[Review] Sisley Phyto-Blanc Brightening Cushion Foundation | A Whisk of Blissful Natural Radiance For Your Complexion

March presented us with a little surprise from the beloved French luxury skincare and beauty brand, Sisley Paris. Thanks to the graciousness of Sisley Malaysia team, we received a very special package, to the least of our expectation, Sisley Paris finally came on board the cushion bandwagon - presenting you the brand's very first cushion foundation with skincare benefits, the Sisley Phyto-Blanc Brightening Cushion Foundation, (here for more) extending a more than 15 years of research on the mechanism of melanogenesis in its Photo-Blanc range of skincare expertise to make-up, creating an all-new foundation with lightening and protective properties.

Sisley Paris as a brand is renowned for its phyto-cosmetology philosophy, incorporating this concept to all its creations - using the best plant-based extracts in order to create the best skincare and cosmetics. We are super excited to say the least, to try out this cushion foundation designed for Asian skin! Let's get started, shall we?

Review | Sisley Paris Izia, The Collision of Fresh Vibrancy With A Breeze Of Elegance

The culmination of freshness of fruity floral, seduction of a very rare kind of rose and the sweet warmth of woodiness of precious ingredients from the garden and nature bring forth this extremely unique scent, imbued with endless imagination and a sense of adventure, grounded with sensuality of a woman who looks at the world with a fresh new eyes and mind, every time. Sisley Paris's new scent,  IZIA  (here fore more) came to us like a breath of fresh air, as surprising as the gorgeous pink and gold accent packaging, and its exquisite glass bottle specially designed by Polish sculptor, Bronislaw Krzysztof is more than enough to entice you to take another look at Izia or just pick up the bottle and to sample its amazingly unique scent. We are pleasantly surprised, truly. 

Holiday Series 2015 | L'Occitane x Pierre Hermé

A marriage of style and substance, a perfect union of the world of scent and the universe of taste, this is of course, like no other, indeed. We are, totally mesmerized by this unique collaboration between the founder of L'Occitane, Olivier Baussan and the "Picasso of Pastry", nicknamed by Vogue magazine, the pastry chef Pierre Hermé and close friend of Olivier for 20 years. 

The result of this close working relationship is one festive Christmas collection that ignites the senses, a line of cosmetics with delicate perfumes, as delicate as the balance of love for plants on one hand, and the tastes of an epicurean on the other. It is the tribute to the Corsican and Mediterranean landscapes, which both these talented artisans and creators love so much. We had the privilege to experience and savour such wondrous moments and sample some of the scents, while enjoying a perfect luncheon courtesy of L'Occitane and Melvita Malaysia previously. Come and discover what L'Occitane has to offer this gifting time of the year, and for a limited time only. Hurry! 

[Review] Melvita Organic Pulpe De Rose Plumping Radiance Serum

We had the pleasure to try out Melvita's Organic Pulpe De Rose Plumping Radiance Serum, right about the same time when we were using their Pulpe De Rose Plumping Radiance Duo Facial Oil (reviewed here) previously. You would have guessed it right, we love that facial oil, and still do.

Organic skincare is something that will always get our interest piqued for natural ingredients from organic farming incorporated in a skincare product do not only make the product more appealing, they are also gentler to the skin and the environment and the world that we live in, and harvest from. That respect for our mother nature by French skincare brand like Melvita is something we truly appreciate. 

The Ingredients

Fine lines and wrinkles are a natural progression in life, but we can always have a better approach by preventing the aging process sooner by using an anti-aging product like the Melvita Pulpe De Rose Plumping Radiance Serum, at an earlier stage. This serum has a concentration of energizing and smoothing active ingredients, coupled with rose floral water, and it is designed to do just that - smooth away the signs of aging, first wrinkles to reveal a more radiant skin tone. Enriched with marsh clover, with recognized antioxidant properties, it provides long-lasting action to keep the skin firm and renewed.

We were extremely delighted when Melvita Malaysia approached us to try out some of their organic skincare products previously. One of them was this lovely concoction called Organic Pulpe De Rose Plumping Radiance Duo. We gladly said yes and a beautiful package filled with gorgeous pink roses was ready for LUMINNEJ. Super excited we were.
