalled are:-

Kanebo Blanchir Superior

(1) White Deep Clear Conditioner I 

(2) White Deep Clear Conditioner II 

(3) White Deep Clear Conditioner III 

(4) White Deep Milky Conditioner I 

(5) White Deep Milky Conditioner II 

(6) White Deep Night Conditioner I 

(7) White Deep Night Conditioner II 

(8) White Deep Mask 

(9) White Deep UV Day Protector 

 (not all products shown in the picture are affected)

Impress IC range

(1) Impress IC White Lotion I 

(2) IC White Lotion II 

(3) IC White Emulsion I 

(4) IC White Emulsion II

 (not all products shown in the picture are affected)

Also the Impress Granmula Lotion which I reviewed before! OMG.. lucky that time I did not develop white patches on my skin!

 RMK Skincare

(1) Skintuner Brightening Light 

(2) Skintuner Brightening Moist 

(3) Intensive Brightening Essence

  

At the moment,  Kanebo Malaysia has only make an announcement via their facebook page here only and not through any printed media.  They mentioned that to those customers who have bought those affected skincare, they are encourage to visit the Kanebo counter where they purchased the products, and not sure if there is a refund or products or anything. 

Honestly I am still in shock because I have tried most of the Kanebo & RMK skincare products and I am lucky that I did not develop any white patches on my face when I tried them. It is no secret that I am a big fan of their facial and in fact I still have Impress facial with them! I'm concern what about facial customers like myself as those products are being used during facial and waiting reply from them about the next step of action.

If any of you (your family or friends) are using the above mentioned products, it is advised to stop using them immediately! You can bring back the products (even without receipts) back to the counters that you have purchased to see what they can do.

Review : Kate Spring/Summer Collection 2013 ; Goldish Eyes Collection with 24k Real Gold!

Last week I attended Kate Makeup Workshop in Pavilion and one of the highlight of the event is the latest Kate Spring/Summer 2013 Collection. 

It was conducted in Platinum Room, Level 7, Seventh Heaven, Pavilion KL.

Kate Malaysia invited Mikiya Hirai is a Japanese Makeup Artist to conduct the workshop.

Lucky we got translator :)

Isabelle was the model for the makeup demonstration. This is her BEFORE picture.

Below are the products that Mr. Mikiya used on Isabelle during the makeup demonstration. He would be creating Day & Night look.

Mr. Mikiya used Freshel Whitening UV Gel (RM67) after he removed Isabelle's face. According to Mr. Mikiya, this Freshel UV Whitening has 5 functions i.e Lotion, Essence, Emulsion, Cream and UV Makeup Base. Since it has SPH 26 PA++, it can be used in the morning only. For night, use Whitening Gel instead.

Kanebo Freshel Mineral BB Cream Pore Cover (RM59) , this is something new to me. It's a BB Cream at the same can work to help pore cover. I really like this because I do think my pores looked smaller and face is smoother after using this! Glad to find that the shade is alright on me too :D

After that Mr. Mikiya used Kate Powderless Liquid for Cover (RM79). I remembered Mr Mikaya was saying the liquid foundation will turn into powder in 15 seconds and surely it really turn into powder when I applied on my skin! No need to use loose powder after using this :D I quite like how smooth it feels on my skin :) 

Mr. Mikiya then used Kate Cover Concealer for Cover on Isabella, the texture is pretty creamy, well this is not my type of favourite texture for concealer. 

I tried Kate Eye Shadow Base for the first time, although this is cream in texture...I only need to use a little bit and I love how it smoothen out the creases on my eye lids and actually help to enhance the pigmentation of the eye shadow! 

Let's check out the highlight of the workshop, which is the Goldish Eyes Collection under the Kate Spring/Summer 2013 Collection. I remembered Mr Mikiya told us that in this Goldish Eyes Collection, each palette contains  of two unique gold pearl powders ; i.e Real Gold Pearl, a pure gold pearl powder with 0.1% 24k REAL gold, and Nuance Gold Pearl, a bright pearl powder with a hint of gold. Yes you read it correctly, REAL GOLD... how luxury is it to apply real gold on eyes right... !

There are a total of 4 Goldish Eyes palettes and each palette, you can see the word "GOLD" is embedded on top of the eyeshadows , which means those 2 colours have "real gold" in it. 

Below are the swatch for the Goldish Eyes Collection under the Kate Spring/Summer 2013 Collection. Each priced at RM59.

   

GD-1 is my personal favourite, I like the overall combination of colours of gold, brown and dark brown. 

Overall the collection colours looked very natural and with the goldish shimmer it would give a glamorous and sophisticated finishing! And these kinda of natural colour are really easy to apply & suit all skin tone. However I do think the eyeshadow texture is quite powdery to apply and colour looked really light in reality.. and in order to let the colour looked more pigmented, the eyeshadow base is definitely a must here.

This Kate Shiny Eyelid Liner is part of the  new launch in the Spring/Summer Collection 2013 too! Very easy to use & the shine is not too overwhelming. Perfect to use at the lower eyelid to make the eyes looked more dolly!

Kate also have Mascara base, Volume Gel Mascara & New Lash Extension Mascara (which is the middle one) RM59. I heard that the curved fibers can give 5mm lenghtening effect to our existing lash! 

Others Kate products that Mr Mikiya used on Isabelle.

The day look at Mr Mikiya created on Isabelle 

The night look (party) version. 

For night look, Mr Mikiya said shading is important to make the face feature looked sharp. He showed that the shading stars from the cheek bone all the way up to the side forehead. 

And now is my turn to try on the makeup! 

Naked face - a compulsory Before picture

p/s: Got to take with flash because the light in the room is quite dim :(

Well I followed exactly the tutorial in the booklet given in creating the Goldish Eyes using GD-1 palette.

My after picture

How do you like my makeover which I did on myself :D 

 Close up on the eyes makeup I did. The goldish shimmer is fine and shimmering and it must be because of the pure gold ingredients in it I think

 Look, can you see the BLING shimmering on my eyes!  

Must be the gold bling bling I have on my eyes that brings me luck..because during the workshop I won a set of Kate Goldish after answering correctly during the Q&A session! Yay!

 A picture of myself with Mr. Mikiya Hirai. He was really friendly and keep checking on my makeup when I was doing mine. And he nodded and said... good ! *happy* 

Me & Farah Hany, one of readers whom I invited along to the event...I knew her few years back and now she is now a web designer in Nuffnang office :D 

Looking at my picture, I quite like the Kanebo Freshel Mineral BB Cream Pore Cover & Powderless Liquid for Cover because my face looked pretty flawless & fresh here! 

So what is your favourite pick from the Kate Spring/Summer Collection 2013?

Beauty News: Lea Michele is the L’Oreal Paris NEW Ambassador

L’Oréal Paris is pleased to announce award-winning actress Lea Michele as the brand’s newest ambassador. Lea’s talent took her from Broadway to the big screen where she stole the hearts of Americans on Glee as a show stopping soprano Rachel Berry.

“Growing up on stage, I was introduced to makeup at a young age and I will never forget the first time I tried on a L’Oréal Paris iconic lipstick –it was instant glamour and I’ve been hooked ever since!  I’ve been a fan of L’Oréal Paris’ products for years, but it wasn’t until I was a bit older that I fully understood the brand’s message of a woman’s worth, which I wholeheartedly agree with. L’Oréal Paris encourages women to embrace their beauty and celebrate their self-worth.  I feel very honored to be working with L’Oreal Paris to help spread that message to young women” says Lea Michele.

Lea is perhaps best known for her role in the critically-acclaimed, Fox TV television series Glee, which returned this month for its fourth season. Throughout her role as Rachel, Lea has received a People’s Choice Award, a Teen Choice Award and a Screen Actors Guild Award. She has also been honored with an Emmy Award nomination and two Golden Globe nominations.

 In addition to her role on Glee, Lea has performed solo concerts to sold-out crowds in New York and Los Angeles and has lent her vocal talents to two feature films. In 2011, Lea starred in the romantic comedy New Year's Eve and in 2013, Lea will star in Summertime Entertainment's animated 3D film Dorothy of Oz, providing vocals on several original numbers. Lea’s talents span the entertainment industry, but when she is not performing she dedicates her time to supporting causes close to her heart.   

Today, Lea joins the L’Oréal Paris Spokespersons family, including Jennifer Lopez, Beyoncé Knowles, Julianna Margulies, Eva Longoria, Andie MacDowell, Freida Pinto and Aimée Mullins, among others. Lea Michele will debut in TV and print advertising campaigns for the leading global beauty brand beginning in the United States in early 2013. 

AUPRES by Shiseido is now available in Malaysia! Featuring AUPRES skincare and makeup together with pricelist!

A while ago I was invited to the launch of AUPRES which is a  new skincare & makeup brand under Shiseido Company. 

AUPRES is not exactly new because it has successfully established itself as one of the top cosmetic brand in China after being launched in 1994 and the brand’s main skincare line was officially revamped in 2008 and Sun Li, China’s small-screen darling was appointed as the ambassafor. After 18 successful years, with more than 900 counters in China, Malaysia is the 2nd country in the world that has AUPRES. Also I was kinda suprise when I was told that AUPRES is not available in Japan even though it's a brand under Shiseido Japan, I wonder why... many in Japan too many brands under Shiseido already!

AUPRES, which means “next to you, close to you” in French upholds its basic philosophy of “High Quality”, “High Service” and “High Image” is an exclusive skincare and makeup brand launched in 1994.
