My review:
Its really a good pampering experience to use the Sulwhasoo - Basic care kit. First care serum acts as an skin advancer, directly boosts the efficacy and absorption of subsequent skincare products. After application, my skin is instantly hydrated and fresh-looking! The texture is light yet very concentrated with some herbal scent. Thanks for the kind consideration! The trial kit actually provides direction on the sequence of particular skincare product to use.
 
Followed by toner, emulsion and eye cream, next is Ginseng Renewing Cream. A rich and nourishing face cream which I will use it for face massage to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. This luxurious moisturiser gives my skin a smooth, plump and velvety feel the next morning! Is an ideal skincare to calm and relax your skin to maximise your beauty sleep after a hectic day ^_^

SKINC - Pure UV Protect SPF30 PA++

What will be my first product to blog about for 2015? Its the SKINC - Pure UV Protect SPF30 PA++(see picture below)

I got this from a SKINC event at Sephora ION recently with IT girl Velda Tan(@belluspuera - instagram) and Joey Ng. That was my first time seeing them. They are gorgeous and their skin is good, very beautiful ^_^ I am so impressed and nervous to talk to them=P

Previously I have bought and tried SKINC products before, such as their star product: The revival peel and the serums at SKINC -The Central outlet.

After the event, I have received SKINC - Pure UV Protect SPF 30 PA++ 30 ml (Made in Japan) and 2 bottles of their serums (the repair and relieve) as the door gift =D
Some info about SKINC - Pure UV Protect:

SKINC - Pure UV Protect SPF30 PA++ (one of Velda Tan's favourite SKINC product) is an all-in-one makeup base, sunscreen, moisturiser and anti-aging cream that effortlessly airbrushes skin to perfection in one fuss-free application.

Containing Ceramide-2 and marine collagen, skin appears blemish-free while moisture levels are retained and skin is guarded against aging.

How to use: Apply a small amount on to the back of your hand, apply on to dry face and spread evenly.
Currently I am using it everyday after my daily skincare routine steps: toner, serum and moisturiser.
Just 1 pump on the back of my hand, spread evenly and gently dab it on to my skin to create a matte and natural finish followed by loose powder. I am ready to go! ^_^


My review: At first I thought this product will be very thick and rich just like my other makeup foundation/bb cream products. To my surprise, SKINC - Pure UV Protect hides skin imperfections, offers long-lasting mattifying coverage and at the same time keeps my skin hydrated with its light formula. It also has sunscreen of SPF 30 PA++ which helps to shield my skin from the sun. All I need is just 1 tube of SKINC - Pure UV Protect in my bag with me whenever I go! ^_^

Nuxe Merveillance Event

Nuxe event to discover new skincare range Merveillance Anti-aging Innovation was held at Antoinette (located at Palais Renaissance B1-08/09/10C). This is my first visit to there.

Antoinette is a quintessential Parisian patisserie and salon du thé, named after the last queen of France who was so often revered for her fine taste and lavishly indulgent love for an excess of meticulously crafted pastries.

Setting herself apart as a hidden gem that makes for the perfect venue for a tête-à-tête, Antoinette’s repertoire of exquisite Parisian offerings will tempt even the most discerning of palates with her takes on time-honoured French classic desserts and savouries!

Antoinette also has a facebook page (LIKE them here)

The event place was well-decorated with beautiful red flowers and of course the Nuxe new launch- the Merveillance expert range! I couldn't wait to try it out and feel the texture of them.
Photo booth is a MUST for all events! Nuxe Merveillance Event photo booth (see below)
Beautiful garden place like Antoinette is a perfect location for Nuxe Merveillance Event as "Nuxe is all about increasingly demanding scientific expertise, constant research and innovation in floral based cosmetics". Floral and greenery garden is a perfect match!

There were also refreshments and drinks provided from Antoinette, they were super delicious such as pastries, beef burgers, fresh salmon etc. Not only from the look of it, you should come Antoinette personally and try them out. Its definitely not your first and last, there will always be next time ;)

Here are some photos taken at Nuxe Merveillance Event photo booth. I like the background and the designated Nuxe photo frame =)

Can you find my photo here?
Here you go......my photo at the Nuxe Merveillance Event!

Nuxe Merveillance Event presentation began with an introduction on the new Merveillance expert range - The discovery of molecules with unique properties inside a flower that has never before been used in cosmetics, Daylily!

A key protein that remains almost unexplored in cosmetics, despite its role in the integrity of the skin's architecture: vimentin. Nuxe launches an innovative anti-aging formula that delivers a dual action: an ANTI-GLYCATION action to "protect" & a unique DE-GLYCATION action to "repair" the 3 key dermal proteins: collagen, elastin and vimentin.

Merveillance range comprises five skincare essentials - a serum, a day cream, a rich day cream, a night cream, eye contour for daily and precise response to every need. Each and every product is an olfactory pleasure of a delicate fragrance with a floral bouquet ^_^, combining the softness of ylang ylang, the femininity of jasmine and richness of vanilla =D
Thanks Nuxe for the generous goodie bag  - The Nuxe Merveillance full range of skincare products:

5 Marvels of expertise and pleasure:

1) MERVEILLANCE Expert Jour: Correcting cream for visible lines
-Ultimate moisturizing effects to improve skin elasticity, soothe and protect

2) MERVEILLANCE Expert Enrichie Jour: Rich correcting cream for visible lines

-A firm and delectable texture, ideal for dry and very dry skin

3) MERVEILLANCE Expert Yeux: Lifting eye cream for visible lines

-Rich in calcium and wakamic ester provides its night function, to reactivate the expression of 14 genes involved in skin elasticity and firmness

Thanks Nuxe for organising this event and your invitation! Personally I feel very honoured and glad that I have attended this event because I get to know more about Nuxe Merveillance skincare range such as its innovation process of using DayLily flower and Merveillance expert helps diminish wrinkles and combat loss of firmness effectively.
