Assalamualaikum and hello! Recently I was invited by The Butterfly Project to join a fun-filled makeover and photoshoot session with Clinique Malaysia team ^_^ the main objective of this photoshoot was to give the 10 selected Butterfly bloggers an unforgettable, professional photoshoot experience with Clinique's newest beauty in town, the Beyond Perfecting Foundation + Concealer SPF 19/PA++

Upon arriving at the venue, I was beyond impressed by the awesome landscape of Metal Bees Production House. I never thought a production house would be this pretty and from the outside it totally looks like an event space, no kidding! So, the new Beyond Perfecting Foundation + Concealer SPF 19/PA++ is created for makeup wearers who are looking for a foundation that is able to give you medium to full coverage without feeling heavy or cakey, and it also acts as a concealer as well so that you won't need layering to achieve that perfect canvas. With the concept of "Weightless Meets Flawless, in the wave of a wand", this new foundation + concealer also comes with SPF 19/PA++ to give you ample sun protection. Armed with a doe-foot wand that is specifically designed, it helps users to spread the foundation on wide skin area and also to spot conceal at the same time. For Asian market, the new Clinique Beyond Perfecting Foundation + Concealer SPF 19/PA++ comes in 6 wearable shades and it is fragrance-free and allergy tested.

The Makeover

We were told to come without base makeup and all the lovely Clinique beauticians helped transform us into flawless beauties. I was really impressed with the new Clinique Beyond Perfecting Foundation + Concealer because I really didn't feel anything on my face, as if I'm bare faced all the time after they put it on me. Seriously, it covers my dark acne scars and also my dark circles effortlessly and when I got home, all sweaty and tired, my face still appear perfect and the makeup doesn't melt. I call this as love at first use, hehe!

The Photoshoot

I always think that I'm a total awkward, I don't think I know how to pose and I feel that I'm only good in front of the camera when talking XD however, the production crews did a great job in helping me ease my awkwardness and suggested some poses to me. I remember Madam Yen, the Senior Communication Manager of Clinique kept on saying "she is so photogenic" and I kinda went "what photogenic?" followed by a roaring laughter because I never thought anyone would ever say that to me, hehe! Turns out I really love all the shots the photographer took of me, and I had a hard time choosing one to be printed out. I really wish I could have all :p

To Clinique team and The Butterfly Project founder, Tammy Lim, thank you for allowing me to be a part of this event. I really had so much fun meeting up with my lovely girls at the event and I really enjoyed testing the new Clinique Beyond Perfecting Foundation + Concealer SPF 19/PA++ and that photoshoot was an experience I'll never forget. I remember being happy, confident and content that day, all thanks to Clinique for making me feel like a million dollar ^_^ so readers, if you're looking for a new foundation + concealer that has uber awesome coverage but feels featherlight on the skin, does not melt or turn oily when you get sweaty and most importantly friendly to the skin, then I suggest you to try the new Clinique Beyond Perfecting Foundation + Concealer SPF 19/PA++ because personally, as a person who never preferred wearing foundation, I am a total convert now as I use this almost every day to work, with zero regrets. It's time for you to change too!

Assalamualaikum and hello! Let me tell you one thing about me. Apart from being a cotton pad addict, I am also a toner freak. I love toners and I feel happy to have lots of them on my table. No, I'm not a psycho but I'm just special that way :p So, when I tore open the parcel that surprised me last week, I was happy and intrigued at the same time because despite of receiving the ordinary watery toner, I received a gel toner instead.

Hada Labo Multifunctioning 5-in-1 Whitening Cooling Gel Lotion is the latest innovation that functions as a lotion, mask, essence, astringent and emulsion. Promising to leave a cool, refreshing sensation on your skin upon application, the two types of Hyaluronic Acid (Hyaluronic Acid and Nano Hyaluronic Acid) contained in this Hada Labo Whitening Cooling Gel Lotion also aim to instantly penetrate into the deepest layer of our skin for a deep hydration effect that does not result in stickiness on the skin.

Though Hada Labo is known for its effective hydration properties, this Hada Labo Whitening Cooling Gel Lotion also contains Vitamin C derivatives with aim to balance skin tone for a visibly fairer, translucent and naturally radiant looking skin. Apart from that, it also contains Witch Hazel leaf extract that acts as an astringent to tighten and refine pores for a smoother looking skin. With all these goodness combined, Hada Labo Whitening Cooling Gel Lotion is your one perfect solution towards whitening, hydration and the key to smooth and supple skin all-day long.

Hada Labo has been producing skincare products that are fragrance-free, colorant-free, mineral oil-free and pH balance with low irritant on the skin in order to cater to all skin types. Hada Labo Whitening Cooling Gel Lotion is exclusively available at Watsons stores nationwide at a retail price of RM63.50 per bottle. 

Mieza Says :

I have been using this Hada Labo Whitening Cooling Gel Lotion twice a day for almost two weeks and I think I am ready to share with you my first impression on it. I cannot say anything about whitening yet as that will need a longer trial. Presentation wise, Hada Labo Whitening Cooling Gel Lotion comes in a transparent blue bottle with 200ml worth of product inside. The gel is not too thick, it absorbs very fast into my skin and it has no funny scent to it.

Okay, let's look at its hydration property. Does the Hyaluronic Acid and Nano Hyaluronic Acid help my skin? I say yes, because I have combination skin with dry patches near my eyebrows. I realized that with this Hada Labo Whitening Cooling Gel Lotion, those dry patches did not appear so badly anymore and my makeup application is smoother around that area. When applied, this gel lotion left a cool, smooth feeling on my and it is not-sticky at all. 

Next, do I find the 5-in-1 properties helpful? As a person who is always out and about, I can say that being 5-in-1 is helpful in terms of time saving if you're in a rush or if you hate hassle, or space saving on your dressing table or in your bag if you're travelling. This Hada Labo Whitening Cooling Gel Lotion comes in a big bottle so for travelling I advise you to transfer it into smaller bottles. 

In a nutshell, I am comfortable using this Hada Labo Whitening Cooling Gel Lotion as so far I found it being an ideal toner for me due to its properties of hydration, astringent, essence, lotion and emulsion. My skin stays smooth, bouncy and supple all day long and that is something I look forward to experience every day, thanks to Hada Labo Whitening Cooling Gel Lotion ^_^ I love multi-purpose skincare as it helps me to reduce layering and it saves time and space. I did not experience any breakouts nor skin discomfort along the course of using this Hada Labo Whitening Cooling Gel Lotion. The price is reasonable for the amount of product and it stays true to Hada Labo's skincare philosophy, Perfect x Simple. Recommended? Definitely ;)
