Treatments -Lancome - Visionnaire [LR 2412 4%]
snow_icw 11/26/2012 5:24:00 AM
I'm surprised to see that many people are seeing negative results with this product. First of all, I'm not a lancome fan and never really like any of their products. However, as the weather get hot my pores are becoming noticely visible so I've been desperately looking for something to tighten my pores or at least do something about it. I've tried tons of products and none really worked so with the huge marketing campaign of visionnaire and awards it received from magazines, I decided to try. After a week, I must say I'm super surprised with the results. My skin looks smoother and the complexion is glowing. Pores are also less noticable and makeup stay nicely throughout the day. Actually I'm not really sure what's this product supposed to do but I think it's working. My skin has been looking dull with open pores and small breakouts but I've been using this for three weeks and my skin has never looked better. I know the price is expensive but I've tried La Mer and other high-end brands but this works better for me. Will definitely repurchase if the effects stay.

Eye Shadow -Jill Stuart - Eye Jelly
snow_icw 5/7/2011 10:17:00 PM
This cute little eyeshadow is super shiny!! I got many colors due to the cute packaging that no one can resist. Like its name, the jelly texture glides on easily and you can definitely mix two colors to create different variations. I normally use it alone or as eyeshadow base. I don't find find that using it as a base helping the powder shadow to hold on longer; however, it does add glittery effects to your eyes. The jelly shadow probably lasted me two years before it dried up so it does has expiry date to it unlike many other types of shadows. For those who do not like too much glitters, I don't recommend this coz all the shades are super glittery!

Crème -Cle de Peau - Cream Foundation SPF 18
snow_icw 8/30/2010 12:34:00 AM
I've tried so many foundations and never come cross anything amazing like this. Even though the name said it's cream foundation, but it's not heavy nor oily/rich at all. The BA said it's a full-coverage fdt and it's really is. This cream fdt goes one quite matte and I don't really have to blend it at all, just put 5 dots and spread it ... you'll be amazed how thin it is. I got some pigmentations on my cheek and this fdt covers everything, I don't even need a concealor for my under eye circles. I have combination-oily skin and this product never make my skin looks oily (unlike the cle de peau fluid fdt which leaves my face looking really shiny). Price is reasonably high but it's worth every penny if you wanna look flawless! and I really mean FLAWLESS!! It's much much better than many brands out there that claim to give you the photo-finished or flawless skin. If you have money to invest, go for it and you wont be disappointed. CONS: I don't think ppl with dry skin will love it as much as I do because as I mentioned, it's quite matte.

Treatments -Cle de Peau - gel equilibrant
snow_icw 6/22/2010 7:37:00 AM
I recently just purchased this product because the BA has constantly recommended me to try for yrs and I was quite skeptical since every oil control product I've tried in the past has never actually worked. So last month, she called me and said there's a special promo and since she's been so nice to me so I gave it a try. And wow.. I could not believe it. This gel absorbs really quickly and smells like Eucalyptus or mint which I really like and it's a bit cool when applied. I have combination skin and my T-zone is usually very oily during the day. But for the first time, I found myself reaching for my powder to touch up a few hrs after I normally would. After looking in a mirror, I can honestly tell you that my face is significantly less oily that usual. In the past, I've tried Chanel T-mat, Shiseido pureness, Sofina very very, Clinique and Sisley but none really work like cle de peau one. At the price of $65 CAN, it's quite high but it's worth every penny. I'm not sure if this will treat pimple as well but as long as it keeps my face away from the shine, I'm super happy :)

Concealers -Cle de Peau - Concealer
snow_icw 4/21/2010 6:02:00 AM
Hands up, best concealor I've ever used before! I've been looking for a great concealor for as long as I can remember. I've tried Bobbi brown, Chanel, Guerlain, YSL, and Cinema Secret ;however, none beats this. I was hesitate at first because of the price tag but after I've done so many researches and asked everyone around me, they all said that Cle de peau is the best so I thought I had to give it a try and I'm glad I did. This concealor comes in 4 shades and Beige matches me perfectly. It comes in a stick so you need to warm up a little before you apply, best way is to dab it lightly under the eyes area and a little goes a long way, it gives you great coverage that can be built up... yet it's not too rich or greasy. Best thing is that it has SPF as well! One stick will last you for a really long time so it's a great investment. The most important though is that when you use it, it's so smooth that you dont feel like you put a concealor on!
