AHAVA Caressing Body Sorbet / AHAVA 天然橘子身體潤膚雪葩

Today's feature will be on body care. Apart from the Hydration Cream Mask reviewed last time, also included in AHAVA's package was their Caressing Body Sorbet, under their Body Moisturizers category HERE. 

上次講完 AHAVA既水份面膜, 今次同大家講下 body care既產品先. 講潤膚, 佢地一共有 4 種產品, 我諗呢隻天然橘子身體潤膚雪葩應該係質感最輕型果款!

Cath Kidston Coming Up Roses Collection & Store Event

2013 marks the 20th anniversary for Cath Kidston, the first store opened in HK early this year and now a Limited collection called "Coming Up Roses" is being released in celebration of the 20th anniversary. I've been an avid fan of Cath products (mainly kitchen utensils and stationery, bath and body items that I'm fond of), I know some people are fans of their tote bags and all that, but it's the home accessories that drew me in.

Winter Skin Saviors for cracked heels, elbows and hands

Does your elbow look dry and flaky? Your heels? If you do, read on. I'm blogging on two skin saviors for healing my seriously cracked heels and flaky elbow joints, and of course, chapped and red hands.

The best things always came out of the blue

Two days ago, before I go for a shower, I get together the usual products which I was going to use during/after the shower, and this is what happened: these four product staples were all in aqua blue! Now, will you excuse me for the bad pun in the post title, that was completely random, but I decided a post would be on its way to introduce my shower time staples, and here we are. 

Latest drugstore gems //開架自有黃金屋

I have never been one who paid much attention to drugstore brands (don't get me wrong, I'm by no means a beauty snob), it's just you see those brands nearly every day and don't care much about them. Yet, if you look closer, you'd be able to find affordable beauty gems that deliver results comparable to high street brands! Today I'm sharing my latest finds:

我一向不太留意開架式品牌, (我當然不是 "非專櫃品牌不用" 那種人), 只是開架式品牌到處都是, 甚少會注意它們的新產品罷了. 不過, 細看之下, 其實有不少便宜又好用的美容新品啊! 近期和大家分享的新發現是:

1. Maybelline Pure BB Mousse Mineral Instant Skin Smoother SPF 30 PA+++

"Aura" by Swarovski x Clarins: New Fragrance and makeup launch party// 新作: Aura by Swarovski x Clarins香氛

Hello lovlies! I was honored to be invited by Douglas (Special thanks to Doug if you're reading this :)) to the "Aura by SWAROVSKI" launch party, apparently Swarovski has a collaboration with Clarins Fragrance group to invent a new perfume with crystal embellishments! And here I shall unveil the new fragrance and makeup range for ya :)

很高興獲邀出席 Aura by Swarovski的cocktail party, Swarovski與Clarins合作推出香氛 (產品當然是有水晶裝飾!). 等我揭露下當晚的party和新系列吧 :)

The party was a regional event held at Domani restaurant in Hong Kong, it adopts a lilac-toned theme.

是次party在金鐘的Domani舉行, 主題以淡紫色調為主, 配合新香氛的設計.

近看上面的水晶裝飾:

I've been testing out the new scent and I instantly wore the pendant these few days, the pendant + lipgloss design was so handy for touch-ups. If you happen to come across this new perfume from Swarovski, I highly recommend you to go and have a sniff! The new range will be out on 1st April.

我戴了頸鍊數日了, 內藏唇彩和鏡子的設計很方便. 香水的味頗持久, 有機會的話大家要親自試試它的味道啊! 4月1日有售.
