Lancome Trésor Midnight Rose








































Meet the new Lancome Ambassadress .. Emma Watson who incarantes a smart and stylish young woman with incredible modernity. Emma is also creative, passionate, committed and concerned about the future of the planet that she recently designed her own ethical fashion collection. A young woman who now offers Lancome her radiant smile, intense gaze and all the freshness of being in her 20's... yes, we can expect to see more of this pretty stunning young lady from the Harry Potter movies, appearing on upcoming Lancome's commercials and ad prints.


Femininity lingers in her wake, an ethereal delight structured around rose. A lasting "scented trail" of an unforgettable woman: Trésor Midnight Rose





































Lancome Trésor Midnight Rose is a sweet and joyful fragrance that embodies michievous femininity; rose becomes playful, driven by deliciously tangy raspberry notes, wooden shimmers and voluptuous vanilla notes. This spontaneous, irresistible rose charms everything in its path.




















Top Notes: Raspberry, Black currant bud absolute
Middle Notes: Rose absolute, Jasmine
Base Notes: Vanilla, Musk


My first impression of the perfume was somewhat sweet and fruitty. However, after wearing the perfume in the last two weeks, I have to say that it is still a sweet but sensual  fragrance that is able to uplift my mood.( I think its the rose, raspberry at work) and the fragrance is able to last on me throughout the whole evening when I was out .. the dry down scent of musk plus hint of sweet vanilla is pretty seductive and additive though. If you are a sweet fruitty fragrance lover, do go to the nearest Lancome counters to try it on yourself... and indulge in the sensual and happy scents of this lovely fragrance..























The bottle is inspired by the romantic hour, just before midnight, when magic tints the sky a violet hue. This radiant jewel dressed in a delicate gradation of powdery pink to violet scintillates with multiple reflections. At its neck, a nighttime rose with satiny purple petals has just bloomed under the diamond-cut cap.

A precious rose symbolizing passionate love, and to double the fun, you can wear the precious rose accessory as a ring.

Lancome Trésor Midnight Rose  (50ml and 75ml) editions are available at all Lancome Beauty Counters from 1 Nov 2011 onwards. The prices of the 50ml and 75ml editions are $100 and $130 respectively.

New Product Launches: Elizabeth Arden Prevage White Targeted Skin Tone Corrector and Green Tea Camellia


















Early this week, I attended Elizabeth Arden's new product launches with a group of ladies (Elizabeth Arden Staffs and beauty bloggers) at the cozy Cova Pasticceria - Confetteria @Paragon where Elizabeth Arden's Regional Training Manager (Ms Angline Lim-De Silva) presented to us on the latest additional of the Prevage range which is Prevage White Targeted Skin Tone Corrector as well as the limited edition new fragrance - Green Tea Camellia..



Let meet the latest member of the Prevage family.. Prevage White Targeted Skin Tone Corrector



Most Asians ladies (especially Japanese and Korean)  love to have fair skin and we adore whitening products, don't we? and that is the reason why it is known as Prevage Clarity Targeted Skin Tone Corrector (in US, Europe and the Middle-East)  but named as Prevage White Targeted Skin Tone Corrector here in Asia.. because the magic word "White" will appeal more to the Asians.. Think for me, I would prefer a clear complexion than a fair complexion..

So you want clear or fair complexion??

Why do you need to give up one for another when you can have the best of both worlds.. With Prevage White Skin Tone Corrector, we can now look forward to having a more even toned appearance and a healthy look that glows!

What is the special benefits of Prevage White Targeted Skin Tone Corrector?
New PREVAGE® White delivers Soy Ferulate-C. This powerful complex combines soy ferulate, known to help protect skin from environmental assaults that can lead to pigmentation irregularities. It also channels the proven whitening effects of Vitamin C, to help interrupt the melanin cycle and prevent the formation of skin discolorations.

It contains Idebenone, one of the most powerful antioxidants, to help prevent oxidation on the skin. It also helps to reduce the appearance of lines, wrinkles, age spots as it improves the look of firmness and sun damage.

For best results, use Prevage White with Prevage Face Advanced Anti-Aging Serum, Tests show amplified effects on the overall appearance of skin. In additional, it is a must to use SPF protection to shield skin from the harmful UV rays.

We were each given a deluxe-size sample of Prevage White Targeted Skin Tone Corrector to bring home to try..


































Prevage White Targeted Skin Tone Corrector smells like its siblings in the Prevage family. It is hard to describe the scent, but rest assured that it is something pleasant, unlike the strong scent of Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream. The texture is really creamy and lightweight that it just absorbed effortlessly when I massaged the product onto my skin. I can feel that my skin feel smoother after application. As I have only used the product for 3 days, it is still too early to see any obvious results except that my skin feel really smooth after each application and I did not experience any breakouts in the past 3 days of usage (touchwood!)

However, it is mentioned that women reported that their skin looked instantly radiant after using Prevage White. After just 2 weeks, the appearance of dark spots began to improve. After 8 weeks, dark spots and discolorations looked lighter and less noticeable.

And do you know that the regular use of both Prevage White Targeted Skin Tone Corrector and Prevage Face can help to improve the appearance of melasma?

Melasma is a skin disorder whereby dark, irregular patches occur, usually, on the cheeks, forehead, upper lip and the bridge of the nose. I heard that for patients with Melasma, doctors would recommend a more expensive course of treatments as IPL does not help in cases of Melasma.

So if you are suffering from Melasma, can give Prevage White Targeted Skin Tone Corrector and Prevage Face a try before you go knocking on the doctor's door.





Up next, we were presented with the Limited Edition Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Camellia which will be launching in April. (Yah, this month!)






Discover the world of Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Camellia. Renowned for its rare beauty and revered for its use in the traditional tea ceremony, the Camellia brings an intriguing floral scent and exotic intrigue to the crisp freshness of the original Green Tea fragrance. Inspired by Ikebana, the ancient art of Japanese flower arrangement, this luxurious fragrance reveals the delicate grace of a single perfect blossom as it unfolds petal by petal.

Top Notes:
Sheer Bergamot, Yuzu, Sparkling Lemon, Green Tea Vapors, Ume Plum

Middle Notes:
Green Tea Leaves, Camellia Sasanqua, White Peony, Chinese Magnolia, Jasmine Petals, Mandarin Tree Blossom

Base Notes:
Angelica Musk, White Birch, Moss, Touches of Sweet Spices


More about Camellia Sasanqua -
The camellia flower has been used in Asia for centuries as an honorific centrepiece in tea ceremonies. Camellias were so prevalent that they were called the queen of tea ceremony flowers.

Packaging:
The Green Tea bottle is updated with a teal blue color that contrasts beautifully with the iconic green tea leaf. The box that houses the bottle looks pretty with a pair of pure white, richly embossed camellia blosoms outlined in silver, against a deep teal blue background.

My thoughts about Green Tea Camellia:
My first impression of the fragrance was it was refreshing and flowery with a hint of green tea scent. I wore the fragrance out the every next day and my boyfriend was asking why there was a nice scent.. (so the fragrance does smell nice to people around you.) The fragrance is quite lasting and strong that I can still smell it on me after a few hours. Know what, I prefer the scent on my cardigan even more the very next day.. The smell sort of dry down to a subtle yet feminine scent.
